City Council
Holds Its Regular
Meet Last Night
Will Not Push Steps to Tear Down
Perkins House Recreation Head
Would Create Skating Pond.
The city council lacl evening held
their closing session for 1938 in the
semi-arctic atmosphere of the city
hall and proceeded rapidly to the
handling of the routine matters that
demanded their attention.
A communication was received
from the L. W. Egenberger Agency,
official handlers of the city rental
property, the report showed that
$227 had been collected and $64.83
used in repairs and the balance
$162.17 turned over to the city
treasury.
The League of Nebraska Munici
palities notified the city of the an
nual dues and on motion the sum of
$20 was approved for membership
in this organization.
The League of Nebraska Munici
palities also had a lengthy communi
cation regarding the plan proposed
for the taxing of salaries of muni
cipal officers and employees under
the income tax and also the taxing
of municipal and state bonds, now
exempt. The proposed income tax
provision would cover all salaries
from 1026 to the present time. After
some discussion of the matter it was
decided to have the city attorney
write the congressmen and senators
to oppose the bill as it would have a
very bad effect on the market for
municipal securities.
Police Judge C. L. Graves report
ed that for the week of December
15th there had been three arrests
and these prisoners had been ' sen
tenced to work on the streets.
Councilman Webb of the tax and
property committee, reported that
there had been much sentiment ex
pressed against tearing down of the
Perkins House building and accord
ingly it would be left intact.
Chairman Tippens of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee, report
ed that the street work was now well
caught up and ready for winter.
Mayor Lushinsky in discussing re
moval of dirt from the new Chicago
avenue tewer job, stated that several
private parties wanted dirt but that
they would have to pay the cost of
loading and hauling the same from
the avenue.
Chairman Schutz of the fire and
water committee, reported that he
had ordered the securing of chains
for the new fire truck so that they
could use the truck on the hills in
the snowy and icy weather that

Mayor Lushinsky stated that Elmer
Sundstrom, recreational director, had
asked permission to use Athletic park
as a skating pond, proposing to have
it flooded and placed in shape for
skating use for the young people of
the community. Many of the coun-
cilmen pointed cut that the work
would require rez.1 cold weather and
also that it would be necessary to see
the water corporation for use of the
water. It was voted to allow the re
quest of Mr. Sundstrom as far as the
city was :oncerned, he to take the
matter up with the park board.
Councilman Webb stated that one
of the residents of the city had sug
gested in the event the Perkins
House was torn down that a city
swimming pool be created there on
the site.
I Councilman Vroman asked that
ja probe be made of why the radiators
on the second floor of the council
chamber failed to function and see
why the radiators did not carry the
necessary hot water to heat the coun
cil chamber.
It was voted to have someone
hired to go around and check the
electrolier globes to see that they
were all securely fastened as two
had been blown off in the high wind
of Msnday.
The members indulged in a short
discussion of the matter of the sale
of the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power
Co. to the hydro interests bf the
state, but there was nothing that
could be done tX this time to more
adequately protect the city's inter
ests.
Mayor Lushinsky presented the
name of Ed J. Meisinger as a mem
ber of the city cemetery commission
to replace Rev. G. A. Pahl, removed
from the city. Mr. Meisinger was
confirmed by the unanimous vote of
the council.
... The council had a very lengthy
discussion of the claim of the Turk
Summerville Insurance Co., over the
unpaid compensation which covered
firemen in the service of the city.
Mr. Summerville was present to dis
cuss the matter but no agreement
was reached and the matter will
again be taken up with the company
to look to a settlement of the claim.
The following bills were ordered
paid by the council:

The Christmas day of 1938 in this
city found ideal conditions in
weather and a two day holiday made
possible a great many home gather
ings, large numbers coming here to
join their relatives while many of
the local people took advantage of
the occasion to visit with their rel
atives and friends at distant points.
The festivities opened Saturday
evening with the Sunday school pro
grams in many of the churches, the
Methodist, Presbyterian and Chris
tian churches all having excellent
programs arranged and participated
in by the young people of the school
and church. There were several
Christmas playlets given by the
pupils of the Sunday school as a
part of the evening program. In each
case the youngsters had the pleasure
of a visit from Santa Claus at an
appropriate hour in the evening.
The religious services at the local
churches opened with the Saturday
night observances at the St. Luke's
Episcopal church at 9:15 and at the
midnight masses held at the St.

were present to attend the mass and
to receive communion. The sermons

Christmas season and the birth of
'he Savior.
During Christmas day there were
-nany beautiful and impressive ser
vices held at the Christian, Presby
terian, St. Paul's Evangelical and
Methodist churches where the Christ
mas message was presented in the
-eimons and the musical program
orovided by the choirs. At the Meth
-dist church a new plan was used at
the morning service in which the
Sunday school hour was absorbed in
to the regular church service and
which permitted the services to be
closed at 11 o'clock and giving ample
time for all to reach their home in
time to prepare for the Christmas
dinner festivities without haste.

young people of the community at
an early hour Sunday, they visiting
