F LADIES OXFORDS AND $4.95 Wilcox Department Store MOVE THE COURT HOUSE I'KOl'OSITION TO SELL PRESENT . LOCATION AND PURCHASE ANOTHER. A proposition Is bolng proaonted to the County. Commissioners which should receive very careful consid eration before anv nHlnn in liilrpn It is proposed to boII tho block o I which tho Court Houso is located and plnco tho now building on another1 location. It Is thought that a block ' can bo secured at the end of Dewey' street, next to tho Burlington right- of-way or either east or west of tho present location. It Is argued that tho b'iBiness street of North Platto cannot go further south on account of tho court houso and high school and that on account of high rents thoro must bo moro business houses erected in tho near future. It is estimated that tho present location of tho Court Houso would bring from 80,000 to ?100,00b. It is. thought that nnothor block could bo bought for from ?2O,Q0O to ?G0,000 leaving a clear difference of from ?30,000 to ?50,000. This amount would go to. ward building or furnishing tho now building, North Platto business In THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK numbers among its officers men who have had practical experience in both the farming and stock busi ness in Lincoln County, and all of its officers are deeply Interested 'in the problems which are confront ing tho farmers and stock growers, and are ready at all times to render the best assistance .they can in solving them. Come in and see us ant! talk things over at any time. First National Bank, North Platte, Nebraska. mama raa m ammm terests aro back of tluf movement and many of our business men aro enthusiastic, nbout it as they think It will bolioflt North llntto by allow ing -lis business district to expand and that It will benoflt Lincoln Co. by giving It a largo sum of ready money to apply on the now Court1 Houso. On the other hand thoro aro n number ot people who think that what is good for North Platto busi ness is Just ns good for Lincoln Co. business. Thoy Bay that Lincoln County is about to expend $175,000 on a new building but that it is not going to put It Into a structure that will stand on a back street. Sonio doubt whether a clear title could bo secured to tho prosont court houscT block nnd others say It could not bo sold at prosont for anywhoro what it is wortli owing to tho financial de pression. Somo North Platto peoplo Bay that tho Court Houso block is dosignod nB tho confer ot a group or buildings of which tho High schoola and tho City library aro a part and which would in time bo a sort of clvio center. And so it goes, good arguments bolng prosontod on both sides. Tho proposition will bo put up to tho Commissioners who will ask tho decision of tho peoplo boforo taking any action. Tho columns of this paper nro open to original communi cations front any Lincoln County people, communications favoring or disfavoring tho plan. Tho matter should bo thrCBhod out thoroughly before anything definato is done. I. PUMP IS
