It is probable that the council will elevate the water rates, making a minimum charge of twelve dollars a .car. Cost of operation of the plant has increased to such an extent that an advance In rates is necessary to keep the plant from going too far in ''trfhe Ii'oVj." While evcrytltfng cJse has advanced in piIce, the water rates have remained unchanged, but condi tions have now reached a point when the advance must bo made. : :o: : Harry Wnlteiunih llreaks Arm.

The present member ship is at its lowest point, nnd efforts vi'll bo ma 'lo to build it up to about niaimum strength. Additional hose will be purchased, as will also boots, coats and other equipment for the members. ::o:; Will Clean Sewers. Tho council has made arrangements to have a demonstration of a turbine macllno for cleaning sewers. The company offers to come here and clean out a 'thousand feet of sewer free of charge, hoping to sell the city a ma chine at a cost of about fifteen hun dred dollars. It Is iprobablo that at least part of our system is pretty well clogged with grease and sticky sub stances and if tho mains were cleaned we would not bo troubled so much with sewer water backing up into basements, as is frenuontlv tho case in the business section. ::o:: Investigate Camp Site. On Tuesday aternoon nine members of the Boy Scout Council made a trip to tho Roberts pasture, about two miles north of Sioux Lookout, for tho Ipurposo of investigating a camp site for the Hoy Scouts and Campllro Girls. It now seems certain that one of two sites in that neighborhood will bo se lected. A small stream runs through the tracts and both have considerable heavy timber, with sufficient open space to make an Jdeal camp ground. Of course tne csiaoiisning oi huh camp will depend upon the support given these movements by the citizens of-North Platto. but from tho senti ment wU'ch has already been express ed by the various organizations of tho city, It would seem that a permanent camp is assured. Plans aro being ma tured for putting on a ilnancial cam paign May 17th to 19th to raise ?5,000 for camp and equipment for tho Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls. :o::' few d Car VSTlv n -m. ..-w u i t . tr.t The Truly Exceptional Car He who demands utmost value, who challenges admira lion and approval.
