FORMING LEAGUE.
Six Nebraska Towns Enter and Apply
for National Protection.

for National Protection.
Grand Island, Feb. 12.-Delegates
from Fremont, Seward, Hastings. SUI
perior, Red Cloud and Grand Island

to meet at Hastings on Monday even
ing next to adopt the constitution and
bylaws which will be drafted in this
city today by special committee
consisting of the Messrs. Palmer of
Fremont, Morgan of Seward and Slew
ers of Grand Island.
Temporary organization was perfect
ed by the election of Attorney j. l..
Cleary as chairman and A. F. Buechler
as secretary. Manager Rourke Of the
Omaha team was present and aided
very materially in framing up the out
line for the organization. The meet
ing passed upon various propositions
as an aid to the constitution commit
tee tomorrow. All of the six towns
named made formal application to
enter a state league, and the tempo
rary secretary was instructed immed-
lately to communicate with Secretary
Farrell, of the national association of
baseball clubs, for protection of the
territory calculated to be embraced
in the Nebraska league until formal
application could be made.
1t was declared the sense of the
meeting that each club put up cash
bond of $500 that it will play out
the season, and that for the gener-
al league expenses after organization
is perfected assessments be made by
the board of directors; that for i'm
mediate expenses each club pay $25
to the treasurer to be elected at the
next meeting; that the salary limit
of each team, including manager, shall
| be $500 that after the first two weeks
of playing no team carry more than
| twelve men, exclusive of manager;
! that visiting and home teams have an
equal division of the general admis
sions, the home team reserving grand
stand receipts; that no general admis
sion be less than 25 cents and that the
visiting team be guaranteed $50 per
game played; the matter of playing
games during rainy weather or wet
grounds being left temporarily with
the home team,
Four of the six towns represented
informally declared their choice for
president of the league to be Henry
| Sievers of this city.
Manager Rourke consented to re
main over to assist the constitution
| committee. The temporary officers
were instructed to invite any further
cities that show an interest to attend
the meeting at Hastings Monday
night.
1t is proposed to have a schedule
OF about 100 games for each club. The
schedule committee will be appoint
' ed at the Hastings meeting.

Norfolk Needs General Manager.

Norfolk, Feb. 12.-Editor News:
The action of the Commercial club
members in re.electing the entire
board of directors was graceful com
pliment and no doubt we'll deserved.
1t is evident to everybody that this
board had done all that could be
done-with the weapons at their dis
posal. 1t Is absolutely necessary in
this age to act in harmony and unity
for common purposes and interests.
Without these conditions prevailing
among the city's business men but lit
tie progress-if any at all-can be
made.
The time seems finally to have ar
rived, when Norfolk in real earnest.
ness is laying plans to build a city
worthy of the name. If recent actions
by the council, and the oft more state
ments by city officials and private cit
liens, as we'll as by the press-if these
statements are to be taken in earnest
the day seems indeed close at hand,
when our city can point with pride to
her paved streets.
This Improvement is, after all, the
first step towards real growth and
advancement. A paved street is Just
as necessary to city, if that city ex-
poets ever to amount to anything, as
a floor is to dwelling.
And for Norfolk's sake hope there
is something more than mere politics
behind the movement.
But the business interests of Nor
folk must not fold their arms and
stand idly by and at the same time ex-
pect any great things to come to them,
merely by having a Commercial club
and paved street You cannot with
any justice to yourself expect that
these directors shall all the time neg
lect their own business in the in
terest of the city at large. They are
willing to do what bodies like these
usually perform, but Norfolk happens
just now to want something more.
If the city is going to advance-and
if only in measure fulfil the hopes
and dreams of it's people-a campaign
of progressive and concerted work
must be inaugurated. We cannot ex-
pect that all of this can be done by
the directors. They all have their
private business interests to look af.
ter. that in a greater or less degree
lay claim to their time and efforts.
What Norfolk needs-and ought to
have-is a general manager-or If
you please, Commercial club COM
missioner. With over 100 business
men financially and morally interest
ed in the upbuilding and the future
greatness and Importance of the city,
there should be no great obstacles in
the way of raising sum sufficient to
hire such man. What sort of man
we could secure for this position
would entirely rest with the salary
offered.

ests would feel well satisfied over the
investment at the end of the year.

Council Should Publish Plan.

Norfolk Neb., Feb. II. - Editor
News: | am satisfied you have no in
tention of being unfair to any citizen
of Norfolk, yet the matter in The
News of yesterday, relative to paving
is in effect condemning property own
ers who do not sign the petition for
paving. Now, as / look at it, we are
asked to sign up, without knowing
what kind of paving we are to have
what the cost will be, or what the
conditions Of payment will be; and
after the experience we have had with
the sewer proposition. and the sloven'
ly manner in which the work was
done and the condition the street was
left in, is evidence that our money is
not wisely or economically expended
and it is quite time this matter should
be carefully thought out.
1t is estimated it will cost about
s. to pave from the bridge 70
Seventh street all which must be paid
by those who own property facing on
Norfolk avenue, excepting possibly the
street intersections. The property
owners have nothing to say but pay
cash, or else find their properties en-
numbered with an interest bearing
lien. Add to this the special sewer
tax and the regular taxes, which for 1908
were much higher than heretofore, and
it certainly calls for reform in our city
affairs, and, while | recognize the need
of paving, the plan and its cost should
be first clearly laid before the prop
