To tho: Honorable Mayor and Council, of the City North Platte. Gentlemen: In adcordanco with vour rcninnf. T havo examined tho ordianeo of th city of Nortli Platte, granting to the water works company, its franchiso, and also ino proccoaings m which appraisers woro appointed to appraiso the plant in una city, nnu x nave tne nonor to re port that in my opinion said ordinanco and proceedings under which said appraisers were appointed, does not constitute a contract, under which the city of$ North Platto can be compelled 10 iuko me watorwoncs, at tne ap praisement fixed by said appraisers. Tho contention that such proceedings constituted n contract, obligatory upon tho city to purchase tho waterworks, is without doubt, based upon the case oMha Omaha Water Company vs. the tho City of Omaha, 162 Federal Rq. porter, Pago 1!25, and I havo examined this caso quite carefully, and In ray opinion the Omaha case is not authority in tho mattor in controversy, between the City of North Platte and the North Platto Waterworks Company Respectfully submitted, (Sgd) John J. HalHgan. The en mo was received and upon motion was place fllo. A petition from property ownera on west Third St. asking that sidewalks be ordered n, was received and read tho city att'y was instructed to draft ordinanco ordering the samo to be constructed. Bids were received for rubber goods for the firo department and the con tract was awarded to the lowest bidder, Schatz and Claubaugh of this city. Tho contract for buildinr an addition to tho Third ward hose hoimn and re pairing tho other hose houses was awarded to A. E. Huntington. Tho following estimate of the city engineer for a now waterworks was reud and upon motion tho same was re ceived nnd placed on file: Worth I'latte. Neb., July 20. 1909. To tho Honorable Mavor nnd Citv Council, North Platte, Neb. Gonmen: i iierewitn submit tho following esti mate for a now waterworks system. The proposed water buddIv svstem is to consist of wells approximately 200 feet deep, striking tho same strata of water as that tappod by the Peniston well. This strata of water to be tested by pumping from a test well to deter mine whether the supply will bo ample. Tho plant is designed to bo located in tho western part of town preferably near tho railroad so as to avoid long hauls for tho coal and other supplies. Its exact location to be determined un- on later. Tho power plant is to consist of threo 14 ft. or 10 ft. by GO inch return tubular boilers, pumping plant of 2 crank and fly wheel duplex pumps or two com pound condonsintr pumna of U million gallons daily capacity each. rower nouso. to bo ot concrete, con crete blocks or brick adequate for tho abovo machinery. Distribution systom to consist of the following: J000 ieot 12" cast iron pipe. 4500 feet 10'; cast iron pipe. 4830 feot 3" cast iron pipes. 47510 feet G" cast iron pino. 103 fire hydrants and all necessarv gate valves and boxes. Iheestimato cost of the nronoied system is as follows: Kcallistato $1,000.00 Power House, Stock and Furnishings 6,850.00 Powor Plant erectod 4.530.00 Pumping Plant erected 6,000,00 Water Supply Systom 10,000.00 Hydrants und Valves 4,000.00 1125.78 tons of enst iron pipe and specials laid 60,200.00 Total $92,080.00 Engineering 4,000.00 Interest on Bonds 2,450.00 Total Construction Cost $98,530.00 This system will provide fire protec tion for the entire city. It is proposod to Jay all tho pipo as nearly as practic able in the alleys and so save the streets and Iuwhb from being torn up overy timo a water conneetion is mndo. The pipes will bo nearer the kitchens where the water is used mostly and the distance necessary to run from the main to each consumer would be con siderably less than if tho mains were luid in tho streets. Respectfully submitted, (Sgd) Heushey S. Welsh, City Engineer, Tho warrants, bolng four warrants of $200 each for the first $800 on the new city nark, were ordered drawn and placed in tho hands of the city attor ney, with instructions to him to deliver tho same to W.

Another Old Timer goes to bit Reward. Never has tho grim reaper laid his hand on a more honored and revered citizen, than when Gustavus A. Hesse was called to his reward at his homo 420 East 2d St, Tuesday night at 9:80 o ciock, ac tne age or seventy-seven years. Mr. Hesse had not been ailing and his condition seemed not out of tho ordinary, in lact ho had been to town twice on Tuesday and walked about his yard in tho evening as usual. As has always been his custom, ho rotired about 8 o'clock and complained that ho had some trouble in brnnthi uiiucuuy increased and Dr. Lontrlov. his family physician,;was called. ne tnea to revive mm but or no avail and about 9:30. conscious to tho end, the epirittook its flight. Although neariy anu naie up to a low years ago, when he had a lone sclera of alcknuia. his constitution could not stand the strain of years and he died of a eeneral run down of his system. Tho funeral waa held veitenlav from the McPhorson National Cemetery at mtwurgn Hcrnonon, and ma only request was that ho should be buried mere. Gustavus A.

He was a member of the Masons, having joined the first lodge instituted in Nebraska at Omaha, but was not in good standing. He was also an old and onored member of the G. A.

He had. been the ward com mitteeman for tho first ward for several yoars. Always with a kind word for every one, a sweet disposition, spreading sun-J BQine evorywnero ne wont, ne lias been a useful and honored citizen and was probably one ef tho most boloved and revered citizen ef western Nebraska. When J.
