One hundred and sixty acres of
land, with a prospective eighty-acre
lake to be filled from flowing wells,
some timber and a background of
bluff land, all for public recreation
grounds, the lake to be stocked with
fish by the state, at a price not to
exceed $S5 an acre, WPA labor in
i sight to give work for farmers, was
the alluring offer made to the state
game and park commission Friday.
The offer was made by a commit
tee of 25 or more members of a com-
ttee formed by farmers and other
citizens of Otoe and Johnson coun
ties. J. V. Kahl, banker, of Hurr,
was spokesman. The commission's im
mediate answer was tnat it had no
money available to make the pur
chase. The suggestion was made that
the committee canvass towns in Otoe
and Johnson counties and see what
can be done toward raising funds to
acquire the land.
Kahl said the land belonged to
the estate of William IJchrends, that
the committee had obtained an op
tion on the land without consider
ation, from Mrs. Ilehrends, who lives
north of Cook. The land is two and
one-half miles southeast of Hurr.
Kahl said he did not think the
chances are good for raising sub
scriptions enough to buy the land
and present it to the state. He said
the commission would build the dam
for a lake and stock it with fish. He
said the WPA would make it a work
project if someone would sponsor it.
Members of the two county boards
were in the delegation. F. C. Wallen
of Unadilla said there are six flow
ing wells on the land, one being a
natural well which during the past
drouth year has had a constant flow
of six inches of water. The proposed
SO-acre lake is bottom land. A dam
of earth to hold the water has been
planned. Kahl said Gov. Cochran
favored the place as a public recrea
tion ground. He also said the game
commission has a survey of the tract
and has had it under consideration.
The same tract was before the game
commission when C. V. Bryan was
governor and ex-officio chairman of
the commission.
The commission made no statement
concerning the offer. Members con
tinued in session during the after
noon and planned to announce that
the public should contribute no funds
except to authorized bodies to buy
grain to feed game birds during the
coming winter.
A reunion picnic of the descend
ants of the Tohlman and Crawford
families was held in Chautauqua
park in Beatrice, Sept. 13. The pio
neer parents of those assembled were
early settlers in Nemaha and Cass
counties. They were natives of Knox
county, Illinois, and veterans of the
Civil war. In 1SGC they filed govern
ment claims in Nebraska. Mr. and
Mrs. John II. Pohlman entered what
was then Nebraska territory, at
Brownville. Mrs. Pohlman was for
merly Miss Elizabeth Crawford. They
were later joined by Mrs. Pohlman's
father, Thomas Crawford, and sons,
Vachel, William I)., and Walter, who
filed claims near Ttcumseh. James
and John Crawford settled near
South Bend. Among the S2 present
at the reunion, four generations were
represented. C. Alva Crawford of
Randall, Kas., was elected president
of the organization, and it was de
cided to make the affair an annual
event. Representatives were present
from the following towns: Osage
City and Hartford, Kas., Omaha, Lin
coln, Beatrice, Grand Island, Auburn,
Alvo, Ashland, Lewiston, Pilger,
Murdock, South Bend, Tecumseh and
Johnson.

RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL
From Thursday's Daily
Miss Eleanor lliber, who has been
at Omaha recuperating from the ef
fects of an operation for appendicitis,
was able to return home today. Miss
Hiber has had a very rapid recovery
and it is hoped that the operation
will result in the restoration to her
former health.
IN EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
From Saturday's Daily:
Kermit Pell, of Lincoln, arrived in
the city today to become a part of
the staff of the employment service
department at the court house. Mr.
Pell will be attached to the office of
A. E. Edgerton, county head of the
employment service and has already
The P. F. Peterson Baking Co.,
of Omaha, which several years ago
was engaged in a contest of the
rights of a municipality to tax the
trucks of their company, in which
ordinance of this city was question
ed, is now attacking the ordinance of
Nebraska City.
In this city the Omaha companies
pay the same occupation tax as that
of local bakers, $7.50 per year.
In the statement of the position
of Nebraska City officials the News
Press has the following:
"Notice that unless the city re
funds the occupation tax collected
from the driver of its bread wagon
the Peterson company would bring
suit was received Friday by City At
torney Varro 11. Tyler. Tyler told
The News-Press he had avdised the
company no refund would be made.
" 'Local bakers pay the same tax
yearly," Tyler pointed out. "Besides
that they pay a large amount of per
sonal and real estate taxes. I don't
see why we should permit outside
concerns to hold an advantage over
our local merchants. Of course we
will contest the suit."
"Tyler pointed out that the state
supreme court has upheld collection
of occupation taxes from such con
cerns, and that Judge Raper of the
Richardson county district court held
that such taxes were unconstitution
al only when they didn't include
equal taxes against local and out
side vendors.
"The Peterson company alleged the
city is not authorized in the enum
erated powers of cities of the first
class to collect these taxes and that
the ordinance is contrary to the con
stitutions of Nebraska and United
States.
"The ordinance was drafted many
years' ago by W. F. Moran, then city
attorney, and has never before been
questioned.
" 'In fact,' Tyler pointed out, 'lo
cal agitation is to increase the
amount of the taxes. Local merchants
pay their assessments gladly. It is
only the outsiders with whom we
have trouble.' "
