Dream of Long
Standing About
to be Realized
Free Bridge of Adequate Size to Han
dle Heavy Auto and Truck
Traffic Starting Friday
The Louisville celebration commit
tee has an ad in this issue of the
Journal inviting the public to the
free bridge celebration there the last
three days of this -week and outlining
pome of the many entertaining fea
tures that have been arranged.
The making of Louisville's fine
2-lane concrete traffic structure free
by legislative enactment brings Into
reality a dream of long standing In
our neighboring cement city and re
moves the last barrier over the Platte
river.
Louisville has had bridges and
bridges. The first bridge, a toll free
wagon structure, was built in 1890
from the proceeds of a bond election
in Louisville precinct. It was a four
piling structure, with twenty foot
spans and an oak plank floor. A cele
bration marked its opening Sept. 24,
1890. with a gigantic crowd many
of whom came by special train com
pared to present day auto transpor
tation. This bridge served for thir
teen years, being partially taken out
by the ice in the spring of 1903.
Louisville contributed $2,500 and
the county 15.000 for repairs, mak
ing the structure again serviceable,
but two years later, in 1905, the ice
took out not only the new sections,
but a large part of the old as well.
From then until 1908, the community
was without a bridge. Then a pri
vate company was organized to build
a toll bridge. Like it's predecessor,
it was a four pile structure, but the
floor was elevated ten feet above the
water level to allow clearance for
the ice. Span lengths were also in
creased to 30 feet. The tolls on this
bridge paid the stockholders a good
return from the time of its opening
until it was turned over to the state
and counties, with revenue soon pay
ing the counties half of the purchase
price, so that it became free in 192C.
By 1929. however, this one-way traf
'fic structure was -found inadequate
. to carry modern day traffic and agi
tttation was started for a new bridge.
- Unsuccessful in repeated efforts to
get the state highway department to
build a new concrete span, citizens
of eastern Nebraska met in Louis
ville in September. 1929. and orga
nized the Louisville Bridge company
for the purpose of providing a per
manent bridge across the Platte, as
a part of state highway No. 50. The
board of directors was composed of
R. II. Has tain, president; Dr. E. H.
Worthman. vice president; Lee J.
Mayfield, secretary, and F. H. Nich
ols, treasurer, with H. A. Schneider
the fifth member of the board. The
list of stockholders included many
Louisville people, some In Omaha,
Lincoln, South Bend and Platts
mouth. Construction work, was pushed at
a rapid rate and the bridge was open
ed to the public December 10, 1929.
On November 28, 1933, the Louis
ville Bridge company sold its bridge
to the state of Nebraska and the
two counties, a sale previously auth
orized by a vote of more than 75
per cent of the stockholders, who
agreed to take $87.69 for each $100
share of stock held. The considera
tion was $149,862.01. with the
state paying its half of the purchase
price, which was applied by the
board to liquidation of outstanding
stock, with the balance to be amsra
tize'd out of net revenues from oper
ation of the bridge as a toll span by
Cass county.
A bill before the 1937 legislature
to have the state pay off the remain
ing indebtedness and make the bridge
toll free never got past committee.
Renewed efforts on a larger scale
were undertaken this year, with the
result that the bill was passed by an
almost unanimous vote on April 5,
and Immediately signed by Governor
Cochran. As the bill did not carry
the emergency clause, it does not be
come effective until ninety days af
ter adjournment of the legislature,
or Friday. September 8. The last
toll watch will conclude its work at
11:59 Thursday night, after which
the bridge will be toll .free. It is
constructed of steel and concrete,
with heavy piers sunk to solid foot
ing and 60 foot girders rolled on the
camber or convey style and support
ing a heavy concrete floor 20-feet In
width for two-lane traffic.
The present board of directors that
will wind up the affairs of the com
pany and end its corporate existence,
is composed of: Dr. E. H. Worthman,
president; W. J. O'Brien, of South
Bend, vice president; Lee J. May
field, secretary, and F. H. Nichols,
treasurer, with Theodore Harms, of
Manley, as the fifth member.
No group of citizens will greet the
free bridge with more acclaim than
the directors of the company, who
feel that the purpose for which the
span was originally built to provide
Louisville with an adequate toll-free
bridge has been accomplished.
Three Day Celebration
The lifting of the tolls will be the
occasion for a three-day celebration
in the cement city, on the Platte.
The celebration opens Thursday
night with an amateur contest. Fri
day is governor's day with a dinner
for Governor Cochran and other not
ables followed by a program at the
Ask Grove park near the south ap
proach to the bridge. Saturday is to
be Old Settlers day with a big parade
at 1:00 p. m., followed by an Old
Settlers program at 2:00. One of
the features of this program will be
the awarding of 50 year certificates
to all who have resided in Cass coun
ty for that length of time or more.
Both Friday and Saturday there
be exhibitions of the John K. Chap
pel Shows and Agnes Britton Stage
Revue, together with carnival attrac
tions, nightly dances and other mid
way features.
Plattsmouth will be well represent
ed at the celebration.

Journal's free dictiooary offer that
has been in effect for several weeks.
Puring that time many have taken
advantage of the opportunity to get
the 900 page New Universities dic
tionary when paying subscription to
this newspaper. There have been a
few who could not understand why
the books could not be carried in
stock and handed out without the
19 cents additional charge for post

that the books could only be purchas
ed subject to individual mailing di
rect from the publishing house in
the east, and aside from one sample
dictionary to show, the Journal has
never had any in stock.
Many who have received the dic
tionaries have expressed themselves
as very well pleased with them as
all may well be, since they are an
ordinary $1 value, of latest issue and
contain all the new words that have
originated since the publication ot
older and more obsolete editions.
We repeat the offer, so all may
fully understand: Anyone paying
one year (or more) subscription to
the Semi-Weekly Journal at the regu
lar $2 per year rate, is eligible to
have one of these dictionaries mail
ed direct to them upon payment of
an additional 19 cents to cover the
publisher's handling and mailing
cost. Subscriptions mailed up to
and including September 10, and
subscriptions turned in to our office
up to closing time Saturday night,
Sept. 9, will be eligible to receive a
dictionary. After that time, the
special offer will no longer be In
effect.
If you have been planning on get
ting one of these dictionaries, but
putting off the time of acting, we
warn you to make arrangements for
it this week, by paying one or more
year's subscription and the required
additional 19 cents wrapping and
mailing expense.
