Re-Elect Old
Officers of the
Civic Bodv
Sentiment of the Members of Or
ganization for the Retention of
Present Officers
From Saturday's DaTTy
The meeting oi tne Chamber of
Commerce last evening drw out a
small number of th' more active
leaders in the work of the body but
was not us large ;is had been hoped
to secure but bad some most inter
esting reports to receive as well as
I suggestions for po.-sibie objectives
I for the ensuing year.
The officers of the Chamber of
Commerce who had planned pnr-ib!e
successors were disappointed and
compelled to once more resume the
reins of office or at bast until such
time as they might be able to unload
the honors of the office on someone
eh-e. The suggestions as to candi
dates for the office of presidfal as
offered by the board of directors was
that of C. C. Wescott and Searl Davis,
but Mr. Davis, who presided liat
tened his boom far greater than
Senator Xorris that of W. S.
Vare. and stated emphatically that
he "did not choose." E. H. Wescott
stated that his brother had expressed
the hope that he might be relieved
of the presidency and while he was
not the "spokesman" for the presi
dent, he hoped someone else could
be named. The attempt of William
Haird to produce a boom for Kred
I. Rea. as the new prtsident was
punctured by Mr. Ren and the mat
ter then developed on the motion of
George L. Farley that the election
of Mr. Wescott be made' unanimous
and which Was carried with a rous
ing vol".
On the nominations for vice-president
the medicine mixers of the di
rectors had suggested T. II. Pollock
and William Rami and both leaped
to their feet to slay the suggestion
ar.d in turn declined the office.
II. A. Schneider then moved that
all of the remaining offices. S. S.
Davis, vice-president and Fred I. Rea,
treasurer, be re-elected also and this
was carried without a dissenting vote
save that of the parties involved.
Owing to the fact that Mr. Wescott
was In California there could be no
expression from him but Mr. Davis
intimated that the future might
bring new faces into the offices at
least in his case, but that they would
await the return of the president of
the chamber.
Fred I. Rea. the efficient treasurer
of the Chamber of Commerce, gave
a report of the activities of the year
with the showing of a surplus of
$117.23 at the last annual meeting
and dues of $862. ."0 collected with
some still to receive with a total
from all sources of $1, lCu..o re
ceived and listing the expenditures
that leaves a balance at, this time
of $361. 9S. The Chamber of Com
merce has given active financial aid
to the Elks band, the poultry show
and a number of other community
interests that required some finan
cial backing.
In connection with the report Mr.
Davis commended Mr. Rea for his
work and the fact that the Cham
ber of Commerce was functioning
had made possible a great many ac
tivities that otherwise would not be
possible.
Mr. Davis, who is also the chair
man of the good roads committee,
took the occasion to commend Com
misioner Farley for his work in aid
ing the road program and support
ing any legitimate request for aid
in the developing of a good roads
program and the commissioners in
general for their fine aid in the Mis
souri river highway.
II. A. Schneider of the bridge com
mittee stated that the bridge was
completed over the Missouri rivvr,
that the road work as far as grading
was concerned was also near an end
and that by the first part of the
week this phase of the program would
be finished and that the viaduct was
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
The bridge company was awaiting
the completion at least of the road
to Wintersteen hill before starting
the taking of toll as they wished the
best of accommodations in travel for
the patrons. Mr. Schneider remark
ed the numbers of cars from distant
points that had visited here already
over the Incomplete road and the
possibilities of the future of the
bridge. He also took the occasion
to thank the Chamber of Commerce,
the mayor and councllmen and the
entire community for the fine and
whole hearted support that they had
given to the bridge.
T. H. Pollock, chairman of the
agricultural committee reported on
their major activity of the year, that
of the Tri-County Poultry and Pet
Stock show, which had been a great
success and drew the highest praise
of the officers of the association for
the fine arrangements and treatment
that they had found in this city.
Mr. Pollock was particularly grate
ful to the Chamber of Commerce,
business men for their donations and
the American Legion for their build
ing and services In helping put over
the show. The committee had ex
tended the invitation to the associa
tion for next year show, but had not
received a reply a3 yet from the sec
retary of the association, but the
general sentiment had been most
favorable to this city as the place
for the 1'.) 30 show.
E. H. Wescott. the chairman of
the Happy Hundred committee, re
ported that the series of suppers was
now in progress and that from the
suppers of last year there had been
somethink like $7 left over.
Chairman E. A. Wurl of the re
tail section of the Chamber of Com
merce gave a report of the various
activities (if his branch of the Cham
ber of Commerce work, the retail
section having donated $7. for the
band concerts, baseball team, Santa
Claus festivities, as well as to the
Associated charities as well as de
ficient children. This action is al.-o
pianning a campaign to get acquaint
ed with the residents of Sarpy and
Mills county in the future.
S. S. Davis stated that the action
of the Ad club in joining or merg
ing into the Chamber of Commerce
had aided greatly in the effectiv
work of the main body and that th
retailers deserved a gr i.t deal of
credit for their fine co-o; ration.
Phillip Hoffman, who has had
charge of the labor bureau reported
that the demand for work had not
been so great this year as last and
that there had been but few calls
at his office for jobs.
The Chamber of Comnit rce had a
visitor pre.-ent. Marion Tucker of
Nehawka. who was introduced and
expressed his pleasure at being pres
ent and to enjoy the occasion as
the progress and welfare of the towns
was important to all of the county
and the residents of Nehawka were
extending their best wishes for the
welfare of Plattsmouth and which
was of interest to all of the county.
There was some talk of the plans
for the coming year and the projects
that will be taken up and one of
these was that of the formation of
a Trust Co., that might take over
residental property that was in need
of repair and place them in proper
shape, this suggestion being offered
by D. O. Dwyer. while William Haird
urged that the city needed a mod
ern and up-to-date hotel for the ac
commodation oi visitors to the city.
The suggestions for the 1930 ob
jectives were listed by the secretary
and will be taken up later ty the
board of directors at their meeting.

Be Made Soon
From Saturday's Dally
The city school which have been
enjoying the holiday vacation since
the Friday before Christmas will re
sume their activities on Monday and
the teachers and the scholars get
down to the regular grind that will
continue until the spring season.
The board of education has been
unable to fill the vacancy in the fa
culty of the high school caused by
the resignation of D. C. Thornton,
who is now engaged in his new work
as court reporter for Jodge Regley.
The board is very desirious of se
curing an experienced man teachei
in this department and at this sea
son of the year there are very few
of the best teachers footloose, which
has added to the problems of the
board. It Is hoped that In the middle
of January It may be possible to se
cure a teacher for the work and un
til that time tre work is being teni-
porarilv cared for by Mrs. B. K.
Woodward, who is an experienced
teacher in this line of educational
work.
The teachers who have been out
of the city on the holiday vacations
are commencing to come in now to
take up their regular work on Mon
day and it is expected that by Sun
day evening all of the members of
the teaching staff will be on the scene
and ready to go on Monday morn
ing.

ing along the new highway to the
Missouri river bridge, which will

ingston road, is nearing completion
and the work of F. L. Busche. the
contractor in this line of work will
probablv be completed by Saturday
evening. The surfacing and other
detail work on the highway will then
be undertaken and as far as this

will be complete, altho it will be
necessary for the completion of the
viaduct along Granite street before
the project Is entirely finished.

as the members of the Sunday school
progress along the school work. The
school has several very large and ac
tive adult classes that have stimulat
ed greatly the work of the church.
The superintendent. A. H. Dux
bury, has been the head of the Sun
day school since 1922 and is with
drawing from the active work of the
superintendent, he having notified
th meeting that he would serve only
until a successor could be secured as
the press of other demands on his
time was such as not to allow him
longer to continue in this position.

Louisville
Arms to Resist
Bank Robbers
Tip As to Visit of Bank Robbers
Causes Armed Guard to Be
Posted at Cement Town
From Saturday's Dally
Yesterday a report was current
over the county that a visit of bank
robbers in this section was to take
place and incidently that Louisville
was to be the scene of the opera
tions of the gang. The banks at
Louisville were preparing for hand
ling the cashing of checks of the
. employes of the Ash Grove Cement
Co., and which demanded that con
siderable amounts of currency atove
the usual amount on hand would be
at the banks.
As soon as the report was received
of the prospective visit of the rob
bers Reese Ilastain, president of the
Bank of Commerce, a former soldier
and his cashier, Ralph Larson, also
an ex-doughboy of world war ex
perience, proceeded to organize the
defense of the city from the robbers
and gangs of men with shotguns and
revolvers were situated near both of
the Ixjuisville banks, all ready to
repeal the attackers if they showed
KePJ, n xoaay as mis is me cmcai
paydav for the cement workers and
no chance is being taken as to the
robbers coming and looting the
banks.
Louisville has had the reputation
of dealing in a summary manner with
the gangs of robbers and several
years ago Fred Ossenkop, then post
master, proceeded to organize a
posse on the visitation of a gang of
robbers at one of the Louisville
stores, the result being that doctors
were busy in picking shot out of
the anatomy of the rohbers for sev
eral days ad one had the loss of a
leg as the result of the work of Mr.
Ossenkop and his posse.
The robber or gang that Invades
Louisville wants to come very quiet
ly and make a getaway In the same
manner or be prepared to face a real
battle from the residents of that
community.

mann. A FINE HIGHWAY
Resident of this section who are
fond of auto trips in the summer
season can find an easy route now to
the east with the completion of the
new traffic bridge over the Missouri
river, as this bridge will link up
highway No. 3 4 with the Nebraska
reads and giving a new trans-continental
route from the east and the
west. The paving on No. 34 in Iowa
stretches unbrokenly from Osceola,
Iowa, clear to the Atlantic, coast
while the greater part of the route
from Glen wood to Osceola is paved
and the remaining small sections
will all be connected in the spring
under the state highway program of
Iowa and giving the residents here
a paved road clear to the east coast.

DEPUTIES VISIT EAGLE
On Tuesday afternoon the town of
Eagle had a visit from a number of
the representatives of the etate sher
iff's office, and a general shaking:
over was given several places In that
village. The visit was fruitless aa
far as the greater part of the places
were concerned, although reports
here state that some mash was found
at one of the places visited and which,
was sent on Into Lincoln to be test-
i ed as to its nature and possibilities
in making liquor. Other places vis
ited failed to reveal anything of a
contraband nature.
