PLATTE RIVER
BRIDGE FUNDS
V GUARANTEED
Work Expected to Begin This
: Fall and Structure Fin
: ished Early Next
? Year.
1 Funds for the construction of the
I Wagon bridge over the Platte river
'on the line of the West Center
ctreet road and near Yutan are as
sured. This information was given
out yesterday following a meeting
of members of the retail trade and
trade extension committees of the
Chamber of Commerce, the Douglas
county commissioners and business
men of Yutan and Wahoo, Saunders
county.
" The Platte river bridge, to be
erected at the west end of the Cen
ter street paving, is to cost about
$135,000. At the meeting yesterday,
Alfred Brodahal, Yutan; George
Davis, E. E. Plocheck and R. H.
Parks, vVahoo and a dozen others,
mostly farmers of Saunders county,
told the chamber committees that
practically all of the $33,400 re
quired of Saunders county had been
pledged. The Douglas county com
missioners asserted that the Doug
las county share. 33,400, is on hand
in the bridge fund and can be drawn
against when needed.
The one-half cost of the bridge,
of $66,800 is to be paid by the state
and out of the permanent road and
bridge fund. It was stated that this
money is on hand and available.
It is the opinion that work on the
construction of the bridge will be
gin this fall and that the structure
will be finished early next year, or
by the time the Center street pav
ing is laid up to the east approach.
At the meeting yesterday, Saund
ers county citizens assured the Oma
hans that paving will be continued
through Saunders county and that
it is quite probable that some of the
work will be done this year.
Court-Martial Ordered.
Washington, July 25. Secretary
Baker Friday signed an order ap
pointing a general court-martial to
be held at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.,
for the trial of "such persons as may
