J Society onm VOL. NO. XUV PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, APRIL 30. 1923. NO. 25 Burlington to Make Changes in Train Service T-niQ nf fihnrt Uol Paecanac M.v.o Necessary Adjustment of D the Trains. From Thursday's Dally The Burlington as well as other lines of railroads in the country have in the past two years been forced to make curtailment of their train service and a re-adjustment of their service?, due to the decreasing patronage that the large number of private owned automobiles and busses have occasioned, and while otheH branches and divisions have had this adjustment, a change is now being planned for the Omaha division that will tak off three trains that now operate through this city. The application that has been filed in the office of the state railway com mission at Lincoln asks leave to have pasneuger train No. 24 due here at 2:07 p. m., passenger train North bound. No. 23, due here at 3:05 p. m and southbound passenger train No, 14. due here at 8:40 p. m., aband oned. The Burlington as a substitute for tnese trains will have the motor car that is operated on the Schuyler line, operating between Schuyler and Oma ha, extend their afternoon run from Omaha to Pacific Junction to con nect with No. 3 and returning via Plattsmouth and thence out the Louisville line as at the present time the train to operate every day except Sunday. The railroad pro poses to substitute for No. 14 a mixed freight and passenger train from Omaha to Pacific Junction, leaving Omaha at midnight and which will probably reach this city at 12:45 a. m. The railroad company have made a showing before the commission on the loss of revenue on these trains that is convincing of the fact that the trains are not revenue producers and are operated at a loss and for this reason there is little daubt that the change will be made as asked j by the railroad. The company shows that in April 1917 there were 1,713 tickets sold between Plattsmouth and Omaha and that since the increasing volume of auto travel and the im proved roads that the sales In Febru ary. 1928, showed 385 tickets sold. Those who are familiar with the situation have long expected this change or at least the substitution of a motor car service as the trains have been plainly a losing propos ition to the company. This situation is true, not only here, buC in all short haul lines where the auto has supplanted the railroad largely as the means of travel. NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY The Press-Telegram of Long Beach, California, had recently a very fine article on the nineteenth anniversary of the establishment at Long Beach of the Studebaker agency of V. L. Thomas & Sons, which is now known as the Glenn E. Thomas Co.. the article being brought by T. E. Todd, i a relative and long time friend of the Thomas family. Mr. Thomas with his wife and four sons, Glenn then being quite a small boy. left this city in 1909 to remove to the Pacific coast and were among the first from this locality to find their way to the golden west where now so many thousands of the old timers of Iowa and Nebraska reside in the vicinity of Los Angeles. The first establishment that Mr. Thomas opened at the small town of Long Beach was a garage that the Mr. cnase oi tne repair snop ana garage was made in j-eoruary ana in iwaren Mr. Thomas signed up for the Stude baker agency, which make of cars he was Interested in before leaving .Plattsmouth. The company has expanded since that time and the past year its vol ume of business was estimated-at ,$1,000,000, and the firm has a large 'and fine building of Jheir own on ne of the principal streets of Long Beach. The firm has re-organized as the Glenn E. Thomas Co., in 1917 and now has a large staff of officers and directors and is rated as one of the best automobile companies on the west coast. The Thomas company has been honored by the Studebaker company on several occasions with special re wards for their exceptional work in the extension of business. RAILROAD OFFICIALS HERE From Thursday's Daliv vesterday H. R F'ted, ;tssistant general freight agent of the Burling-, ton for the lines west, was here from! Chicago, accompanied by N. E.

This Thomas and one helper. The Pur- action was one that involved the title BRING IN THE CHICKENS From Thursday's Pally Yesterday Plattsmouth was the livesi chicken market west of the Missouri river and with record break ing prices offered for the products of the farm in the way of hens, j roosters and springers. The result . was that there were thousands of pounds of poultry received at the wirwnia ctntlnnc mil rn re in I n f Pit v and in one case the farmer, W. F. Nolte. of west of Mynard, received over $300 for his one loud of the poultry. The day saw many here from forty and forty-five miles away with their poultry and kept the buy ers busy in handling the chickens as they rolled in by trucks from the farm. The high class poultry will be. shipped to the eastern markets where the demand for the feathered Nebraska products is very strong. Have Given the City Real Fine Service c. A. Johnson, Retiring Mayor George Luschinsky, Council man, Faithful Servants. and From Thursday's Datlv With the council meeting on Mon day night there retired from the services of the city in official capac ities, two men that have given the city a number of years of service C. A. Johnson as mayor and George Luschinsky as councilman. Mr. Johnson has been mayor of the city with two years exception, since 1921, having been succeeded by the present mayor, John P. Sattler in 1924, and who is again the successor of Mr. Johnson, having been elected at the city election on April 3rd for the two year term. In these years of service Mr. Johnson has taken a great deal of interest in the affairs of the city and his best efforts have been, to give the city a progressive and at the same time conservative admin istration. He has taken a great deal of his own time in looking after the city affairs and as his work was confining, spent many of his holidays and Sundays a well as the hours after his daily tasks for the Burling ton was closed, in looking after the affairs of the city and has visited all sections of the city to see what was needed in the way of improvement or changes in the methods of the city affairs that might prove a better ment. In addition to his service as mayori Mr. Johnson has also served as a member of the city council for a great many years irom tne tourtn ward. The city has been fortunate that they have had the services of such men as Carl Johnson and John Sattler at the city helm in the trying period of the last few years. The service of George Luschinsky as councilman has been very high class and his retirement was a regret to all of his associates in the city government as well as the commun ity at large as Mr. Luschinsky has been an earnest and thoughtful lab orer for the welfare of the city and has left nothing undone to give the city the fullest measure of service. A memoer ol tne leaning committees or tne council anu tne president or mat body, he has been a distinguished member whose absence from the council will long be felt. The city owes a great debt of gatitude to this councilman for his years of service in the city harness. DECIDES LAND CASE From Thursday's Dally The case in which A. G. Bach, et al was the plaintiffs and William Ferguson et al., the defendants. tQ land iocate(i east Gf the Burling- ton station on the Missouri river bot toms. The court held that the plaintiffs were estopped in their action by the fact that at the- time of the filing of the petition of suit of the resident land owners of the ottom land and the City of Plattsmouth in 1922, that the petition of the land owners in cluded the name of Jean Mason as the owner of a part of the land. This land was later sold by Mr. Mason to Mr. Ferguson and the present action was one in which the plaintiffs, sought to have the title given them instead of Mr. Ferguson by reason of the land being accretion land and adjoining that of the plaintiffs. Bach and Hartwick. The court held that as the land was acknowledged as the property of Mr. Mason that, his right to the title and to dispose of the same was lawful and the court found therefore for Mr. Ferguson.
