propositions to issue bonds for tho erection and mainte nance of a municipal water works sys tem and a municipal electric lighting plant and wo hereby declare ourselves in favor of tho issuance of said bonds and the building and maintaining of the public utilities mentioned Wo condemn the action of tho Mc Cook Water Works Co in refusing to furnish water to the citizens of McCook at tho water rates provided for in the ordinance passed by tho citv council on July 22 1907 known as Ordinance No 13G and we condemn the management of said water company for instituting and prosecuting tho unfounded injunc tion suit now pending in the district court of this county whereby said wat er company seeks to nullify Ordinance No 130 and the water rates by said or dinance established We aro irrevocably in favor of a strenuous resistance by the city of said injunction suit even to the supreme court of the United States We insist upon a strict enforcement of tho law with reference to tho conduct of saloons and the sale of malt spirit uous and vinous liquors within the cor porate limits of the city of McCook Realizing that this municipality is no longer a village but a thriving commer cial city the largest and most important in western Nebraska we believe that the chief executive should bo a man with business interests in touch with the needs of the city and accessible at all times to mept and cope with the many important and far reaching problems that daily confront that official Be lieving that the business affairs of the city should be conducted in a business like mannerand that the city is entitled to all fair and equitable revenues due it W9 therefore demand that the funds of the city be deposited in such bang or banks as will pay tho same rate of inter est on its average daily cash balances as is now allowed on cash balances of the county funis Respectfully submitted Lon Cone Wm H Ackerman Geo S Scott Committee Albert Barnett and Lewis Suess pres ent members
