MAYOR WANTS
A FREE BRIDGE
TO lOVA SIDE
.
Omaha and Bluffs Officials
Anl Chambers of Commerce
'Working on Proposition,.
-, Smith Announces Friday. -
One of the projects which Mayor
' Smith has determined to accomplish
before his term expires, is the con
struction of a free bridge by the city
across the Missouri river between
( Omaha and Council Bluffs. A state
ment outlining hie position and rea
sons for building the bridge as
issued by Majror Smith yesterday..
PfAtimin,vif .J il. ' .
tiiiiioijr wuin. Luwdiu llic lor
mulation of the project which has
- been under consideration for some
time, has met with the approval of
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce
and the mayor and other city 'offi
cials of Council Bluffs which would
Jte asked to share in the expense of
the improvement which would be
met by the sale of bonds.
Wants Toll Removed.
- MayofSmith is impressed that the
development and expansion of Oma
ha, 'already handicapped by a serious
shortage of houses, demands that the
barrier of a toll bridge between the
cheap residential properties avail
able to workers on the Iowa side of
the river be removed as quickly as
possible. It is contended that it is
an injustice and an injury to hnn-
' trlrrrix nf Omaha mnrUr, ;n
- Council Bluffs to be compelled to
pay tolls and that, with the future
development of the Lincoln High
way and various good road pro-
: jects in both states, Omaha will fur
ther suffer through the presence of
a. toll bridge as the only means of
entrance into the city. Mayor Smith's
statement fpllows: .
faayor Smith's Statement.
- - ...... Q j i vsuiu line
to accomplish before going out of
thfi, may.or's office, is to secure a free
bridge across the river between
T Omaha and Council Bluffs. -I hope
R see this brought about by co-operation
between the two cities; Our
interests are mutual and I believe
it would be greatly to the advantage
of both citie.
"The people of western Iowa are
.Intensely loyal to Omaha. They
come to this city by. the hundreds
Vl and thousands and trade with us.
- The Lincoln Highway is destined to
be the great automobile thorough
fare across the continent. When
our good roads program is fully
under headway, the traffic on that
highway will be very great. The
barrier in the,-way of a toll trade,
which tends to keep people out of
Omaha, should be removed. The
mor nensiv it i fnr fiprtnl in
t ' " - - -' t 1
' come into tn ritv. the 1ms thcr will
be who come.
Hundreds Cross Daily.
"There are hundreds of persons
who live on one side of the river
but whose places of employment anjl
', labor are on the other side. It is an
injury and n injustice to them to
pay bridge 'toll every time they go
(' to and from their "work. vThe bridge
.1 . i . . , f
, over ine river ougni 10 De as iree
as our streets. '
(-"I have this matter under con
sideration with the mayor of Coun
cil Bluffs, have gone over the matter
I with Mr. Brogan, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and I hope
to see .both cities united in this pro
ject and work it out."
Water DoardMay lum
uas riant to v.ouncu
Suggestion by Butler
City Commissioner Dan .B. But
ler states that if the Metropolitan
Water board believes that the city
' is imposing burdensome conditions
"in turning over the gas plant at the
appraised valuation, then it wouid
seem to him that it would be wise to
ask the legislature next winter to
transfer the gas plant management
to the city council.
"The city commission will op
erate the gas plant without loss, in
my judgment, at or about IS cents
per 1,000 feet below what the Omaha
Gas company can operate," the
commissioner said. "Itt is my judg
ment that the city council can pro
cure the services bf a competent gas
plant operar who will econom
" ically produce the desired results.
"If members of the Water board
have figures or estimates which rea
sonably indicate that it will be nec
essary to charge $1.55 or any rate
above that now bxing charged by
the company, I would like to have
such-figutcs submitted to the xity
council. or made public so that they
may be submitted by the , city
to some unquestionably competent
, - ,,
person or analysis.
Creajpery Butter Men Offer
' y Country Calf Club Prizes
Cash prizes of $50 for each coun
ty calf club in Nebraska were de
cided on at a meeting of the Cream
ery Butter" Makers' association at
the Chamber of Commerce yester
day.; The prize will be awarded for at
least three years. The director of
each calf club in the stafe will have
charge of distributing the prize
" money.
Heifer calves of dairy breeds are
favored by creamery 'men. The ag
ricultural bureau of the Chamber of(
Commerce called the meeting. H.'
, F. Mcintosh, , manager, explained
the desirability of offering prizes.
Police Substations In Home
Districts Yet In Plan Stage
Police Commissioner Ringer is
working out a plan of establishing
small substations for police protec
tion in the residence districts.
The tentative idea is to detail two
policemen for each eight-hour shift
to. each station. One man will re
main in the station and his assopiate
will patrol the district on a motor
cycle, reporting to the substation
hourly in the same manner that pa
trolmen now report to Central sta
tion. - V i .
The substations will be connected
by direct telephone to Central sta
tion. .
