City Council
Holds Regular
Meeting Monday
Committee to Consider Matter of New
Rural Fire Districts Also Rock
Surfacing to Be Pushed.
The city council held a short and
very interesting session Monday eve
ning at the city hall with a full at
tendance of the members present to
take part in the discussion of several
phases of the city affairs for the
coming weeks.
There was some discussion of the
matter of the WPA project for the
revision of the city ordinances, a mat
ter that has been pending since last
summer. The League of Nebraska
Municipalities had a letter read on
the subject and after its consider
ation the council decided to let the
matter rest as it is at the present
time.
Mayor Lushinsky reported that the
general health of the city was ex
cellent, the only contagious cases of
disease being one case of German
measles. Two cases of chicken pox
were also reported by one of the
councilmen.
Discuss Bicycle Problem
In regard to an ordinance on
bicycle riding and regulation, Chair
man Rebal of the judiciary commit
tee, felt that the seeking of co-operation
of the young people and educa
tion of the riders as to dangers as
well as that of the pedestrians would
do more good than a more severe re
strictive ordinance. It was suggested j
that the committee secure a pamphlet
of does and don'ts for the riders and
provide each youngster with num
bers and registration for the bicycles
and which also would afford more
protection against stealing of the
cycles.
Chairman Webb of the tax and
property committee reported that the
committee had answered the com
plaints of the state fire prevention
association.
Chairman Webb also called atten
tion to the fact that the Bale of tax
foreclosure properties would be held
on Saturday. On motion the finance,
fax and property committees and the
mayor be authorized to represent
the city in the sale.
Chairman Gabelman of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee, report
ed that the rain had done some dam-
ftgesjo the dirt streets in roughing
them up. He also urged that the
parking signs on Sixth street from
Vine to Pearl be repainted as many
evidently could not see the parallel
parking signs.
Chairman Tiekotter of the license
committee presented a notice from
the Hotel riattsmouth that Clyde
Rosboroug had been named as man
iger of the tavern, license for which
is held by the hotel. This was ap
proved and the state liquor commis
sion will be so advised.
To Seek Fire Districts
Chairman Schutz of the fire and
water committee, reported that the
city drinking fountains were in order
and also the committee had Deen
giving some study to L. B. 336. per
taining to the rural fire fighting dis
tricts. It was provided that these
districts were organized by the resi
dents of the districts, sixty per cent
being required to create the district,
that they then elect officers for the
district and provide for the neces
5ary levy. They then make contact
with fire departments of the nearest
community. Mr. Schutz reported that
he had taken the matter up with
V. T. Arn, Jr., president of the fire
department and who was to take
the question up with the farmers that
might be interested in starting the
fir.il firo fi:ihtinr district. It was
voted to leave the matter in the
hands of the committee and the fire
department for further action.
Chairman Vroman of the" lighting
committee asked further time on the
consideration of an overhead street
light on west Main street. The com
mittee also reported that ths com-
pjny selling the electric stop signs
had agreed on the price asked by
ihe city and that the one light would

Chairman Painter of the police
tommittea took up the matter of the
ar gas pens or billies which had
been sought to sell the police for the
use of tin city. It was decid?d to
set in touch with the company and
ronfer with the sheriff as to the
vist types to secure if a purchase' i
made.
The streets, alleys and bridges
committee recommended that the city
call for bins for the purchase ot a ton
p.nd a half clomp truck chassis, tingle
wheels. The clerk was ordered to
advertise for bids to be ope.ied at
the meeting of the city council on
Monday, July 24th.
Rock Surfacing of Streets
Mayor Lushinsky reported that at
the present time there was 1,740 feet
cf sewer installed on Chicago ave
nue, work was getting along better
vith more men available and the
rock supply improving, this having
delayed the work for some time.
The matter of the rock surfacing
of the city streets and the prepar
ation of necessary plans and speci
fications by an engineer was discuss
ed at some length by the council and
County Surveyor Robert M. Mann,
who will make the necessary pro
file drawings of the proposed dis
tricts and where necessary place the
markers for future extension of run
ning levels for the streets. The only
marker now available is that at Sixth
and Main streets in the intersection
and from where all levels are laid.
The WPA committee was given
the authority to have profile of the
districts prepared, negotiate with II.
Ij. Gayer for the rock and the use
of rock crusher, to make applica
tion for the men that will be neces
sary for the work and to have cor
nerstones placed where needed. This
was carried out and the committee
will go ahead with the work.
The following bills were ordered

Gives Rules for
Wheat Loans
Taxes Must be Paid and Liens Waiv
ed Before Loan will be Certi
fied, Says Co. Chairman
John B. Kaffenberger, acting Cass
county chairman of the 1939 Wheat
Loan program has just sent out the
following letter to wheat producer
in this county, outlining the proced-
Iure and rules governing the granting
of wheat loans. His letter, dated
.June 23, says:
"As the 1939 wheat loans will be
starting within a very short time,
we are sending out letters of infor
mation as to the qualifications neces
sary for those producers desiring to
get a wheat loan under the 19J9
program.
"Eligible producers are any per
sons, partnerships, associations, or
corporations producing wheat, . on
whose farm the allotment set up as
the 1939 wheat acreage, under the
1939 Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram has not been exdeeded. If :t
farm has been designated as a non
wheat allotment farm, the wheat pro
duced on this farm will not Lc eli
gible for a wheat loan.
"Wheat of an acceptable quality
for a loan shall be of any class grad
ing No. 3 or better; or wheat grad
ing No. 4 or No. 5 solely on test
weight, but otherwise grading No.
3 or better. Wheat grading tougn
shall not be considered eligible for
a loan.
"The bin or granary used for farm
storage of wheat shall be a substan
tial and permanent structure which
will: (1) Hold the grain without
loss of quantity; (2) protect tho
grain from rain, snow, and ground
water; (3) provide protection fror.i
damage by birds, mice, rats and
other animals; (4) be suitable for
effective fumigation for the destruc
tion of insects; (5) provide reason
able protection against loss by firo
or wind; (6) require forcible break
ing in order to be entered when
sealed.
"The granary should Jc in or near
the farmstead group for protection
against loss by theft, but is nhouM
be far enough from other building
r.nd from stacks of straw, hay, etc.,
to reduce fire danger. No bin will
be acceptable for a loan if it is In a
livestock barn. ' No loan will be mado
for farm storage until the wheat
has been Ltored for 30 days.
"All Hens listed on the county
records must be waived before a loan
