Nebraska Gas & Electric Company
Would Amend Piattsmouih
Transmission Line Order.
From Tuesday's Liaily
The Nebraska Gas & Electric com
pany, which owns and operates the
Lincoln Gas & Electric Light com
pany as one of the subsidiaries of the
Continental, flied with the state rail
way commission an application for
an amendment to a recent order
issued by that body permitting the
construction of 33.000 volt trans
mission line from Plattsmonth to
Lincoln.
The original application was for
6.00 volts, and the consent of the
various wire companies affected was
obtained on that basis. The com
mission, when it discovered that the
company intended to use only 33,
000 volts, declined to give permission
for any other voltage. The com
pany now says that it wants to build
it at 60.000 volts, and having all
necessary consents, would the com
mission kindly amend its order ac
cordingly. The lower voltage was decided
on in the beginning because the
company has not yet erected at
Plattsmoutb the big plant that is ex
pected to figure in a superpower pro
position lor this section of the state
Now it proposes going ahead on the
basis of the higher voltage. State

LEGION BUYS
GROUND FOR
AUDITORIUM
DEAL BEING CLOSED TODAY FOR
BUILDING SITE ON VINE
STREET NEAR P. 0.
HOPE TO BUILD NEXT YEAR
Financing Campaign to be Under
taken January 1st Architect
Now Busy with Plans.
From Tuesday lai!y
Today Hugh 3. Kcarns Post No.
S6, American Legion, is closing a
deal that means its passing from
the tenant status to that of the free
holder and brings the post several
steps closer to its club home and
municipal auditorium plan. A deal
is being closed this afternoon under
unanimous authority of the post j iv
en last night at its meeting, for the
ownership Of 78 front feet of ground
abutting upon Vint Btreet between
Fifth and Sixth streets, which has
for some Sears been owned by V. E.
Rosencrar.s and W. C. Soennichsen.
A large double garage is located on
this property, but this will ultimate
ly be rrzed to mufC ro:)m lor tin
auditorium that will extend from
the street to the alley, a distance of
14 0 feet.
With the acquisition of this prop
erty the post has decided to give up
occupancy of Its present club rooms
in the Leonard building at the ter
mination of its lease on January 1st,
and will concentrate its energies on
the securing of a real home of its
own in the new building that will
he a credit to our city.
The building site being purchased
is one ot the most desirable ilase-in
locations of the half dozen or more
given consideration by a special
building site committee and will af
ford the post splendid surround; nt;s
for its contemplated building;
An Omaha architect is now design
ing the building and the next step
in getting the project under way
will be the determination of its ac
tual codt, although that has already
been roughly estimated.
After that the post is hopeful of
being able to raise sufficient funds
thru popular subscription to enable
the floating of a loan to provide for
its completion, and which will be
paid off by the Legion from receipts
of Its own money-making enterprises
during the coming years.
Free use of the building for all
strictly community events is pledged
by the post and the direct revenue
from its rental for other affairs held
there where an admission is charg
ed, etc., is expected to meet the ac
tual operating expense including
light, taxes, heat. et
So it can be seen that the Legion
is undertaking a real community ser
vice in pledging payment for the
building from the rereipts of its in
door carnivals and other enterprises
for at least several yars to come.
The Legion is one of the youngest
organizations in the city, but from
its inception, members of the post
have dreamed of the day when they
would be able to have a home of
their own and worked dilligently
with this one end in view. As a re
result they have accumulated suffi
cient funds to complete the purchase
of this very desirabh- piece of prop
erty and with the same enthusiastic
concentration on their plan in the
future should be abb to put it over
magnificently.
The financing campaign will take
the form of a "brick " (not the typ
ical "gold"' type, hewever) selling
campaign, in which individuals and
business houses will be asked to sub
scribe tor any number of bricks, at
fl each. The larger contributors
will be furnished With a certificate
suitable for framing and smaller
ones with neat receipts, on all of
which will appear the architect's
replica of the building. This cam
paign will be started January 1st,
and when enough has been sub
scribed to insure a mortgage loan on
the balance of the cost, the work will
proceed. Under favorable financial
conditions predicted for 1925 it is
hoped to "break ground" soon after
April 1st. and hold a public corner
stone laying on Memorial day, with
the formal opening of the new audi
torium by next Armistice day.
