A HAPPY OCCASION The announcement hr.s been re ceived here by friends of the James Cunningham family, formerly of thiB city, announcing the arrival at the Cunningham hoem on Sunday of a fine little daughter who has come to share the happiness of the home at Long Beach, California. Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham were well known In this city where they resided for a number of years, Mrs. Cunning ham being formerly Miss Louise Hesse. Otto E. Lutz, who was elected as the new commander of the American Legion post of this city, is a native born resident of this city and one of the solid and stable citizenry of the cmomunity and a member of one of the well known families of Cass county. Mr. Lutz is the eldest son of John Lutz, one of the prominent and popular residents of the city and the new commander received his early training and education in the schools of this city and following his gradua tion made his home for some time with his uncle, Fred Lutz, on the farm vest of Murray, he being there when in 1917 the call to the United States to enter the world war was made and Mr. Lutz was among the first to go into the service, he enlist ing in this city on June 27, 1917, in the Sixth Nebraska infantry and with that regiment was sent to Camp Cody, New Mexico, where he trained and with the other members of the machine gun company of the regi ment was transferred to Co. C, 126th machine gun battalion, at tached to the 67th infantry brigade of the 34th division. In the late summer of 1918 Mr. Lutz sailed for France with his battalion" and in October 1918 was transferred to the 11th machine gun battalion of the 4th division and following the armis tice he was ordered to Germany where his organization was part of the army of occupation in the Amer ican area until August 1919 when he returned home. Mr. Lutz on his return to the United States, was married to Miss Lena Engelkemeier, also a member of one of the old families of the county and since that time Mr. and Mrs. Lutz have made their home in this city where Mr. Lutz is an effici ent and highly esteemed employe of the Burlington. The new bridge over the Platte river which our neighboring city of Louisville is planning and boosting, received a strong support Wednes day when a group of Omaha men and corporations subscribed the sum of $40,000 in stock for the new bridge that will be started soon and which will replace the old wooden structure that has for many years served that section of the county for a crossing over the river but which has in this dap of cars and trucks proved wholly inadequate to the volume of travel. The stock was subscribed at a meeting of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce highway committee and business men and H. A. Schneider of this city, one of the officers of the cumpany. Dr. E. H. Worthman of Louisville and Reece H. Hastain, president of the Bank of Commerce of Louisville. Some $65,000 in stock has already been subscribed by Louisville and Plattsmouth people for the new bridge. The bridge will cost approximately 175 thousand dollars. Work is ex pected to be under way within 30 days, and it is hoped to finish the structure by May or June of next year. Following completion it is hoped to have the bridge taken over by the state. The new structure will replace the present antiquated wooden bridge, which provides for only one lane of traffic, motorists being forced to pass at "turnouts." On several occasions part of the bridge has been damaged by high water. Estimate of yearly traffic on the proposed bridge, based on a tally of traffic on the present free bridge taken July 20-22 this year, is 147.-i 600 cars. 12,960 trucks and 213,600 extra passengers. Suggested tolls are 15 cents for auto and driver 30 cents for truck and driver and cents for each extra passenger. Anticipated yearly gross income would be $22,14 0 from autos, $3,SS8 from trucks and $10,680 from extra passengers. Estimated expense for first year's operation are $12,600. Anticipated total surplus at the end of the fourth year is $106,032. It is the plan to have the state bear half the cost, with the tolls re tiring the rest. Location of the bridge will be at the site, or slightly east, of the pres ent bridge. The bridge will contain 22 standard transverse girders and 60-foot span over the main chan nel, and will be similar in design to the new bridge over the Platte north of Plattsmouth. The concrete floor will be 20 feet wide and one inch thicker than required, for strength. All piers will be directly in line with piers of the Missouri Pacific bridge, for protection against current, ice, -etc. RETURNS FROM CALIFORNIA From Friday's Daily Mrs. Frank E.
