FUTURE SCHOOL BUILDING
lMtiaiABV ELECTION "WILL BE
HELD SEl'TEMBEU lGlh
At ii meeting of the board of educa
tion last night a block of land In the
now H. & S. Addition was purchased
for the site of a future school building.
Thin tract lies directly HoutJi of the J.
O. Deeler residence, and the price to
bo paid tho II, & S. Agency is S4,2o0,
which sum is considerably leas than
tho price which has boon placol upon
other blocks in this latest addition to
North Platte. Couce&slons were made
by tho H. & S. Agency In older to se
cure the location of tho building in tho
addition. Tho location as viewed from
tho noeds of tho school population is
just right.
Additional school accommodations
are badly needed, and a building In
this particular section became a neces
sity. Tho proposed building wlll
probably bo erected next yoar.

Ebright, who lives flvo milas south

Hhlle the delegates are supposed to
bo l'on-polltlcal, Hoagland is a woll
known republican, Beeler equally woll
known as a democrat and Ebright is
a non-nartisan leacuer. and tho can

Tho law provides that when there

election shall be held, and therefore
as this county is a district by Itself, a
primary election will bo held Septem

candidates a primary election would
not havo been necessary.
