PRESENTED CLAIMS
OF CASS COUNTY
LOOKING AFTER VIOLATORS
Membeis of Board of Equalization.
Crurtv Clerk and Assessor at
Lincoln Yesterday.
From Saturday l hiilly.
The members of the hoard of
county commissioners, acting as a
board of equalization and accompan
ied by County Clerk George it.
Sayles and County Assessor G. L.
Karley, were in Lincoln yesterday
where thty presented tlie claim of
Cass county against further ad
vances in the assessed valuation of
farm land. Tlie increase made by
the local board was exactlv fiftv
pr cent over that of 1916, and then
along comes the Mate board and
hikes it another ten per cent.
There were thirty-five counties
represented at the hearing before the
state board yesterday and while a
few evidenced genuine soreness over
the advance, the majority seemed to
only want fair play. The board took
the various protests under advise
ment and will in a few days an
nounce its decision in the matter.
The present average valuation of
farm lands in Cass county on the
as.-e?or"s books is $150,50 per acre
and the ten per cent increase would
hike it to $1G5.53.
The average increase for the state
at large is t54 per cent on farm
lands while other real estate i in
creased 3s per tent. Personal pro
perty in the Mate is valued 40 per
tent higher.
tfrom Thursday's Dally
K. I. Uuck, justice of the peace of
Weeping Water, was in the city to
day for a few hours, visiting at the
court house. Mr. Ruck has had
more or less trouble in his baliwick
over the practice of the auto drivers
neglecting to have numbers on their
cars and failing to have the license
plaje fixed in their car as required
by law and his protests have been in
vain in checking this practice. Mr.
Uuck has a list of some fourteen cars
that have been running without the
proper license and the owners may
have a serious time in answering
for this violation of the law. The
,1a w is very strict In regard to the vio
lation of this law and especially as
regards the numbers on cars and the
state "smelling" department of the
law enforcement bureau at Lincoln
have had a number of agents out at
different times rounding up those
who have sought o get away with
something by not having their cars
properly numbered. Mr. Buck is not
desirous of making trouble for any
one but is getting tired of the seem
ingly reckless law violation.

From Saturday's Dal) v.
The price of vegetables is really
and truly on the Toboggan and old
man II. C. L. is due for a jolt.
Plattsmouth dealers are offering all
sorts of garden truck at much lower
prices than existed two weeks or
even a week ago.
The most staple is probably pota
toes. At early- digging, they were
selling three to four pounds for u
half a dollar and up until a week
ago retailed at ten cents a pound
and in some instances three pounds
for a quarter. Now the price ranges
around a dollar a peck, or 6 2-3
cents a pound. The spuds are home
grown and great big nes such as
Nebraska is famed for raising.
Tomatoes are another commodity
to come down rapidly. The import
ed ones were on the market a week
ago and still sold for from 15 to 20
cents per pound, but with the advent
of home grown ones, tho market
broke and the selling price today
s six cents a pound with every in
dication that they will go jtill lower.
Home grown water melons have
not readied the market yet. but are
due to arrive in about ten days.
There has been considerable reduc
tion on the .shipped in ones how
ever, and they are now selling from
3 to 5 cents a pound, depending
on the quality and lusciousness of
the fruit.
Good old roasting ear time is at
hand, and that solves the problem
for many a perplexed housewife. Se
lect corn is selling at 20 cents per
dozen ears and within the next week
promises to go considerably lower,
it is said.
Canning peaches are alsc on
hand, and at a price lower than was
anticipated, selling for around $1.75
per crate.' Dealers predict this will
be the bed-rock price. Sugar for
canning is also off in price, best
cane selling for 24 cents and beet
for 22 cents per pound. It is said
lower prices on this staple commo
dity are impossible until the new
crop comes in about October 1st.
The berry supply is about exhaust
ed and only a few blackberries are
no won display. To take their place
wild grapes have begun arriving and
the tame ones will soon follow.
There are plenty of cucumbers
and home grown cabbage and mango
peppers are displayed in most of the
stores.
Apples are scarce and what there
are bring good prices for this time of
the year.
TvTELVE WELL BE LEFT IN TOWN
From Saturday's Dally.
Indications are there will he but
twelve of our worthy male citizens
left In town when the special train
pulls out Monday evening for Oma
ha, laden with visitors to the Ak
Sar-Ben den show. It happens that
Monday Is the scheduled night for
council meeting and upon the mayor,
city clerk and ten councilmen de
volves the task of remaining at
horns. If it were not a meeting at
which 'extraordinary business would
come up, it might be dispensed with,
but bids are due to be opened .,for
paving the cemetery avenues, and so
the councilmen must remain behind
while their friends and neighbors
enjoy the hospitality of the Omaha
boasters.

From Saturday's Dally.
Eddie Haduk of Omaha, state fire
inspector for this district, was in

day inspecjing the basements and
business buildings. Mr. Haduk was
formerly cnonected with the Omaha
fire department for a number of

In conversation with the Journal
representative he stated that many
of the basements are in such condi
tion as to harbor fire danger, while
he found much of the inside electri
cal wiring far from passing Under

Where the conditions were dan
