OUR GIIY DADS
ENJOY A PLEAS
ANT SESSION
A Brief Session, but Much Important
Business Transacted and AH in
Peace and Harmony.
From Tuesday s uai':v.
'Ine city council last evening at
their regular session took up a great
many matters of interest and import
ance to the city and disposed of them
in a rapid and business-like order
that made the meetings one of short
duration. All the members were
present when Mayor Richey called the
assembly to order, and at once they
proceeded to get busy in delving into
the business awaiting their attention.
Petitions were presented from Mrs.
Eliza F. Beeson and Rebecca P. Ken
nedy asking for some grading by the
city for permanent walks, which was
t rdered granted and the work to be
looked after as soon as possible.
A petition was received from
George E. Perry and eleven other
residents on Lincoln avenue asking
lhat the water mains be extended on
that thoroughfare to furnL.h water
for domestic use, as well as fire pro
tection, and on motion the matter was
icferred to the fire and water com
mittee to investigate and report at
the next meeting of the council.
The Nebraska Lighting company,
through R. C. Wood, the local man
ager, presented a communication to
the council stating a proposition on
the street lighting problem that ha
been hanging fire for several month
between the city and the company
and stated that his company would
furnish to the city not less than 100
forty-candle power lamps to burn
from dark to midnight at the rate o
H2 a year per lamp. Not less than
twenty-one GO-eandle power lamps a
the rate of $10 per annum, to burn
from dark until daylight. Not le
than four 1.2t)0-ean(he power arc
lamps to burn from dark until day
light, at a cost of $8-1 per lamp. After
the reading of the communication it
was decided to place it on file.
Councilman Buttery of the Seconc
ward called attention to the reed o
enforcing the automobile ordinance
and the fact that cars frequently ap
pear without the numbers that are
required by law, and also the habit of
many in speeding beyond the limit
et by the law, and Mr. Buttery
thoi'ght that some action should be
taken to ee that the ordinance was
enforced.
Councilman Lusninsky moved that
the police committee or the mayor be
empowered to employ a suitable per
son with a motorcycle to keep track
of the speeders and check their
activities and violation of the city
ordinances, and this was adopte
without a dissenting voice and the
speeders will be soon under the super
vision of a motor policeman.
One of the chief acts of the counci
that is calculated to improve the city
was that of the final passage of a
resolution to create paving district
No. '.) to cover the paving of the alley
in blocks No. 27, 28 and 29, on the
north side of Main street, and marks
the final consummation of an agita
tion that has been conducted for the
past two years by the property own
ers and citizens. The matter was
brought up by Councilman Patterson
of the First ward, who brought to the
attention of the council the new peti
tion with all the names corrected and
in proper form, and the city attorney
will draw up the necessary ordinance
to cover the work.
The streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee was authorized to secure an
estimate on the cost of a load of til
ing for use in the city work and to
purchase same if the prices are found
to be right.
Councilman Bestor called the atten
tion of his associates to the frequent
hubit of digging up the paved streets,
and moved that the city clerk be
notified to inform the water and light
companies to comply with the law in
regard to removing the paving and
peeing that it was replaced in proper
ihape afterwards, and not allowed to
remain torn up for an extended
period.
Councilman Mauzy suggested that
the city indulge in a little house
cleaning and that the chief of police
secure someone to have the city hall
building scrubbed and the windows
cleaned in order that it might be a fit
place in which to allow the council to
meet, as it had not been looked after
for several months and consequently
is badly in need of cleaning.
The finance committee was also
authorized to proceed with the mak
ing of the estimate for the running
of the city during the coming: yar
and present same at the next meeting
of the council.
The finance committee of the coun
cil reported the following claims as
being correct and the amounts were

and along established lines of grade.
The license committee of the coun
cil reported on the license of Martin
T. Beyer to operate a saloon in the

FINE NEHAWKA
AUDITORIUM DED
ICATED MONDAY
A Movement to Energy and Enter
prise That Any Community in Ne
braska Should Feel Proud Of.
From Tuesday's Pally,
Yesterday at Nehawka saw the con
summation of one of the greatest pub
lie enterprises that that thriving lit
tie city has ever undertaken, and that
was the dedication of the new public
auditorium which the public-spirited
citizens of that community have, by
their efforts, made possible. The
enterprise is one that is worthy of
many towns far larger than our enter
prising little neighbor, and marks the
expenditure of some $15,000 in good
cold cash, and all subscribed by those
who felt an interest in that com
munity.
The dedicatory ceremonies yester
day were attended by a very large
crowd that filled the town from near
the noon hour until after 9 o'clock in
the evening. The exercises in the aft
ernoon at the auditorium were open
ed by the pronouncing of the in
vocation by Rev. Illsley and was fol
lowed by a number of short addresses
by a number of those who have been
interest in bringing this enterprise to
Nehawka, including A. F. Sturm, M
G. Kime, ex-Congressman Pollard
Rev. J. F. Hedges and John I. Long
all of whom expressed the deep feel
ing of pleasure that the fruits of the
efforts of the good people of Nehawka
and vicinity had been so productive of
such splendid results. The dedicatory
address wns a most pleading and
scholarly offering from Chancellor
Avery of the University of Nebraska
and produced a profound impression
upon his hearers.
The Booster boys and girls closed
the afternoon's exercires with th'
singing of "The Star Spangled Ban
r.er." and was followed bv a splendid
series of moving pictures, "The Man
of the Hour."
in tne evening a sumptuous supper
was served in the banquet room of
the building, and this occasion was
very largely attended and was follow
ed by moving pictures for several
hours.
In speaking of the auditorium and
its history the Nehawka News has the
following interesting article:
Just about a year ago J. S. Rough
came to town one afternoon with his
head filled with plans for an
auditorium for Nehawka. He talke
with various business men of the
town, and at first did not receive much
encouragement. His next trip in
rew days r.e got i rar.ic fcneldon in
terested. Frank rolled his cigar a few
time3 and started out with Stewart.
They got Jim Palmer, Andy Sturm,
Dave West and a few more boosters
started and in about forty-eight hours
the thing was under headway.
A public meeting was called, and
a very gratifying fact was uncovered
the country people were as en
thusiastic as those living in town, and
subscribed as liberally. A stock com
pany capitalized at $15,000 was form
ed and the following officers were
elected as directors: Frank P. Shel
don, J. S. Rough, B. Wulf, D. C.
West and Eugene Nutzman.
A soliciting committee composed of
J. S. Rough and J. M. Palmer was
chosen to raise the funds; and let us
digress loud enough right here to say
that no happier selection was ever
made under any circumstances. The
boys got busy and things began to
happen. Everywhere they went they
were met with enthusiasm. The com
munity took fire and results began to
show. The farmers around here who
had long realized the need of such a
building subscribed liberally. As an
instance of how the patriotic feeling
reached out we might mention the
$500 subscription of Mrs. Haldeman
of Plattsmouth, who as Mrs. A. P.
Weston spent many happy years in
Nehawka.
Ground was broken for the build
ing in August, the contract calling for
its completion January 1st of this
year, but delay in getting the steel
and bad weather during the construc
tion period held thincrs back. The
bunch of boosters who had charge,
however, never lost their courage, and
although they found early in the
game that the building like every
other building that was ever con
structed was going to cost more
than they had bargained for, they
hung to it until it was finished.
The building is 40x80 feet, base
ment, auditorium on the first floor
and the entire upper floor fitted for
the convenience of the various secret
oicers that will make their home
there. The basement contains f.he
boiler and furnace closets and bath
and shower bath. In the southeast
corner an up-to-date barber shop has
been fitted up and will be occupied by
Ballentine & .Lemon.
The auditorium floor contains the
stairway and ticket office on one side
of the entrance, while on the other
side is a spacious cloak loom for the
use of the ladies. The main floor is
forty feet square and there is also
spacious balcony in the back end tha
will seat a hundred people. The stage
is large and built for convenience;
having stairs leading down to a coupl
of dressing rooms in the basement
The top floor has a large lodge room
33x48, ante rooms, closet, kitchen
and a banquet room 20x20.
The building will be heated
throughout with steam, also there is a
pressure tank in the basement hold
ing 1,000 gallons that will furnish
water throughout. A gas H.ie hea
furnisnes hot -.valor lor tne summe
months. The budding is wired for
electricity, and this work, with the
electric fixtures, eo.-t something lik
a thousand do!1, i.s.
A I! in all vo doubt it a town o
anything like the size of Nehawka
anywhere in the state cnu noast as
modern, up-to-date and convenient
luilding as this. There may be things
this community lacks, but when the
get together, and they usually do, to
put across a project, that particular
project goes across. Who knows but
that it is the living over again of the
lives of those old New England an
cestors who hewed from the bleak
Vermont hills an heritage that is liv
ing on in the splendid achievements
of their sons and daughters here?
