Tho voters aro to bo asked to ap

$100,000 for water works and from
$50,0u0 to $75,000 for sower. At
tho meeting of the City Council last
Tuesday evening tho City Attorney
waB directed to draw up an ordinance
covering this matter. It was agreed
that tho amount now available for
this work is onlirely Inadequate for
tho purpose and that additional sums
will bo needed to put tho water and
sewer systems on a basis proportion
ate to tho slzo of tho city.
Under the new law Just passed by
tho State Legislature tho city of
North Platte Is allowed to voto up to
$250,000 water bonds. Tho city has
already voted $150,000 and tho of
ficials think that tho dther $100,00f0
will bo needed in the near future to
put the plant in shape. In order that
we may know just where tho city
stands in the matter the Council
directed tho City Engineer to ask C.
J. McNamara to come to North
Platto as consulting englncor'hnd
with the Water Commissioner to
make a detailed study of tho condi

the city for the present and leavo a
