The county commisionors mot in ses
sion Wednesday for tho purposo of or
ganizing n new precinct, n petition for
which was filed some timo ago. This
precinct which will bo known as Platto,
embraces tho territory along the Union
Pacific from the enst bank of tho river
through to the east lino of tho county
and includes the land in Hall, Maxwell,
Brady nnd Vroman precincts, nnd tho
purpose of tho consolidation of the ter
ritory is to vote bonds to aid in the
construction of a bridge across the
rivor east of North Platte. With tho
construction of the bridge will bo tho
building of a highway parallel with tho
railroad through Maxwell and Brady
and thenco to the east line of the
county, there to connect with n road
into Gothenburg. By the building of
this road tho distance to Gothenburg
as compared with tho route south of
the river will be shortened oight or
ten miles. This now road will be part
of the Lincoln Memorial Highway.
In the construction cost of the bridge
North Platte will need vote bonds for
its share, which we think our people
will be willing to do, as tho new road
and bridge will bring much additional
trade to our city. One-half the cost of
tho bridge will bo borne by the state.
County Clerk Yost was instructed by
the commissioners to ask the state en
gineer to come to North Platte and
make an cstimato of the cost of the
bridge.
Council Proceedings.
The city council met in regular ses
sion Tuesday evening, and following the
opening preliminaries, the Sunday pic
ture show question occupied the center
of the stage for a brief period. The
rocont case in the police court was die
missed partly because the proprietor
mode no admission charge. To cover
this defect and strengthen Sunday ob
servance, an ordinance was introduced
which prohibits the operation of a pic
ture show on Sunday regardless of
whether or no an admission fee is
charged. This ordinance was read the
first time, but a motion to place it on
final passage under a suspension of the
rules failed, the vote being two for and
three against the full council not being
present.
John Burke asked that Silber avenue
be opened up across tho tracks and that
the present crossing at Poplar street
be closed and transferred to Silber
avenue, which is ono block east. The
matter was referred to the street com
mittee who will take it up with the
railroad company.
Robt. Isdell, contractor for the build
ing and loan building, was given the
use of tho hose house as a work shop
for b'ix months at a rental of five dol
lars per month, he to also pay the
ground rental for that period of time.
The ordinance committee wns directed
to draft an ordinance placing an occupa
tion tax of $G0 per year on shooting
gallerios. Under such an ordinance S.
Guenther, of acotts Bluffs, proposes to
come here and oporato such n gallery.
