Commercial Club Gathering
The meeting of the McCook Commer
cial Club Tuesday evening had under
ndvisoment and discussion several mat
ters of prime importance to the city
and its progress and improvement
After disposing of several items of
routino business the discussion of the
sewer proposition the Carnegie library
building proposed and the now Bchool
house contemplated was taken up and
consumed most of the evening
Some objections were considered as to
the proposed sewer bonds and in each
case the same were easily answered It
wns announced that the proposed sewer
bonds 10000 in amount would call for
a two mill tax which would be one-thirty-fifth
of the present tax of the city or
in other words would be about 100 ex
tra for each 3500 paid by any tax
payer One who now pays 2000 tax
would have about 75 cents added to his
taxes on account of the sewer bonds
proposed 81000 taxes would have less
than 40 cents added for this reason so it
will readily appear that the proposed
sewer bonds will not add much to the
average mans taxes The sower bonds
matter was then referred to the city im
provement committee
Secretary Thompson of tho Carnegie
library board reported that the commit
tee had selected an architect Mr Kim
ball of Omaha and a superintendent
Mr Meeker of our city and that they
hoped to have plans and specifications
on hand shortly That work would
commence early in the spring They
propose to spend the entire amount in
the erection of the building and to de
pend upon other sources for money to
furnish the same
President Barnett a member of the
school board made a statement touch
ing the proposed new school house of
about ten rooms which the board
thought would fill the demands for the
next fivo years

together amounting to 200 Six months
later we bought the building opposite the

the handsomest store building in town and
as nice a trade as any merchant can desire

and consideration shown our customers
