for Bridge Open
ing on May 16th
This and Possibility of Securing an
Inside Swimming Pool Occupies
Attention C of C Directors
From Thursday's daily
Plans for the official bridge open
ing ai.d dedication here on Fridav
May ICth, were among the important
things discussed at today's bi-weekly
Chamber of Commerce luncheon. A
tentative program was outlined that
will begin with the complimentary
luncheon for invited guests at 12:30,
being followed by the afternoon
ceremonies at the bridge. In order
to accommodate the large crowd, a
parking place will have to be arrang
ed at the east end of the bridge, and
it is quite probable a public address
system will be installed to carry the
voice of the different speakers into
the crowd. The bridge will be toll
free throughout the day and evening,
it was announced.
The putting over of a successful
dedicatory program will require a
lot of work and President Wescott
be?poke the co-operation of every
member of the directorate, who may
be called upon to serve on the dif
ferent committees, that will include
decorations, parade, music, luncheon,
parking, and several others.
Discnss Inside Swimming Pool
Chairman Duxbury of the Civic
Improvement committee reported on
Clean Up and Paint Up week, which
ended last Saturday night, and pro
posed to engage in the Better Lawns
and Gardens Contest, approval for
which was granted. He also spoke
of the need for an adequate athletic
field and urged the citizens get be
hind the proposition of establishing
such a field on the Tourist park
grounds.
Judge Begley spoke of the need of
a swimming pool here at home, to
avoid having to send students to
Bellevue weekly to take swimming
instruction, and this led to a sug
gestion by Searl Davis that the Ex
tension Engineering Service of the
state university be called upon .to
prepare plans and give a free esti
mate of the cost of converting the
old high school building into a suit
able indoor pool that could be used
the year 'round. On motion this
was ordered done and at the same
time the school board expects to se
cure some suggestions from the engi
neer sent here regarding the laying
out of a suitable athletic field in the
Tourist park and adjoining premises,
which they have recently acquired.
To Finish North Paving Soon
Several other routine matters were
referred to committees for investiga
tion and report at the next meeting
two weeks hence.
Judge Begley introduced the guest
at today's luncheon, Mr. Wickersham,
who has charge of paving operations
for the Roberts Construction company
on the road north of town, and who
stated that seven working days will
wind up their part of the work, and
that ten days later the ribbon of con
crete extending from the end of Web
ster boulevard to the curve beyond
(lien Vallery's place will be thrown
open to traffic.
Completion of this work, and the
rock asphalt surfacing on to the
present detour corner just south of
Oreapolis, will leave but two unpaved
stretches between this city and Om
aha, one at Fort Crook, where loca
tion of a viaduct over the tracks and
Pappio creek is holding up work, and
, the stretch from LaPlatte south to
Oreapolis, where other grade cross
ings are to be reckoned with.
The meeting was adjourned at
1:15.
INQUIRE AS TO WRECK
Deputy Sheriff Kex Young, who
was on the scene of the accident
north of this city a week ago Tues
day shortly after the Missouri Paci
fic train and auto had a tie on the
Stull crossing, has received inquiries
from St. Jospeh, Missouri, the home
of the men who were injured in the
auto wreck.
Ray Browne, the driver of the
car, who was the least injured of
the two men, regained consciousness
some time after being taken to the
hospital at Omaha and found a card
of Mr. Young in his pocket and as
he and his companion, Mr. Kessler,
were unacquainted here, the card
was used by the attorneys for Mr.
Browne in communicating with the
Plattsmouth man.
The county authorities have no
word as to the outcome of the fate
of C. A. Kessler, the man who was
the most severely iniured in the ac
cident altho efforts were made to
learn of his whereabouts, but it is
evident that he survived the in
juries or notification would have
been given the local ofneers.
JOHN WOLFF BETTER
John F. Wolff, who was suffering
with pleurisy for the past three
weeks, is now able to be up and
around some, altho he still is feel
ing the effects of the illness. Mr.

extent.

Natural Gas
Line Expected
in Three Months
Pipes Are Being Brought to Nebraska
Territorp for New Line From
the Texas Fields
Natural gas to serve the residents
of this section of Nebraska in three
months is the promise of the United
Light & Power Co., officials at Lin
coln, who are now on the ground to
supervise the work of the placing of
the line that is to come through this
section and cross the Missouri river
near this city and thence on to Des
Moines and Chicago.
This line will be controlled by a
group of the largest utility interests
in the country and of which the
Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Co.,
is a part, the gas to be used to serve
the various communities m which
the Iowa-Nebraska company is oper
ating. The line will give many ad
ditional cities that are now without
the service of either artificial or na
tural gas the advantages of a mod
ern and up to date gas line that
can serve for light, heat and power.
The representatives of the United
Light & Power Co., as well as Frank
H. Erooks, president of the Iowa
Nebraska Light & Power Co., are of
the opinion that the line can be com
pleted through this part of Nebras
ka and the necessary changes made
in the plants now used to manufac
ture illuminating gas so that the
natural gas can be handled through
the existing mains. In other places
however, it will be necessary to lay
new lines of mains to handle the
gas.

Sokol Society
Offers Grounds
for New Park
Desire to Have Swimming Pool Creat
ed in New Park on the West
Side of the City
From Saturday's DaT
The members of the Tel Jed Sokol
Society, whose large hall on west
Pearl street was recently burned to
the ground, met last night to de
cide cn the disposition to be made of
the property.
It was the unanimous decision of
the members of the society that they
donate the half black of ground
which was used as a park around the
hall, to the city of Plattsmouth to
gether with the sum of $600 to be
used in fixing up the grounds and
the conversion of the former base
ment of the building into a swim
ming pool.
The society is desirious of having
a swimming pool created from the
site of the former hall and which
would, it is estimated by the mem
bers, make an ideal place with the
expenditure of a little money and
which it is thought would be covered
by the $000 that the society wishes
to donate to the project.
The matter will be placed before
the Chamber of Commerce as well
as the mayor and city council to en
list their aid if possible in secirinc
this much needed addition as a re
creation place and especially on the
west side where there is no park at
the present time.
The society makes only the re
quest that the city permit the park
to be named the Tel Jed Sokol park
in honor of the society that has for
so many years been active in the
fraternal and social life of the com
munity. ENTERTAINS FOR FRIENDS
