Stage show was set for 8 p.m. Saturday. A ribbon-cutting ceremony at the bridge took place Friday afternoon as Nebraska Gover nor Victor Anderson clipped the tape. Thai gave Nebraska City its first free bridge and ended 25 years of toll-taking on this bridge since it was built, just 13 years after the Plattsmouth river bridge was built further upstream, where toll is still collected. ' Though the ceremony was Friday afternoon, the real cer emony took olace at midnight. As rain dripped and a half dozen .people stood by, Mayor Victor Bremer shook hands with Henry Mead of Nebraska City and then waved at him across the Nebraska City bridge the first nonpaying customer of the toll free era. It was the event of a century, because, for the very first time, Nebraska City had a toll free crossing of the Missouri river. Looking on was Street Com missioner F. E. Ziegenbein, who was mayor in 1940 when the city bought Waubonsie bridge, set up the financing on a revenue amortization basis with '.the hone that the span would be paid for in the future. The foresight of Doctor Ziegenbein and his co-councilmen of 15 ! years ago paid off July 1. It was something like a wake as the few people able to get inside the tiny toll house gath ered at 11:45 p.m. Thursday to wait for midnight. Present were City Clerk. Ethel Gaskill, Bridge Board Secretary Helen Leidigh, J. H. Sweet, former member of the bridge board; Arthur Sweet, a present member; George Shelt er, head collector on the bridge, Loren Smith, who was on duty on the 10 p.m. to midnight shift; Harold Rowe, photo grapher for the World-Herald, and a miscellaneous gathering of people waiting for the "hour". Irving Mitchell of Tabor, la., who. with his sons Charles and Steven, arrived at 11:50, driving to the bus station, had the du bious honor of being the last driver to pay a cash toll. " A few minutes later Clarence Specht and his wife crossed, paying the toll from a coupon book. Autos parked on the Nebraska City side jockeyed ior position at the toll house to become the first to cross, but the honor fell to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mead, who has used the bridge for years as residents of both Iowa and Nebraska. Someone said it was mid night. Mayor Bremer shook Mead's hand and the parade was on. Several hundred cars whizzed by the toll house in the first hour trying to become nccustomed to the fact that they didn't have to stop at the toll collector's station. State Highway Engineer Herb Schwaderer"s crew put up warning signs Thursday after noon in an effort to keep the traveling public from crashing other at the curve on the west end of the bridge. Within a month a new high way going straight into the west entrance of the bridge will have been completed by the state of Nebraska. The con tractor is working' on it now.
