There is one thing that the city
should do in their street work, and
that is the narrowing of the
streets and the installing of the
combined concrete curbing and
guttering, which will add ma
terially iii cutting down the ex
pense of keeping the streets in
repair. The streets with their
present width are altogether too
wide to keep in proper shape,
when if a strip eight or ten feet
wide was left between the curb
line and the sidewalk it would
take away that much of the street
that would not have to be worked
and make the streets present a
very handsome appearance. This
plan has been adopted in a great
many of the towns the size of
Plattsmouth and has almost al
ways proven the most successful,
as well as the neatest method of
arranging the sidewalks and
streets. The combined curb and
gutter will furnish a means for
the surplus water to run on each
side of the street and will, if the
street is properly graded up in
the center, do away with the
trouble usually experienced with
the washing of large holes in the
streets.
Yesterday afternoon the ladies

some other important matters,
this business session was ad-
l.lourned and the ladies wluled
away tin- remainder of the after
noon iu very industriously plying
the needle and making manv
pretlj things, which will be of
fered for sale at the Christmas
shop. The hostess served an ele
gant three-course luncheon, and
which was one the large number
in attendance could not help but
do ample justice. Whenever in

a business session, al which was

with other organizations for the
securing of Ihe passage of laws
for the improvement and better
ment of the roads throughout the
state were completed. It was de
cided by the association that its

terested in the good roads move
ment will send representatives to

A. G. HatchcMer of New York
City, a , representative of the

who was scheduled for an address

voted his time to an exposition of
methods whereby his home state
had solved the good roads prob
lem. He declared that two $50,
000,000 appropriations have been
made in the state for state high
way building, these including
roads between county seats of all
the counties of the state. He de
clared that the problem of main
tenance, which was the first nut
to crack after the roads had been
built, was worked out by the auto
mobilists who allowed substantial
registration fees to be collected
upon their cars, these bringing in
a total or $1,000,000 a year, or
almost $10 per car. He advocated
stale and county highway com
missions which would work in
harmony and which would be
given aid in the form of taxes.
Money spent in this direction, he
said, would be amply repaid in
time, and would later be a source
of gratification to Ihe people of
this state. '
The association, at their inorn
yig session, discussed the pro
posed state highway commission,
which Ihe good roads boosters
will urge upon Ihe next session of
the legislature. This commission
is to consist of the governor, land
commissioner ami attorney gen
eral, and this body shall appoint
three deputy highway commis
sioners to be at the head of the
highways of the state. These
officials are to serve without
compensation and are to aid all
road overseers and supervisors in
planning and maintaining the
roads over I he state.
The l'laltsinouth good roads
boosters should get busy and send
representatives lo this meeting,
as this city is located on one of
the great automobile routes of
the country, and have the shortest
and most beautiful scenic route
between Kansas Cily and the
south and Omaha, where Ihe auto
mobile road lo Denver starts.
