Monday Afternoon Session
Tlie old council held a brief
sessioa on Monday afternoon at
which ordinances 214 215 216
were passed as published in
Monday s Tribune It will be
noted- that ordinance 214 repeals
the old occupation tax ordinance
relieving most businesses from
that tax This ordinance places at
occupation tax of 600 on saloons
and will -take 2400 out of the
school fund The old ordinances
made the saloon license 1000
and ithe occupation tax 200
The new ordinance divides the
1200 equally between -the city
and the school fund Only ten
lines of Jbusiness are taxed under
the present occupation ordinance

Taxpayers Take Notice
We very respectfully icall your
attention to the fact ithat there
will appear cu the primary ballot
at ithe election to be held April
19th 1912 several prcpcsails for
amendments to the constitution
of the state of Nebraska
We wish particularly to calll
your attention to -the fourth
amendment which as -of unusuail
importance to the taxpayer as
at contemplates the reduction of
the election expense one half by
liolding elections but once in
two years
Such a change would cause the
elections to more nearly conform
to ithe tenure of the elective of
fices than ithe present plan as
nearly all officers are now el act
ed for two or more years

THE CAPTAIN
OF PLYMOUTH
Saturday April 20
Mr Weybright Urges Action
McCook Neb April 10 1912
Editor Regarding the amount
of water in the Frenchman avail
able for storage purposes I am
in receipt of a letter from ther
first assistant secretary of the in
terior Washington D C which
was forwarded to me by Senator
Brown n which the seereitary
makes the fallowing statement
The most complete year oif
record extends from November
1st 1894 to October 31 1895 the
montlis of January and Febru
ary are missing Assuming that
the discharge for these months-
equaled the average monthly flon
for the remainder of the year
and asmiming further that the ir
nigatiioni season extends from Ap
ril to September inclusive there
is left available for storage the
following
October acre feet 6S2tt
November acre f eet 6265
December ire fecit 5960
January acre feet 6968
February acre feet 6968
March acre feet 6460
Total acre feet 39441
It wiil be noted that the gov
ernment records were taken dur
ing tvo of the dryest years last
ssaaon excepted on record and
cnly contemplates atoning water
six months Whereas in seasons
like the present ono there would
be at leas i a month or two to
add storage water and some sea
sons there would be 9 or 10
montlis in whech to store water
for the dry years
I wish only to add that nf the
people of Red Willow county ex
pect to ever utilize amy of the
water of the Frenchman raver
for irrigation they must get it
now If they do not act prompt
ly and energetically the oppor
tunity will nave passed from
them never to return as the wat
er wall foe used in other terri
tory that will be of no benetfut
to Red Wilicw county
To be sure if the pecple nore
prefer to go along in the same
rut and burn out year after
year that is their privilege
