The City Dads Met Last Night and
Heard the Final Estimates.
An interesting council wee-ting was
held last night, and much business trans
acted by the city futliers. Lust night be
ing the night on which the final estimates
on the sewerage and paying work were
presented, a much longer term than usual
was held, and business was not completed
until aster 11 o'clock.
There were present, the mayor, clerk,
and Messrs. Weckbach, Murphy, Dutton,
McCullen, Salisbury, Shipmau, Jones aud
Connor.
Mr. II. Bocck's claim for damages to
his building against Haubina & Shelton,
brought about by the sewer work at the
rear of his building, was referred to the
committee on claims.
Tlie report of the special committee
appointed on the compromise of the B.
fc M. R. 11. in regard to the exchange of
Second street between Main and Granite
street, to be used for yard purposes, . for
the laud owned by the company between
Main and Granite, now used as an alley
lying about one-half of a block West of
Second Street, was heard. The company
has agreed to fill up the creek over
which the alley passes and to leave it in
a passable condition for the city's use.
The council accepted the report.
Mr. Sherman, the councillor at large,
was present, and offered a suggestion.
stating that according to the contract
drawn up, the council would be do
nating that part of Pearl street, between
Second and the proposed street, and con
siderable discussion followed in the
matter.
The city marshal was instructed by the
council to have all loads such as hay,
wood etc., moved from Main street to
die side streets.
i lie loiiowing resolutions oirerea iy
Mr. Murphy and the proposition of Mr.
Rilev, following, were aceepted.
Whereas, From the special reports of
the city engineer and board of public
works there are apparent defects in the
workmanship and some of the material
entering into the work of the paving and
curbing Main street. Therefore be it
Resolced, The honorable board of
publie works be instructed to notify
Contractor J. E. Riley to remedy said
defects as soon as practicable, whenever
the condition of the weather permits, and
be it further
Jl(soIceiL In case the said contractor
fails to comply with the said request at
the time mentioned that the board of
publie works be instructed to make the
s lid repairs and charge same to said con
tractor, taking the expense thereof from
the reserve fund held back upon the con
tract for the said work of paving and
curbing.
Accepted.
To the Hon. Mayor and city ccuncil of
Platt.-mouth, eb:
I have read the resolution respecting
defects in the work of paving and curb-
ins Main street and giving instructions
to th-j honorable board of public works
in ca?3 I fail to make repairs and remedy
anv defects that may appear thereto, and
and I hereby consent to the propositions
thereof and agree to remedy the said de
fects to the satisfaction of the tity engi-
necr. the board of public works, and
al-o Che Hon. Mayor and city council.
Yours respectfully,
J, E. Rn.Er,
To the honorable board of public
works Plattsmouth, 2e., gentlemen
I hereby submit final estimate of the
curbi.ig and paving of Main street under
the ontract with J. E. Kuey, contractor.
This work has defects both in irregularity
of t!i surface and in the character of the
sand used. The sand for filling the upper
joints should be a coarse bank sand and
should not only be thoroughly raked over
the surface, but also rammed into every
crevue between the joints to insure firm
uess. The blocks in many places, par
ticularly along the gutter adjoining the
curbs, are set roughly and 'will need
to bo readjusted and rammed into place.
Some of the curbing will also need to be
rcline I to complete a good job. This
work is faulty more or less owing to poor
workmen employed and the carelessness
of the foreman. The lateness of the sea
son renders it impossible to correct these
defects at this time and secure good re
suits. The cost of readjustment and
additional course sand will be from $700
to $1,900. As the 10 per cent reserve
embraces nearly $3,700 it will be safe to
acc pt the work now conditionally that
the contractor signs an agreement to cor
rect the defects as early as practicable,
and in default of his so doing, that, that
the board of public works be authorized
to do bo at his expense and the cost of
such work and materialsbe deducted
from the reserve held under the present
contract. 1 ours respectfully.

City Engineer.

To the Stockholders of the Platts-
mouth Canning Company:
Plattsmocth, Neb., 1888.
You are hereby notified that at a meet
ing of the Board of Directors of the
Plattsmouth Canning Company, held on
the 9th day of November, 1888, the fol
lowing resolution was introduced and
unanimously adopted: t
" Whereas, The indebtedness of the
Plattsmouth Canning Company is more
than the present means and resources of
the company can discharge and pay off,
and
Whereas, Financial embarrassment
will probably result to the company from
this indebtedness unless means are pro
vided to meet and discharge the same,
and it is necessary to make an assessment
on the capital stock to raise the means to
meet and discharge the said indebtedness,
therefore it is
liesolued. That iUs by-laws of this
company be so amended and altered as
to authorize an assessment of 25 per cent
of the capital stock for the purpose
aforesaid.
And a meeting ot tne stockholders is
called for December, 27th at 7:30 p. m.,
on said day at the office of A. N. Sulli
van, in the city of Plattsmouth, Cass Co.,
Neb., for the adoption or rejection of
said proposed amendment.
