In the special election held Tuesday the propositions to vote $1(3,000 bonds for paving .street Intersection i and al ley spaces.and 12,000j to purchase the Dllllon tract of land for p:irk pur poses, received a favorablo vote tf two and one-half to one, as did also tho street lighting contract with the electric company. The vote by wards on tho three propositions was as follows Paving Itonds. For First Ward 135 Second Ward Ill Third Ward..; 154 Fourth Ward 153 Against 8G 27 GG 5G Total. . ..... .558 225 . Park Bonds. For Against Flrat Wiird 121 103 Second Ward....... 09 '38 Third Wa,nU... J......144 GG Foilrth, Ward 173 38 Total 53? 245 Light Contract. For Against First Ward 151 71 Second Ward 114 2t j Third Ward 1G3 47 Fourth Ward." 126 73 Total 554 215 Nearly eight hundred votes were cast, a much greater number than was anticipated during the forenoon hours. During the noon hour, however, men enroute homo from their work cast their ballots, and during the after noon there was steady voting until the polls closed at seven o'clock. While- it was generally conceded that tho paving bonds would carry, there was some doubt as to the park bonds, considerable opposition devel oping a few days before election, but it will be noticed by the returns that there was riot a great difference be tween tho three propositions and each carried by a majority much greater than was anticipated. By their vote a big majority of our citizens have gone on record as favor ing municipal Improvements, and wo aro confident that when our pavement is laid, park improved and new lighting system is In operaton, that many of those who voted against the proposi tion will admit that they were wrong in their vews. It is the Intention of the mayor and council tp proceed cautiously, in the paving-matter; they desiro that, the work-in-thls' first district bo com plete and satisfactory In every way. There Is much preliminary work be fore paving can actually, begin. The grade of the proposed district, as well as of practically tho whole city, must be accurately ascertained, the bonds must be- Issued and sold, tho material decided upon, and the spec ifications under which the work must bo, ddne" determined, and then jtha contract let. All- this will require tliile,';but it., is believed, that when, settled -weather' comes next spring all these preliminary details will have been completed and that the con tractor will bo ready' to begin wtfrk. In regard to the park; one of-' tho first acts of the council will probably bo to appoint three park commission ersj wlovJUihave charge of the new ly acquired' land "as'well as the park; in the First ward.( These commission fcrs practically serve wlthdut pay;j tho, stato law allowing each a salary of ten dollars a year. As the funds available for park purposes is not large, the improvements necessarily will bo slow, but within fivo years a nlco showing can bo made. The electric company will at once begin the work of putting in tho now street lighting system. This will require the expenditure of several thousand dollars and consid erable time, but the work will be hastened as rapidly as possible. Tho next move on North Platte's booster board is for a new depot and watch tho boosters get it. Baptist Church. As tho frost has not arrived to spoil Nebraska's beautiful crop (f com, so has Rev J.
