Mr. Perrigo Speaks
On Plans of Future
B. U. Perrigo, genoral manager of
tho Union company of Omaha stated to
a reporter Wednesday evening., that
they would Ret to work at once on tho
building of tho new electric and gas
plant.
"Thp people cannot expect that they
will have gas in a weok or inn month,
said Mr.. Perrigo. "It may bo a year
as there is still much to be done. The
plans ore only drawn up in tho rough
and there is still a lot of work on them.
"We feel very kindly toward the
people of North Platto and think we
are to be congratulated for tho way
they havo treated us. Wo think also
that they are to congratulate them
selves, as they have now proven that
tho boosters can get can got together
on a proposition for tho city's good.
We do not have hoofs or horns or a
forked tail and we intend to give them
one of the best plants in tho state. As
to the quality of gas, it will be of tho
same quality that wo have elsewhere
and will be of the best."
When asked in regard to the Bird
wood proposition Mr. Porrigo stated
that they would have to wait awhile.
"That" he said, "is entirely nnother
proposition from tho plant here. It will
probaBly be two or three years before
we can get to work on that, but wo will
start on it as soon as possible."
The new plant will bo located on the
same block whero the plantnow stands.
The electric light plant will face tho
east on Pine street. The gas genera
tor plant will be located nbout where
the building now stands and the tanks
will be on the northwest corner of the
block.
Mr. Perrigo left Wednesday for his
home in Omaha. He stated that ho
would come back here often and that
he hoped to get better acquainted
with the peQple of North Platto.
The Easter Bali.
After six weeks of "sackcloth and
ashes," socially speaking, the amuse
ment loving people of this city, and es
pecially those, who delight to dance,
are promised on evening of pleasure
Monday next when the annual ball
of the fire department will be held
at the Lloyd. This function will, as
usual, be nicely conducted, the com
mittees having carefully planned every
thing so that the attendants will have
the greatest possible degree of enjoy
ment. Stamp's orchestra will furnish
the music, and preceding the
dance will be given several concort
numbers. , Handsome souvenir cards
will be presented to each attendant
these taking the.place of regular dance
programs which will be done away wjth
and the dances called. This method is
much more popular.
The net proceeds of the dance will be
devoted to the purchase of equipment
for the firemen's quarters, and every
malo citizen should financially help out
the boys.
