New Road to
Bridge a Scenic
D
riveway
To be Well Lighted at Night with
Placing- of New Light Contract
in Effect March 15th.
Livingston Road, the scenic drive
way to the new Missouri river bridge.
is to be a well-lighted thoroughfare
with the putting into the effect of the
new lighting contract which was re
ceritly approved by the city council,
and which becomes effective on March
irth. Beginning at the new viaduct
over the shop tracks and extending
along this route to the extreme city
limits there will be lights at regular
intervals, all of 100 or more candle
power and including the large 400
candlepower light at the juncture of
this road with First street at the top
ot uintersteen hill.
The new viaduct is now completed
and in service, many cars passing
over it daily.
As soon as the highway is gravel
ed, the Chamber of Commerce expects
to take active steps to having this
made the official route of the Hard
ing Highway, a promise that was
given the civic body's committee b3'
the Harding Highway officials two
or three years ago when possibility
of securing a bridge was considered
rather remote.
The new grade, which is to be des
ignated as Livingston Drive, is truly
a. scenic route, as by wide curves it
approaches the summit of the hills
along the west bank of the Big Muddy
and leads onto the bridge. Extensive
guard rail is provided in the engi
neer's specifications and this will be
placed at an early date along with
the gravel surfacing.
Completion of the viaduct means
the discarding of the old route across
the shop tracks and the widening of
the grade at the peak of the hill to
lose the makeshift route that it has
been necessary to follow while the
grade and viaduct were under- con
struction the past couple of months.
The activity of the Chamber of
Commerce In getting the bridge ball
rolling and keeping behind it and the
road until they have been pushed!
across the goal line Is only one of
several lines of endeavor to benefit
our community this organization has
in mind. Docks and harbor is anoth
er most important one; Industrial ex
pansion; home ownership and im
provement; a tourist cabin camp,
etc.. are Just a few of the others. The
support and co-operation of individ
ual members will go a long ways to
ward helping put over such an exten
sive program.
If you haven't joined yet, get your
name on the 1930 roll call. The cost
is very small only $5 for an entire
year, and even this may be divided
into quarterly payments if desired.
There is room in the Chamber of
Commerce for every property owner,
citizen and laborer in Plattsmouth.
The interest of one is the identical
interest of another. In other words,
when our town expands and progres
ses, as it rightfully Bhould, we ail
prosper accordingly; when it fails to
advance, it goes backward, because
there is no such thing as standing
still, and we all suffer the conse
quences. The coming year should be one ot
great advancement. It will witness
the completion of our all-paved high
way extending north and south from
Plattsmouth, the securing of the
transcontinental Harding highway,
a stupendous effort being applied to
interest small industries in locating
here and various other assets that can
be' capitalized upon most profitably.
A SPLENDID RECORD
There has been a family in this
city that has made a real record in
the educational work of the Platts
mouth city schools, this being the
Tamily of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Olson,
who with the graduating of Miss
Clara Olson this spring, will mark
seven members of the family that
have graduated from the local school.
Air. Olson has been engaged here in
carpenter work and it is a real tri
bute to he and his wife that they
have been able to send all of their
children through the schools and see
them attain high rank in their
classes, as all seven of the members
of the family have been among the
leading students of the Plattsmouth
high school. This is also a testi
monial to the worth of the public
school that offers to every child the
opportunity for . education, and to
the parent that has striven to see
that the educational opportunities
could be enjoyed by the child.
RIVER IS FALLING
From Tuesday's Dally
The Missouri river at this point
Is the lowest for some time as it
shows a fall of some two feet in the
last forty-eight hours. The river
has been full of floating ice for some
time and it is thought by those fam
iliar with the river that the sudden
fall is due probably to a large gorge
formed at some point farther up the
river and which is holding bck the
water. So far no reports of any
large gorges have been received here
and it Is probable the gorge ie at
some point considerably north of
Omaha.

fed to the fishes were such as to make
even the most hardened lover of the
potent beverages shudder at the
strange formations that had gather
ed in the jars and bottles.
This liquor is held until the cases
that they were used as evidence have
terminated and then destroyed by

break into the store and make their
getaway before the robbery was dis
covered when the, store was opened
this morning.
The entrance to the store was

wooden bar that held the door and
turning the latch entrance to the
store was open to them.

Omar flour, seven freight 100 pound
sacks of shorts, a large amount ot
cigarettes and some tobacco, several
sacks of sugar and boxes of P. & G.

made in the political arena when
County Treasurer John E. Turner
filed for re-election to the office
that he has held for the past four
3'ears. Mr. Turner will be a can
didate for the nomination on the re
publican ticket to the office that hr?
has so capably filled in the past.
Mr. Turner is completing his first
term in the treae-surer's office and
has proven a most efficient officer in
handling the large amount of busi
ness that the office handles and is
practically the head of a $1,000,000
business as the funds handled
amounts to close this sum each year

over the county that pass through

the county offices. Mr. Turner is
young and capable of handling the
heavy burden of the office and has
organized a most effective office force
that keeps the business of the treas
