FLANS TO BEGIN REBUILDING SOON Jess F. Warga to Replace Burned Structure as Soon as Adjustment of Insurance Can Be Made. 'The replacing of the burned build ing which was owned by Jess F. War ga will be undertaken in all prob ability in a very short time as Mr. Warga is anxious to have the burned wreckage removed and a new struc ture erected thereon which will ful fill the needs of his business in the future. The matter of getting the plans arranged has been somewhat delayed owing to the settlement of tfee in surance claims and the matter it is hoped will be definitely settled in a short time and then enable Mr. War ga to go ahead with the work. It is expected to have a modern two story structure erected on the site of the building that was burned early Sunday morning, and which will be as near fire proof as possible to make It. Mr. Warga and Mr. Sattler. the occupants of the burned store build ing are busily engaged in cleaning up the ruins and sorting out what is possible to save of the stock of goods that they carried but the greater part of the stocks were losses and what has been salvaged is more or less affected by the fire and water so that their loss will be quite heavy even under the best of circumstanc es. The stock of Mr. "Warga has been placed in one of the store rooms of the Hotel Wagner block while Mr. Sattler has his stock of caskets that were saved from the fire in the old McDaniel building at the corner of 4th and Main streets and they will remain in these locations until it i3 possible to get the new store read for occupation which will probably require several monfhs at least. HOUSEHOLD GOODS FOR SALE I will remove from Plattsmouth, and am offering my household goods for sale, consisting of stoves, tables, cupboards, beds, and furniture of all kinds, on north Eighth street.

From Thursday's Dally. This morning the services of Jul ius A Pitz of this city ami William Atchison of Elm wood as members of the board of county commissioners terminated and these gentlemen will enjoy a well deserved rest from their long labors in the interests of the people of the county. Mr. Pitz in particular will appre ciate the privilege of being once more a private citizen as he has oc cupied this office of commissioner for the past eight years and it has been during years when it was necessary to bring out many programs of pro gressive measures especially in re garding the road work of the county that involved many radical changes from the methods of years gone by and which is destined to give the county in time a great system of highways. Mr. Pitz was first elected county commissioner in the fall of 1912 and has served continuously since that time and was re-elected to the office in and in completing eight years of hard service. Mr. Atchison has been an occu pant of the office of the commissioner for the past year, having been ap pointed to that office at the time of the resignation of Henry Miller ot Alvo, and has during the months cf his service been a very faithful public servant and one devoted to the best interests of the people of the coun ty and it is with regret that his as sociates part with him although his successor. F. H. Gorder of Weeping Water, brings to the county boa id an experience in practical business j life that will be found a great asset in handling the countv affairs. ( The office of county commissioner is one of the most important in the county and one that is hard to till. and the county has been fortunate in having the services j such high class men as tney nave nau ana in j Anna Heafev and is popular among a the excellent gentlemen who willihost of fr;ends in this community, constitute the coming board of com- she is a graduate of St. Bernard's mg board or commissi on rs. it is an office whose chief return to the oc - cupant is criticism and those who fill the office -are certanly entitled to receive words of commendation for the faithful service rendered.

Merrick, state divisional engineer and F. M. Stuart, assistant engineer, were in the city talking over the good roads question w'ith the board of county commis sioners and arranging to prepare the budget for the state aid highway work in the county for the coming year and to prepare the estimate to be uc-ted upon by the state engineer and the department of public works in order thai the work for the year can bo handled in a systematic man ner. The representatives of the state de partment and the county board spent some time in the discussion of a res olution covering work on twenty miles of the "O" street road from I'nion west to Elm wood and which had been prepared for the approval of the board of commissioners, re questing that a portion of the funds available be used on this project. The county board was greatly in terested in the matter and from the expressions made by the members were anxious to see that justice in the good roads proposition was done to every section of the county, in cluding the full completion of the road from Murray west through the center of the county as well as open ing up the road from Louisville to riattsmouth and placing it in the line of road work for the year to make it a permanent maintained highway that would rank with the other roads of the county. The resolution which had been prepared was laid over until the next session of the board of commission ers on January 11th in order that they might have more time for its consideration and the general desire seemed to be to include in the reso lution application for the Louisville road as well as that of the "O" street highway. Ilei!C;L, precincts is not possessed of as good a system of maintained highways as is the southern portion of the coun ty was pointed out, travelers thru that section being able to reach points by either the Murray-Mur- dock road or that of the "O" street road, which is generalH kept up in the best shape possible. The matter is one of importance and the commissioners will exercise their best judgment to see that all sections of the county are given as much advantage as possible of the provisions of the state aid road laws , , , - , . - and the highwav svsteni of the coun- ...
