-When James Belton was mayor
11 1878 the streets were given very
ittle attention, and in 1880, when
he writer first came to North Platte
Spruce street was nothing less
than a mudhole from one end to the
other. Iu front of what was tlipn
Mr. Belton's store, there was a
pool of stagnant water about sixty
by forty feet which the residents
ermed "Belton's lake." If the ad
ministrations of to-dav paid no
i. '
more attention to keeping up the
streets than did the Belton admin
istration, there would be a balance
in the treasury at the end of each
fiscal year. Beginning with the
year 1882 the citizens demanded
better streets, and since then the
roadways have been improved each
year, in making these improve
ments a good-part of the citys indebt
edness was contracted; the remain
der of the debt is due to the fact
he revenue derived is not sufficient
to maintain tue rental for street
hydrants. Mr. Belton will hardly
attempt to contradict the statement
that during-his administration there
was not a graded street in the city,
and that in wet weather they were
all nigh well impassable.
