Talk Zoning
and River Front
Improvements
Two Policies Advocated in a Round
Table Discussion Report on
Free Bridge Measure.
From Thursday s ratly
Numerous absentees were noted in
today's roJl call at the noon-day C
of C. luncheon, among them President
C. C. Wescott, who is detained at his
home by a severe cold, but reported
improving. In his absence. Vice Pres
ident Frank Bestor presided over the
business session.
Prominent among the reports re
ceived was that from Chairman Kieck
of the Legislative committee, who
read excerpts from a bill introduced
in Congress by Senator Brookhart, of
Iowa, which provides for an annual
appropriation during the next ten
years sufficient in size to take over
and make free the various toll bridges
over government streams. On mo
tion the Legislative committee was
empowered to inform Nebraska con
gressmen of the civic body's approval
of this bill. Plattsmouth"s new Mis
souri river bridge comes under this
classification and if priority is exer
cised in the order of purchase when
the bill is passed should be among
the earlier ones to be taken over and
made toll free under the terms of
this federal enactment.
Chairman Clement of the Indus
trial committee rendered an interest
ing report of opportunity being re
opened to get a garment factory here
during the current year.
Following the report of other com
mittees, a brief time was given over
to round table discussion, during
which suggestions were offered that
a zoning ordinance be adopted and
that gradual efforts be applied to
building up bottom land adjoining
the Burlington railway and Missouri
river front for factory sites, which
would be available when river navi
gation becomes a reality a few years
hence.
The zoning proposition was refer
red to the Legislative committee for
investigation and to bring in a report j
at next meeting as to how the state
law affects cities of our classification
in this respect.
Chairman Rea of the Budget com
mittee submitted the proposed budget
of expenditures for the coming year,
comparing the various items with the
amount expended on like enterprises
last year, and which was on motion
approved.
Mr. Rea also reported that work
ers on his committee had been un
able to see near all of the list of
eligible names in their possession as
to membership, but stated that the
response from those seen is running
well nowi 100 per cent, only now and

will be of particular interest to the
people of Plattsmouth and vicinity
The one referred to is that of help
ing the government making the Mis
souri river navigable from Kansas
City, Missouri to Sioux City. Iowa.
When this work is completed it
will place Plattsmouth on our maps
as one of our inland water way ports,
and give her the cheapest transpor

great good to all her people.
The Government's program of in

to i2 Great Game
From Thursday's Dally
The Benson Bunnies, claimants to

as well as claiming varied other

league,
suburb
widely
ing up'

last night on what had been
press a gen ted as a "warm
' game, and when the fleet-
footed warriors of Coach Rothert had
nnisneu witn tne Bunnies tnev were
warmed up all right Benson win
ning by the score of 24 to 22 and
in a battle that only a few brief
seconds of play gave to the visitors
the closest of margins.
Coach Adams, who has dreams of
another city title for his team, de
cided to start the reserves against
the Platters, but hardly had the game
started when the SOS came 4 hat re
sulted in the regular Benson quintet
being rushed into the line to try and
check the Plattsmouth tornado that
was engulfing the rosy dreams of
an easy victory for the Bunnies.
In the opening of the game the
Platters swept into the front with a
basket by McCrary, who with his
fellow guard. Captain Roy Turner,
was plenty hot and these two boys
were largely responsible tor rocking
the hopes of the Bunnies and keep
ing the game as close as it was. The
Platters at the end of the first quar
ter had the margin of 7 to 5.
With the second quarter tame the
substitution of the Benson entire first
team for the reserves and this spur
red the Platters on as Johnny Gallo
way, McCrary and Turner each
wung a field goal and Turner a
free toss, while Haggarty of the
visitors was the only successful bas
ket shooter and made two bingles.
The score at the half was 14 to 10
for Plattsmouth.
The third quarter saw Egbert of
the visitors score two baskets for
the Bunnies and Haggarty also
added two to his list while Mumm
was the only member of the local
team that registered, and Benson
held a IS to 10 lead at the whistle.
The last period of the game was
the real thriller, however, and was
a fight all of the way by both teams
and the efforts to envelop Galloway
resulted in his securing a free toss
while Turner again stood out as
the chief shooter of the locals with
two baskets and a free toss, the last
field goal coming in the last minute
of play and to tie the score for a
few seconds until a long shot by
Egbert gave the visitors a two point
margin.
In the free tosses Plattsmouth
made but four out of eleven tries
while Benson made four out of six
good.
As the curtain raiser the Benson
seconds defeated the Platter second
string team by the score of 20 to 14.

Sand - Gravel
Pits Near City
are Now Active
Warming Weather Causes Resump
tion of Activities at These Pits
for Summer Season
From Friday's Dav
The sand and gravel pits north
ami west of this city owned by the
lyman-Richey Co.. are now resum
ing their activity after the winter
season when the work was closed
down. The coming of the warm
weather has caused many of the road
projects in this part of the west to
he resumed and creating an increas
ing demand for the sand and gravel
and accordingly the local pits are be
coming more active.
The pits employe a large number
during the summer and fall season
and are now gradually getting down
to the operation and in March should
be at their full capacity in supplying
the gravel and other material to this
part of the west.
Many of the former employes are
being called back into the service of
the company and will be kept busy
from now on in the turning out of
the gravel that is being called for
in increasing demands.
The plants are operating only the
day shifts at the present time altho
in the busiest seasons of the summer
months the pits are kept working day
and night.
FATHER VERY LOW
From Friday's Dally
Judge and Mrs. James T. Begley
are at Omaha where Mr. Hayhow,
father of Mrs. Begley. is very low
at the Methodist hospital where he
has been for some time and his con
dition is such as to cause the great
est of appresension to the members
of the family. Mr. Hayhow is one
of the prominent residents of Papil
lion and has for some time been in
failing health but in the last few
days his condition has grown much
more serious.
TO LOCATE AT PERU
From Friday's Dally
Herman Sullivan of this city. Is to
open during the coming week a fine
sandwich shop at Peru, the build
ing being remodeled and redecorated
for his use and having a fine loca
tion near the state normal school as
well as on the main highway that
leads through the town and which
it is expected will be the detour of
highway No. 75 the coming summer
while the highway is being worked
over.
Advertising of
New Bridge to
be Extensive
Campaign Awaits Only Hard Surfac
ing of New Roadway Viaduct
Now Nearing Completion
From Friday's DulTv
Extensive advertising of the new
Plattsmouth bridge is to be started
in the near future, the bridge com
pany holding off inviting traffic this
way until the completion of the via
duct over the shop tracks and gravel
ing of the new Livingston road, the
grading of which was only recently
completed. As soon as the viaduct
is in shape to drive over, it is expect
ed that the state will press the grav
ing contractor to go right ahead with
his part of the work.
Advertising the new route will be
carried on in various forms, including
road signs at highway intersections
as far east as Burlington and west to
Hastings, or bevond. maps, etc. It
has also been suggested that printed
slips for enclosure in letters sent out
by Plattsmouth business houses be
provided, with a picture of the bridge
and a map of this through route to
points west that will pass thru Lin
coin and permit tourists to view the
grandeur of our magnificent new cap
itol building now nearing complet
ion. In the architectural centers of
the country this building is attract
ing great attention and pictures of it
are appearing in all the architectural
and builders' magazines.
Another great advantage of this
route is that by mid-summer or fall
at latest it will be a continuous rib
bon of concrete clear through to the
Atlantic seaboard. Being laid under
the new federal specifications, this
route is free from the sharp curves
so prevalent along the Lincoln high
way through Illinois, and is every
bit as short from here to Chicago as
the older route.
Already considerable tranic is
crossing the bridge daily, but the
bridge company is making no effort
to invite tranic this way, until they
can assure motorists a good road to
drive over. Just now the new high
way is in splendid shape, but a sud
den rain or slushy snow that might
melt before it could be scraped off
the road would make it impassable
and beget criticism.
With the coming of the summer
season and its heavy tourist traffic,
travel over the bridge here should
increase by leaps and bounds as soon
as the bridge company starts its ad
vertising campaign and let's the
world know "we have a bridge at
Plattsmouth."
DEDICATE DINING ROOM
From Saturday's Dall)
Yesterday afternoon a very de
lightful event occurred at the high
school where the girls of the Home
Economics classes under the direction
of Miss Haley, held an afternoon tea
in honor of their mothers and
friends. The guests numbered about
thirty and thoroughly enjoyed the
short program presented by the girls
in the sewing room.
Tea was served in the new dining
room which was being used for the
first time. This is the room at the
west end of the first floor which for
some time past has not been used.
Miss Haley and the Home Economics
club conceived the idea of redecorat
ing this room as a dining room. For
some weeks past they have been at
work on this project and yesterday
heard many complimentary remarks
in regard to the work which they had
done. Instead of a cluttered-up store
room at the end of the hall to be
seen by everyone going either to the
gymnasium or auditorium, a very at
tractive room may now be seen with
the walls redecorated, the floors and
furniture refinished and attractive
curtains on the windows. That this
work was done entirely by the girls
is a tribute to them and also to their
teacher, Miss Haley.
After a short address of welcome
by Beulah Blodgett, president of the
Home Economics club, Mary Ellen
Byers acted as master of ceremonies.
A pantomime, 'Tit for Tat." was pre
sented by Catherine Terryberry, Opal
Haley and Elizabeth Hatt. Mary
Benak played two piano solos: "Mis
erere" from "II Trovatore." and
"Minuet in G" by Beethoven. Ellen
Tysor read a short monologue entitled
"Mother Does Without." Thelma
Hutchison was heard in a vocal solo.
"When Its Springtime in the Rockies"
This part of the program was con
cluded by a violin and piano duet by
Mary Benak and Rose Woster.
One of the most interesting fea
tures of the program, was the style
showing dresses made by the girls
of the advanced class. This was a
splendid exhibition of the fine type
of work that is being done by these
girls.
The guests were very complimen
tary in their praise of Miss Haley and
the girls for the event was evidence
of the splendid work that is being
done in the Home Economics depart
ment. Mrs. O. O. Thomas of Lincoln was
here Friday afternoon for a short
visit here with the friends in this
city.
