Engineer Freneh, of the local elec tric and gas plant, spent the early part of the week In Omaha, and was present with General Manager Todd when an order was placed for nearly ten miles of gas mains which will he laid In North Platte To ho exact the amount ordered was fifty-two thous and feet. Tho contract calls for de livery In North Platte within three weeks, and upon the arrival of thoso mains the work of digging the trenches will hegln. It is the Intention of the company to employ local lahor In this work. In fact if resident laborers aro not employed it will he solely be cause they cannot he obtained.
