At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening tho lighting commit
tee reported their work unfinished
and aero granted another two weeks
to get tltlr business completed n id
mako a report.
Wills Todd president of tho North
Platto Light & Power Co., attended
tho meeting and gave a talk on street
lighting which was both interesting
and instructive. Ho also gave a
demonstration of tho forty-watt light
for street llgting purposes In tho out
lying districts. Tho demonstration '
was given at tho corner of Fourth and
Sycamore streets. Ho recommended
that thlb light be used for street light-.
ing purposes In the residence tils-1
tricts on each corner Instead of using
a light of twico tho candle power on
each nltcrnato corner. After somo
discussion tho council decided that
this would bo more practicable light
ing and decided to do this. I
The council also appraised the cost
of cutting streets through tho Belle
vue, Fnlrvlew, Scout's Rest and Dol
son's additions. Attorney J. J. Hallt
gan, representing Mr. Dolson, ap
peared before tho council and filed ob
jection to tho cstimnto on account of
Its being heavier for tho Dolson addi
tion than for tho others. This was
explained by the council as being the
result of the donation of tho streets in
tho other additions and after delibera
tion they decided to nccept the csti
mnto of the city engineer and the data
was filed with tho city clerk.
The regular bills were allowed and
other routine matters were taken up.
The council enjoyed a visit from tho
civics class of the high school who vis
ited to get some practical pointers on
civil government.
Different members of tho council
have received several inquiries from
other towns asking tho rates paid for
lights hero and for other information
regarding the lighting system. Several
letters were presented nt tho meeting,
among them inquiries from York and
Norfolk, and these were turned over
to the lighting commlmttee.

Inspector Visits Here This Week
Inspector L. R. Whltted of Greeley,
Colo., superintendent of construction
for the government, was visiting in the
city for a few days this week looking
after tho work in the basement of the
federal building and spoke very high
ly of the local office.
Mr. AVhltted will come again after
the work is completed and pass upon
It then. He stated that tho work was
being done well and that tho building
would bo excellently provided for af
ter its completion. He also commend
ed the management of the building and
spoko very highly of the condition in
which it is kept.
The work in the basement is not
progressing as rapidly as expected
on account of tho weather. They have
been unable to get sand and gravel.
Tho only way gravel could be procured
was by cutting through the ice where
there was running water and dipping
tho gravel from the bottom of tho riv
er. This, however, was slow work and
has greatly hindered tho concrete
workers.
Already one layer of cement has
been laldxin tho floor of the basement.
It is about four inches thick. A water
coat will be put on top of it and a
finishing coat of about six inches in
thickness will bo put on top of that. In
all there will bo a concrete floor of
about ten Inches In thickness.
The German Blockade.
The blockndo of German nnd Aus
trian ports which tho British and
French have now embarked upon Is
the most ambitious attempt of tho
kind sinco tho Amoricnn civil war.
During that war the federal govern
ment maintained with moro or less
success a blockade of all tho Bcacoast
botwecn the Potomac nnd tho Rio
Grande. This blockade, which cut off
the south from a market for Its chief
staple, cotton, and from a sourco of
manufactured supplies, was tho chief
cause of the friction of tho north dur
ing the war with noutrnl Great Britain
depending on tho south for Us cotton
nnd for a markot for its manufactures,
suffered almost equally with tho south,
tho consequences of that blockade.
With a complete blockado now de
clared against Germany tho shoo Is
on the othor foot. Germany Is a large
market for our cotton and a sourco of
supply tor some of our most essential
manufactures, notably dyes. This
blockado will greatly embarrass
American industry, for tho loss of the
German market has already been part
ly made up by resort to markets for
merly supplied by Germany. Dr. Ritt
mann's discovery of a process of ex
tracting coloring matter from pc
troloum promises to stop our depen
dence on Germany for dyo stuffs.
Nevertheless, this blow at Germany
adds to tho burden of the wnr which
noutrals muBt bear. It makes war
just so much moro of an international
nuisance; Just so much moro nn af
front to human Interest and intelli
gence. Washington predicts thnt neutral
protests wll be made against this cut
ting off of their markets for non-contraband
goods. It is not clear how
theso protests can bo made to stand.
It has been accepted between nations
sinco tho Declaration of Paris of 1856
that any blockade which can bo en
forced Is binding. Tho physical power
of tho British and French navies to
provent Gorman and Austria-Hungarian
intercourse with the world by sea
Is as, Indlsputed as was our power to
seal the port of Sontlgo In 1898. Un
til the German and Austrian fleets can
break throug tho wall of warships
now sealing them In, there is no way,
short of war, for a neutral to forco
himself in. Stnte Journnl.
