Kap went the gavel of the Mayor
and before the legislators had got
ten to their seats the roll was being
called at the meeting of the city
days last night. The roll call show
ed all present hut the junior alder
man from the Fifth, Mr. Beeson. A
pretty high wind from the north
prevented his getting in.
There being no communications or
petitions, no reports from Finance
committee, Chief of Police, Treasur
er or Ioard of. Health it looked as
though the meeting would be rath
er devoid of interest but such was
not to be the case. When the call
was made for a report from the Chief
of the Fire Department, he pointed
out to the council some leaky hose,
people u;yng the firemen's rain coats,
a bad roof on the West Main street
hose house and the need of a light.
The Police Judge and Claims com
mittee had nothing to report. Re

Then came the report of the suec-
ial committee annointed for the nnr-
pose of looking into the coal prices,
and their findings, which are em
bodied in the following:
Plattsmouth, Neb., Oct. 22, '17.
To the Honorable Mayor and City

purpose of purchasing a car of coal,

same be o!d to consumers for cash;
that no order for coal be received
until the cash is on deposit with the
city authorities covering each pur
chase by the consumer. And that a
party appointed by the Mayor to
distribute said coal, b required to

ing into his hands.
Respectfully submitted,
C. A. JOHNSON",
M. MAUZY,
Special Committee.
A general discussion then follow
ed, regarding the matter of the prop
osition of handling coal by the city,
which resulted in a motion by Lu
chinsky that the committee be em
powered to purchase two cars or
more of coal which should be sold
to the poor of the city at cost, with
barely enough advance to pay all
expenses. Mayor Sattler stated that
he and Councilman Uestor had been
at Omaha and interviewed J. L. Ken
nedy, coal administrator for the
state of Nebraska. They had seen
the assistant buyer of Omaha, and
he stated that the Illinois block
coal had cost them ?4.65 laid down
on the track at Omaha and the Mis
souri coal had cost $4.55, and that
to date they had, used twenty car
loads or approximately 600 tons. The
city is charging $1.35 per ton for
handling the coal, which is meant to
cover shrinkage, drayage and all ex
penses incurred in getting it into
the hands of the consumers. At this
rate, the proposition has been net
ting the city a little profit, but a lit
Ue latpr when the weatner is worse,
and with a trifle more shrinkage, it
is not expected "that the sale will
more than break even. Mr. Kennedy
stated that he would enforce gov
ernment regulations and that there
will be a committee appointed in each
county to look after matters in that
county. Johnson said the City ex
pects something to be done, and we
(the council) will have to look out
for tne interest of. the. people
The
dealers, for they'appeared to rather
have the dealers handle the coal and
make a reasonable profit than to
take it up themselves, but thought
is selling here and elsewhere is al-
together too much and is allowing
I fnr rrmre than a reasonable nrofit
v hen the caning or the roll on the
(motion was ordered, Mr. Patterson
Jasked that the vote be delayed un-
til tne coal dealers' side could be
presented by W. A. Robertson, who
ha1 asked during the early evening
for an opportunity to speak on the
Proposition
Mr. Robertson said that he did not
think the city should engage in the
handling of coal, as, in his opinion
it was not giving the dealers a fair
deal, as they pay an occupation tax
and have other expenses incident to
J the running of their business, and
Inow that the time has come when
J they can realize a profit they should
be allowed to do so. In response Mr
Luschinsky said it was not the in
dealers from realizing a fair profit:
that he and all the members of the

but that there was a difference be
tween a reasonable profit and an ex
eessive profit and that was the mat
ter the council was then discussing.
The coal question was finally dis-
posed of by the adoption of the re-
port and motion all members vot
ing for same: Beeson absent. The
mayor tnen instructed the city at
Itorney, J. E. Douglass, to draw
nanuie coai inrousn ine special com
Imittee, which is composed of R. F,
Patterson, C. A. Johnson and M
Ifliauzy
Tlie matter of obstructing the
streets with the parking of cars was
precipitated when a motion was pre
sented to have Pearl street cleared
west of the postoffice for a month,
The stopping of cars in front of the
T , . . ,
Jolin Cauer' Sr- residence on Pearl
street was also reported-, and some
one added the street near Bauer's
Garage should be Included in
Seneral clearing; then the street in
front of John Bauer, Jr's. residence,
until it began to look like the police
might be instructed to have the en-
tire town cIeare(l of parked cars. The
motion was finally passed carrying
with It all the additions noted. In it,
TllT, C nm((fil,i
Joh Bauer-. Sr" was Permitted to
marK olt a space in rront or his home
which shall not be used for parking.
Buttery called attention to a bridge
HQ the west pnrt of the city whch
al-juetds repairing, and asked to havo
jihe Streets, Alleys and Bridges com
J wm
mittee get busy with the County
no rvol
a bridge near the home of Mrs.
Kauffman.
Luschinsky called attention to the
matter of the promise of the Nebras
ka Lighting company to furnish ser
vice to the southern portion of the
city, which was made last July and
is as yet unfilled. The lighting com
pany had stated they would use the
material taken from down town at
the time they rebuilt their lines and
construct the necessary lead lines to
the south portion of the city, and
it was the opinion of the council
that this should be done, as the
people have waited long and pati
ently for this service.
In the matter of the blue prints of
the sewer district recently created, it
was reported that there were no bids
on the work, because the prints and
specifications could not be under
stood. Some of the councilmen ex
pressed themselves aB being desirous
of returning the prints and specifi
cations to the engineers to have them
made more lucid. Mayor Sattler
thought it better to have same re
turned to the Park and Improvement
committee, which was so ordered.
Buttery asked to haveport on
cost of elevating the light in the park
from eight to ten feet higher, think
ing that should this be done the
problem of that light might be solv
ed. In the matter of the request for a
side walk on the west side of the old
Chapman property, a motion pro
vailed that notice be given to the
owner, S. L. Tarbox, to build same
within twenty days or the city would
construct it and the cost be taxed up
to the property.
The committee asked for further
tfine to report on the matter of op
ening the alley just south of the
old Chapman property, which was
granted.
There being no further business
to come before the meeting, the
council adjourned.

From Tuesday's Dally.
The Burlington Railroad company
is making inducements which will
make it easy for most of the em
ployees of the company to buy and
pay for Liberty bonds of the second
issue without inconvenience from
nnanciai viewpoint. The company
offers to buy bonds for any of its
employees, giving them the oppor
tunity of paying installments on the
purchase each pay day, charging no
interest and giving the employee
the interest which the bonds accumu
late while being paid for. To those
who already own a bond of the first
issue the company offers to buy bonds
of the second issue and not require
any payments on the second bond un
til the first one shall have been paid
for. The purchaser of the bond not
only draws interest on the first bond
bought, but also on the second one
on which he has not began payment
and is not required to pay the com
pany any interest. In the event of
the employee leaving the service, he
will be refunded the money he has
paid in installments due or he can
Day out the balance and take the
bonds with hini. Following is
bulletin which was posted in
Burlington shops this week:

The Chicago, Burlington & Quin
