hardware dealer and member of the
Omaha city commission.
The meeting opened with a discus
sion of business problems generally.
The committee on planning and trade
Z
la t ions was empowered to have a
new lot ot "Peddler stay away troni
My Door" cards printed, with word
ing similar to the last group, which '
weiv put out sever;1.! years ago. Resi
dents of the lity will be urged to dis- :
play these cards at the entrance to;
their homes or apartments.
This brought ea some discussion of j
tbe so-cailed Creen River ordinance'
which de. lares a nuisance the ring- j
ii:g of one's doorbell on other than j
purely so: ial calls. This is not a li-j
ttnsirg measure in ar.y way, as it;
prohibits outright canvassing of any
kind in homes where the agent has j
not been invited to demonstrate his ;

serve the ordinance a misdemeanor j
punishable by fine or imprison
ment. This law has been upheld ii.

-states. A case at Aurora, where the
officers arrested the canvassers of an

pressed to the federal circuit court

favorable to the ordinance. This is

A bill in the legislature to limit
working hours of all feminine labor
to 4S hours per week came in for a
"o.d bit cf discussion. The body
oted to oppose the bill, submitting
:i petition to that effect to the legis
lature, and also that individual mom
Lvrs and other merchants and busi
ness nun of the city arrange to write
personal letters expressing their op
position. No action was taken to send
i representative before the committee
when the bill is called for hearing.
Hallas and Kressel Speak
Following an expression of pleas
ure at meeting old friends in his home
evn and a remark that looking into
: .any cf their faces reminded him
that "Time Marches On," Mr. Hallas
devoted most of his fifteen minute
talk to paying tribute to the stamina
ot American businessmen, farmers
pointed to foreign nations where the
i people could not stand it like Ameri-
Onawa. Iowa, that sold in the early
twenties for $3C,Ooo, was later sold
for flS.Ol'O, came back to the mort
gagor for around ?l0.t(00 and was
sold a third time for that amount,
carrying back $0,000 on mortgage
while now it is back in their hands
for the $G0u one-sixth of what it
was worth before depression. Hallas
re- said the same devaluation had come
j in stocks and bonds, city real estate
jand all sorts of business enterprise.
He paid the Plattsmouth city gov
ernment a fine compliment on bond
indebtedness reductions made during
the past six to eight depression years
when, he said, many towns have not

The break occurred shortly before ,

The break is thought to have been
caused iii thawing out a sec tion of
the pipe by alcohol.
To get the flames extinguished as
jiiiekly as possible, the control valve

at both these points. In spite of this j

of pipe held up until the early hour j
