The Hoard of Trade met Friday night at the office of County Judge Russell. Presi dent J. V. Veckbach in the chair. On account of the Secretary being absent, the roll call was emitted. Fred Herr mann actel as temporary Secretary. There was a good attendance, and ev ery one manifested a deep interest in the future -welfare of the city. Among reports of officers Treasurer 0 order made his report, which was refer red to the Board of Directors. President Weokbach gave a report for the year, whic h was ordered placed on the minu tes and was as follows: (Jknti.kmkn ok the lioAitD of Trade: In reviewing the history of the financial growth and general prosperity of l'latts mouth for the year 1887, I take pleasure in stating to you, that in no previous year of the history of our city has theie been more marked, substantial and healthy improvement. Unlike many ci- tics of the west, where advancement and material deyelopment are brought by a sporadic boom, only to be smothered by ji general shrinkage in local values and a consequent collapse, Phittsmonth's ad vancement is based on a permanent foun dation, fostered and sustainad as it is by the co-eperation of the public spirit of her citizens. Real estate has advanced, at the least calculation, twenty-five per cent since the beginning of the year just closed, and I know before the close of lsys it will add at least another 35 per cent in value. The industries already inaugurated are known to have obtained a success that give a fair renumeration to those whose capital is thus employed, and the outlook for the present year encourages the belief that other local indust ries will be started. Among the local improvements I will mention the water works, which have about five miles of mains and have al ready supplied a large number of private parties with water for home consumption, arc constantly extending the facilities to others. This system of waterworks al ready adds to our to ourlocul wealth not less than $ 100,000. This system of wa ter works, while placing water within easy reach of those of our citizens who occupy the most elevated portions of our city, at much less cost than the sinking of wells, has also resulted in reducing the rates of insurance, in some instances reducing the rates one-half. STREET RAILWAY. Early in the year 1887 the city gener ously and with 'commendable public spir it, voted the right of way to the Platts mouth Street Railway Company, and since about the middle of September of the same year this company has succeeded in having constructed and now has in operation the street railway line from the cerner of Main and Third streets out through the city and into the addition to the city most generally known as the liMercer aidHir;n' comprising a total length of street railway cf two miles, which has been constructed within the short period of obout three months. This enterprise, while only in its infancy, it is confidently believed will become a paying institution, returning to its pro jectors a fair income upon the in vestment. It is generally understood to be the in tention of the company to extend its lines to the machine shops, and also its lines out te Chicago St venue during the coming season. PAVINU ASJJ SKWERAGE. The question of paving one i;-ces and building severage has within thelastyear engrossed much of the attention of our citizens and especially of the city coun cil. Already definite action has been ta ken, and sewerage bonds in the sum of $30,000, and paving bonds to the amount of $10,000, have been authorized. The contract for building sewerage has al ready been let and I am iirpijy of the be lief that both paving and building sew erage will be fully inaugurated as soon as spring opens. That the best interests of the city demands the paving of at least a portion of Main street is conceded on all hands, and the building of suitable sewerage is likewise conceded to be for the best interests of the city. KAILltOAO SHOPS. It is well known to every person con versant with the matter, that the railroad shops at Plattsmouth constitute one of the city's greatest industries. The em ployes of these shops are a large portion of our population, and every month dis tribute of their earnings from the railroad company from twenty to thirty thousand dollars. This of itself is an item of no small importance to the business men of the city, and whatever tends to increase the working force in the shops likewise augments the revenue of our business men. For the coining year indications point to a large increase In the working force, aud the consequent incrcao of the manufacturing of railroad supplies aud the building of other machine shops and round houses. THE CITY FINANCE?. In regard to the financial condition of the city, so far as I am able to gather cor rect data, I will Jsay that there are no judgments against the city but can be paid from the surplus in the busjaeis tux fund, and thus without a levy as lias been the custom heretofore. The bonded ndebtedness of the city is as follows: Hich School bond S53,no, C i per cent interest. Kart -n " $2l.0otft per cent interest. B. & M. $25,000, 6 per cent interest. Requiring an aggregate of annual inter est in the sum of f 5,599. On our present valuation, $1)00,000, it would require a levy of a little less than 7 mills to raise a sum sufficient to dis charge the interest on the bonded in debtedness. To this may be addad sewcrag- $ 30,- 000, bearing 0 per cent interest; paving bonds. 1 0,000, bearing G per cent inter est, making a total of $2,400 interest on these two items, and making a total bonded debt of $139,000, upon which we pay an ayerage rate of interest of 5.7 per cent, making a total annual interest of 17.923, which woull require a leyy qt about 6 mills on the dollar. The levy ..f-iiWjtast year of 35 mills included THE bAlLVjlKliALiJt H A'iT3a.H, m, some $10,000 for improvement, viz: $4,500 for streets, grading and bridging; $1,900 for grading; $2,000 for Rose water and Christie and $800 for fire department. In conclusion I congratulate the people of Plattsmouth oyer the improvements and material developments of our city during the past year, and feel sanguine that another year, the year 18M8, will largely add to our city both in popula tion and in augmenting the wcaltii of our city.

Sig The Alumni Banquet- On Saturday evening, at the Covcrdale house, the members of the Alumni Asso ciation of the Plattsmouth high scuoo welcomed the new graduates with i sumptuous and artistic banquet that was one of the pleasantest and most recherche events of the season. Mine host, Cover dale, outdid himself, and at about ten o'clock, the alumni, the graduates, and Professors Drummoud and Chatburn, sat clown to as elegant and palatable a repast as was ever placed upon a Plattsmouth board. After doing ample justice to the good things of this life, Mr. Robert Liv ingston, president of the association, wel corned the guests in a neat speech, to which Mr. Adams promptly and aptly re plied. Mr. Guy Liyingston then respond to the toast, "Our Association," in a very happy manner, and, in due course, Miss Grace Wiles made a few very appropriate remarks in response to the toast, "Our School Days." "The Future" was dis cussed in a most happy vein by Miss Sher man, in a speech replete with apt quota tions. Prof. Drummoud was then called upon, by the president, to respond to the toast, "Our Alma Mater," which he did in his own inimitable way, culivening his remarks with his usual good humor. It was late when the guests separated to repair to their respective homes, pronounc ing this, their first banquet, a most cn joyable affair, and feeling that it was a success par excellence. The first cja.ss was organized by Prof. Drummoud in 1S82, and received their diplomas in the spring of that year; though, owing to an outbreak of small pox in our midst, no commencement ex ercises were held. Since that time a class has graduated every year, and the alumni now number thirty-three. Some time in 'SC an effort was made to establish an. alumni association, aud this was finally consummated, with the result as given above. Try O. P. Smith & Co's K. of P.
