1 PAGE TWO PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1921 MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES DIS CUSS MATTERS THAT PERTAIN TO GOVERNMENT OF CITIES The session of the Nebraska League of Municipalities at Lincoln this week is one that is filled" with interest to the residents of the cities both large and small of the state' and the prob lems of cities of the class of "Platts mouth are receiving particular at tention from the state gathering. The problems of city government and many and in a great many cases very proplexing and laws-lo make the tasks of the cities easier is one of the things that the state meeting is agitating. Among the mattersthat was discussed was that of having municipal securities such as warrants and bonds made exempt by law from taxation and it was pointed out that this would have a great effect in mak ing the municipal securities a great attraction for the investors of the state and nation and that the citizen ship of a community should be edu cated in the line of investment in lo cal .securities when offered. The tax matter was presented by Commission er Towle of Omaha, who while in favor of the aiding of the securities recognized the fact that a financial autocracy might artee from the fact that tco many tax free securities were placed on the market. The advertising by all municipal ities of any special public improve ment wa's urged by Mr. Towle and he stated that photographs should be made of all the new public improve ments and sent to Lincoln to be per served as evidence of the progress of the state. A matter that is of the greatest interest in this city was that of the traffic regulations as regards fire equipment at the time of fire and the smaller cities that have modern equipment was especially discussed by the members of the league. A number thought that. the fire equip ment was driven at too rapid a rate over the streets both in going and coming from fires but it was' the un animous sentiment that the fire equipment must have the complete right of way over all other traffic in times of emergency and a number of interesting stories of the volunteer firemen were given by the members of the convention who have been in terested in such organizations. Great er precautions In the small town in the inspection of homes and business houses for causes likely to contribute to the starting of fires was taken up and discussed. A greater part of the cities ar?. not doing as Plattsmouth having inspection of the city made by the chief of the fire department and the following of his orders will do away with a great many- fires in the course of the year. The work; in the small town must be largely by the co-operation of the residents of the community and the fire de partment and through this means many heav ylosses are avoided dur ing the year In the way of costly fires. FUNERAL OF HENRY MILLER From Wednesday's Dally. The body of the late Henry Miller arrived last evening on No. 2 from Have-lock, where he passed away Monday, and was taken direct from the Burlington station to the Elks lodge room where it lay in state up to noon today and a large number of the old and intimate friends of the departed gentleman gathered to pay their last tribute to Mr. Miller and to take their last farewell. The funeral services were held at the lodge rooms at 2:30 and quite largely attended by the old friends and neighbors as well as the mem bers of the Elks lodge of which Mr. Miller has been a member since 1913. The services were conducted by Rev. H. CS. McClusky, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and who spoke to the bereaved family and friends words of comfort in their sorrow. The body was conveyed to Oak Hill cemetery, where it was laid to rest beside that of the wife who had pre ceded him in death three years ago. At the grave the officers of the Elks lodge conducted the beautiful ritual services of the order as the body was consigned to the silent tomb. 7zn TWO GOOD GAMES ' IN THE CITY LEAGUE CARD OF THANKS.

Last evening the followers of the basket ball game who braved the cold and disagreeable evening to Journey to the high school "gym" to witness the two games staged in the city league, felt amply repaid in the strenuous exhibition of the art of basket tossing as staged by the lo cal "sharks . The opening game between the Morgan team and the Elks was especially exciting as both teams put forth their best efforts to add a victory to their list and from the start the game was warmly con tested. The final result was in the victory of the sweet shop representa tives and was the second defeat of the season for the Elks, who were defeated last week by the high school reserves and by the victory of the Morgan's the race grows more inten sified, with three of the teams all in the running. In the second game the Eagles suf fered another defeat at the hands of the Reserves and while playing in improved form the lodge team was unable to combat the speed and abil ity of the younger school players and were trimmed by the score of 30 to 15. The games in the city league are very interesting to anyone who en joys a good basket ball game and it is to be regretted that larger num bers are not present to witness the contests as they are well worth see ing. STORM SEEMS , TO HAVE PASSED Snow and Sleet Storms Have Vanish- d Before the Bright Sunshine and General Clearing Conditions. The snow and sleet which raged over the state the first two days of the week seem to have vanished in the clearing and brightening skies and this morning disclosed an ideal winter's day dawning over this part of the state. The snow and sleet in this part of Nebraska did not reach the serious proportions as it did in the western and northern part of the state and very little loss is found in this section. The greatest sufferers from the storm apparently were the telephone and telegraph lines which were damaged to a 'greater or less extent by the sleet and in many cases the lines of communication were broken down by the weight of the sleet.

In the last few weeks there has been a great deal of discussion by a number of those who are interested in the handling of the grain crops as to the need of an elevator at the Burlington tracks in this city and which has teen badly needed fpr the past year. The fact that it has been practical ly impossible to secure cars from the small towns on the Missouri Pacific lines has caused a great deal of the grain to be brought to this city and even more would be handled if it was possible to handle it through an elevator, but as it is the shippers have to depend on cars being placed for them before they can bring in the grain. The Burlington here was able during the summer and fall to supplv a large number of cars at this point and wheat and corn from all over the eastern portion of the county was brought here in trucks for loading into the cars and shipping to the market. The building of an' elevator would allow a large amount of grain to be handled all the time and do away with the necessity of awaiting the arrival of cars before the grain could be disposed of to the market. With the supply of cars that the Burlington is generally able to supply at this point the elevator could handle nicely the grain from this portion of Cass county and prove a valuable asset to the farmers of the community. ecu NEWS 1 Will SECURE PATENT.
