KDITOK KKPUHLICAN :
Your editorial on the
\\.iliT works question a few
\\irks a < , ro was very timely
since many of us have been
bin ing an interest in the wa
in system , J should like
to see the following1 question
asvuTcd through your col
umns :
I low many water takers
u.is there on July 1st. , 1JJ08V
MI.W man } ' was there on .July
Ni. , 1UO ! ) ? 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.
I bought a water meter re
cently at a cost of $15.00 I
have not seen it yet , but sup-

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.

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.

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
