People Must Clean Premises.
The complaint against Chas. McDon
ald for failure to clean up his Front
Blreet lot within a specified time,
was dismissed Friday forenoon upon
promise to clear the rubbish from the
lot instnnter, which promlso was car
ried Into effect beforo evening. In the
complaint against John Hcrrod, n
hearing will bo held this forenoon.
Thoso who hava ben notified to
clean v up their premises, or follow
instructions of Special Health Inspec
tor Hoagland, nnd havo failed to obey,
had bettor do so at once, for If they
do not complaints will bo filed and
they will bo hauled before Judge
Mlltonberger.
This general clean-up of North
Platte is necessary for the preserva
tion of the health of our people, es
pecially this year, when so much rain
has fallen to assist the decomposition
of garbage, which throws off the disease-breeding
germs and microbes.
With nbout twenty cases of small-pox
and fourteen cases of typhoid fever in
town, we believe that citizens gener
ally will agreo with us that this clean
ing up process has not been taken In
hand any too soon.
Let us all assist Inspector Hoag
land In tho work by promptly remov
ing nil rubbish and filth from our
premises.
Initial 31oe Toward Pining
At the meeting of the city council
this evening the Initial move in the
paving proposition Is expected to be
made. President Seeberger, of the
Chamber of Coiherce, obtained from
Hastings copies of the notices of elec
tion recently held thero for Issuance
of $50,000 bonds for paving Intersec
tions, and these notices have been
turned over to City Attorney Keefo for
his information in drafting notices for
the election proposed to be held in this
city in tho near future. At this elec
tion In Histlngs tho bonds carried by
a vote of three to one. In that city
considerable paving has already been
done, and the peoplo realizing the ben
efit of such Improvement, do not hes
itate to vote bonds for additional dis
tricts. This will prove true In North
Platte; get tho paving started and ev
erybody will bo in favor of extend
ing the work.
It is expected that at the meeting
this evening he amount of bonds to bo
voted upon and tho date of the elec
tion will be determined and that tho
city attorney will be Instructed to
draw the necessary notices. The pav
ing district ns now contemplated but
not definitely settled Includes Dewey
and Locust from Front to Third, and
perhaps Front, Sixth, Fifth and Fourth
from Pine to Locust, a total of six
teen blocks.
Weather Record Again Broken
For tho first time In tho forty-ono
years tho weather bureau has been in
existence North Plntto had n frost In
July. This occurred Sunday morning
when Observer Shilling, reported not
only n temperature o'f "forty-one de
grees, but a llghUfrosf as well. The
frost, however, was not sufficiently
heavy to affect even the most tender
vcgetntlon, but nevertheless It was n
frost.
Certainly weather conditions In
westorn Nebraska this year aro errat
ic. Some sny that It Is duo to the war
In Europe, but as to this we havo noth
ing to say. Wo do know, however,
thai wo have hnve an excess of ovor
ninctuul one-half inches of rain since
the first of January, that the tcmnora-
turo-ln May and June was below tho
normal and that we had a frost on the
morning of July 4th.
