PROPOSED PLAN
TO OPEN STREET
TAKES NEW FORM
City Planners Meet With Coun
cil and Property Owners for
Discussion of Main Points
in Project.
Members of the City Planning
commission, city council and Douglas
street property owners, discussed the
proposed opening of Douglas street,
.twenty-fourth- street to Twenty-fifth
avenue, at a meeting in the council
chambers rridav morning.
In connection with this project is
the proposed widening of Douglas
street, west of Twentieth street, to an
ell-foot thoroughfare.
J. Lincoln Byrne announced that
Albert Dresher offered to donate a
strip 120 feet long on the north side
of Douglas street, numbered 2212, 4, 6
and o, to promote the eU-foot widen
ing west of Twentieth street. Others
will do likewise.
Means $109,000 Damages.
Appraisers recently reported that
opening of Douglas street to an 80
foot thoroughfare would entail dam
ages in the sum of $109,000, which is
$9,000 more than the council can Ie
gaily approve even upon recom
mendation of the planning commis
sion. To surmount that difficulty the
proposition has been made that prop
erty owners raise $9,000 among them
selves and thus bring the appraise
ment down to. the legal limit.
F. A. Brogan advocated that meth
od. Carl E. Herring, speaking for the
Scottish Rite cathedral and the Ma
sonic Temple association, stated that
his organizations would contribute
liberally to the $9,000 fund. He urged
widening of Douglas street to 80 feet
west of Twentieth street as a pro
gressive and necessary improvement.
Would Insure Development.
"The time is coming when there will
be large buildings at southwest and
' northwest corners of Twenty-fourth
and Douglas streets. There is con
gestion now at Twentieth and Doug-
Alas streets when the Scottish Rite
temple and Omaha club have func
tions at the same time, sam Air.
Herring.-
Corporation Counsel Lambert ex
plained that the $9,000 feature would
have to be a consummated act before
the city could act upon the $100,000
project for the 80-foot opening.
The City Planning board will pre
pare new recommendations on the
matter and new appraisements will be
made. The indications are that the
80-foot project will be favored.
HOOVER PLEADS
FOR INCREASED
FARMPR0DUCTS
"The main thing is to get planting
and breeding on a larger scale than
ever before. And while I know the
feeling of the farmer in regard to
the labor situation, we can find a so
lution to the harvest, even if we have
. to turn our town populations into tha
" fields."
This statement comes from Herbert
Hoover, United States food adminis
trator, to- Gurdon W. Wattles, in a
communication emphasizing the ne
cessity of increased production.
"What we must do," says Mr.
Hoover, 1s to arouse the mind Jo the
national necessity tor proaucuon. ine
particular crop the farmer raises is
of secondary importance to the fed
eral food administration as compared
to production, so long as this crop
yields an increase in animal and hu
man food."
Railroads Resume Custom
Of Delivering Tickets
4 , Passenger officials of the railroads
r entering Omaha have resumed the de
livery of tickets to parties who tele
phone in for them. This custom was
discontinued when the McAdoo order
was issued a couple of weeks ago.
With the delivery of tickets to cus
tomers, so far as handling local busi
ness, the railroads are back where
they were prior to Mr. McAdoo get
ting into position of director general.
The solicitors, both freight and pas
senger, arc back on their jobs and
they are all busy.
Clark's Ouster Suit Against
. "Johnny" Lynch Postponed
Sheriff Clark's ouster suit against
County Commissioner "Johnny".
Lynch, which was scheduled to begin
before Judge Redick, sitting in equity
court, Friday morning, was postponed
on account of the illness of one of the
witnesses. A crowd had assembled
to hear the testimony. The case will
be tried starting February 11, the first
day of the next term of court.
