Let Us Tell
North Platte
Council Whhdraivs
Depot Complaint
At the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening it was decided
to withdraw the complaint now pending
before the state railway commission to
compel the Union Pacific company to
build a new depot here. The action
passed the council by a vote of 7 to 2,
Hooglund nnd Sorenson voting against
it.
The committee from the chamber of
commerce, with Harry Dixon as chair
man, appeared before the council and
recomended that the complaint be with
drawn on account of the ill feeling
that would necessarily be aroubed among
thd'raitroad officials. Five members of
committc spoke before the council and
brought out the fact that the sentiment
of the people in general seemed to be
against forcing the issue and that when
the council could see that they could feel
sure that they were not expressing the
desires of the citizens of North PIntto
but wore acting as individuals ' were
putting the city in bnd because the ac
tion was taken as coming1 from the city
of North Platte.
Mr. Dixon first read the resolutions
that the committee had drawn up urg
ing tho withdrawal of the petition in
order to keep on friendly terms with the
company and to best express the wishes
of the people of North Platto as a
whole, Mr. Seeborger then spoke from
the standpoint of a businessman and as
president of the chamber of commerce.
He also brought out Mr. Mohler's side
of the question and showed that he was
doing all he could to get a depot for this
city. He stated that tho action was not
taken by the chamber to criticise the
council and their action, but thnt every
citizen of the city was equally to blame
for not appearing before the council be
fore the action was taken.
J. Q. Wilcox then spoke on behalf of
the business men of the city and empha
sized the expediency of keeping the good
will of the company. He brought out
the fact that the North Platte business
men are dependant upon one another
and upon the railroad for their means
of livlihood on account of the small
towns that have grown up in tho past
few years and have taken much of the
rural trade that formerly came to this
city. He was followed by Father Mc
Daid, who spoke along tho line of the
moral need, showing that the action of
the council would be held ridiculous on
nccount of the sentiment of the people
against it, and becnuse this sentiment
was known outside. Ho showed the
receipts for tho last year by the railroad
company to be for freight, 302,302.70
and for tickets, $135,575.37 . making a
total of ?439,878.07. As against this he
showed that the" railroad had paid into
the city, at the least, $600,000, and that
they paid taxos in Lincoln county on
over $G.870,000 worth of p'roperty.
Mr. Bare thon spoke on the dollars
and cents side of tho question and
showed the decrease in the country
trade, the increeso in the population
arid that the wealth had remained con
stant, making it harder to get money
by each individual. He spoke largely
upon the decrease of business on uc
oount of the Stnpleton extension nnd the
necessity of us bringing in more outside
trade, and showed that to could best be
done by keeping on good terms with the
railroad.
W. II. McDonald then spoke largely
along the samo lines nnd brought out
especially the fact that Mr. Mohler had
made an enrnest attempt to get the de
pot here and showed that u large
amount of the big receipts of tho rail
rood company was due to the land draw
ing bringing in so many people. Ho was
followed by Frank J. Doran who spoke
from the laboring man's standpoint.
Mayor Evans nnd City Attorney
Keefo answered the men and stated
that the relations of tho council were
friendly nnd thnt if tho company was
forced to build, tho city would give
them more time and keep on friendly
relations, i'hey were answered bj Mr.
Seoberger, M. E. Crosby and W. II.
Ingles and Chief Dispatcher Zentmeyor
then spoke its u railroad olllcinl.

withdrawn and it wns seconded by

against withdrawal, and City Attorney
Keefe was instructed to withdraw the
action.
Attorney Albert Muldoon nppeared
before the council in behalf of the
Union Pacific railroad and informed the J
men that the company wanted to dedi
cate a portion of Front street nnd of
Seventh street for a public highway.
These streets, it appears, are a part of
the Union Pacific right-of-way and
have been'used by the city only through
the courtesy of the company. They
offer to send an engineer here to meet
with the mayor and acommittee andde
cide what the city wants for a highway.
The matter was left with the mayor
and the street committee for them to
act in conjunction with the city engineer
and decide what they wanted.
Hugh Gaunt then appeared before the
council and nsked for a reconsideration
on the action regnrding the saloon on
north side. He stated thnt if they weie
nK allowed a saloon they would do
everything in their power to do away
with saloons entirely in the city. He of
fered a license of ?2,000,for the privi
lege of running a saloon there. Mr.
Morrill then appeared on behalf of the
petition that was presented at the last
meeting of the council and the matter
was dropped without further action.
City Water Commissioner appeared
before the council in regard to the
meter rate to the government building.
A rate of lOcents per thousand was
made them and the custodian refused
to consider this a rate as it is the rate
for amounts of from 100,000 to 200,000
gallons per quarter and they use nearly
300,000 gallons. A'special rate of 7 cents
was made to them and to all consumers
that use oVer 200,000 gallons.
A number of the city firemen ap
peared before the council and presented
griefs regarding the way tho depart
ment is operated and upon the power
given the chief. They were authorized
to draft a new constitution and by laws
and present them to the council fcr
ratification.
The reports of the water commis
sioner, the city treasurer, city clerk
and chief of police were then presented
and accepted and the bills were allowed,
after which the council ndjourned.
