In regard to the plans for the ap praisal of the water plant here, Mr. Ilenningsen stated that he would need the last appraisal to start in the task of bringing it down through the five-year period and asked the city to secure the last appraisal. He was informed by T. H. Pollock that he had contacted the head offices of the Plattsmouth Water corporation, at Fortland. Maine, and they had promised sending the Burgess ap praisal, that should be here in a few days. Mr. Henningsen stressed the need for action on these matters. Touching on the matter of paving of Chicago avenue, Mr. Henningsen stated that in view of the heavy travel on highway No. 75. through the city, he was certain a fifty per cent grant"could be secured from the PWA. On the Chicago avenue paving the engineer was of the opin ion that a new heavy concrete pav ing would be better than brick with a concrete base. The soil condition along the lew places on Chicago ave nue made the brick paving less desir able in the opinion of the engineer and he believed that the new con 1. iJ . , , . .

Murphy, in which the plaintiff seeks recovery as the result of an auto accident near Union on July 10, 1941. The plaintiff rsks $3,570 for dam ages on count one and $660 on count two. The plaintiff sots forth in the petition that on the date of July 10th plaintiff was traveling south on highway No. 75 as the defendant was driving his car east on highway No. 34. At the intersection of the two highways it is alleged the de fendant failed to stop at the stop sign and drove through to crash into the car of the plaintiff. The $3,570 is for personal clam age for injuries and the $660 for damages to the car of the defendant. Tom Dunbar of Nebraska City and James F. Begley of this city repre sent the plaintiff. The growth of weeds that has ac cumulated at the east end of the Main street park, located between Cth and 7th streets has grown so f ri that soon it will obscure the traffic sign located there. It is a very unsightly object and especially in the center of the business part of he city.
