Reaching Pacific Junction, the passengers crossed the Missouri river bv ferrv boat and landed here on July 12. One of those pas sengers Louis F. Kohrell, 87, of Nebraska City, came back to Plattsmouth last week to be here on the anniversary of that famous landing day. Mr. Kohrell recalled that there was a brother and sister besides himself who made the trio with his father and '-Billy" Hassler.' There were no railroads here at that time, he said, and Mam street was much different from what it is now. Mr. Kohrell re mained with his family in the community where he grew to manhood and married. For the past several years he and Mrs. Kohrell have lived in Nebraska Citv. Here to visit with his son. Ed. Mr. Kohrell called on his many friends.

Fiscal Year "There will be no new bridge? constructed, few will be repair ed, and only a limited amount of road re-pair work can be done during the fiscal year 1947-4C, unless additional funds are made available," was the unanimous opinion of the county commis sioners in their special meeting held at the court house day. George Kolzow, of last Fri Lincoln, state accountant, meeting with the board and checking the funds that can be allocated to construc tion and repair of bridges and roads, definitely revealed that only about $51,000 will be avail- able to meet all expenses of the bridge and road funds of Cass county. The most conservative handling of this account, after general day-to-day expenditures are made, will leave little to as sist in bringing Cass roads and bridges back to normal following this year's devastating floods. Although the county as a whole suffered damage to approximate 700 bridges out of its total of 900, it still finds itself in no worse position than 75 other counties of the state that bor der Nebraska's rivers and streams, so stated Mr. Kolzow. He revealed the state auditor's office has two men checking with counties over the state in an ef fort to piece together the serious ness of the plight in which most are confrcntcd. It is estimated that over a mil lion dollars in damage was done to Cass county roads and bridges. With only S51.000 available for the year and with the levy to the peak allowed by Nebraska's con stitution, it will be a long, hard, costly struggle before this or oth er counties of the state will be able to travel their byroads. With bridges costing from $125 to S200 per foot, with near 3400 bridges washed out and damaged in Nebraska, the estimated cost will be over six million dollars for bridges alone. Cass county has about S770.000 of this amount charged to her account. Cass county commissioners have their fingers crossed and are waiting for someone to come up with a "bright idea." Until then, those traveling the roads will have to take the detours, hit the ruts and bumps, and business places in the county will be forc ed to take the loss. The Journal suggests that the Cass County Farm Bureau, the several chambers of Commerce, commercial clubs, and other or ganizations hold some meetings over the county in an effort to outline some program, even i a long-range one, tht will provide the funds and once more get Cass county roads and bridges in a normal state of repair. Commissioners Parr Younr. Charles Stoehr and A. G. Reid have no "magic wand," nor are they aggressive in asking the tax payers of the county for large sums it's a big job and they know it. These men need assist ance, and this newspaper believes it is up to us to give it to them. Which town or organization will be the first to start? Mrs. Fitzpatrick Dies in Omaha Weeping Water.
