School Warrants
Meet Defeat
Small Majority for Increasing School
Capacity but Lack Necessary
Sixty Per Cent
The annual school meeting drew a
large and enthusiastic crowd of vot
ers Monday ev(ning. there being 207
voters present and voting.
The Incentive for such a large at
tendance was the question of author
izing the issuing of $10,000 in war
rants for the construction of four ad
ditional rooms to the present school
building, When the votes were
counted it was found that the prop
oaitlOB had received 135 votes in
favor of issuing the warrants and
182 votes were registered against is
suing warrants. The proposal was
accordingly lost, as a GO per cent ma
jority is necessary to carry such a
pro position.
School Treasurer C. J. Pankonin
reported that there was now on hand
in tuitions $7,54. which had been
placed in a sinking fund for build
ing purposes and it was stated that
It is the intention of the board of
education to use this money to pro
vide a temporary adidtion which can
he added to at some later date.
The increase in taxes and the gen
eral depression at the present time
is credited with defeating the addi
tional levy at this time. Tiie assess
ed valuation of the school district
was given by Secretary C. W. Mer
riam as $1 ,tiS6.608. The expenditure
for schol purposes last year w as
$1,186. In making the levy for the
Coming year, P. A. Jacobson moved
that the levy be placed at $15,000.
The motion did not receive a second
and D. W. Webb thoo moved that
the levy be placed at $20.0o0. This
motion was seconded by Dr. E. H.
Worthman. There were 23 votes for
this amount and none opposing.
With the amount of cash on hand
available for school purposes. Chair
man P. C. Stander stated that the
$20,000 levy will leave a surplus of
about $5,000 for the coming year,
which is really about one-half of
the amount asked by the board, al
though the board is powerless to
build the four room addition because
of the vote on the proposition. In
other words, we will raise half the
needed money in a single year, but
cannot spend it in advance as was
lire posed. Louisville Courier.

RAIDS FISH POOLS
Plattsmouth people who have es
tablished pools in their yards atid
have stocked the pools "with gold
and other varieties of fish, have been
suffering from the inroads of the
most skillful of fishermen the King
fisher, a bird that lives on fish and
is found around the creeks and rivers
of the country.
The open pools with the clear
water and the golden hued fish have
proved a renl temptation to the
Kingfisher and he has been kept very
busy around the various homes where
the pools are maintained. The own
Sri of the pools have been wondering
as to the cause of the disappearance
!of their fish and the depredation was
charged to some person or the fishing
ability of the neighborhood cats un
til one of the pool owners witnessed
; t lie attack of the b'rd on the fish and
now the owners are taking the pre
caution of placing netting over the
, pools to stop the mortality among
their stock of fish.

Railroads Seek
Rates Increase
of 15 Per Cent
Petition Will Be Filed with Inter
state Commerce Commibsion at
Once by Committee.
New York. June 11. The presi
dents of eatttern, southern and
ern railroads meeting here today ol
ad unanimously to petition the Inter
state commerce commission for an In
crease in freight rates of 15 pel
cut.
J. J. Pelley. president of the Maw
Vork, New Haven road; Henry A
Scandrett. president of the Mllwau
kee, and W. R. Cole, president of the
Louisville & Nashville, were appoint
ed a committee, representative t t' .
eastern, western and southern :
ways, respectively, to sign and pre
sent the petition to the Interstate
commerce commission. It is expected
it will be filed next week.
After today's meeting the follow
ing statement was issued:
"At a meeting of executives i tb
eastern, western and southern gr.ii,
It was unanimously decided t a;
ply to the interstate commerce eon
mission and to the state COBS mil
sions for a 15 per cent increase in all
freight rates and charges.
Plan Full Statement.
"A committee consisting of the
chairman of the three groups was
authorized to prepare and file a poini
application with the respective .
missions. It is hoped that thi- cs
be done within a week.
"The application will contain a
full statement of the reasons for t!
action of the carriers. Measures wili
be taken to afford the public ad
quate access to the statement and
the application of the carriers."
The reference to "charges" in th
statement is understood to Include
charges for switching and similar
services performed at various termin
al cities as distinguished from charg
es collected for hauling freight. That
term does not refer to express tat
but it is considered logical bv -
I railroad men that an increase in ex-
press rates might be sought to equal
! ize them with the anticipated high
er freight rates.
The petition to the commissions it
I is understood, will emphasize the
present plight of the railroads and
I will ask for the increase to permit
I them to restore their credit and to
limprove their service. Erpenses have
been reduced to a minimum already
jand it is not possible to reduce them
lurther and maintain egicient oper
ations, the petition will say.
To Preserve Differentials.
The 15 per cent increase will ap
ply to all freight rates and charges
except those enjoying differential.
Such rates will be increased but the
existing differentials will be preserv
ed. For example, if the present rates
on a shipment from one station to
two destinations are. lespecmely.
$1.00 and $1.15 a ton the new rates
to both destinations will he Increas
ed, but one will remain 15 cents
lower than the other.
Railroad officials consider time an
important element in the present sit
uation and they hope to have the
higher rates in force as soon after
September 30 as possible. Conse
quently the petition will ask for a
blanket increase of 15 per cent and
vrfill osk the state and IntorstatS
commerce commissions to act as ex
peditiously as possible and without
suspension.
Ordinarily a petition for a chanu
in rates is presented to the intet
state commerce commission and a &
day period of "suspension" passe.- bt
fore it becomes effective. The com
mission has the authority to abro
gate this practice. World-Herald.
