Council Prepares
to Submit Projects
to the People
Krst Resolution Is for PWA Aid in a
Municipal Auditorium Discuss
Light and Power Situation.
From Tuesday's Dally
The city council at their session
last night took up the matter of con
sideration of projects which the city
planning board suggested and one
of these, that of a municipal audi
torium, was ready for consideration
while the others will be taken up
later and all be ready for submission
to the people at an election to finance
the same.
A communication was received
from the trustees and officers of the
American Legion building and post,
in which it was stated that the post
would turn over to the city of Platts
mouth, its building on Vine street,
representing an investment of $17,
000, providing the city would supply
the $3,000 to pay off the remaining
indebtedness on the building and se
curing PWA funds to complete the
structure. The Legion asked only
that the post and the Auxiliary be
allowed a meeting room and that the
auditorium remain rental free for
memorial day service. This was re
ceived and placed on file.
A communication was received
from the planning board in which
It was stated that under a PWA pro
posed grant of forty-five per cent of
the amount needed could be secured
to complete the building and as
the American Legion was willing to
turn over their investment to the
city, it was recommended that appli-.
cation for a PWA grant of $17,398
be made for the completion of the
building. The city to ; submit to the
voters the matter of the raising of
funds for the city's share.
- Councilman Webb stated that he
was of the opinion that the city
should not take a position either for
or against any of the projects sug
gested, but go ahead and if desired
take such steps as would place the
matter up for the consideration of
the voters as a bond issue would be
necessary to raise the city's share of
the project costs.
It was explained by Mr. A. L.
Tidd of the planning board that the
proposed structure was only a one
story building to be erected on top
of the present legion building which
Is a half basement.
After some discussion a resolution
was presented in which the mayor
was authorized to sign for the city
an application for a grant from the
PWA for a municipal auditorium. On
motion of Rebal, seconded by Vin
cent, the resolution was adopted.
Mr. Tidd said that it was expected
to get the Chicago avenue paving
proposition in shape for action at
once so that this too might receive
consideration. He also favored the
creation of a sewer at the same time,
but felt that these might be better
carried out under the WPA project
plans.
Mayor Lushinsky pointed out that
the sewer when built should be ade
quate and ample to carry off the
water from the heavy rains.
Grant Use of Streets
A communication was received
from the King Korn Karnival com
mittee of which L. W. Niel is secre
tary, asking that the committee be
allowed the use of Fifth street from
Main to Vine, also that the fire de
partment had stated that they could
use the east entrance to the fire sta
tion in case the street was occupied.
It was also asked that permission
be granted to erect a band stand at
Fifth and Main streets. On motion
of Comstock, seconded by Vroman,
the permission was granted.
Councilman Schutz suggested that
detour signs be placed out for high
way No. 34 during the1 carnival when
the highway is closed during parades.
There was some discussion and it
was suggested that in putting up
detour signs that the permission of
the state highway department be
secured. Mayor Lushinsky stated
that he would have special traffic di
rectors out for the short time that
it would be necessary to clear the
highway.
A communication was received
from the Nebraska League of Muni
cipalities announcing their meeting
at Kearney on October 12 to 14 and
urging the Plattsmouth city officials
to attend.
City Clerk Albert Olson reported
that in August his office had col
lected $189.65 and which had been
turned over to the city treasury.
Chief of Police W. M. Barclay re
ported that eight arrests had been
made for August and cash fines and
costs of $31 collected and some given
work sentences.
City Treasurer M. D. Brown re
ported that the city funds at the
first of the month represented the
sum of $15,718.17 and which was
Plattsmouth
i
State
deposited in the
bank.
The Plattsmouth Volunteer fire
department had a number of com
munications before the council. One
was that of the list of officers re
cently elected and the members of
the department: a communication
asking permission to have a small
club room made in the south part of
the old hose house, permission for
which was granted. The department
also asked that 200 feet of one and
a half inch double jacketed hose be
purchased as well as couplings. This
was referred to the fire and water
committee to secure prices.
A communication was received
from property owners in block 59 be
tween 7th and 8th street and Marble
and Rock streets, asking that the
alley, running east and west through
the block be opened. The petition
was headed by Mrs. Maybelle Gorder
and others. On the motion to have
the alley opened it was carried.
Chairman Tippens of the streets
alleys and bridges committee, whose
committee has been kept on the rush
in recent weeks, reported that the
battle was on clearing up the dirt
streets that were rutted by each rain
and that maintainers had been out
gradually getting the work com
pleted. Mr. Tippens asked that the
chief of police be notified to arrest
persons found dumping debris, grass
or other articles into the waterways
of the city.
The question of weed cutting was
given an airing by the meeting and
after an examination of the city
ordinance on the matter it was de
cided to have the city street depart
ment cut the weeds where needed.
The question of where, when and
how to "spike" was brought up by
Councilman Vincent and led to some
discussion but the general opinion
was that it was illegal in places that
had legal licenses to sell liquors or
beer.
Chairman Gabelman of the claims
committee reported that a satisfac
tory settlement had been made of
the bill for storage of the fire truck
and the sum of $7.50 for storage and
battery had been reached and on mo
tion the amount was ordered paid.
On the suggestion of Councilman
Comstock the electrolier globes were
ordered cleaned up before the Korn
Karnival and t the cost of $9.50.
Discuss Lighting: Problem
There was quite a lengthy dis
cussion of the matter of the city
securing adequate protection in the
event of the sale of the Iowa-Nebras
ka Light & Power Co., to the Nebras
ka hydros as has been frequently re
ported. Chairman Comstock of the
lighting committee reparted a con
ference had been held here by the
committee, the vice-president of the
Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power Co.,
F. I. Rea, local manager and Mr.
Beeles of the Nebraska League of
Municipalities, relative to the se
curing of an agreement that the
city would have a ninety day notice
of any sale of the power plant. No
action had been taken because of the
fact the vice-president stated he had
no authority to make the agreement
and the president, L. B. King was
out of Lincoln. Since that time a
letter had been received here by the
local offices of the company from Mr.
King in which it was stated that it
was not thought necessary to make
the agreement as the sale was not
probable. Councilman Webb stated
that the city would no doubt be able
to secure their current as now under
any circumstances but that the ques
tion was whether it was desired to
have it controlled here or at Hast
ings or some other place.
It was decided on the motion of
Councilman Tippens that the city
attorney and the mayor contact the
legal representatives of other cities
similarly affected to see what might
be done in the way of mutual action
in case the transfer of the light and
power companies were made.
Councilman Vroman of the police
department reported that members
of the force had been given vaca
tions he understood after only a short
time in the department and that
the ordinance provided vacations
only after a year of service. He
had not been consulted in the matter
or that of placing of the extra relief
man on the force.
To Eevise Ordinances
Chairman Rebal of the judiciary
committee presented a communica
tion from George Mann, of Lincoln,
noted municipal law expert, who had
met with judiciary committee mem
bers and other city officials a week
ago to consider revision and codifica
tion of city ordinances. He stated
towns were accepting the WPA pro
posal to have this work done at a
much smaller cost than if by private
contract more rapidly than had been
anticipated, but a place was being
held for Plattsmouth among the
initial group of twelve towns to be
worked, if the city cared to accept
at this time.
A blanket proposal has been ap
proved in Washington for ordinance
revision projects in a total of seventy
Nebraska towns, with Mr. Mann des
ignated as project supervisor. The
setting up of the project here would
provide employment for a force of
four to six typists, copy readers and
checkers from among the so-called
' white collar" groups on the unem
ployment rolls with an expenditure
of several hundred dollars to local
labor. The expense to the city would
be $73.71 for supplies (listed in de
tail) including several blank books
for the recording of historical and
appropriation ordinances, and the re
sponsibility of providing 120 print
ed copies of the new ordinance book. '
This will be the first book form re
vision of the ordinances since 1902.
The council voted unanimously to
accept the WPA proposal and provide
the necessary supplies for carrying
on the work. After the ordinances
have been typed and .carefully check
ed here they will be sent to Lincoln,
where the revision and codification
will be done in the state office un
der the personal supervision of Mr.
Mann.
Defer Truck Purchase
The matter of the purchase of a
truck by the city for use of the
street department was discussed at
some length, and on advice from the
city attorney that the price would
bo large enough to require advertis
ing for bids, the proposals from the
different dealers in the hands of the
committee were held in abeyance,
until after the published call for
bids has been made.
Befund $16,000 Bonds
The finance committee presented
a proposal from Walter V. Raynor
Pond Co., of Omaha, to refund $16,
000.00 of Intersection Paving bonds
at 3 per cent interest and a premium
of $66. These bonds, issued April 1,
1923, originally bore 54 per cent
interest, which was reduced to 4
and later to 4 per cent. In the four
and a half years the bonds have yet
to run. the interest saving to the
city would be $720 at the 3 per cent
rate, and the council unanimously
supported the committee's resolution
to have the bonds called for October
1 payment, and refunded, with the
Raynor company paying for the new
bonds and preparing the legal history
without cost to the city.

AGED LADY INJURED
From Tuesday' Daily
Mrs. F. St White, 93, was injured
last evening in a fall at her home on
North Sixth street. Mrs. White had
been out on the law of the home
with some friends and started into
the house, suddenly falling and be
fore she could be reached had struck
the walk. She was assisted into the
house and medical aid called. Dr.
R. P. Westover found that It was
probable that she had sustained a
slight fracture of the hip and she
was accordingly hurried to the in
firmary at the Nebraska Masonic
Home where she is being cared for.
It is not thought that the fracture
is severe, but at her very advanced
age it makes the case more serious.
She was reported this morning as
resting very comfortably.
ENGINEERS DEFEAT ATLANTIC
From Tuesday's Daily
The local U. S. Engineers soft
ball team defeated Atlantic, Iowa,
last evening at Malvern, by a score
of 5 to 0. The Engineers started
early in the game to score, getting
five runs in the opening frame, and
then played flawlessly behind the
excellent hurling of their ace,
"Chuck" Nelson. Nelson had the
help of his favorite1 catcher, hust
ling Fay Spidell, and gave up but
one lone single, and allowed but
two men to reach base, one by virtue
of a harmless error. "Chuck" whiffed
seven of the last year's tourney
champs. This was the Plattsmouth
entry's first tournament contest, the
second game being scheduled for this
evening, weather permitting.
LEAVE FOR THE EAST
Fiom Monday's Dally

Sundstrom department for the east

other uncle, Paul Jacobson and look
over that section of the east.

son of the family, is leaving today
for Lincoln where he takes up his
second year in the University of Nebraska.
AN ODD TREE
A cone from a monkey puzzle tree
is being displayed at the Platts
mouth public library. This is a very
odd tree and although it grows into
a very large tree every limb and the
trunk are of equal size. Each year's
growth is shown by a joint of the
tree. The monkey puzzle tree is a
native of Africa, although the cone
displayed here was brought back
from a tree in Washington by Miss
Olive Jones, librarian.
