This case is the outgrowth of the accident at 12th and Elm streets in this city on the afternoon of Sep tember 4th, when the car driven by Mrs. Nelson went into the ditch on the west side of 12th street. The accident occurred just north of the Elm street crossing, where the car was making the turn onto 12th street and instead of keeping in the road the car had gone on over the intersection into the ditch,- a depth of some seven feet and was badly damaged. At the time of the acci dent Mrs. Nelson, the owner of the car, was driving. The plaintiff is represented in the action by her father, Joseph O. Ber ger. an attorney of Omaha: At the office of City Attorney C.

Change in Washington Matter of Avenue Sewer Comes Up Size is Increased. From Thursday's Dally. " The city, rouncilmen with the ex ception of Councilman Vroman of the Fifth ward, assembled last night at the city hall to consider the prop-. osition of making the change in the size of the Washington avenue sewer that had been talked over at the meeting Monday evening and the councilmen were still of the opinion that the change recommended by the engineers should be acted upon favorably. I City Attorney C. A. Rawls pre : sented a written opinion to the coun cil that they had the power to make a change in the dimensions of the sewer without the necessity of re advertising the bids for the same and this opinion cleared the way for the action of the council. Councilman Bestor, chairman of the finance committee, called the attention to the fact that the change from a four foot, to a five foot sewer would make the cost reach the sum of $6,044.15. whereas the appropria tion and levy for the construction of the sewer would only produce the sum of $4,500, and the general fund at this time would not allow any transfer. After some discussion it was de cided on motion of Councilman Bes tor that the sewer be constructed as far as the funds would permit, the five foot pipe being used and which will be so constructed as to elimi nate the present bridges on 10th street and on Locust street, leaving a space that will have to be cared for later. On motion of Councilman McCarty the city was authorized to purchase the four foot pipe that has already been constructed for use on the sew er and store the same for future usa or until it can be disposed of by the city to advantage. . .The price paid for .tUC four fjoqt pipe was $5.50 per foot, the same price at which it was furnished the contractor.

By the time you reach the last line, property worth $923 will have been destroyed by fire somewhere in the United States. Minute after minute, day after day, on the average, this appalling pace keeps up, to a grand yearly total of $485,000,000. That, at least, was the record in 1921. What the showing will be this year, and in the years to come de pends, in large measure, on you. Ninety per cent of all fires are pre ventable, for they are due to care lessness. . Take a look in your cellar, your attic, that closet. Clear out the rub bish the old stuff stored away be "maybe some day we'll find a use for it." Many fires about the house are born in trash piles. While insurance marks the differ ence between protection and destitu tion, every American home has its treasured possessions whose worth cannot be computed in terms of mon ey apd can never be replaced. A minute's thought now may save the patient accumulation of a life time, from the ravages of , fire. After all, it's chiefly a matter of protecting your own dwelling and those whose presence there makes it home. Isn't it worth a minute to you?
