Tho pollwi headquarters were mov
td esterday from the upstairs room
at the corner of Front and Dewey to
tho firo station building. Here
will occupy room which the firemen
have been using for a reception room.
The firemen have moved upstairs in
to tho new addition and tho room va
cated has been fixed up for pollca
purposes. A door now connects with
the hall leading to tho outside door
opening on tho east. A vault has been
placed in this room and tho rear door
(opens into a room which is to bo used
as a detention room where prisoners
can be taken for cross examination
and held -while awaiting Uio arrival
of witnesses or evidence. Tho now
Tooms are heated by tho plant at tho
firo station and can bo used night
or day. Tho city thus consolidates its
fire, water nnd police departments in
Its own building nnd thus saves rontal
-charges. When seon lastnight Chief
Spillner said, "We arc not fixed up
very well yet but will bo very well
located when we get things arranged."
Judge Tracy will have his office in
this room with the chief.

TO INCREASE
LOCAL TAXES
CITY MUSEUM TO HE FOSTERED
BY LOCAL D. A. R.
CHAPTER
, At the meeting of the local D. A. R.
last evening a movement was launch
ed for the establishment of a museum
for this community Since one of tho
purposes for which tho North Platte
City Library was created was the
maintaining of a museum, it was sug
gested that the library building
would bo a good place In which to
house it. It was not definitely deter
mined just what part of the history
of this county would bo Included In
tho period for which relics and mu
seum specimens are to bo collected
but It is probable that they will bo
confined to some definito period on
account of lack of room to take caro
of all tho material that comes.

under tho occupation tax. At tho last
meeting of tho city council the matter
was brought up and referred to tho
ordlnanco committee. This commit
tec will probably revise tho proseht
ordlnanco by omitting cortain sections
such as tho ono putting a ltconso'on

committee will report its recommen

tax and select what occupations
shall be taxpd. Tho city needs the
