One of tho constructive measures
which the Chamber of Commerce hon
to its credit is the initiative In hav
ing tho city attorney of North Platte
t:rnft n bill amending tho law so that
the city could vote J-nnd.i or wu-t
extensions and enlargements The
amo-nt or such bonds was fixed by
law and North' Platto had reached
that amount and still needed mor3
money. The bill as drafted passed
the legislature and the city council
tpking advantage of the provision
called nn election and the people
voted $100,000 bonds. When tho pres
ent plans havo been carried out,
North Platte will havo a modern wat
er system, adequate to Its needs and
in a position to pay Its own way.
This was made possible through tho
activities of the Chamber of Com
merce. A year ago thero was considerable
complaint about the dumping of
garbage about the city. It was
shown that thero wore eleven differ
ont places within or near tho city
where refuse was deposited. Tho mat
tor was presented To tho directors of
the Chamber of .Commerce and n
committee wns appointed to work
with tho city officials In improving
the conditions. The' plans proposed
by tho commltteo called for establish
ing a dumping ground nbout a mllo
east of the city limits and on wasto
ground where It would not ordinarily
be seen. The plan wns adopted and
strict rules mado for tho disposal of
garbage. Tho plan has worked fairly
