Chamber of Commerce
Favors Electrolier System.
The directors of tho Chamber of
Commerce mot Wednesday evening niul
again took up the installation of tho
electrolier systom of street lightiug,
the ngitation for which begnn several
months ago. The plan that has been
adopted is to have b!x fivulight posts
l to its block, threo on eithor side of
' the street, nnd tho territory proposed
to do coverou is inree blocks on Dewey,
two on Fifth, Sixth and Front, and
probably two on Locust street north of
tho tracks. The plan is to have prop
erty owners pay one half the cost of in
stallation and tenants tho other half,
the city to maintain tho system after
it is installed. A partial canvas of tho
of the city was mado everal months
ago, and whilo every tenant approached
was willing to pay his share, soma of
property owners would not agree to
subscribe their part. It is hoped to
overcome the opposition of these
owners.
A committee was appointed to ar
range for the annual meeting of tho or

cox form the committee to arrango for
the affair. A membership ticket en
titles the holder to a scat without
charge.
Tho report of the committoo appointed
to solicit aid for the tornado sufferers was
received and approved. This committee
secured $570; a carload of potatoos nnd
a large quantity cf beans were pur
chased and forwarded, $100 in cash sent
to the sufferers' at Borlin, $100 to those
at Yutan and $205 to Omaha. Tho
total cash contributions from North
Platte people exceeded $1,000.
The directors appropriated from tho
publicity fund forty dollars to the G.
A. R. post to assist in defraying the
expenses of Memorial Day and ono
hundred dollars to advertising the
Junior Normal school.
Other matters pertaining to city
affairs were discussed.
Time to Clean Up.
The time is now here for a general
clean up of alleys and lots, and in this
I ask the hearty co-operation of all
citizens. Each property owner and
tenant should take pride in tho cleanli
ness and appearance of the city, and as
good citizens I trust that all will have
their alloys and lots cleared of all
refuse within the next two weeks and
without any further'notice from me.
