Electric Light Proposition, At the meeting' of the council Tuesday evening' Lester W. Walker of this city submitted to the ' council a proposition, in the form of an ordinance, for establishing au electric light plant, Section one of the ordinance pro vides the granting to "Walker and his asBiirns a twenty year franchise for right and privilege to erect, maintain and equip an electric light and power plant and to main tain poles and wires on streets. Section two provides that the plant shall be of sufficient capacity to supply t tic current necessary, for arc and incandescent lighting, for operating light motors, charg ing storage batteries and for other services demanded by a modern city. Sections three relates to the location of poles and provides that the poles and wires running ca8t and west shall as far as practicable, be placed in allyd. and tliat Dewey' street from Front to Fifth htrccts bliall be as free from poles and wires as possible. Section four provides that poles ud wires shall not interfere with lydrants, lire alarm, telephone or telegraph wires, and that between upports the wires shall not be less li an twenty feet above the ground, Section Ave relates to schedule of rates, which is as .follows: I' or commercial and private residence ighting arc lights all night per month $12.50; arc lights until mid- ight per month $9.00; incandescent lights (1G c. p.) each per hour ouc cent; incandescent lights, all candle power, per kilowatt hour eighteen cents. Street lighting from twi light in the evening to twilight of the following morning Arc lights of 2,000 candle power each per year $100; incandescent lights of thirty- two candle power each per month S3. Street lighting Philadelphia, moonlight schedule Arc lights c ,000 candle power per year 590; in candescent lights of thirty-two can- die power per month $2.50. Reas onablc rates for residences will br established, determined by tin number of lights m circuit and tin number of hours they will be in usi Section six relates to the location of such lights as the city may con tract for and the payment for tu service on or before the 10th of eacl month succeeding the mouth ir which the services are rendered Section seven fixes August 1st 1901, as the time by which Walke shall have the plant in operation and if he fails in this the ordinance shall cease and determine. Section eight provides that th management and operation of th . plant and lines shall be subject to the provisions ot ordinances nov; iu force or which may hereafter b adapted relating thereto. We believe that this is by far tho most favorable electric light propc sition, so far as the city's interest are concerned, that has yet been presented to the council. It will b been that Mr. Walker does not as ; the city to guarantee that it vi I take any specified number of ar: or incandescent lights. He will erect the plant, put it in operation, demonstrate its efficiency and then say to the council: Gentlemen, have an electric light plant and an ready to turnish you arc and incan descent lights at prices set forth in the ordinance; how many lights do you wish to use? Now that is ce tainly a fair business proposition. The city can contract for fne hundred dollars worth of lights pf.r year or it can contract for the full amount raised by the levy, which is about fourteen hundred dollars on the present assessed valuation. Or if the council does uotwish to take lights, it is not bound to do s. The prices named in the ordi nance are lower than those nanu r in any proposition heretofore su nutted, and iu all respects M- Walker's proposition js certainly a favorable one. For ten years past the people f North Platte have been discussi. g the electric light question and to the present the solution- is to faraway as. ever. The same was tlYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYIYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Holiday Wc arc setting the pace on prices on Furniture. Have you noticed how our competitors have reduced prices on Furniture since we began business? We have gained a reputation for leading in low prices and we promise to keep it up. Our prices on all lines of Furniture are at least 25 per cent lower than others. 1 $12 buys a solid oak combin.a- tion Book Case (same as w Can t be duplicated anywhere.

What is true of the school bunding will be true in regard to an electric light plant. But talk will never put in a lighting sy&teru; action is what is necessary. Will the council act? BETWEEN .
