The announced intention of tho city
to enforce tho ordiace requiring the in
stallation of water motres on or before
July 1st Is not kindly received by many
property owners who In some manner
gained tho impression that the use of
metres would be optional. Practically
all admit that the metre system is the
proper method of purchasing water
you pay for just what you use, but the
of installing tho metre is the basis of
the "kick." This installatiou of metres
will cost the good people of North Platte
between $15,000 to $18,000.
