The Northwestern printed the re vised ordinances of Loup City last week and has delivered the books to the city. This has been a big undertak ing^md now the laws of the city are in better form than they have ever been in before. Some have complained at the expense incurred, but it takes a little money to accomplish results. It is also a necessary proceeding, or the State of Nebraska would not have spent $35,000 in codifying the state laws a few years ago. The Northwest ern force is now busy with the Rock ville ordinance, which we hope to be able to deliver Friday. Ashton and Boelus have also had their ordinance codified and revised, as well as many sther towns in this section of the state. 1 S i i f X.
