The Bridge Bonds, Next Tuesday a special election will be held in North Platte for the purpose of voting on a proposition to isssue $12,000 bonds to aid in the construc tion of n bridge across the river directly east of town. The cost of this ataal and concrete bridge, as estimated by the state engineer, is $30,000. Of this amount tho state will pay $25,000, Platte precinct embrucing Maxwell and Brady and intervening territory will pay $13,000, and it is proposed that North Platte shall pay the remaining $12,000. Platte precinct has already voted its share, the bonds carrying al most unamimously, and $25,000 lies In the state treasury nwaiting tho result ot the vote of the people of North Platte on Tuesday, Juno 30th. This op portunity to secure a permanent bridge at so small an expenditure should be readily grasped by the people of North Platte; in fact it is an opportunity that is not likely to again be presented for the reason that the state aid bridge law is unpopular in counties which are not traversed by large streams and it is possible that, the next legislature will repeal the law, thus forever shut ting out any future chance of securing the $25,000. This is therefore an op portune time for North Platte to secure this sum for the erection of a bridge that would otherwise be impossible. , By the construction of this bridge the distance from North Platte to Max well will be shortened seven milas; Tjy reason of its existence our trade from the east will be increased at least fifty per cent, and last but not least, if North Platto is to be nn important sta tion on the Lincoln Highway the bridge is an absolute necessity. Ihe Tribune believes in bringing into North Platte every possible dollar in every possible legitimate way, and it strongly favors this proposition ns the avenue through which the people of the east end of the county will come to North Platte to spend their money, and the automobile tourist an opportunity to divorce him selt from some of his wealth. The additional taxation created by' the issuance of $12,000 bonds will be so small that the owner of tho average home will not notice It. It will in crease the yearly tax on tho humble home of The Tribune man less than the price of two picture show tickets, or the cost of four nickle cigars. The Tribune believes this bridge will expand North Platte's business, and the more business expands the greater is the value of your leal estate, yiewed from a business standpoint no property owner .pan afford to do anything but vote for the bonds; in fact the bonds should carry by a unamimous vote. Barn Destroyed by Wind The big barn on the J. M. Calhoun farm six miles northwest of town, was completely wrecked by the wind Sun day night. At that particular point the wind assumed the natuie of a tornado, but the area covered was not large. Mr. Calhoun carried a tornado policy of $800 on the barn. Several horae3 ware badly bruised by the railing roof and wnlls. and an automobile dam aged. A dozen head of young stock was missing at tho time Mr. Calhoun started to town yasterdsy and he thought some of them might be under the ruins of the barn. The wind did some damage on the adjacent ranches and farms. The North Platte Independents defeated the team of Busby's minstrels last evening by the score of 16 to 3. The game was very one sided and at no one time did the minstrels have a look in. Their scoring was due to some horse plav one part of some of tha North Platto players. The North Platte batteries were Husband, Peters and Pass; umpire Tiley. The largo barn of Ed Salisbury of the Stapleton vicinity was struck by lightning last week and burned to the ground.
