CHAKLKS H. BOEDEKEK, Cashier. Attest: ' W. (J. BOKDEKER, Director O. M. MIX FORD, Director Subscribed and sworn to before rae this 10th d?v .of October. 1939. V.". A.- ROBERTSON, (Seal) Notary Public: (My Commission empires Aug. 2t, 1945) led. to considerable discussion and the unanimous sentiment was that the cost was excessive and not war ranted by the amount of business handled at the scale and from which the city derived little revenue. A year ago the city had the opportunity af placing the handling of the scales In private hands with the revenue to go to the city, but this was rejected and now the scales are condemned by "the state for weighing. It was decided to have the matter of the repair laid over for further investi gation in hope of securing a better price on the repair. The council received a communi cation from the General Baking com pany, in which demand was made tor the return of $30 for a tax paid under protest. Mayor Lushinsky -stated that all of the bread truck cperators had been notified to have occupation tax paid by their com panies. The mayor stated that busi ness houses of the city had agreed not to patronize the companies that had not complied with the occupation tax. Mayor Lushinsky announced the meeting of the League of Nebraska Municipalities would meet on Octo ber 11, 12, 13 at Fremont and asked that as many as possible attend. Councilman Webb of this city will be on the program to talk on tax ation. Chairman Rebal of the judiciary committee also brought up the oc cupation tax against the bread trucks and urged that the amounts be col lected as levied by the ordinance, $30 per truck. The mayor stated that the police would be asked to get in touch with the bread truck oper ators and insist on the collection and lists of those who paid the tax be supplied to the local merchants for their guidance. City Attorney J. II. Davis filed his extended opinion on the matter of the petitions for special bond elec tions, again holding that the peti tions were inadequate. While under an older statute it might be possible to vote on the auditorium bonds, the matter of the Chicago avenue pav ing was wholly out. Chairman Gabelman of the streets, alleys and bridges committee, report ed that the work of repairing the rock wall on Lincoln avenue, was bejng carried on by the city depart ment. There was considerable discussion on the matter of water service to the consumers in the Sou.h Park section of the city, where the past week end there had not been sufficient pres sure for ordinary use of the con sumers. While in the summer sea ion it had been claimed that the lack of pressure was due to the amount used by the Norfolk Packing Co., this plant was not operating on the dates complained of and the supply still inadequate. The situ ation was denounced by Councilman Vroman of the fifth ward and also by Mayor Lushinsky as being a dis tinct hardship on the consumers. The fire and water committee was instructed to make vigorous repre sentations to the Plattsmouth Water Corporation on the inadequate ser vice provided in the south part of the city- One remedy suggested was that of a second tie in on the water mains to come into the territory from the west, relieving the one line in use. A very general discussion was held on the matter of the clerical Highlights and Scores of Saturday's Games PRESENTED BY Ed Thorgersen 5:45 p. m.
