From Tuesday's Daily
The session of the city council last
evening was devoid of any real start
ling features and poace and harmony
prevailed in large chunks as it were,
with three of the city legislators be
ing absent when the tirst roll call
was made. Higley, Gradoville and
Sihutz being among the absentees
from the meeting.
The long'-st portion of the meeting
wan devoted to the reading of the
minutes of the last regular and the
ppecial sessions of the council and
upon which City Clerk John Cloidt
spent some little time.
The Plattsmouth f:re department
presented a communication asking for
the purchase by the city or authority
for the department to buy eight new
rubber coats that might be used in
case of fire and which were to be
kept on the lire truck for the use of
the firemen. On motion of Council
man Vroman the request was granted
and the purchase will be made by
the fire and water committee with
the assistance of the fire department.
The matter of the wcrrkmen's com
pensation policy for the city was
taken up and referred to the judiciary
committee to look into before the ex-j
piration of the old policy. ,
Mayor Sattler stated that City
Treasurer Kirkham had notified him
that the city treasury had received
$17,000 from taxes collected by the
county .treasurer, as well as ?8,000
which had come into the school fund
through the same source. Mayor
Sattler urged the council however to
exercise economy in their expendi
tures that the amount might not be
unduly spent.
Chairman McMaken of the judic
iary committee announced that in
the application of Julius A. Pitz et
al against the city to prevent the
levying of an assessment for gravel
ing work near the property of the
plaintiffs, the district court had sus
tained the plaintiffs and granted the
injunction against the city and that
the expense of this graveling that
was a part of the city's share, would
have to be provided otherwise.
Mayor Sattler gave a resume of
the graveling proposition taking up
the first moves for the graveling of
the K of T highway and the action
of the Chamber of Commerce in get
ting the county board interested and
which board had agreed to take up
the graveling provided $f,000 was
raised by subscription and this had
been done and the contract for the
work lot by the county, it was found
later that the county and state pro
ject -did not extend to the paving on
Chicago avenue and left a consider
able strip that would have to be
-ared for by the city. The board of
county commissioners agreed that if
the city would agree to gravel 1.C00
feet of the distance, they would bear
the expense of graveling the remain
ing 3.200 feot of the distance. This
proposition had been accepted. Ac
cordingly the county had gone ahead
with the work of placing a part of
the gravel on the city's side of the
road and in turn the city was to
gravel along a part that lay on the
county side as soon as the district
could be created by ordinance and
the city's part of the work could pro
ceed. The graveling adjoining prop
erty of the plaintiffs in the action
omprised that part done by the coun
ty for the city under this reciprocal
agreement and was completed before
the city graveling district was actu
ally created and therefore the court
had held that there could not be in
cluded in the district lands where the
work was already done. The total
of the amount held up by the court
order would be between $700 and
$SO0, Mr. Sattler stated.
City Attorney J. A. Capwell stated!
that as a general proposition the cit
ies were the creatures of the legisla-1
tors and were bound by the statutes
tliat prescribed their actions and fori
this reason should be very careful in
the preparation of the ordinances and
contracts entered into in creating
paving or graveling districts. He
thought the city had gotten off very
cheaply on the general work as the
county bad done the grading and
two-thirds of the graveling, while
the city had done one-third. He did
not think that there was any use in
appealing the case to the state su-
preme court.
On motion of Councilman McMak-i
en it was decided by the unanimous
vote of the council that they would
not appeal the case.
Councilman Harris announced that
he had discovered that he had been
paying the special paving" tax as
sessed for the street paving on lower
Main street on Lot 12, Block 30,
which should have been assessed to
P. F. Goos and that he had paid
three installments before he had
learned the fact that he was not pay
ing on his own lot. It was decided
to clear this matter up in the records
and have Mr. Harris relieved of this
unjust burden.
There being nothing else of spec
ial interest the regular session was
adjourned and the dads reconvened
for the levying of the remaining tax
in Gravel District No. 40, minus the
property that had restrained the
city.
The following claims were allow

council and approved by the council:
