COUNCIL HAS
A QUIET TIME
LAST NIGHT
ONLY STIR OF MEETING IS ARGU
MENT OVER METHOD OF
GIVING FIRE ALARM.
Prom Tuesday' Daily.
All of the citv lawgivers were on
hand last nitrht when Mavor Johnson
allowed the gavel to fall and call the
legislators to order and the members
at once launched into the transaction
of the business demanding their at
. tention.
I The-Plattsmouth State bark asked
inai us ov.uuu Dona ior deposits ne
reduced to $10,000 and the First Na
tional bank filed a similar request for
a reduction to f 15,000 as the banks
have been paying a premium on a
large bond while the deposits of the
city do not at any time exceed the
smaller amount. On motion of Coun
cilman Bestor, seconded by Council
man Knorr the request of the two
bank8 was granted and the smaller
bomls acce p(ed
accepted
Councilman Ptacek of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee, report
ed that in company with the mayor
the committee had visited the new
paving and had found it in good
shape with one or two small defects
that had been remedied and that this
was all startling that the committee
had found in the past two weeks.
Chairman McCarthy of the fire and
water committee to whom had been
referred the matter of the bid of C.
M. Parker for placing the fire bell
on the top of the city hall, reported
that they had interviewed Mr. Park
er and that he was willing to go
ahead and place the bell for the sum
of $ 25. This report led to a great
amount of conversation pro and con
between the members of the council
as to the means of giving the fire
alarm and foreshadowed the debate
that was to later mark the meeting.
Councilman Lindeman brought up the
matter of the shop whistle as the
means of giving the fire alarm and
which has been abandoned for the
silent telephone alarm for the mem
bers of the department. Councilman
McCarthy explained that the fire de
partment had accepted the telephone
system as being the most efficient
and had given the best results s
the whistle aroused everyone over the
city and brought out a number who
were not interested in the fire and
only made interference with the work
of fighting the fire.
The matter of the fire bell died
abornin' however as Mr. McCarthy's
motion failed to receive a second.
Councilman Schulhof of the light
t'ng committee reported that his com
mittee had taken up the matter oi
the securing of estimates on a mu
nicipal lighting plant but that the
engineer had requested that the mat
ter be laid over until he could be
here in person to discuss it with the
council.
Chairman Bestor of the finance
committee reported that the next
steps in the bond issue would be to
have the city secure the proper legal
opinion as to the bonds and have the
bonds printed and for this purpose
the finance committee and the may
or were empowered.
The engineer's first estimate in
district No. 23 was read and show
ed that a balance of SooO.10 was

street paving in district No. 24 was
also read and showed a balance of
$5,415.75 as being due the contrac
tor. On motion of Ptacek the sum
of $415.75 was held up by the city
and the balance of $5,000 ordered
paid to the contractor.
Two ordinances were then brought
forth and read, one to reduce the tax
on the telegraph companies from $30
to $12.50 per annum, and the other
to change the time of meeting of the
city council from 8:00 to 7:30 p. m
during the winter months and both
were passed under a suspension of
the rules. )
The city council then decided to
sit as a board of equalization at the
city hall in five weeks to levy the as
sessment of taxes on the property in

Councilman Ptacek urged that the !

the pipes in places where they are
exposed or that the city do the work
and . charge the same to the company.
The fire alarm matter was then re
vived by Councilman Maurer who
clung to the Idea of the shop whistle
being a help to the giving of the
alarm and especially at night when
he urged its piercing blasts might
awaken even Rid Van Winkle and
allow parties whose places might be
on fire or their neighbors' homes, to
get out.
Councilman Bestor stated that the
telephone system had been found to
'work in a very efficient manner and
re-'did away with all the trouble that
had been experienced in getting
alarms to tne memoers oi me aepari-

Councilman Sebatka suggested that
the telephone and whistle both be'
used while Mayor Johnson suggested
that it be lelt lor tne members or.
the department to decide as tney naci
the fires to handle.
Councilman McCarthy pointed out
that the state authorities had urged
the u?e of the silent alarm as being1
the most efficient. Councilman Knorr ;
also favored the telephone alarm as
the best means- of getting the fire-
men out

The friends in this city of James
Panos and Peter Antos. who recent
ly sailed for their former homes in
Czecho-Slovakia, are much concerned
that the two gentlemen may get an
opportunity of taking part in the
war that seems impending in central
Europe as the result of an attempt
'of Charles of Hapsburg to take over
the throne of Hungary. The two
i gentlemen have failed to complete
their American citizenship and are
therefore subject to the call of the
Slova k ia government and the call-
ing of the man power of that coun
try to the colors may include them.

The Chamber of Commerce direct

Burlington management, who have
been very anxious to have their em

of the proper kind of home?.
It is hoped that in the near fut

up the proposition and erect a num
ber of residences in the city to sell

railroad company to carry out their
plans for the putting on of addition

been found a hard matter for the'
men who come here with families to j
secure the right kind of homes and
this has kept many back from locat

will discuss the matter thoroughly,
and endeavor to find some way oi

The special sale and demonstra
tion of the Copper Clad ranges
which is being held at the hard want
store of Bettor & Swatek this week
is attracting more or less attention
throughout the city and vicinity and
a large number were in yesterday to
attend the opening day of the sale
and to view the points of value of
this line of ranges. Mr. Jack Brew
er, who comes from the Copper Clad
factory at St. Louis, is in charge of
the demonstration and is a very
versatile exponnent of the points of
value of his line of ranges. During
the week the purchasers of the
ranges are being given a free set of
aluminum cooking vessels which
alone are worth a large amount of
money to the purchaser in addition
to the special offers on the sove it
self. The Copper Clad has proven
very popular with the housewives of
this part of Cass county and the op
portunity of having them thorough
ly demonstrated is something that
everyone should avail themselves of
seeing and especially those who have
households of their own that have
the necessity of a first class range.

the first rain in a number of weeks
visited this locality and did a very
commendable thing in the laying of
the dust as well as in helping out
the grain crops which had been very
dry for the past few weeks.
