1,... 1942 the City of Grand Island leased its municapal Airport, con-
2isting of some 1900 acres of ground, runways, hangar, and adminis-
vration building, to the army. The Army improved the property, build-
'-~-b' runways (some 7,000 feet in 1 ength), and constructed additional
wulldings and hangars for a bomber base to a total of approximately
540 buildings. This lease was for the duration of the Emergency and
six months at the conclusion of which the airfield is to revert to the
Ci ty. A supplemental agreement "vas entered into., whereby the Govern-
_.~el1t agreed that th ey would not dispose of any of the buildings or
improvements without the consent of the City of Grand:Bland.
W_ile the airfield was still under the Army's control, an "intermin
permi t and operating license" was offered to the City. T1is permi t
.~ould have given cbntrol of the field to the City, pending negotia-
tions between the Ci ty and th e Governmen t. I t was not acted upon.
~le Army turned thwir interest in the airfield over to tile War Assets
Ad.ministration for idsposition. Since the WAAls mission is to dispose
v.!.' tl,,, Government's interest, an interfum permit is no longer possible.
WAA effects transfer through the signing of a form application by the
receiving agency. The City of Grand Island signed and submitted such
an application only after deleting from it some 15 clauses which it deemed
objectionable. The principal objections are 1) use of buildings for
manufacturing or industrial uses is prohibited, 2) the City would be
required to maintain all buildings and runways, and 3) all interest in
tile ownership, possession or use by the City could be forfeited by the
violation of any of the provisions of the contract. ~his application
was returned to the City by the WAA as being unacceptable to them with
the clauses deleted.
At this stage the Bureau of Reclamation applied for the obtained fee
ti tIe in some 15 or 20 acres and the buildings and improvements thereon.
This area is the hospital buildings.
Late in December 8.. confer4nce was held in Grand Island between the
City Officials and CAA, in an attempt to consummate a contract. At this
time the CAA assisted the City in inducing the WAA to include in the
transfer all of the buildings except those transferred to the Bureau
of Reclamation and 15 other buildings.
The transfer of these buildings was to be under Regulation 16 of Public
L~w 289, and would not involve any cost to the City. As a result of
the agreements reached at this onference, a signed application was
to be forwarded to the WAA. The City Officials have not signed not
forwarded the application.
The Board of Directors of the Junior Chamber of Commerce agrees, along
with all of the respensible officials interviewed, that certain clauses
in the application are objectionable. However, in view of the exper-
ience of the City of Lincoln, Nebraska in signing such a basic applica-
tion without deletions, and thus acquiring and operating the Lincoln
.

\. -, ~ ,--~!
Airfield, and of the State Aeronautics Commission in acquiring and
operating numerous airfields throughout the State (Fairmont, Harvard,
Ainsworth, McCook, Scrih~er), we do not find these clauses a bar to
the signing of the application. This conclusion is further validated
by the expressed opinion of Mr. Max Kier, in an interview held with
the Aviation Committee of the Junior Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 3, 1945.
The advantages to be gained by the immediate possession, control, and
operation of the airfield far 0utweigh any forseeable advantage to be
gained further procrastination.
We recommend that the Mayor and his Airport Committee of the City Council,
make an immediate trip to the War Assets Administration offices in
Kansas City, to negotiate and sign the most advantageous contract
possi ble.

G~ntlemen:
At the present time your v\ater and Light Department has
no mechanical equipment for- breaking pavement or frozen ground
to more economically facilitate the installation of water main
taps and repairing broken services and water mains, and the in-
stallation of electric light poles.
After an investigation of several different types of air
nammer equipment, we have concluded that the most economical
apparatus VI/ould be the Barco, Model H, 6-B hammer, which sells
.Lor $410.00 F.O.B. Chicago. A description of this hammer and
letter is attached.
I believe' this hammsr v,!ould pay for itself in a short v\hile,
in time saved. The City of Grand Island cemetery ha~3 had one of
l..nese hammers in use for over a year and reports the same very
satisfactory. I would like to reconwend that this department be
given authori ty to purchase one of these hammers.

On motion of

of credi tors in making settlement.
February 20, 1948.
Honorable Mavor and Members of the City Council,
Grand Island: J.~ebraska.
Gen tl emen:
This communication is to advise you that Clifford F. Hicks is
indebted to the City in the amount of $41.05, for meat inspections
for the months of July to November, inclusive, of 1946.
The "friter has personally contacted lVlr. Hicks on several oc-
casions, in order to have this accoun t taken care of. On each
occasion Mr. Hicks assured the writer that he would take care
of the account, but up to the present time, he has failed to do so.
Today v\e have received a letter from Harry Grimmlnger, attorney
for JIIlr. Hicks, advising that l\l<r. hicks has consulted with him
regarding his financial condition. It seems that Mr. Hicks has
unsecured obligations totaling approximately $1,600.00, and Mr.
GrinMinger proposes that llir. hicks deposit the sum of $25.00 per
mon th vvi th him, v,;hich is to be di stri bu ted semiannually among his
credi tors, and would like to know if this arrangemen t vvould be
satisfactory vd th us.
Kindly advise if such an arrangement would be satisfactory
with you.
Very truly yours,
Emil H. Vieregg,
Ci ty Treasurer.

~onstruction of the Eddy Strset Underpass. Ordinance No. 2179 recites
vflat the westerly Seventeen and on/tenth (17.1) feet is condemned for
vHat purpose. The land taken is only Seven and one/tenth (7.1) feet.
The statute under which this land is condemned does not reci te
what to do in case of an error, so I am relying upon section l6~603
....1. the 1943 Statutes, which is as follows:
"Such ordinance, appropriating property, shall
be published in one issue of a newspaper published
in the city, of general circulation therein, as
much as thirty days before the day of-meeting
of the assessors. Such publication shall be
sufficient notice to such owners and parties
interested as do not reside in the city, and all
parties having only equitable interest; but, as
:1m owners in fee residing i:n the city, the city
clerk shall deliver to each of them, or ~nen
o~~ers be not found, to some person at their
respective residences, the newspaper containing
such ordinances, at the same time calling atten-

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Grand I sland, ~~ ebraska.
Gentlemen:
This is to advise that on April 9, your Water and Light
Commissioner was served with notice by the Kansas-Nebraska Natural
Gas Company, inc., from whom we purchasvnatural gas which is used
in City Power Plant for fuel, that at the termination of our
present contract which is July 1, 1948, a new contract would be
tendered which would increase the present rates approximately 22%.
I am making report to you at this time regarding this matter,
in order that the Mayor and Council may take the matter up and
recommend further procedure.
C. W. Burdick
Commissioner
On motion of Campbell, seconded by Walker, report was referred
to Ice, Water and Light Committee.
April 14, 1948.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Grand Island, Nebraska.
G eIf tl em en :
y
'\,
We, your committee on Viater and Light, wish to report that
Mr. M. W. Ashton has purchased a tract of land abutting on the
south of the Cityts property on which is located a City well and
pump station. This property is located southeast of the intersec-
tion of South Locust Street and Stolley State Park Road.
Mr. Ashton proposes to build a filling station and tourist
camp on this property, which will require the installation of a
sanitary sewer system to accommodate the camp. 0ince a system of
this kind and wi thin" the pumping area of the well would create a
hazard and menace to the City well, your committee has contacted
Mr. Ashton and he is willing to furnish a restrictive agreement to
be recorded and go with the land which will require him to make a
proper and safe installation of sanitary sewers to be constructed
under the Ci tyt s supervision and pass inspection of the State Board
of Health, providing the City will at it's expense build the initial
sewer system consisting of one septic tank and leaching field and
the necessa.ry connecting piping between the septice tank and leach-
ing field. The estimated expense of tilis will be approximately
$800.00.
Your committee has considered the cost of condemning the entire
tract and purchasing same as against the expense of constructing a
sani tary sewer system with a restrictive agreement, and wish to
.
I
I
I
.
(' n ,
:~ t~:, 1.
recommend that the City enter into an agreement with Mr. Ashton
whereby it will construct and pay for tile sanitary sewer system not
exceeding a cost of $800.00 in return for a restrictive agreement,
satisfactory to the City Attorney and Mayor and Council.

Minutes of previous meetings, July 7 and 16, were read
and approved.
Mr. Hamer, attorney for Union Pacific Railroad Company,
x
appeared before the Council pleading for time and consideration
in the construction of Sycamor e Street UnderpFtss. Stating that
B.t this time the cost is prohibitive, also that Eddy Street
underpass being under construction at this time, it would cause
the Railroad Comp~y a greater expense and trouble in preparing
for tv'o underpEsses at one time. That the construction of an
underpass would be so much more than an overpass, but damages
to e.dj oininES property VJould be 1 e s s. Po ssi bili ty of there being
considerable trouble with the underground water, necessitating
a great er expense. That at the time of me cting '\ITi th the Council
previously on Eddy Street underpass, he felt the conclusion ir!ns
to hold off ~ith Sycamore Street construction. He sug~e8ted
that the Council would hold off until Eddy Street was completed,
that it sesmp~ it was a great deal easier to spend the other
fellows money than his own, and he felt maybe the Council was
taking that attitude.
John McCarthy presented for Ben Sharp, reouest that interest
on gravel tax be cancelled, on account of gravel having been
put on street durinG the time of foreclosure Hction and claim
never filed with the County. Referred to the Council.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
I would like to begin my remarks by quoting to this honorable
body Em excerpt from the laws of the State of Nebraska, fiG follows:
"18-1401. Publicity; appropriat ion; expencU ture.
The oity commissioners or council of any city
and the board of trustees of any village in the
state shall have the power to appropriate annually
from the general fund of the city or village an
amount not to exceed one-tenth of one per cent
of the assessed valuation of the city or village
for the purpose or encouraginc immigration, new
industries, and invcGtment EIDc1 to concluct and
carryon a publicity campaie;n, exploiting [lnd
advertiBin~ the various agricultural, horticultural,
manufacturing, commercial, and other resources
of the city or village. Said sum may be paid
to the chamber of commerce or other commercial
organization to be expended for the purposes
herein enumerC'.ted under the direction of the
board of directors of said organization. Pro-
vided, that the total amount levied incluaing
the appropriation made under this section, shall
not exceed the amount limited by law.
"18-14-2. Publicity; expenditures; inclusion
in annual budget. The amount to be expended for
the enmJ1ng yeer shall be fixed at the time of
mahing up the annual bud~?;et required by Imf,
and the same shall be included in said budget.
It is interesting to duscuss briefly the reasons why a farneein~
lecislature has included this statute as a part of the law of
the State, anel more importe.nt, vJ"lly they made it possible for a
city to turn these funds over to a civic orcenization Bucll as
the chamber of commerce for disbursement.
A chc,mber of' commerce, by definition, i 8 11 the banding tOilether
of the forward lookinG citizens of a community for the civic,
commercial and industrial development of the community."
In the Cnanilier of Commerce of Grand Island there are some 700
members; approximately three percent of the population of the
city. Less thnn ho.lf of these members sub-scribe to the budget
of the Cl18mber, the balr-mce pay a minimum membership fee which
covers only the cost of the immediate benefits of the chpmber
to its members. This means that approximately three percent of
the population of this city support financi~ly, the work of the
organization devoted entirely to the welfare of the city as a
whole. More importantly, and more to the point, perhaps, is
this example: In Grand Island there are approximately 600
business Gnd professional men, and women. Less than half of
this number sucscribe more than the minimum membership to the
Chamber of Commerce.. Is i t lo~ical thE.t one percent of the
owners of a corporation worth ~20,OOO,OOO should be the sole
support of a publicity campaign designed to increase the value of
that corporation 8nd }')ay substantial dividends to its stock-
holders, I thinl~ not, and I think that you members of this
honorable body will agree with me. Certainly the farBeeln~ members
of the State legislature must have had this in mind when they
.

enacted the statute quoted above. The benefits accruinf1: to any
one member of a corporation are, either directly or indirectly,
of benefit to all members of the corporation, and should in some
measure be supported by the stockholders as a v'Thole.
Let me cite just a few of the expenditures made by the Chamber
of Commerce during 194B. Expenditures not for the administration
of the cl:amber, but for the publicity of the city - the benefit
of all the city, employer and employee alike.
Christmns Activities: Decoration of tbe Cltv streets
and presentation of Christmas show and prese~ts to

This fi~ure, I am sure you all realize, does not be~in to include
all of the deficit activities of the Chamber of Commerce. It is
merely a sampl1nz of those activities particularly pertinent to
work of the Chamber in promoting Grand Island, In addition to
these expenditures, 1,dlich are more or less static (lrill continue
year after year) the Chamber contemplates the following expendi-
tures for the benefit of Grand Island. A~ain, these are just a
few' of the tllOught s 1"rhi ch repre sent the increased act i vi ty of your
Chamber of Commerce.
1. The Chamber of Commerce would like to place sign
boards at strate~ic points ~rrounding our city. This has been
brougl1t to the attention of the City Council before. At trlat time
it was their opinion that such an expsncli ture should be br01...llc):'lt
to their nttention when the budget was_being made. Five of these
signs 't.TOulrl be in the neighborhood of $150 per month.... . . .. . $1800.00
2. Elaboration and replacement of Christmas Decorations.
The Chamber is now 1-,rorking -vdth Hr. Burdick on adcUtions to our
street decorations at Christmas time, and contemplates further
additions and replacements in suceeding yeare at a yearly expense

3. Replacement of flags and other decorations. The
welcome flags purchased two years n~o are badly in need of re-
placement. It is now impossible to fully equip the city e1ectro-
liers. Further the striniers which hang across the street are
completely shot, and should be replaced. These items would

-4. The Chamber believes that the Uf,e of brochures and
mailing pieces advertising Grand I~land must be ~reatly in-
creased. Folders should be prepared for specific purposes. An
intensive educational program concerning thp facilities availAble
at the ail'port should be undertaken. Thi 8 vIOulc1 co st f1.pproxi:.-

These four items - and I am sure that you will all a~ree - the
Chamber feels are o~ paramount importance to the future welfare
of this community. Ahd they are only the beginning.
I know that the council is limited in the reauests for funds
that they are able to grant. The Chamher of Commerce has no
intention of asking for the amount legally provided by statute.
However, the Cbmnber does earnestly request that the C:!.ty Counctl
include in their bud~et 1/IOth of I mill to be assigned to the
Chamber of Commerce for the publicity and promotion of Grand
I slrnd.

Your Street and Alley Conrrni ttee, to whom V,ias referred the
Sycamor e Street Underpe.ss Ordinanc e No. 2226, npproving the 'width,
height and strength of said uncl8rpass and ordering the Union Pacific
Railroad Company to commence the construction of sqid underpass,
begs leave to report as follows:
That your Committee has considered the.; re.;que;3t of the Union X
Pacific Railroad Company made through Mr. Hame.;r, tile Attorne.;y for s
said Company, for additional time.; within 'which to CODmence the
construction of said underp2.ss, which request was made at th8 r'3gular
m8eting of the City Council on July 21, 19i.}8. Your Commi ttee, after
having considered said request and argument advanced by Mr. Hamer,
as attorney for the Union Pacific Railroad Company, feels that there
is merit in the.; request made by Mr. Hamer, and that possibly the
date of October 1, 1948, the time limit when sEdd Hailroad Company
is to comm9nce U19 construction of sa.id underpass, is too short a time.
Your Comrni ttee, therefore, r9coemmends that in vi9vI) of the
requ9st made by the Hailroad Company tha t th8 time fixed by said
ordinanc8 for the comm9ncing of the construction of said und~rpass
be extended from Uctober 1, 1948, to December 1, 1948.

Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned members of the Building Code Co~mittee,
report that many signs have been erected on private property
and on city owned property and that no permits therefore have
been obtained; that no fees fcor such permits have been paid and
that many signs have been erected on city owned property without

tax due thereon.
This cOnIDlittee therefore recommends that a survey be made
by the building department of all signs which have been erected
in violation of city ordinances and that a report be made to the
council concerning the same.
We further reconmlend that proper steps be taken to bring
about a compliance with city ordinances and that upon failure
to comply with such regulations that complaints be filed against
the violator.

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Grand Island, Nebr.
Gentlemen:
We, your committee on Water and Light, hereby make the following
report G.nd recommendation regarding the necessi ty of increasing the
fuel oil storage capacity to meet the increasing requirements at the
City power plant.
Present fuel oil storage capaci ty at power plant is not entirely
adequate to be relied upon as standby fuel in case the present gas
supply is cut off. TIle storage of coal is limited by space and cannot
be stored econimically for long periods of time. Present capacity of
fuel oil storage is 48,000 gallons, made up of four 12,000 gallon under-
ground tanks. The present tanks are in such poor condition it is im-
possible to store more than half their present capaci ty. .At the present
time coal and oil prices are e.bout th8 same when conSidering all costs
of handling, storage, firing equipment, ash handling, etc.
We have concluded that immediate steps be taken to provide
more storage for fuel oil. TIlis can be a.ccomplished by placing new
tanks at the northwest corner of th8 power plant property. At tije
present time there is an old building located on this site which was
formally built for the original City Ice Plant and now occupied by the
Street Department. It will be necessary to raze this building in
order to make room for the new fuel oil storage. It will also be
necessary to find new quarters for the Street Departm8nt. We believe
that a satisfactory arrangement could be made for the occupancy of the
Street Department in the present water plant building located at Front
and Sycamore Streets, now occupied by Hyslop Poultry Company.
It is our recommendation that plans and specifications be ordered
dravl/D for the purpose of advertising for bids for the purchase a.nd
installation of at least 240,000 gallon storage capacity, and that the
present building be demolished and material salvaged. The above v"ork
to proceed as soon as possible.

Octo bel' 6, 1948.
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council.
At the request of Mr. Wilson, I inspected the railroad tracks
at the Airport and make the following report.
In regard to the south spur and lead in track that has been in
use, many of the ties are loose under the rails and the spikes are
also loose in places, which may have bean caused by not having the
gravel packed well under the ties. At the curve by the Warcllouses,
the track has been moving sideway each V'iay.
In regard to the north spur which has not been used, many of
the ties are not up against the rails and many of the spikes are
not tight. Also the gravel seems loose under some of the tims.
