City Council Proceedings.


The city council held a short session
yesterday afternoon as committee Of the
whole to consider certain matters which
had been referred to II at the last session.
In the matter of the application OF
Messrs Cooper and Kepner to purchase
from the city a portion of Eleventh street
where it runs into Fourth avenue and
stops the chairman of the committee on
city property was left to wrestle with 1t
and submit a recommendation at the next
meeting Of the council. City Solicitor KIM
ball has given his opinion that the city
has the right to vacate this portion OF the
street and sell it, IL II so desires. Messrs
Cooper and Kepner offer $500 for the strip.
Similar action was taken in the matter
of the application of A. Lorenzen to pur-
chase a small three-cornered piece of
ground owned by the city between Thir-
teenth street and Indian creek. Lorenzen
has made an offer of $3.50 for the lot.
Regarding the drainage pipe from the
property of the General hospital, at Pierce
and Oak streets, it was decided that a
sewer should be built to connect 1t with
the main sewer. and the city engineer was
directed to report on this at the next meet
ing.
The councilmen viewed two or three
pieces Of property, the owners of which
had filed protests against assessments for
paving.

Norfolk stands as a gateway to a

region. Farmers many miles further

1t is we'll enough to ask for better
freight rates and do what can be done
to gain them, but even those who ad-
vocate tearing down the present Nor

of showing fight, admit that there is
no way of forcing - no fighting or
threatening or punishing-that will ac-
complish the desired concessions.
And so why not look Norfolks sit
uation calmly in the face, and act
with common sense? Why not put
aside frenzied abuse in an effort to
gain for the city what is, under pres.
ent laws, as impossible to gain as the
capital of the United States, and adopt
sane policy of building up what can
be built up rather than tearing down
all that we have left?
Why not get together in an orga-

are right at our door first of all?
Why not cut out the destructive pol
icy and get together on ideas that
will build. Construction, not destruc.

THIS PLAN MADE GOOD.

Crowds resembling u circus throng
arrived in Norfolk this morning to at
tend clothing sales that are now being
held. Many came from n distance of
fifty miles and some came from as far
away as 125 miles to take advantage
of the special bargains being offered,
At the store whose sale had been
most extensively advertised, thirty-five
salespeople proved incapable of hand
ling the purchasers and 1t was neces-
sary because of the crowds, to close
the doors every ten minutes and to
keep them closed until the crowd then
inside had been waited on.-Norfolk
Daily News, December Z, 1904
The News contends that Norfolk has
splendid opportunity to expand in
a retail way, and the sales that were
held during the month Of December.
1904, demonstrated this fact beyond a
shadow of doubt. The item quoted
above in no way eXaggerates the size
of the crowds which flocked to Nor
folk on December Z, the opening day
OF the sales, Probably more business
was transacted by Norfolk stores on
that day than on any other day in the
history of the town. as most of the mer'
chants surpassed all previous records
on that occasion
The incident is brought to mind al
this time for the purpose of showing
that a bargain day idea, If properly
planned and organized by the Com
mercial club, and supported by the
merchants, could be made winner.
This is one of the plans that can b'
successfully developed for the benefi
of Norfolk. 1t is not a dream and /
Is not out of reach.

NORFOLK MAY GIT A BAND
MUSICIANS OF THE CITY WILL
PROBABLY ORGANIZE.
MOVEMENT is STARTED TODAY
All That Is Lacking Just Now is a
Tuba Player-WiIl Ahlmann, on Sug-
eestion Of r. C. Smith, Has Begun a
Canvass Of the Musicians.

A brass band will in all probability
be Immediately organized in Norfolk.
A move looking to that end was start
ed today and 1t is said that there is
every reason to believe 1t will succeed.
There are enough musicians In the city
at the present time, it is claimed, to
make up the entire organization, ex-
cepting a tuba player and a man to
blow this instrument will be hunted up
at once. If the band is organized, it
will be under the leadership of some
outside bandmaster, as there Is no one
in the city who wants to undertake to
lead the playing.
The first step looking toward the
band organization was taken today by
r. c.. Smith, himself a cornet player,
who believes that band would be
good thing for Norfolk in more ways
than one. He suggested the project to
VIII Ahlrnanp, who has been identified
with bands in the past, and Mr.. Ahl-
mann agreed to start out and see what
could be done with the project. He
declined absolutely, however, to as
sumo leadership of the band and it was
his opinion that a bandmaster must
come from outside of town to make
the organization a success.
1t is argued by those who are push
ing the organization that Norfolk
needs brass band which can enliven
the air about town. Band concerts
once a week, it is claimed, would be
as effective as cement in bringing Nor
folk people closer together. 1t would
lend cheer to the town that can not
be gained in any other way Band
music, it is argued, would give an ad-
ditional attraction to the farming
friends of Norfolk, who would appre-
ciate the feature fully as much as
townsfolk.
There are bands in almost all of the
smaller towns in Nebraska. At Hadar,
town of sixty-seven inhabitants five
miles north Of Norfolk, there are two
bands, each of them first class.
1t is said that contributions from the
business interests for the maintenance
of band would not need to be large.
Whether or not the business men of
the city will support the institution,
however, is just now the question
whose answer, it is claimed, will de-
termine whether or not the band is or
ganized.
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1906-08-10

The News admits it Is prejudiced,
1t is prejudiced in favor of Norfolk.
II is partial to the idea of building up
the city along lines that are possible,
rather than batting our heads against
a stone wall and gaining nothing. The
News believes that If roads open to
Norfolk's progress had been travelled
for a score of years with as much zeal
as some have devoted during that time
in trying to batter down gates that
are locked and too high to climb, the
city would have been several miles to
the good. And since there is nowhere
a key with which to unlock the gates
even though that unlocking would ad
nit us to lanes of gold, and since
there is apparently no prospect what
ever of there being a key in the neal
future, why not for the time being take
the roads that are open to us-roadS
which we know can not only be trav
eled but which will lead us to much
better pastures than we now enjoy?

Among the other things which Con
gresham Mccarthy failed at, but
which he is going to try to push
through next year, according to Wash

We don't know just what relief the
Nye-Schneider company was in need
of, but this shows that Mr.. Mccarthy
did not devote every bit of his time
in Washington to the interests of the
common pee-pul, as he would have us
think, and It may also show why one
Fremont faction loves him so,

The News has afl that II owns In
Norfolk. Norfolk's progress means n
MT for The News just as for all other
business institutions and properties in
the town. II might be just as well,
therefore, to give The News credit for
common horse sense enough to be ad-
vocating policy which II believes VIII
benefit rather than retard Norfolk.
We take It that there Is not a business
man In this community who would de-
liberately do anything that would hold
down the towns progress. There are
simply differences of opinion as to
what ought to be done in order to go
ahead. Those who believe that fren-
lied Industrial antagonism in a hope
less effort to get concessions to which
we may be entitled but which they
themselves admit are out Of reach,
have failed after fifteen years of con
stant agitation to point out any way
of landing the prize. The News be
leves that Norfolk would profit by
turning our energies into paths that
are open to us just now and that there
will he time to make an effort for con
ccssions which are now impossible,
when new conditions may have brought
those concessions within our grasp
In the meanwhile let us get busy and
do some of the many things that can
be done and ought to be done and
which will help every business man
in Norfolk

The News has always been willing
and will always be willing to make a
fight for anything that will help Nor
folk and which there is a reasonable
prospect of gaining. 1t believes that
agitation Is out Of order when there is
absolutely no prospect Of winning the
point desired, and when that agitation
can not fail, in one way and another,
to injure Norfolk. One of the most
injurious effects is the fact that hope.
less internal irritation on impossible
theories, prevents the town from unit

possible.
