An Important Step Taken
At the last session of the city council
this week Monday an important step
was taken by the city authorities when
they empowered theordinance committee
to secure the service of C H Meeker to
make a survey run levels etc draw
plans and write specifications cost otc
of an adequate sewerage system for the
city of McCook For years there has
been much talk about the necessity of a
sewerage system for McCook The cost
of thepreliminary work has in the past
precludedanything being done by the
authorities This work will take in tho
neighborhood of 30000 but tho object
to be gained is well worthwhile and so
far as it goes will bo a permanent asset
ot the city And without it we will
never even know whether the project is
practicable from a monetary point of
view
This step authorized by the city coun
cil will determine the matter of feasibi
lity and practicability and the council
will then be in position to tell the people
of the city what it will cost what sec
tions of the city can be served by the
proposed sewers etc what connections
will cost the property holders and in
fact it is proposed to secure all needed
information the citizens of McCook may
need to act and vote upon this question
intelligently
The Tribune endorses this business
like action of tho council and as the
matter develops will take pleasure in
giving publicity to the results of their
action as brought out by Mr Meeker in
his work The people of McCook are
now in line to know whether or not
they really want a system of sewers
We need the sjstem The question is
will we be willing to pay the price It
would be a good investment in money
and in health It would mark a distinct
advance in the development of this city
