fe M o Hit At THIRTIETH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE. NEB., JUNE 8, 1915. No. 40 HI m mamsmgmmmts A TP THE LEADER in en on J 1111 tn Watch Friday's Issue Particulars, WILL ASIC COUNCIL TO CREATE PAVING DISTRICT -r- ' The directors of the Chamber or Commerce held a meeting last evening and decided to take the initiative steps toward street paving. To push tills j matter to a final completion a com mittee composed of E. P. Seeberger, W. H. McDonald, V, It. Maloney and' O. B. Eler was appointed, and the first step that will probably be taken will' be to petition the council to vote bonds for paving the street and alley inter sections, and at the samo time ask tho council to create a paving district. I This district, as proposed, would in clude Dewey and Locust streets from Front to Third, and Front, Sixth, Fifth, ' Fourth and Third from Pine to Lo-1 cust. The total cost of this work would be in the neighborhood of nine- ( ty "thousand dollars, about twenty thousand of which would bo borne by tho city and tho remainder by tho own ers of property abutting on the streets named. Under the new law a potltlon for a paving district is not necessary. The council can create a district, and un less a remonstrance Is filed by per sons owning more than one half of the total feet frontage the district stands. The directors also endorsed the sec retary's campaign for membership to the organization, and' adopted a grad uated scale of membership dues. Bus iness and professional men and men who own property in the business dis trict will pay annual dues of ten dol lars; owners of residence property five dollars; those who do not own property and also farmers two dol lars. Other matters pertaining to roads, drainage and railroads were consider ed, and several committees appointed - to look after these matters. Attend K. C. Initiation.

Tho tabernacle meetings held under the auspices of the Methodist, Chris tian, Presbyterian and Baptist church es, and conducted by Evangelist Low ry arid helpers, closed Sunday night with a total of 592 conversions, ono hundred and one of whom took the stand for a better life Sunday. Tho revival attracted largo attend ance at every meeting during the five weeks, and this, too In face of the fact that upon many days and evenings the weather was rainy and disagree able. Tho expense of the meetings amounted to $1,800 which sum was met by personal donations, and the sub scriptions to Evangelist Lowry, which were asked for at tho two1 meetings held Sunday amounted to $1,434. There is no question but that tho re vival has been of wonderful benefit to North Platte. It has brought within tho pale of tho church several hun dred people and surrounded them with the good Influences of a church organ ization; It re-consecrated many pro fessed christians who had become luke warm, and the Influence for good has gone beyond those directly Interested and created a sentiment more favor able to a .higher morality. Certainly North Platte will bo benefitted by the tabernacle meetings.
