At a called meeting of the citizens
of riattsmouth, held at the Court
House on Wednesday evening, July
vn'lcs " .:r:: : ;";;:
Chair and Jno. A. Mat-Murphy elctcd
Secretary.
Dr. Black stated the object of the
lueeting was to devise means to reduce
Our present rate of taxation. Mr.
Dovey followed, and endeavored to
fchow that we were taxed higher in
in 4..,m. k :,n in "Vw Vnvlf where
the late for oftt tt.ou.Ond dollars w;ts templated improvements, and on the
83 and here, it was 843, He also j subject of our city expenses generally,
mentioned - Boston and Nashville as As there has been considerable talk on
rities where taxation was less than j this subject, and no little feeling exlub
here. Spoke of the reposed grading ited by some of the parties on both
on Chicago Avenue and claimed that
by having it done now and bonding
the city to pay for it the tax payer
teally would ht-.ve to pay about $3300
more than if we waited untill the
cash was iu te treasury to pay for the
tamc-
D. IL Wheeler was called for and
explained way hc sigaod tha call.
Claimed that the ewv.ive tax kept
.it cmitrd and capitalists from coming
here and investing n:oney. Though j
1 b-mdins Tor grading was .
filegal because the charter provided
that any bonds f.,r over tOOO should
be submitted to a vote of the people,
also that no I'jond should b; issued for
less than- ten years
gcasidef aMe talk took place On this
matter, both parties claiming that they
' had obtained tb3 opinion of good Lawyers.-

- yexLt Mr. Wheeler and others
flawed- to bare WW cion of Mr.
a?
mitfra on reroluttotifl tfaa appointed
who nft?T beirof out n short time'
rcpoTted. T
"While tfco cemmitte on r&oraUons
yvexv absent, Atayor Livingston waa
loudly called for and coming forward
spoke in substance as follows: lie was
anxious to see the taxes reduced, as.
anxious as any one, but the roads must
be fixed either temporarily or perma
nently. The Council thought best to
fix them permanently. Went into the
actions of the former Council, said
they left several weoddhUcks on the
hands of the present Council, and these
Avenues were two of them. Said if
the people wanted these avenues fixed
he should fix thcin, and if a majority
of the people did not want them fixed;
they should not, with his consent, be
fixed. Said the law in regard to con
tracts" authorized the Council to let
this contract for grading. Asked,
"What shall we do with the Avenues?"
The Hon. Mayor then gave the ilg
ures for expenses of this Council,
claiming that they had been more eco
nomical than their predecessors for the
same length of time.
The" committee on resolutions an
nounced themselves ready to rejiort,
and Mr. Wheeler read the following
resolutions:
Whereas, The Mayor and City
Council have lrt a contract for grading
in the city of Plattsmouth, as shown
by the Nebraska Wjitchtnait, which no
tice is dated June 25th, 1873. and
Wiiekeas, The said notice proposes
to pay for said grading in Street Bonds,
payable in (1) one, (2) two and (3) thretj
years; and
Whereas, A contract has been let
for the grading aforesaid, at 01 cents
per cubic yard, which is at about one
hundred per cent, more than the said
contract can be let for in cash, if let in
divisions, so that our working men, of
small means, but with plenty of ener
gy and good health to back them, could
take the contracts ; and
Whereas, The Charter, irl See. 89,
expressly provides that the Mayor and
City Council shall not issue to exceed
S:'.OfiO in Ilonds. without first stlbmit
'
ting the proposition to the legal voters
of the city; and
Wiiekeas, Said bonds, when issued,
as provided in section lid, cannot, un
der the provisions of section 40, of said
charter be issued, payable in less than
ton years nor more than twenty years
from date, with 10 per cent, interest ;
and
Wiiekeas, The! Taxes of the city are
now so burdensome that some of our
merchants and business men, are cur
tailing their business and endeavoring
to leave the city, thereby lessening the
taxable property of the city, making
the taxes a good interest on every
man's investment in the city, and at
the same time keeping out parlies who
would otherwise invest in and help
build up the city; therefore, be it
Ilesolrt'l. That a committee of five
be apjMvInted to wait upon the City
Council and respectfully ask the Mayor
and Council to at once annul the con
tract already made for grading, and to
stop the useless, and unnecessary ex
penses, now being contracted by the
Street Commissioner under the orders
of the Citv Council.
tfrsond, That thg Mayor" ami City
Council be, and they are hereby respect
fully requested to "reduce the expenses
of the city government to a fair, rea
sonable, and living basis, reduce the
taxes, and do such other acts its an in
dividual would do who wits without
credit and living on the charity of his
friend3.
llesolrerf, That the City Council be
requested to expend only such an
amount as may be necessary to put
Chicago aventiein a passable condition,
and ve believe such, work can be done
for a sum not exceeding $300.
The resolutions were received, and
lion. Ii, dishing spoke in behalf of
the Council. Said in Brownville taxes
were G per cent.; in Lincoln on $1200
he paid$9; said the opening and gra
ding of Chicago Avenue was indispen
sible; justified the expenditures of the
past and present Council ; told a story
which was received with applause by
some
Dr. Geo. Black gave an estimate of
the City expenses, putting them it
$3,000.
Two gentlemen holding opposite
opinions had a sparring match on the
subject of taxes not necessary to print
here.
The chairman gave his views, and
the resolutions were again read by Mr.
Wheeler. The last one was stricken
off and a vote called for vica roce. The
chair declared itself in doubt, and a
standing vote was taken,- resulting in
! adopts of the uomtioM bya
vote of 3t for to 33 against;
Meeting adjourned until Monday
evening, July 14th. .
OUIi CITY TAXES.
In another column of this paper, we
havo given the minutes of a meeting
of our citizens in regard to certain con-
sides, it becomes the duty of the Her
ald, as a faithful chronicle erf the
news, and a watchful guardian of the
people's interests, to give something
j more than the bare minutes of that
I meeting.
j For a number of weeks previous to
! that meeting there had lcen murmurs
i on the streets that our taxes and ex
i penditures were too heavy, the burden
! of taxation was felt. It was a positive
weight, a wet blanket on the spirits of
some of our citizens and a source of
j uneasiness to alb
These ar6 facts that every one knows.
Our Mayor and Common Council must
have been aware of these rumors, in a
small town like this there cannot be a
subject of this importance agitated but
that almost every one heats of it, and
to now corae in and declare tbrst it is a
surprise' to them or an insult is simply
absurd.
It is not this phase of tlte business,
however, that the HekIld proposes to
treat of at present, nor yet the" propri
ety of the contemplated grading, but
the mnnncr in -which certain parties
errac" &vrn e?-tk? charge
of a, puttie mooting in this town thafc
T?aa called f cr a epociiied purpose by a
j-cspectable portion of this' community,
and should have been left in charge of
the persona xt ho called it by all the
rulea and usages in regard to public
meetings in this country, unless it be
the deliberate intention to break up
such meeting by force and violence.
it is not in anger that the Herald
desires to speak of this matter, but in
sorrow to think that we have any citi
zens among us that will lend them
selves to Bitch a scheme. The only pos
sible excuse for the conduct of certain
parties there that evening was that
they deemed the Call an jnsult to the
Council cr to the Mayor. We shall
proceed to show that the call could not
have been intended for an insult to
either the Mayor or Council, without
the greatest absurdity, and secondly if
it was and had been an insult that
neither then nor there was the proper
time nor place for the Mayor and Coun
cil to resent an insult, and if our May
or or any of the Council have come to
such a pass that they must send a lit
tle clique of clacftlerit to a public meet
ing to avenge their insults they are not
the men we think they are, or have
sunk far below tlie dignity, of their of
fice. To show that neither the call nor
the meeting could have been intended
as an insult to the Mayor, or to any of
the Council, we have Cnly to refer to
the original meeting
is sift. WHEELER'8 office.
We" wcYe passing there accidentally, and
were called in. We found there eight
or ten of the best business men of the
town there was no heat, no anger, no
malice expressed toward any individual
of the Council, or, to the Mayor. It
seemed to us, a calm, deliberate and
grave assemblage of citi2er:3, for legi
timate purposes. They w;ere of both
political parties, and not a man was
there but who had warm personal
friends in that Council ; not a man was
there but tvho had strong political
ff iends in that Council, let him call
himself democrat, liberal, or republi
can ; not a man there but who had vo
ted for a portion of that Council. To
say now that these men with such di
verse political opinions, and social rela
tions, assembled there with but one
point in common, and that a financial
one, would fulminate a call that was a:i
insult to some of their best friends is
simply to insinuate that you have more
natural born fools in Plattsmouth than
any where else on the continent, and
the gentlemanly friends of the Council
weaken their own side when they ay
sert that this meeting wa3 an insult.
The insult comes from the other way.
Again, it is said that the call for a
public meeting should not have been
issued, they should have etitioned the
Council. &c. That may be, a petition
probably would have been sufficient,
but people do not always do the wisest
or best things, and it is very easy to
point out mistakes after events have
happened. These men certainly had a
right to call a meeting cf their fellow
citizens to See how many of them
would support their views lefore go
ing before tlie Council with a petition,
and it does not help the cause of the
Mayor, Council, or their friends that
they came half way, aye more, to meet
this call which they deem so unjust
and improper. If unjust and unwise
why not have let it run its own course
and run itself out? Why come to
strengthen it by fierce and violent op
position? A Democrat, an old citizen, a good
man and a Warm personal friend of
the Mayor, made the first motion for a
public meet ing, at Wheeler's olTiee,and
it was to prevent one of the very
charges that the Council party now
make, that lie gave as a re;ison for so
doing, viz.: "That no person mizht say
it was the work of a few persons for
any personal advantage," and yet it is
now charged that it was all the work
of two or three east Plattsmouth men.
Well, if Jacob Vallery, John Black,
Parker Wise, Wm. Stadelmann, C. II.
Partnele, C. Hei.el, J. J. Bussell, Jason
Streight, W. L. Itobbs, M. L. White, B.
Spurlock, Tutt, Hays, and others are
east Plattsmouth men, the points of
compass have been changed, and if all
the signers to that call are led by the
nose by two or three east Plattsmouth
men, then must the two or three east
Plattsmouth men le pretty sharp fel
lows to pull their string3 80 Shrewdly
as to control your senior County Com
missioner, a Democrat, several of
your richest and best business men, ir
respective of politics, and over sixty
others to do their bidding. This posi
tion is as absurd as the other, and if
there is anV insult in the matter it is
to the citizens on that call whom you so
cooly hand over to two or three cast
Plattsmouth men.
AT THE CCfUKT IHTCSC
Having disjWsed erf the call, wo
come to the meeting in the Court
House. It was a large and respectable
meeting. It was in answer to a call
signed by seventy-nine of your citizens,
too large a body, gentlemen, allow U3
to say. to bo ignored in a snlali town
like tins. By all the rules and tis'ages
of public meetings that meeting should
have been in the hands of men that
signed the call. ' This is the invariable
custom, and Mr. Dovey had a right to
call that meeting to order and to nom
inate oue of the signers of that call to
the chair, and the first intuit offered to
any one (if any were offered that even
ing) was to Dr. John Black, an old cit
izen ami a responsible man among you,
in not allowing him to quietly occupy
that chair and open that meeting in
the visual form. The opposition to his
doing so was bad policy, id bad taste
and subversive of good order in4ur
community, and we are sure all good
and true men will agree with us here.
It wa3 bad policy on the part of the
opposition because it was tantamount
to an acknowledgement that their
cause was weak, or it was a direct
insult to Dr. Black by insinuating that
he would not deal fairly awl justly by
all persons in that house while in that
chair, and that they mu3t have aneber
man.' It .was bad tate because it
would hara beafl moro dignifla'J an J
roanly to have vr ;ited nnUl they eavf
what that mooting h:ut to Bay for it
self, or until iU eaairmta shewed1 by
aonio overt act tliat he was not dFsp03l
to givo equal rights to all there.
It waa subversive of gJJl ordsr'by
teaching our young tnoii to ha rude and
disorderly' at public meeting and lead
ing them on to suppose that they m ly
do so with impunity only provided
they have a pretty strOng crowd along
with them.
Lastly, we dislike to see our young
men resort to the warfare of rowdie
and roughs and we feel sure that our
Hon. Mayor aud the Hon. President of
the Council are both tou able ami have
too uracil brains with which to light
their battles, ever to countenance such
claap-trap measures as these to carry
their ends and will not thank the men
that so aid them, in the long run.
THE TRUE COURSE.
Of defense for both, the Mayor arid
Council, in our opinion, would have
been this to have passed that moetinj
over in silence and not have coiiis for
ward to defend themselves then and
there at all, certainly not Until after
th3 resolutions were poss-jd on by th j
meeting or they were - called on to ex
plain by th-j cliainil in orsoim nv.i:nV?r
of the party who called t'u ni eting.
Why como half way to :njct a chatg
that you declare an insult and untrue,
and defend yourself before you are
called on to do so ? It would bo bad
policy in an individual, it is worse pol
icy for a public official.
With all due respect for our Mayor,
and we are sure with feeling of per
sonal kindness to him. we yet fe;i
bound to tell hint that hs wvakncd
his Cause when hep lid any attention
to that "call" at that tim and when
ho stepped forward by th3 wishes of
his personal and immediate friends ho
carno more than half way-t j meet a
charge of his own friend's inventing,
that as yet had no ofliVial stan ling. It
had not been endorsed by that meet
ing, it was not in a shape for him to
handle unless he wishes to answer idle
street gossip and the foolish speeches
of street corner small beer politicians.
Thero are enough of these on both
sides we are sorry to say.
The Herald liked his speech and
agrees with many of his figures arid
personally would like to see the" ave
nues opened and gr.ded, but claims
that then and there was not the time
to make that defense.
If the Mayor and President .n the
Council think honestly that these af en
Ues should be oiened (they have an
undoubted right to think so and others
to dissent) and wished to carry these
measures, by far the better course
would have been to let that meeting
go on, and to have allowed them to
pass the wildest ami most absurd
resolutions they could. The more
severe their strictures the wiMfr their
figures the better for the Council
part-. When tho meeting had made
a shall we say ii, friend Cashing?
aborignes of themselves and shown
their animw. if they had any, then
come forward in a calm, grave and i
As it is, they have awakened an op-

the case as it stands.
if i.i t-, cntlomcn. as if vou '
" f,. ...- , J
had better drop this matter of the
bonds at present, you are even. Xei til
er party has the advantage today. In
fact, "honors are easy" all round. If
it was unwise to call a citizens meet
ing, it was equally unwise for the
friends of tho bonds to attend that
meeting and try to defend them by the
means they did.
If the opponents of the bonds insult
ed the Hon. Mayor and Council by the
accidental wording of the "call," the
Insult has been returned with interest
by the action in regard to the chairman
and the remarks of the Hon. President
of the Council. If one of our citizens
did make some unwise and ierhaps un
merited remarks of a personal nature,
he got as good as he sent, at the time
and place, and certainly the party feel
ing himself aggrieved had immensely
the advantage in iunt of oratorical
effect. If some very foolish things
have been said altout the streets on
one side, they have leeii more than
matched on the other, and if tlie "call"
itself, or any actions of the citizens
implied a threat to the City Council, it
was more than matched by the plain
threat of the Hon. Mayor, lhat they
must leware of how they worded their
letition or the Council would flout it j
to the winds. Thus far it is tit for tat ;
butter for fat; kill my dog I'll kill yn?f
cat.
AN OPINION AS IS AN OFiNfON.-
Both parties claim to have the opin
ion of good lawyers on the validity of
bonds issued, t at one of the lawyers
depended on says his opinion was only
what they term "street corner opin
ions." ft was not bis paid legal opin
ion, and gentlemen, it recur3 to us that
nothing but the decision of the proper
judge can really settle the right to is
sue these bends, and although we have
never read law, we can give you a com
mon sense opinion.
The charter throws three strong re-,
strictions around the issuing of bonds
at all by this city, 1st, that not over
$2,000 shall be issued without a tote
of the people; 2d, that all bonds hHll
run ten years, and lastly, that not to
exceed 20 per cent, of the taxable
property Of the City shall ever be bond
ed. This would show that it was the
intention of the law makers to throw
all the restrictions they could in the
wav of bonding the city, and especially
without a free vote of the ieople. As
it is unusual for any city to allow the
Mayor arxl Council alone the power to
bond Uie city for any but a small stip
ulated amount, perhaps, and it is very
PvifVnt that if thev can bond us for
$6,000 they can for $OT,Ot)0, iri our;
opinion a court would dtide ega'ittst j
the validity of these boCds, therefore, ;
loys, better" take the advice of ibe? .
