Deny Injunction
in the Louisville
Bridge Squabble
Judge Begley at Papillion Refuses
Injunction to Stop Closing
Old Bridge
From Thursday's Dallv
This morning in the district court
at Papillion Judge James T. Regit y
handed down his opinion in the ease
wherein residents in and near Louis
ville sought to prevent the carrying
out of plans to abandon the old wa
gon bridge over the Platte river at
Louisville.
In his decision the court held
against the petitioners and denied
the request for the injunction, so
that the plans for the abandoning of
the old wooden bridge can go ahea'i
as soon as the new bridge is ready
for operation.
The decision is victory for the
bridge company that is erecting the
new bridge over the Platte and which
will be operated as a toll bridge, as
the commissioners of the county re
cently decided to grant the request
to change the road into the new
bridge, a fine modern steel and con
crete structure and which will take
the place of the old wooden bridge
which will now be abandoned.
The old bridge has been a free
structure for several years and a
number of the residents of Louis
ville and near that place have fought
the closing of the bridge on the
grounds that it was safe and should
be continued to be maintained as a
free structure.
Rains Cause
Damage to the
Pipe Lines
Heavy Rains Cause the Washing
Out of Dirt Used in Filling
Ditches of Lines
The rainfall of the present week
is causing more or less damage to
the ditches used by the Missouri
Valley Pipeline Co., to convey their
natural gas line from Texas through
Nebraska and western Jowa.
The rain following the dry sum
mer season has caused the settling
of dirt in the deep trenches and
where there is a line laid along the
hill sides as through this section of
Nebraska, the dirt has been washed
out of the ditches and will make it
necessarv to mpke new fills.
This condition is reported as pre
vailing very generally from the
Missouri river to Beatrice and will
mean quite a delay to the pipe line
company in getting the ditches back
in shape.
This company now has its lines
completed for a greater part of the
way in to Iowa and are now supply-
ing Council Bluffs with the natural
along the line in Nebraska.

ton crane which came from the south

John Bauer
Machine Shop
Going Forward
i
Stricture on Seventh Street to House
Machine Shop and Auto Re
pair Departments
John Bauer, well known plumber
and former automobile dealer, is hav
ing a large addition made on lis
property on North Seventh street
which is to house the machine shop
and auto repair departments of his
line of business.
Since leasing the largt- garage
building on Vine street to the Ser
vice Chevrolet Co.. Mr. Bauer has
had his machine shop in the former
Manspeaker livery barn on Main
street but desires a more modern and
up-to-date place for this line of
work, he having a very large demand
for work that requires an up-to-date
machine shop.
The building will be a fine addi
tion to the city cni wU located
for the use of the Bauer Co.. in
handling their auto work and other
lin-:-s that they specialize in.
The work on the building has been
under way for the past week and is
now getting to the stage where it
will not be long before the structure
can be occupied with the machine
shop and garage.
Associated
Charities to Need
Help Now
Donations Being Solicited to Help
Local Organization in Their
Christmas Work.
The Associated Charities compris
ing the united efforts of a number ot
the local social, service and religious
groups, are now starting in on the
winter work and as the conditions
this year are protending to be more
severe than last year it is making
more necessary than ever the closest
co-operation of the many organiz
ations that comprise the Associated
Charities.
The officers of the association are
W. G. Kieck, president, and Mrs. C.
A. Rosencrans. secretary-treasurer.
It is urged at this time that the
societies, clubs and other groups
that have been assisting in the work
of the charities make plans now for
the donation to the work at this
time, especially in the cash donations
that are largely used in the Christ
mas baskets and emergency work.
Last year the Associated Charities
handled some sixty-eight baskets fill
ed with the food and making of a
Christmas dinner and this year it is
expected that the number that will be
needed will be even larger.
At this time it is urged that the
different organizations that have
been in the habit in the past of re
membering their own needy, follow
the plan of last year and join in the
central body in the giving, supplying
their list to the Associated Charities
who in turn see that the parties are
supplied.
This organization also last year
handled a large number of cases of
child welfare and supplying glasses
to those with defective eyesight and
aiding in supplying the funds for
treatments for other minor physical
ailments. It was found that these
various phases of relief work could
best be handled from a central head,
avoiding a duplication in some cases
of relief and the overlooking of oth
ers. Those lodges, societies and other
organizations who so splendidly aid
ed last year are urged to again do
their bit in helping to make it easier
for the unfortunates.
Anton LeManna departed on the
early Burlington train today for
Omaha where he "will spend the week
end with his relatives and friends
and enjoying a short outing.

ices that they have given to the
