Elsewhere is published an ordinance authorizing a special election to bo held August 19th nt which voters will exer cise their suffrage on whether or no wo shall havo Sunday huso bull. At this same election there will bo submitted two othor propositions; one voting bonds for tho construction of a. city hull. nnd the other bonds for paving troot intersections. The ballJSpreposi tlnn is not of much interest to Tho Tribune, but tho city hall and the street paving nre two questions which are of vital interest to all. Tho main feature of the city hall proposition is that it Is to provide a homo for tho flro department. This is narticulorlv important at this tlmo for tho reason that interest has been lost In the department by tho younger elo montofour men to whom we must look for our service. The lost Interest i. Urcr'alv due to tho lack of occommo. Nations provided for the firemen; these accommodations not having kept pace with the development of the city; In fact lhy aro no bottom if as good, as -when tho department was first organized vir a. auarter of a century ago. With well equipped quarters for the appara tus and & sulUblo meeting or club roqm for tha members, new life would be injected Into the department, the membership quota wouiu ue iun, " the boys would then have reason to feel that tholr services are appreciated; , ronti there is no evidence that their work Is given any thought by the. average citizen. It is an unawpuwu claim that tho wolfaro of the city de mindi that then bo at least two paid firemen, ono of whom will bo on duty at tho fire house during tho day and one at night, so that tho apparatus can be gotten ready in an instant for a run to a fire. It may bo arguod that such has not boen provided in the past and may ndl be needed In the future; but this ..Anm.nt u not sound buslnoss. Our property during all these years has been in jeopardy for tho reason that a loss of fivo minutes In getting to afire during a windstorm might mean an un controllable ftro and a property loss . mnny times tho cost of n city hall. The street paving proposition Is ono that should strongly and favorably appeal to tho resident who for twonty fivo or thirty years has seen a nllijb of money expended on Dowoy and ITocus't streets. Tho bonds as proposed wquld be fur tho purpose of having the street ' intersections, the cost of tho paving be tween tho cross streets to bo borne- by tho ownor of ubuitlng property. The ilistiiets to bo pnvfd woujd b DuVrey and LociiHt streets from Front to Sec ond, two thoroughfuroB on which thero is tho. greatest traffic:. In tho work of! street paving, North Plntta is much be hind the uverngo Nebraska or western town. Grand Island atarted several years ago to pave it streets and so popular did it prove right at tho begin ning that proporty owners wore anxious that tho work be extended andincrqased as rapidly ns possible, and sincu thoa more or loss paving has- been doma- in each year. It is truo that first expense- i rather heavy, but tho work i permanent, tho cost qf up keep for a long term, of years is practically nothing, so that is tho long run it is not only cheaper but. you. have good streets all tho tlmo. Tho Tribuno trusts that our voters will fully acquaint themsolvea witfia the merits of these two propositions, and that they will satisfy thomsolvos. that both should be successful on August 19th. ' An Old Debt Paul. Lincoln county's treasury was or rlched yesterday by tha sum of five hundred dollars which was paid on an old debt owed by McPheraon county. This debt was contracted eleven yean qgo, and represented jail charges of a. prisonor sent hero byMcPhajraon county for safe kooping. Tho prisoner was ono named Robinson, who was charged with murdor. There was no jail in Mc Phorson county, hence ha was sent here for safe keeping until tho trial waa had in that county. He was detained her a number of months, and at the end of tho Incarceration tho jail fees amounted to about seven hundred dollars, A bill was filed with the McPhorson county commissioners, but thero novor was sufllclont money to pay tho claim. It was suggested sevoral .times Boys School Encampment.
