Representatives
of Many Cities
Here for Meeting
Discuss the Means of Providing Uni
form Ordinances to Deal With
Present Conditions
rm Thursday's Duny
This noon and afternoon there as
sembled in this citv a group of the
representatives of many of the citie
of eastern Nebraska, coming here at
the invitation of the retail section of
the Plattsmouth Chamber of Com
merce and to discuss the problems of
the several cities fa the way of occu
pation tax levies.
There were present representatives
from Nebraska City, including Mayor
Yaughn and Citv Clerk Henry Cleve.
Fremont. Auburn. Weeping Wan-.
Louisville. Elmwood. Tecumseh. Falls
Citv. Pawnee City and the members
of the local city council that have
in formation the ordinance for
Plattsmouth. as well as Mayor John
P. Sattler.
The smaller cities have in the pas'
had varying ordinances that pre
scribed different levies from each
other on the several lines of local
and foreign business enterprises and
it is the desire and purpose of the
meeting to formulate uniform ordi
nances that can grapple with the
needs of these cities and be just and
equitable to all parties, both local
and transcient.
This city has been discussing the
matter of revising their occupation
tax ordinance for the past year and
now feel that the time is ripe for all
of our neighboring cities as well as
our own to group their common needs
in an ordinance that can cover the
situations in the smaller towns and
stand litigation if necessary in the
courts.
The meeting was one of the great
est interest and many very able ideas
on the civic needs of the several
places were expressed by their repre
sentatives at the meeting, gathering
from each other many valuable ideas
that can be woven into practical ac
tion by means of city occupation tax
ordinances.
