The streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee, through Mr. Bestor, presented
a statement from William Schmidt
rnann in which he agreed to accept the
paving in the alley in the rear of his

mittee alo presented the plans and
specifications for paving district No.

the car was traveling and that when
moving from the narking that the
autos be turned to the left and run up
to the intersection before being turned
around.
Chairman Buttery of the police
committee also stated that the chief
of police had suggested that a plat
form be placed at each of the intersec
tions so that the automobiles would be
forced to follow their proper course
instead of cutting the corners as many
of them do. This matter will be looked
vp by the committee and the chief to
determine the best method of dealing
with the proposition.

The members of Platte lodge No.

meeting on Tuesday evening in their
lodge rcoms and the event was one of
the most largely attended of any this
season and was an occasion filled with
much interest to the members of the
order. This was the ninety-seventh
anniversary of the founding of the
order and was observed in the most
fitting manner by the Odd Fellows of
this city. After the close of the reg
ular lodge meeting a short social ses

which will make one of the greatest
public improvements that has-been
made! in the city in recent years. It
will give the residents of that section
of the city a fine permanent highway
and one over which a greater part of
the automobile traffic between this
city and Omaha as well as the traf
fic between the business section of
the city and the Missouri Pacific jje
pot. The cost of the , paving will
amount to quite a sum but the advan
tages and improvements to the prop
erty there will more than repay the
outlay, as the paving, combined with
the sewering of the avenue will make
lots now almost valueless some of the
most desirable building sites in the
city, and where a large number of
new homes could be put up and the
lots improved into places of beauty.
Where the sewering has been - com
pleted on the avenue it has made a
vast difference in the property, and
the paving will further enhance the
value of the property along this
street.

and should be able to put. up a good
game. After the season has ad
vanced and the weather conditions be
come more suited to the national pas
time it is expected to have the lead

contest with the Sox, but with the
chilly weather now prevailing it has
a tendency to hold down the attend

are carded , as attractions.
