weather was perfect, the ceremonies
simple but dignified and the public
ity therefrom incalculable. When
we consider that this fine new bridge
was built and dedicated without (ail
ing for a dime from our citizens in
private subscriptions it is quite not
able in comparison with other s-rni-lar
projects.
".Next I recall that a year ago we
were blocked off on all sides by de
tours and road construction. Today
we have one of the best paved roads
in the state running practically
from the north to the south sid.; of
our county through Plattsmouth.
The remaining gap I understand is
soon to be closed by the letting of
the contract for a viaduct across the
tracks at La Platte. From the west
we now have three graveled roads
and from the east a most scenic and
satisfactory graveled road including
the Memorial Livingston Drive and
the new viaduct. We have not yet
realized the full benefits from this
much improved road system enter
ing Plattsmouth. but we will as peo
ple become habituated to this eauy
access to ond city.
"During the year 1930. Platts
mouth has become the focal point for
two giant pipe line systems from
the Natural ('.as fields of Texas. One
of these lines is already furnishing
natural gas to our city, and the
other is fast laying its pipes to this
point. Roth of these 24 inch mains
cross the Missouri rivtr here one
on the new bridge and the other by
a series of 10 pipes in the bed of
the river. The building of these lines
and crossings has brought to Platts
mouth Tor the time being, a major
industry with the consequent dis
tribution of thousands of dollars in
our midst lor labor and materials.
More than that, it has put Phitts
mouih in a strategic position as re
lates to fuel for industrial develop
ment. No other city on the Missouri
river can offer to industry two com
peting trunk lines of natural gas,
guaranteeing them such adequate
and economical and efficient fuel.
"During the past year distinct and
definite plans have been crystallized
and made effective by Congre3 for
the improvement of the upper Mis
souri river from St. Joseph to Sioux
City. Already engineers have been
in our midst making surveys and
soundings and they are onl- the ad
vance guard of these who will fol
low them in the further prosecution
of this great project. We can look
forward with confidence to the open
ing of actual operations along our
river front in the near future. Your
Chamber of Commerce has not been
unmindful of this new development
'nut has sought to keep in touch with
it through various sources. We are
expecting probably sometime this
month, to have with
Directors luncheons,
gineer in charge cf
ns at one of our
the district en
t his pjrtion of
tho work.
"Another thing we can congrat
ulate ourselves upon, is the steady
emploj meat of our shop men both at
the Burlington and the BRfSX .hops.
Many shop towns during 1930 have
suffered prolonged shut downs and re
duction of forces while our men have
been steadily employed in most part.
This has contributed materially to
minimizing our unemployment prob
lem of which we can say in compari
son with other cities is practically
nil.
"Another thing of importance to
our city which should not be over
looked is the operation in our im
mediate vicinity of three large gravel
pits two of them operating night and
day during the busy season. As evi
denced of the magnitude of this in
dustry there were 15.000 carloads of
sand and gravel billed out of Platts
mouth during 19:0, to say nothing of
the hundreds of truck loads hauled
out. This is an item not to lie over
looked. "Now under the heading Special
Chamber of Commerce projects, I
want to mention first and foremost
the graveling of the Louisville road
and auxiliary roads thereto. This is
a project long sought after and be
set with many difficulties, but final
ly realized. This opens to Platts
mouth one of its most productive
. erritories and connects us with the
tl riving little city of Louisville and
;t , monster cement plant. This alone
is an achievement worthy of our
tal and would not have been real
:ed but for the aggressive work of
the Good Roads Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, both past and
pr sent.
"Another road project of the
CI amber of Commerce was tne grav
li::g of the hill road to the Rifle
I'ange. This was sponsored and aid-
d by our organization and aside
from benefitting the residents adja
cent permits the army to place manu
vetfl and operations here at any time
of year irrespective of weather.
While this may not appear to be of
large benefit, yet it brings men and
money into 'our community which
otherwise would not come and af
fords us reciprocal and favorable re
lations with the officers at Fort
Crook.
"And while the new road and via
duct to the bridge could not be call
ed strictly a Chamber of Commerce
project, yet it was sponsored and
guided by our Road Committee in
conjunction with the State, the
county, the city, the Burlington and
the Bridge Company. It was a pro
ject fraught with many difficulties
but today is an accomplishment we
are greatly proud of.
"Now the things we have co-oper-ated
with during the year are many
and I mention them briefly:

council in obtaining plans and
specification for the New High
School Stadium.

ties which I have overlooked as it is
imprssib! to give offhand without
systematic checking of records, all
the happenings of the year, but these
will suffice to show that your Cham
ber of Commerce has not been asleep.
"Before ieaving this I want to

I old properties and make them tax

"These are only suggestions, no
I doubt there are others and perhaps
we should select three or rour anu
concentrate on them that is for you
to say.
"Now in conclusion, as your Presi
dent for the past year, T wish to ex
press my sincere appreciation of the
loyal co-operation and support of
the Board of Directors, the people at
large and particularly the three offi
cers who have worked so faithfully
with me on the Executive Committee,
Frank Bestor, Fred Rea and Geo.
Petring. Every one of them, busy
men yet they have always been
willing to drop their own work for
that of the Chamber of Commerce.
Neither can I refrain from express
ing my appreciation to my able office
secretary, Mrs. Wm. Heinrich, for
her efficient and painstaking help,
without which much of the work
could not have been carried on.
"In closing, I bespeak for my suc
cessor the same loyal support ac
corded me, and with sincerity I wish
you all a Prosperous and Happy
Nineteen Hundred Thirty-One."
The question of the election of
officers of the club was then taken
up and the urgent request received
from President Wescott that he be
allowed to retire at this time after
his services of three years as he felt
that his community service had been
sufficient to now allow him to devote
more of his time to his own private-
business interests.
The members were not of the mood
to allow the president to retire but
his attitude was one that all appre
ciated and recognized and in view
of the fine work that he has done
for the community it was felt that
he was deserving of having his re
quest granted.
The selection of a president prov
ed a real problem as those nominated
declined and for a snort time it
seemed that the office would remain
unfilled until the general demand of
all those present for immediate ac
tion and the election of H. A. Sch
neider to the office was carried amid
the greatest enthusiasm from every
one except Mr. Schneider. It was
with great reluctance that Mr. Sch
neider was induced to accept the
office but as the prospect of securing
any willing president the nominee
finally in the interest of the commun
ity service that the Chamber of Com
merce has and will do, decided to
accept the presidency and devote to
it what time he could in his other
busy activities as head of the Platts
mouth State bank. The spirit shown
by Mr. Schneider was a fine example
'f nersonal sacrifice for the work eif
the community as the office has con
stant problems that take much time
and personal endeavor which i- ;
business man means a great deal of
sacrifice.
For the office of Vive President,
Seal S. Davis was named unanimous
ly and will act as the second In com
mand of the Chamber of Commerce.
Fred I. Re'1, who has given the
office of treasurer of the Chamber
of Commerce a real administration,
was unanimously elected to the office
again as a tribute to his careful and
thorough methods of handling his
office.
TT e secretary will be named by the
president as will the members of the
executive committer of the Cham
ber of Commerce.
In the reports of the various com
mit tees H. A. Schneider of the good
roads committee reportetl that the
committee had aided the Louisville
road graveling proposition and felt
that the graveling of the Rock Bluff
road in thf coming season was an
objective that should be leoked for
ward to by the Chamber and the citi
zens of the community.
J. W. Holmes of the amusement
committee reported that the band
concerts had been held for the pasl
season and that to this the Chamber
of Commerce had given $75. the re
tail section $75 and the city of Platts
mouth $4 50.
T. H. Pollock of the agriculture
eoirmittee reported that the Tri
County Poultry association wished to
hold their show here again in 1931
after two very successful years in
the shows at this city.
E. A. Wurl of the retail section
reported that there had been the
finest spirit of harmony and co-operation
among the members on the
various business matters that came
up and that in their program they
hael urged the lighting of the store
windows at night, while the largest
activity had been the staging of the
visit of Santa Claus and the decora
tion of the city streets during the
holiday season that had been wide
ly commented on.
A. II. Duxbury of the civic im
provement committee reported that
this committee had workeel with the
city and board of education in the
securing of the new high school ath
letic field as well that the city now
had a cabin tourist park owned by
Francis Toman at the south boun
dary of the city. He also touched on
the success of the clean up campaign
and better gardens campaign of last
spring.
E. H. WESCOTT. SECRETARY
President H. A. Schneider of the
Chamber of Commerce, while taking
the ejffice with reluctance, has enter
ed on the service with his usual vig
or and wideawake boosting spirit and
this morning as the first act of his
regime made the announcement of
the appointment of E. H. Wescott as
the secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce. Mr. Wescott was secretary of
the club a number of years ago when
Mr. Schneider was president and
Henry and Hilt made a reai combina
tion in the affairs of the then Com
mercial club. The new secretary was
loth also to take office but recogniz
ing the sacrifices that the president
was making in taking his office, de
cided to join in and do his bit to
ward keeping the Chamber of Com
merce at the same high standard
that has been established by the out
going president. C. C. Wescott. and
doing their best for the advancement
of Plattsmouth.
Building-Loan
System Marks
Hundredth Year
Campaign Planned to Promote More
Home Building; and Saving
Stock to Be Issued
Building a' 1 loan associations of
the United states completed 100
years of business Jan. 3.
A nation-wide campaign is being
inaugurated for the promotion of
more home building and increased
saving, according to plans announc
ed by the United States Building and
Loan League.
Thrift, home, and cooperation have
been the thoughts persistently em
phasized by cooperative associations.
That there Bball be a better under
standing of their value, 1000 com
munities have been urged to join in
the campaign. Radio talks and pag
eants depicting the history of the
associations have been arranged.
Building and loan societies were
first known in England as early as
17S1, although cooperatives of a ccr
tain type were active date. They first
appeared in the United States in 18:51
with the formation of the Oxford
Provident Building Association in
Frankford. a suburb of Philadelphia
The original association proved suc
cessful and methods were improved,
until in 1851 associations became an
established part of American institu
tions.
Encouraged by
news of the success
and loan plan in
he had come. J re
calico maker, con-
of the building
England, whence
mi ah Horrock, a
ceived the idea
of establishing an
association in Frankford.
those who joined him in
and among
the venture
were Samuel Piling, of the dyeing
business: Dr. Henry Taylor, of the
medical profession; Isaac ShaJlcross
of the teaching profession: Jesse
Castor, of the legal profession, and
Isaac Whitelock, who made carriage
wheels.
Like many a pioneer building and
i loan organization, the Oxford Provi
dent, as this first association war.
! called, had its beginning in a back
parlor, the back parlor. In t act. en' a
tavern. But most of the founelers be
ing, according to the records, pledged
to abstinence from intoxicating
drinks, the only significance attach
ed to the holding of the meeting at
the tavern is that its proprietor.
; Thomas Sidebotham. was a well wish
er of the venture. The first house
financed by the Oxford Provident, on
! Orchard Street. Philade lphia, is still
standing. And perhaps there exlsl ;
no better example of good manage
ment for the home buyer than the
way in which this house was bought
by Comly Rich out of the meager
salary of a lamplighter.
Copies of the treasurer's report of
the original association, preserved in
the vault of the Frankford Histori
cal Society, will serve as souvenirs at
the dinner observances all over the

benefit of
j those who do not attend. K. Holtby
Myers, president of the league, will

Angeles which will bo radiocast over
a nation-wide hook-up.
Stock Is I.st'.ed
The basic pi in of il.esn associa
tion is the issuing of stock, whicb
is paifl for in monthly Installments,
and the lending of the money thai
raised to shareholelers. It has been
a common practice to give the shares
a maturing value of $200 each on
which $1 per share per month is
paid over the entire period daring
which they are accumulating their
part value.
These shares are issued In serle:;.
at stateel intervals, and eacb series
extending from Coronation Gulf to
runs its separate course in maturing.
Borrowers are required to hold at
least that number of shares whose
par value equals the principal of the
loan.
In addition to their monthly dues
borrowers pay a monthly Installment
of interest on the loan. In Massa
chusetts the monthly interest pay
ment is the same as the monthly pay
ment on the shares where the rate is
6 per cent. In some states Interest is
charged on the unpaid monthly bal
ance only. The proportion 'Of the
monthly payment applied as Interest
against the lo;.n constantly decrease i
and the proportion applied against
the debt constantly increase's.
To illustrate how these associa
tions help a man of small means let
it be supposed he has purchased a
lot of land and desires to erect a
house. To effect a loan of $5000 he
goes to the association and sub
scribes for 25 shares or stock of a
par value of $200. paying merero.-e
$50 a month, of which half of the
first payment is applied to principal
and half to interest. The bank may
lend an amount equal to 8 0 per cent
of the fair market value of the house.
Every month or every few months
there will be money to be lent. When
money is in brisk demand it is the
policy of the associations to offer it
to the highest bidder. The amount of
the premium thus paid is added to
the principal of the loan and the
borrower is required to cover it with
an equal value of shares on which
he pays dues, as well as interest each
month.
Money Paid to Euilder
If the premium he pays for the
$5000 loan is $600, he takes out
three more shares and pays there
after $3 a month more in dues. The
money lent for building a house does
not pass into the hands of the bor
rower but is paid directly by the as
sociation to the builder as the work
progresses.
The plan appeals to the wage earn
er because of easy payments. It ap
peals to the small borrowers since it
affords them a sort of savings bank
and encourages saving. Massachu
setts co-operatives have furnished
an excellent example of this element
of safety for, it is authoritatively
stated, not since their incorporation
in 1877 have the shareholelers lost
as much as 1 cent.
Such institutions under varying
names exist in the United States to
a total of more than 12,0o accord
ing to the reports. They include l:;.
000,000 members and have assets of
nearly $9,000,000,000.
Originally these associations were
confined to a town or locality, no
loan being made beyonel the terri
tory where mest of the members liv
ed and knew the value of the prop
erty. But within recent years both
state and national associations have
been organized, which tfo business
anywhere within the limits of their
territory. The management is usual
ly lodged in a board of directors
chosen from among the shareholders
and whose members serve without
pay.
In 1930 the league's headquarters
moved from Cincinnati to Chicago,
where its directors are planning a
five-year expansion program to add
another billion dcdlars to the na
tional assets of the business. To pro
vide for more effective service to the
field, the league was reorganized and
the office of executive manager es
tablished, with H. Morton Bodflsh,
formerly of Northwestern University,
serving In that capacity.

in the Tablets Home family. It DO tl
$10.15 a meal for these 144. or 7c
I per person pe-r meal. I hey receive
good food and good care but they
can feed them so cheaply because
they receive food supplies nearly all
the year round from the Lutheran
congregations of the United Lutheran
I Church in this territory and besides
from many friends. And Tabitha
iHome has many friends. Twenty dol
llars will pay for two meals, that, is
iwhat I will apply it to.
Folks I wish to thank you! You
i not only keep the wolves away from
the doors but you even make them
serve to feed the poor, the old and
the helpless, and the orphans.
I thank you,
A. LBNTZ, Pastor
Eight Mile Grove Luth
eran Church.
