PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOTTWTAL THURSEAY. JULY 31. 1941. BELLEVUE NEWS Open Bids for Bellevue Sewer Thursday Nite City Council Has 'Hot' Session Total of Ten Bids Defer Letting Until Aug. 7 Literally speaking it was a 'hot session of the Bellevue city council Thursday evening, when bids were opened and tabulated covering ma terials for the town's enlarged sew age system and treatment plant. The council chamber was crowded with material dealers and onlookers when Mayor Freeman called the ses sion to order at eight o'clock and everyone in the room was wringing wet from sweat. Later a fan was brought in and helped some to re lieve the situation. There were a total of ten bidders. of whom five were bidding on items 1 to S. inclusive, being the tile, el bows, Ts, etc. These bids ran from a high of $20,3S4.90 to a low of $19,539.34, using vitrified clay tile. For concrete tile, the one bid submitted was for ?15, 347.36. The five bidders on this were as follows: Iowa Pipe & Tile Co.$19, 925.39 What Cheer Clay 19,997.36 Lehigh Pipe & Tile 19,539.34 Cement Prod. (Cone) 15,347.36 W. F. Dickey Mfg. 20.3S4.90 Material for the sewage treatment plant, absorbed in other bids, is to cost in the neighborhood of $4,500, according to C. W.

The comparative low bids for the required sewer tile in the different sizes, clay and concrete, were as follows, per foot: Clay Tile Cement 12-inch $ .45 $ .36 10-mch .35 .2S 8-inch .25 .20 6-inch .18 .14 Due to f the absence of Mr. Hen ningson in Washington, motion by Rosser seconded by Covington that the board defer letting of contract until Thursday night, August 7, at an adjourned session, was carried by unanimous vote and the group were able to get away from the hot meeting room and out into the open by 10 o'clock. The Bellevue sewer system is to cost in the neighborhood of $130,000 for material and labor, with the Fed eral Government participating to a large degree as a part of the defense 15 MINUTES FROM BELLEVUE TO PLATTSMOUTH STATE BANK A CONVENIENT BANKING CONNECTION .

The existing sewer that covers a part of the north end of town is to be enlarged and feeder lines laid throughout the south part of town. Outlet sewer will go under the rail road tracks off 22nd avenue, a block north of Mission, to the treatment plant that is being provided now and may later be added to by the instal lation of complete disposal equip ment. The treatment plant will comply with any demands that may be made by the government in a law now be fore congress to prohibit dumping of untreated sewage into a navigable river, but will not be as efficient (or nearly as costly) as a complete dis posal plant. LEGIONNAIRES INVITED TO PIATTSMOUTH POST MEETING Bellevue Legionnaires who in the early days of the organization used to visit with and be visited by Platts mouth post members even though it required crossing a toll bridge to do so, and then for some unaccountable reason ceased their inter-city visits when toll was no longer required, are to renew acquaintanceship this coming week. Invitation has been extended by Plattsmouth post to the local service men to attend the an nual meeting for installation of of ficers to be held at Holly's cabin on the Platte (three-quarters of a mile east of Bell sand pits and reached by entering gate near the railroad tracks a quarter mile south of the pits and following marked road thru the pasture) Thursday evening, Aug ust 7. A buffet lunch will follow the meeting. We doubt if Randal Biart and the boys will take the kiddy kars they once took on a Legion visit to Plattsmouth for an exciting race in competition with riattsmouth Legion members in fact we doubt if some of the local ex-service men could ride the kars now with one-tenth of the agility they exhibited some 20 years back to win four out of five heats from the riattsmouth rocking chair softies. BUILDINGS AT FORT CROOK Representative McLaughlin was advised early this week by the War Department that four contracts for further improvements at Fort Crook have been awarde(d.

The total of these contracts is slightly over $205,000 and a lot of man hours of work are involved in their performance. DEATH OF FORMER BELLE VUEAN Services were held Tuesday for Dr. Pfcank A. Hugins, laboratory di rector for the Grain Belt Serum com pany in South Omaha. Dr. Hugins was a former Bellevue resident and interment was in the Bellevue cemetery. Courtesy Parking Withdrawn from Sarpy Motorists Drastic Action by Omaha Commission Said Taken at Request of .Merchants' Groups. "If thine enemy smite thee on the right cheek, turn the left" doesn't seem to court favor with Bellevue and Sarpy county residents, who are now singled out to be deprived of restriction-free parking courtesies ex tended to cars from outstate coun ties. The resolution adopted by the Omaha city commission Monday at the request of Police Commissioner Jepsen provides that Sarpy county residents must pay to leave their cars in metered stalls and must ob serve other parking restrictions, and is regarded, as a direct slap in the face. It was described by Jepsen as "in line with the wishes of merchant groups, especially on the south side." Bellevue residents who have been accustomed to trading with South Omaha stores feel they will not "turn the other cheek." In fact, there was quite general txpression among Bellevue people on Tuesday evening after publication of the action by the city commission that the time is ripe to begin hunt ing another trading center. Platts mouth was freely mentioned, and a friendly inter-town feeling is being created through the entry of the Journal into Bellevue to provide the people here with a news service that is second only to a paper of their own. Several prominent Bellevue resi dents expressed indignation that the people of Sarpy county who have un doubtedly been contributing more to the upkeep of Omaha business in stitutions than any other outstate county should be treated in this man ner. There are 3,400 Sarpy county cars now under the ban of restricted parking regulations and payment of parking meter fees as a result of this drastic resolution, while the cars from every other outstate county still enjoy restriction-free parking privi leges. "It is certainly an unappreciative way to treat old friends" was the concensus of opinion of a group of Bellevueans gathered to discuss this latest edict by the city commission ers of the- metropolis. MEMBERS OF MUTZ FAMILY HERE Sunday Harry, Jessie, John and Jay Mutz, of Maryville, Missouri, were in the city to visit for a short time and also visited at Eight Mile Grove, their old home, Murray and Weeping: Water.
