BOARL? Of TRAbE.
Mooting of Interest to Platts
mouth Citizons.
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.

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.
