F1eharty and James Keihy Of the
Burlington road to talk over the plans Of
the West Q street vtaduct This viaduct
has long been promised BY the road. which
crosses Q street at Forty-fourth street II
was proposed that the county should pay
for the west approach and the city for the
east approach and that the city and the
county Jointly should pay all appraised
damages which might arise to the property
owners BY reason Of the grades to the
v'aduct or the approaches. There will be
some such damages to pay. for some Of the
property owners have refused % sign
waivers OF damages for the sake Of the
, Improvement. II Is this matter Of the
damages that has caused much OF the
delay. Il now appears that matters have
I been arranged 30 that the work may be
commenced. The city engineer is prepar-
ing plans and specifications for the paving
Of West Q street 20 the city limits. West
OF the proposed viaduct the street is 70
be macadamized for about three miles,
from funds appropriated from the inhertt4
ance tax. The appropriation was made
early last summer, but the work IL only
now on the point Of beginning.
In connection with this Improvement. Il
Is said that the interurban line from
Omaha TO Beatrice by way Of Lincoln ls
again to be funded by eastern capital and
an effort made to bring the system TO
completion. The widow OF one Of the
officials and one of the chief promoters
and stockholders is said to have determined
to continue the work which was begun by
her late husband. Some OF the grading
for this line has already been completed
as far as sarpy Mills.
It is likely the Omaha & Southern Inter
urban line will be continued to Plattsmouth
before cold weather sets in.

beautifully decorated with May baskets and

Each guest was presented with a miniature
apron with hand-painted designs on the
linen. Each guest received letter In which
was verse touching upon the supposed
guarded secret Of her affairs. Much mer-
riment was found in the reading and the
comments upon these bits Of nonsense. A
dainty luncheon was served at D. m. il
was the last meeting Of the club until the
season opens next fall
