t 0. Wclngand Is having a petition
prepared asking tho city council to
create a paving district to consist of
Mint part of Fourth streot from Lo
cust street to Washington avonuo and
north dn that avenue to Fifth. This
would include twelve hlocks. Mr. Wein
gand has . interviewed a majority of
the lolrownors tynd finds that they are
in fnvdr ttf the Creation of ,the district.
The plan is to narrow the streot
.from fifty-four to thirty feet, adding
12 feet to the parking on each side of
tho streot, and 'pave from curb to
curb. Brick seems to be ttho most pop
ular manorial with those who have
been Interviewed on the subject. The
estimated cost Is about $250 for each
sixty-six foot lot, tho city to pay for
the streo Intersections.
Tho petition will bo ready for cir
culation In a few days and if signed by
a majority of those owning lot front
age will be presented to tho council
and tho necessary arrangements can
be made during the winter and work
started when spring opens.

Mutual Building &Loan Assn.

ASSETS $840,000.00
To Prospective Building & Loan Borrowers;
Non-resident Building & Loan Companies arc adver
tising the fact that they have reduced the monthly payments
of horrovveirs to $1.10 per month on each $100.00 horrowed,
making the monthly payment the same as the Mutual Build
ing & Loan Association of North Platte. They fail to state
that of the SI. 10 paid to the non-resident company, there is
only thirty-five cents credited as a principal payment, the
halancC seventy-five cents heing taken for interest. Of the
$1. 10 monthly payment to this association on each S100.00
borrowed sixty cents is for interest and fifty cents is credited
as a principal payment.
This difference in the amount credited the borrower
will result in the borrower in the non-resident company he
ing compelled to pay not less than $25.00 more on each
$100.00 borrowed in order to discharge the debt than they
would if they were doing the business with this Association.
