orsd Bssue of $200,000 Seen To Finance Sewage Treatment Pank The Board of Public Works Is contemplating a revenue and bond issue of about $200,000 to fi nance the city's share of pay ment for the new Sewage Treat ment Plant, Board Manager Robert Cappell told the Rotary Club Tuesday noon. He spoke briefly on the con st ruction of the plant, just put into operation, and financing be fore taking the club on a tour of the plant site, just below the Burlington Railroad tracks east of Lower Main Street. Cappell said the current Sewer Use Tax (about 95 per cent of propertyholders pay the residen tial minimum of $1 a month) will raise about $21,000 annually and the current 2'z mill levy for sewer plant and maintenance will provide another $10,000. The $31,000 annual revenue should be adequate to cover ex pense of plant operation and bond retirement, according to the Board's calculations. Cappell today said the public Is invited to visit the plant any time. He remarked that the Ro tary Club, and anyone, would be surprised at the cleanliness and lack of offensiveness of the in stallation. He said a greater percentage of the $182,832 plant cost is in concrete and pipe construction beneath the ground. Units which are visible are the control manhole in which flow to the plant is regulated, a screen ing and shredding device, grit removal unit, pumping station to lift treated sewage to the river when high water level pro hibits usual gravity flow, a con trol building used as office, lab oratory and maintenance head quarters, a primary clarifier where to separate liquids and solids, a digester to digest sludge, sludge drying beds, a dike enclosure topped by a fence and an access road. The outfall sewer, 24 inches to the plant and 27 inches from the plant to the river, cost $102, 828. The total contract cost was $286,000. Engineering, inspec tion, legal, interest, administra tive and miscellaneous costs raise the total to about $315,000. A federal government grant of $73,017, the maximum at the time the grant was approved, is the federal share of construction cost under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Plattsmouth State Bank has fi nanced plant and outfall cost to date. Cappell said the plant was de signed to handle a population of 7,500, the level "normal" forsee able growth will see Plattsmouth attain about 1975. Cappell, Rotary vice president, was program chairman for the day. As guests he had Mayor Grant Roberts, City Councilman Warren Rhylander, City Clerk Albert Olson, City Attorney Har old Lebens, Board of Public Works Chairman C. A. Johnson, Board Secretary John Clbidt Sr., City Engineering Inspector Jim Markham and D. E. Sumpter, construction superintendent for Purtzer and Dutton of Kansas which built the plant.

"Lower and upper weight linv its of 190 and 240 pounds, re spectively, will be enforced at the Nebraska State Fair this year," Williams stated. Ideally, pigs should be five to 5? months of age and weigh 200-225 lbs. when they reach the show ring, and ultimately, the market place, he continued Healthy feeder pigs which are being weaned now (6-8 weeks of age) and weigh 40-50 lbs. can be brought along to market weight by an experienced feed er In approximately three months. Pigs which are in the lower market weight range of 190-220 lbs. at the time most county fairs are held will likely be with in the 240 lb. limit at State Fair time. If 4-H clubbers select feed er pigs from the family herd, they should be separated from the main group and fed separ ately. In any event, the potential show-market hog should come from a gilt or sow known to be desirable as far as backfat is concerned, Williams stressed. Other desirable characters tics include moderate body length, natural muscling over the back and loin, and a deep, plump, meaty ham. The pig should also be trim about the jowl and around the base of the ham. Pigs should be wormed as soon as they are selected, Williams concluded. r JL i. L t L. . t Weeping Water Lyndon B.
