IMPORTANT.
MATTERS BE
FORE COUNCIL
PROPOSITION OF ADDITIONAL
NIGHT POLICE IS TURNED
DOWN BY: COUNCIL
From Tuesday's Daily.
The session of the city council
. . ...
last evening was iiueu wun many
matters of the greatest importa
I1C2
' to the citizens of the community and
Vi i .r. f a mnn o- th ago t 5 o prp't I J n ,r f
chief among these was the creating
of paving districts for Pearl street
from Seventh to Tenth street and
also Main street from the Burling
ton station to Seventh street, both
being great additions to the im
provement of the year.
One of the first matters to come
before the council iwas a communi
cation or petition '. signed by some
fifty residents of the city asking lor
the appointment of L. F. Terryberry
as police for service on Main street
during the night hours and for
which the petitioners agreed to pay
the sum of 1 per month. This mat
ter was taken up by Councilman
Ptacek, who stated that he did not
see the necessity for an additional
policeman as the crime wave here
wa3 not any greater than it liad
been. He also stated that if the
police were kept busy patroling the
Main street of the city instead of
going out into the country at dif
erent times there would be no need
of additional police and also if nec
essary the day force could be start
ed on duty at noon and remain un
til midnight. On motion of Mr.
Ptacek seconded by Councilman Mc
Carthy the matter was placed on
file.
The council received a communi
cation -from F. W. , Whitten, of the
Western. Union Telegraph company
protesting against the high rate of
occupation tax against the company
that taxed them in the same class
as electric light, water or telephone j
companies when, in fact, the tele
graph company did not have any
where near. the san?" amount of rev
enue. TLe company exprc-:-ed a will-;
inness to pay the sum of $12.50 per
year, but thought that $30 was ex
cessive. This matter will be threshed
out. by the judiciary committee be
fore the. next council meeting. !
Residents of Wintersteen hill who
owned property along which side
walks had teen ordered placed, pre
sented a petition., asking that the
present cinder walk.be continued in
jrorvice instead of a new permanent
v.alk, but this did not get far. as the
council ordered it placed on file. '
The report of City Treasurer Hart
ford showed that there was a bal
ance of funds on hand of $31,S31.
37 and registered warrants out7
rtanding amounting to ?96.000
which shows quite a reduction in
the amount of registered warrants.
Mayor Johnson stated that owing u
the fact that the taxes in the special
improvement districts had not been
certified up last year in time so that
the county clerk could post them on
the tax list, the citv was out some
thing like S3. 000, that they had- t6
carry over this year but which
would be returned to the city in the
end as the amount had been placed
against the district by City Clerk
Duxbury, who had been looking af
ter the matter very carefully this
past year.
In the matter of city registered
warrants which were called in and
which could not be located, cn mo
tion of Councilman Bestor, the city
attorney was instructed to take le
gal steps to have the interest stop
ped on these warrants.
The judiciary committee reported
that the appraisers of the Kroehler
property had failed so far to file
their report and until they did it
would be impossible to do anything
in regard to the extension of the
city nark.
In regard to the proposition of
parking cars along the curb line in
that portion of Main street from
Sixth to Seventh street, the city
council decided to allow the matter
to remain where it is at present,
with the parking in the center of the
street. Messrs. Ptacek and Schulhof
urged that the side parking be al
lowed in cases where necessary but
this view was not shared by the
other members of the council and
the parking will remain where it is
The street, alleys and bridges com
mittee recommended that the grad
ing near the C. E. Whittiker home
necessary for putting in a sidewalk
be looked after and fixed up for the
property owner.
Chairman . McCarthy of . the fire
and water committee reported that
his committee had arranged drying
racks for hose for the the fire de
partment and would have the shed
covered with metal as soon as possi
ble to make it fireproof,
The light question, that issue that
has kept the foreground of the ses
sions of the council for the past four
years or more, was brought up by
Chairman Schulhof of the light com
mittee who stated that the city at
torney had advised the light com
mittee that there was nothing that
they could do with the commercial
rate for lighting under the fran
cbise that the light company was
operating under and that the only
recourse would be that of taking
what concessions the light company
might be induced to give. Manager
Kuykendall of the light rompany
had 'been willing to meet with the
committee as .scon as prsrible and
discuss the rate question.
This brought ju much r.rgumeni
end the 'nun ipl .i-h. r ant was
brought nearer to rea'iztuion as the
result of the meeting of the city
dads. Councilmau Ptac k stated ttut
there was apparently i c'.h?r v:.y
to do in the matter t.iun to face the
proposition squarely :o j,ie th peo
ple relief from high rat .-? and h?
thought the matter of a municipal
lighting plant should hi submitted
to a vote of the people of the com
munity to determine what they de
sired in the matter, as the city could
afford to take up the proposition to
. -
.give relief to the light consumers.
Councilman Maurer also took the
view that it was time to :akc tters
to provide other me-ins of souring
1 service for the people jf the city and
cited a case in the south part of the
city where a man ha.l moved into
the Beeson property vh::h at the
time was wired and supplied with
electric current. Later the aian was
visited and solicited to buy stock in
the light company and refused to
purchase and later his light was dis
continued, altlio Mr. Maurer stated
the consumer had kept his light
tills paid up to- date, and such means
as this the fifth ward councilman
stated, pointed that there should be
something done at once to give relief
to the consumers.
Councilman Bestor also spoke
briefly on the matter stating that
the city should not be allowed to
remain under the thumb of the
lighting company and that a munici
pal plant couldpbe made to pay with
proper management.
On motion of Councilman Ptacek
the lighting committee was author
ized to gel figures on the cost of a
municipal lighting plant and the op
erating expenses so that it could be
laid. before the council at an early
date and this was carried by a un
amimous vote of the city legislators.
The committee to which was re
ferred the matter of a municipal
ffCale was given further time to look
into the matter as to a location and
cost.
) The ordinance was then read that
created a new paving district on
Pearl street from Seenth street west
to Tenth street and by the unami
mous -vote of the council the rules
were suspended and the odinance
passed unanimously and tho mayor
and clerk instructed to see that es
timates were prepared by the engin
eer for the work.
The action of the council at their
previous session in defeating the or
dinance creating the paving district
near the Masonic Home was then
brought up by Councilman Mc
Carthy and the council voted to re
.?cn?ider the matter. -It was an
nounced that owing to the lateness
of tho season it was the desire of
the Mjsonic Home board to wait un
til spring to pave and so that mat
ter was allowed to rest for the pre
sent. '
The curb and guttering on Rock
street which was defeated at the last
meeting was again brought up and
discussed. Councilman Bestor stating
tl.at the hill was washed in bad
shape and that curbing and gutter
ing the hill would aid in keeping it
in the proper shape for travel.
Where curb and gutter had been in
stalled Mr. Bestor stated the cost of
the maintaining of the highway had
been considerably lessened. In this
Councilman Maurer also joined as he
had made an investigation of the
Rock street district and also on
Eighth street where the curb and
gutter was in use and round that
the curbing had gone a long way
toward making a good road. Mr.
Maurer moved that Bert Coleman be
given the contract for doing the
work on this street at once but the
vote resulted in a tie on this pro
position. Those who voted for the
creation of the new district were
Bestor, Ptacek, Lindeman, Schulhof,
Maurer and against it, McCarthy,
Howe, Knorr, Brittain, Sebatka.
On motion of Councilman Mc
Carthy the council rejected the bids
on the Masonic Home paving so as
to release the checks of the bidders
which were still in the hands of the
city clerk
The ordinance creating the Main
street paving district was then read
and on motion of Ptacek the rules
were suspended and the ordinance
placed on its second and third read
ing for final passage with Council
man Schulhof voting against the
suspension of the rules. On the final
vote on the ordinance there was no
dissenting votes cast.
The finance committee then brot
up the matter of the refunding bonds
in the sum of $90,000 which fall
due in January, 1922 'and the reso
lution providing for the issuance of
twenty year bonds to take their place
was discussed at some length. Coun
cilman Maurer thought that all of
the bonds should be allowed to run
the full length of time as the taxes
necessary to retire $3,000 of the
bonds each year would prove too
great a burden. It was explained by
Councilman Bestor that the present
sinking fund would care for $2,000
cf the bonds each year and it would
only be necessary to cover the addi
tional $500 so that the burden to
the tax payers would not be increas
ed much. The resolution was finally
passed to permit the steps being
taken to refund the bonds, with
Councilman Maurer voting against

From Tutfttday's Laily.
The Methodist conference appoint
ees to the different charges over the
state were made yesterday and
among the changes. made in the per
sonel of 'the ministers was the trans
fer of Rev. A. V. Hunter from the
chuich in Plattsmouth to the. church
at GothenWrg. The church here has
extended a request for the return of
the able and efficient minister but
in the conference a number of the
other cities of the state were con
tenders for his services and the re
sult was that the conference left it
to Rev. Hunter, and he made the de
cision to take the new work as it
was in a much more extensive field
and as he could net possibly expect
