Ho spoko of tho street iignting system and said tho Company is ready to do all it can to give hotter street lighting service. He said tho wires are in place and all it needs is the action of tho Council to have tho fixtures installed and there will ho a light at every crossing in the resldenco part of tho city instead of at overy other crossing, as it now stands. He told how his associates laughed at him when ho built tho North Platto Lighting Plant and mado sport of his idea that this city would ever need such a large plant. When first put into operation it only used 40 of its capacity. Mr. Todd said ho had faith in North Platto and its future and in spite of their unbelief tho plant was built.

The plant at present Is carrying a load of 114 of its intended service, and the management has plans drawn for Improvements to cost at least $75, 000.
