All members are urged to be present as Important business will be transacted. paving the street Intersections and spaces opposlto the alleys. The $1(5,- 000 bonds to bo voted represent about one-fourth of tho cost of the paving contemplated, as It Is estimated by City Engineer McNanuira that the to tal cost of tho paviug will be $G0,000, of which amount the property owners wll pay 540,000. In addition to this, the property abutting the pnved dis trict will pay Us proportion of tho cost of paving the street Intersec tions and alley spaces; In other words the cost of paving the Intersections ;uid spaces will bo assessed against all property In the city. The city engineer has llgured that about thirty per cent of the coat of paving will be expended for labor, and his specifications will state that home labor must be employed. This means that about one-third of the $G0,000 will change hands in Norfh Platte, will pass frm the property owners and tho city into the hands of the laborers and toamsters, and from them pass through tho regular channels of trade. This is a phase of the proposition that our laboring men should not overook City Schools Open Tho city schools opened yesterday wttn an enrollment or i,2sr, an in crease of forty-two over tho enroll ment on the opening day last year, The enrollment atJhe high school yesterday was 254, an Increase of forty-four over last year; 393 at the Washington schools as compared with 345 last year, a gain or thlrty-elght; at tho Jolfcrson school 314 as against 32S last year, a loss of fourteen; 311 nt the Lincoln school as compared with 325 last year, a loss of fourteen; and eioven nt the Baker' school as compared with thirteen last year, School was dismissed at two o clock on account of labor day. Seven new teacliors hnvo been added In place of thoso who resigned last term. Among the former are Misses Ada Toole, of Kearney, Edith Malm, of Stromsburg, Mrs. Ada Turpie of Columbus, Ohio, Grace Tlolman, of Tobias, Sadie Brown of Mlnden, Isabella Stafford, of Pax ton and Catherine Johnson of this city. Tho Cost to You Tndh (dually In Ita Invv nt Iatks fnr tlin pnrront Vonr, the city council has Included a levy of one mill for Interest on tho paving bonds and three-fourth of a mill for the park bonds, this levy to be made In tho event the proposllons carry. If you havo any doubt as to what the Interest on these bonds will cost you Individually you can sntisfy yourself of tho exact amount by mul tiplying the 0110 and three-fourths mills by the number of ttoHurs at which your property is assessed. For example If your property is assessed at $100 which Is suposed to be one llfth of its selling price, but which In most enses Is about one-seventh of the real value Ithe paving bonds will cost you forty cents a year and the park bonds thirty cent, a total of sev enty cents por year. Four hundred dollars Is the average assessed value of all the homes In North Platte there are as ninny assessed under that sum as there are assessed abovo it, hence the average to all home owners In North Platte will be seventy cents. The Tribune heantlly favors both propositions and It apepals to all our citlzons tj well consider itheni. Hven If you do not uso tho streets, is not paved streets worth forty cents to your civic pride? may not often embrace the privileges ottered by a city park, but are you not suf ficiently unselfish to pay thirty cents a year In order that your children or some one else's children may enjoy a public park? To the smoker -and nearly all men smoke a public park and paved streets will cost you the prlco of fourtoon nickel cigars. Which will you have, the pfcved streets and the park or the cigars if you must economize? 31iss Conway's Cur Hums Miss Comfort Conway's Chevrolet car was burned Sunday afternoon near Suthrlund.

See HKATT fc (JOOD.MAN. The Lighting- Contract The general doslro on tho part of the people for bolter lighted streets is soon to bo realized. The mayor, tho council and the spe cial lighting committee, after having spent many months investigating street lighting methods and rates In other cities, have brought about a street lighting contract with the North Platto Light and Power Company which Is very favornblo for tho city. This contract, which is being publish ed in each Issue of tho Tribune, will be voted on by tho citizens September 14th and the Mayor and council auth orized to enter Into such contract with Itlin licht comnanv. T"The proposed street lighting sys te'ai will be wha't is known as tlio series system which means a sys tern of lights Independent of all other light and power circuits; Interrup Hon of one does not in refretowthlean tion of 0110" does not interfere with the other. The new lights will bo the: latest development of lamps for this purpose and of sixty oandlo pow;or double tiie size or tne present lamps Th new system will use a Are eiiam eled steel reflector instead of tho paint ed reflector used ontlie present lights The superior reflecting surface of the ennniolod hood will add greatly to the Illumination and appearance. In the business district the size of the lamps has been decreased but 'the number of lamps has been increased in order to secure a better distribution or ngni makinc an increase in the total candle power. Double the illumination will only cost the city about ten per cent Increaso In cost. Now that the mayor, council and special commute have secured a street lighting agreement on such favorable terms to .the city, the voters should not forget that it is necessary for them to go 'to tho polls Tuesday. September 14th and cast tlielr necessary vote for tho approval of tho contract. Don't forgot to cast your vote.
