Herbert ( i.

How many are there now ? Mow many meters did the oily buy at cost ? How many meters are now installed ? Are there any water takers who have water meters in stalled who do not pay meter i ali-.sV What has been the total receipts from all sources ? What has been the total ex penditures and for what pur pose ? As by ordinance the Water Commissioner is required to present his report every three m < nths , I should think most of the above questions would be answered by such reports. 1 should think that a full re port printed in the city pap ers would be a good idea as then the citizens can at the city caucus and election take action to govern the Avater works question to the best ad- \anlage. J for one believe that the city should own and maintain water meters , and propose to present a resolution to the ul\ caucus , something like llns : Hesolved : That it is the si use of this caucus that the utyof Broken Bow , Nebr. should own , furnish and main tain all water meters used in connection with the city water sj.slem.

The water works question should be discussed before the city caucus and election as only through discussion can such a question be fairly handled. S. M. Downs. rilAF CAU.AWAY ROAI ) . The Republican lOditorial last week on the need of a good road to Callaway brought forwith considerable favorable comment. A good many citizens of Broken How seem to feel that there is nothing in the line of road work that is needed more than a good road to Callaway. A committee of Hroken Bow citizens should get to gether with a committee from Callaway and in co-operation with the County Hoard and the country people between the two towns pick out a road that will be as straight and as level as possible. There is no question but what the road is needed and it is simply the problem of how it shall be obtained. ( iooil Work by Officers. Sheriff Kennedy and Mar shall Shackelford are deserv ing of praise for their success in securing a confession of the burglarizing of the Witling's store from Arthur Norcutl. While there was considerable circumstantial evidence against Norcutt prior to his arrest and while he would have no doubt been convicted without the confession , yet the confession will probably save the County the cost of a law suit and removes any pos sible doubt as to Norcutt's guilt. The confession which Sheriff Kennedy was able to induce him to make and the QUALITY 5 U P R E M E EVERY OUNCE of material that ROCS into n Studebaker wagon or buKKy has the "Studebaker Reputation" behind H.
