C. In returning they spent several davs in Chicago with their son. Professor Mason E. Wescott and family. They re port that the weather wa.s quite comfortable alone the coast un til the last few days when tem temDeratures went up. While in the East Mr. Wescott I mace a business ti 'u to New York City to investigate the pre- sent market in men's wear and to buy for the store here. Cliff states that he found the market very chaotic and spotlv. There is plenty of questionable merchandise but the desirable things, the good quality mer chandise, is still scarce and hard to get. You have to search for it and. without favorable con tacts, cannot get it at all. Men's all-wool hard finish worsteds and gabardines are still scarce and hiehcr than they have been. Good leather coats are higher than they were three months ago. Shirts and under wear of the wanted kinds are very difficult to buy." Altogethe;- the market is a par adox, says Jlr.

District Court In Session Today District Judge Virgill Falloon, Falls City and Reporter Gold smith, are in Plattsmouth today (Mondav) holding an equity jterm of District Court.

Twenty-nine new homes will be erected in Plattsmouth within a few days, according to an an nouncement made by Chairman Dwight Edwards of the Platts mouth Realty Corporation. The new home's, of two and three bi-droom size, will be erec ted in a m w addition to the city to be known as HiUcrest. located on Rock and Marble Streets be tween 13th and 15th in west Plattsmouth. The land has been purchased and laid out-into at tractive building sites, the small est of which will have a 40-foot front. Through the new subdivision will curve a newly paved drive to be known as HiUcrest Boule vard with all homes fronting on this street. Plans, as approved by FHA. allow for garage en trance drives to each home off HiUcrest Boulevard. Bids for grading which will let today (Monday), will terrace the addi tion into a bowl effect giving home owners one of the most at tractive residence districts of the city. . Of steel frame construction, the houses will be 24x34 for the two bedroom and 21x36 for the three bedreom home. Each will have a full basement, complete with gas furnace. Kitchen will have sink and plenty of built in cupboards, while ample closet I space will be available in otiier 1 parts of the home. While no definite price has I been arrived at on the homes when ready for occupancy, the price on the three-be-droom home will not exceed $8,200.. while that I for the two-bedroom home will not go over S7.500. Members of the committee 'representing the Realty Corporation indicate there is good chance of the price running considerable under this figure. While it was expected that this addition would be underway be fore the present time, difficulty experienced by the Realty Cor poration in the purchase of build ing sites and getting final ap proval of plans retarded the con struction project. Now that theses barriers have been surmounted, residents of Plattsmouth will see the beginning of a worthwhile building program in the city that should solve some of the housing problems of the past few years.
