Saturday announced that tho Unitatquests from parents to givo tholr chll
States circuit court of appeals had reft drcn private instructions, that she
dered a decision in the case of the has., concluded, if enough can be Be
North Piatto Waterworks Companyfeuied to form a class of sufficient size
aealnst the city of North Platte in fa
vor of the company, This suit wwa
brought by the company to compel the
city to purchase tho water plant at tho
appraised, valuation, of $85,000. Thoh
Is no appeal from this decision It i
mandatory that tho city purchase the
plant at that figure.
As this appraisment was made soma
six years ago, and there has been a
depreciation of twelve per cent or two
per cent por year sinco that timo and
there have been no improvements (to
speak of, tho decision of tho court lias
caused censlderablo indignation. That
the plant is now not worth $85,000 is
conceded by all, mi it is apparent tHat
tho city must need' jfy aomo ten or
fifteen thousand dollars more than the
actual valuo of tho works.
It is questionable if tho $100,000
water bonds voted a year ago can bo
used for Uio purchase of tho plant,
inasmuch as the proposition submitted
to tho voters read for the erection, and
maintenance of a water plant If
these bonds are vokl it will bo neces
sary, of course, to vote othor binds,
and it is generally believed that the'
sum to bo, voted should bo $150,000,
which is tho maximum allowed cities
of this class.
With tho payment of tho $85,000 for
tho present plant, and with an esti
mated cost of $40,000 for 'extension' of
mains, enlargement of existing mains
and needed improvomcnta at tho power
house, $125,000 would bo needed at'
once,' and the remaining $25,000 of
bonds could be issued as needed. With
tho present rnto of growth of tho city
it is fair to presumo that tho "remaining
$25,000 would be needed within a. very
few years.
Boforo wo have our water plant in
smooth running manner and satisfac
tory to all, we may expect groat goobri
of grief.
