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.

Morgan's Triumph Over Elks and the
Reserves Run Away With Vic
tory From Eagle Team.
From "Wednesday's Dally.
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.

there is a general lowering in all lines
Clothing should be no exception! Wool is down.
In time, garments made from .lower priced wool will
come thru and should reflect- the drop.
As it looks to us, this 'will probably come by
Spring or Early Fall. If it does, our heavy stocks
bought last fall can never be moved at their rightfur
prices. We decided some time ago to take our loss
now, instead of later.
We have gone thru the entire stock, re-priced
everything not according to present market, but
what we believe it will cost this spring.

NEED OF ELEVATOR
ON THE BURLINGTON
v .-
Many Residents cf This Portion of
County Urge Construction of
Elevator at This Point.
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.
