Not Enough Cars
To Move Western
Wheat Supply
(From Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Nov. 5. (Special.) The
people of Nebraska might just as well
begin to prepare for many hardships
in connection with the handling of
food commodities, according to Vice
Chairman Coupland of the state coun-
1 of defense.
The government is using so many
cars for the transportation of food
and other necessities needed for the
carrying on of the war that there are
mply not cars enough to carry the
Nebraska grain and the railroads are
powerless to do any better than they
are doing.
Word comes to us, said Mr.
Coupland, "of piles of wheat on the
ground in the western part of the
state and no chance of having it
moved at once. The railroads are
doing the Lest they can, but the prop
osition is beyond their control. De
mands for cars from the northwestern
states is exceedingly strong and the
best thing that can be done is being
done. Our people are up against a
hard proposition and it stands us in
hand to meet it without complaining
and accept the situation as the best
that can be had."

Laverty Proposes
To Compromise on
Ashland Bridge
(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Nov. 5. (Special.) The
purchase of the Ashland toll bridge
across the Platte at that city is still
under consideration by the State
Board of Irrigation. The owners of
the bridge who are represented in the
negotiations by former State Senator
Laverty do not want to sell the bridge
at the figures found by the state rail
way commission engineer to cover
the value of te structure, $20,000.
The bridge company is demanding
$22,000 which the state does not feel
it should give. The proposition cov
ering the deal calls for the payment of
$10,000 by the state and $5,000 each
by Saunders and Sarpy counties. Sen
ator Laverty has made a proposition to
the board to accept the $10,000 of
state money and $5,000 from Saun
ders county. He then asks for the
privilege of retaining possession of
the bridge for 10 months and in re
turn will pay Sarpy county's $5,000 to
the ,bridge company. He estimates
that the receipts in tolls over the
bridge over and above the expenses
will amount to approximately $7,000
and in that way the bridge company
will receive the price they want for
the bridge. If the state obtained
possession, the tolls would be elimi
nated. Kellom School Social
Center Meets Tuesdays
Kellom school community center
will hold its opening program Tues
day night at 8:30 o'clock. Rabbi Mor
ris Taxon will be the speaker. Miss
Mirriam Davis is the director.
