TO SELECT CEMETERY HEAD
The Plattsmouth cemetery board
met Monday evening to take up sev
eral matters of business and among
these the matter of the selection of
a superintendent of the cemetery.
The board has had in mind the
retaining of a superintendent who
can give all of his time to tho work
at the cemetery and due to this fact
the board is faced with a problem.
W. A. Tulcne, the present superin
tendent does not feel that he cares
to devote all of his time to the work
and this makes it necessary to try and
secure other applicants.
The cemetery board will meet Fri
day, April 2, at 7:30 to consider ap
plications for a superintendent of Oak
Hill cemetery. Anyone with cemetery
experience who are interested should
have their application in the hands
of the secretary, L. W. Niel, by meet
ing date.

WPA Workers
Start Project on
City Records
Check County and City Tax Accounts ;
Chart Sewers; Assist Tax and
Property Committee.
From Tuesday's Daily
Another WPA project opened in
Plattsmouth yesterday morni n g.
Three persons are employed in work
upon the city records. Albert Olson,
city clerk, is general supervisor.
Auditing of the special improve
ment assessment records is one of the
most needed pieces of work in the
city. A dual method of collecting
these assessments is provided by law.
Payment may be made either to the
county treasurer or to the city clerk.
This necessitates the keeping of two
separate assessment books. Some of
the payments mad to the county
treasurer have not been clearly tran
scribed to the city book thus caus
ing a great deal of confusion in
clearing titles, securing abstracts,
etc. This is particularly true of fore
closed assessments, which while certi
fied from the district court records to
the county treasurer's book, have
never been transcribed to the city
clerk's book. Gotnavd Lagerstrom is
going over the old records and filling
in the certifications from 1914 to
the present.
A second project has been organ
ised for the locating-and charting of
the sanitary sewers in the city of
Plattsmouth. While the city owns
the main trunk line of the sewer, the
majority of the branch lines are own
ed privately. At the present time
there is no chart of the private sew
ers and a person wishing to build or
attach to a sewer system is at loss
to know how to go about it. Leo
Boynton is securing the location of
the private sewer lines, finding their
length, the year built, owners, etc.
Charts with as many blue prints as
are obtainable will be kept with the
city records.
Ada Taylor is working with the
tax and property committee under the
direction of Elmer Webb.
