Hershey To Have
"Municipal Plqnf.
Tho village of Hershey sold $10,000
worth of bonds last week to the state
of Nebraska for the purpose of putting
in a city water and electric plant. The
building of tne plant will begin as soon
as arrangements whereby the village
will know just how the best service can
be obtained. Some consideration is
being given to the advisability of at
tachinS to the plant of the North Platte
Electric company if they can. If the
company get the power from the Bird
wood they could undoubtably furnish
power more cheaply that tho village
can.
Considerable growth has been made
in the village in the past few years
and a very prosperous condition is shown
by the records of tho vlllago board. The
fact that the bonds were purchased by
the state treasurer would denote pros
perity. With the electric lighting and
power and the water facilities the vil
lage will have most of the convenience
of a larger city.

of tho peace. Tho doceased was sev-enty-nine
