City of Fremont, in which the matter
of the validity of the occupation tax
of the city of Fremont, levying a tax
of ?300 against the bread trucka
operating in that city was involved,
was decided yesterday by the state
supreme court in favor of the plain
tiff. This, case is of a great deal of
interest in Plattsmouth as 'the local
council adopted their occupation tax
modeled somewhat after that of Fre
ment and which had a provision plac
ing the occupation of the bread
trucks at $150 a year and which was
opposed by the baking companies of
Omaha, litigation in the case now
pending in the district court.
The full decision has not been re
ceived here but the ruling of the
state high court will have an impor
tant bearing here as the same ruling
will no doubt would apply to the
Plattsmouth ordinance.
The baking companies won the
trial in the Dodge county district
court and the Peterson and Stand

Missouri river to settle in the tl.cn
Indian country. James O'Neill laid
out that section of the city that em
braces a part of the Burlington shops
and the section to the south.
The family resided here for a great
many years, but all of the O'Neill
family are now trone from here, the
only descendants of the man that
assisted in the foundation of the city
that are remaining here being Henry
Herold and Mrs. A. L. Tidd. who are
grandchildren of James O'Neill.

WEST IS CULTURE CENTER
Chicago The west, and not the
east, is the cultural center of the
United States, Forrest B. Spaulding,
city librarian of Des Moines, said in a
talk before the American Library as
sociation Tuesday. The speaker in
terpreted culture as the reading of
books, and in this, he said, the Paci
fic coast far excelled the midwest and
east. According to Spaulding's fig
ures, a typical town in the east. Pro
vidence, It. I., reads 4 0 per cent less
than Dos Moines, a city of similar
size. He declared this indicated that
the middle west ranks second to the
west in cultural tendencies, and
added that the east is "a poor third."

The year 1930 came into being in
this community in a very cjniet r.nd
unassuming way and little from the
ordinary marked the fact that the
finger of time had turned another
page and started the world on an
other trip around the calendar.
A great many of the residents
spent the time awaiting the new
year at the dance given by the Platts
mouth Volunteer fire department, the
dancers whiling away the time most
pleasantly until the stroke of twelve
o'clock ushered in the new year of
1930 and which was greeted by the
orchestra and the dancers with en
thusiasm and cheers.
One of the most extensive New
Year observances was that held at
the St. Paul's Evangelical church
an appropriate program was given,
culminating with the short relic: i:s
services as the members of the ram
bid 1029 farewell and welcomed the
coming of the new born year.
The Epworth League of the Metho
dist church also held a watch party
at the church wereThe members t n
joyed a fine social time until the mid
night hours when their devotional
service ushered in the new year ap
propriately. As he New Year arrived the
church bells were sounded over the
city as well as the shouts and chee-rs
of those on the streets and the herns
cf the various autos joined in the
greeting to the season, but this was
soon passed and the usual calm set
tled over the community.
A great many local people enjoyed
the occasion at Omaha where the
midnight theatre rr dinner parties
served to add to the gayety of the
occasion and made the occasion on;.'
of more than passing interest.
