McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 2T 1908
BE A TEMPLE THEATRE BOOSTER
A Financial Statement of the Receipts Expenditures and
Urgent Requirements of the Splendid Enterprise
15000 MORE NEEDED TO COMPLETE BUILDING
Those Largely Interested in McCook Realty and AH Desiring McCooks
Advancement Should Rally to the Aid of This
Our Greatest Undertaking
The Board of Directors of the Masonic Temple Craft association
have just issued a financial statement of the condition of the temple
opera house now in course of construction Incidentally they offer
some other facts of equal importance
The figures disclose the fact that up to the date the circular
was issued from the press the receipts of the association on stock
subscriptions were 1487200
The disbursements up to the same date for all purposes were
1213704 A recapitulation of the disbursements shows that the
money went to the following persons and purposes
RECAPITULATION
Real estate 3 34500
Excavation 731 75
Concrete footings 926 19
Estimate of contractor 6 50000
Extra material furnished 15660
Architect and superintendent 43000
Miscellaneous 47 50
Total 12 13704
The circular makes public the fact that the total amount of stock
subscribed for up to that date was 3000000 That the board
has an offer to complete the building exclusive of plumbing heating
wiring and furnishings for 3350000 That the estimated cost of
the completed building will be 45 coo 00
McCook Masonic Temple Opera House
And this brings us to the fact which should be presented to the
people of McCook clearly and frankly viz A considerable sum at
least 1500000 will have to be further subscribed for in order to
complete the buildingas contemplated This is not an impossible
sum as quite a number of McCooks richest people have so far not
contributed a penny to this great city enterprise A number of
those who have come magnificently to the aid of the enterprise have
signified tlvir willingness to take additional stock Now if those
who are able and heavily interested in McCook realty and in Mc
Cooks advancement will do their part the enterprise will go on
without delay and to the earliest possible completion
Now for a Final Boost
The board of directors of the temple opera house have been busy
this week and been in consultation with numbers of leading citi
zens to the end that they feel considerably encouraged over pros
pects for the future Interest has been engaged which promises
results much to be desired Harmoniously united action essential
to the prompt success of the enterprise seems now to be practically
assured There are promises of a reassuring nature that the flow of
subscriptions which has been stopped for a few weeks will continue
withvolume and vigor Efforts to enlist new capital and other citi
zens appear to have measurably succeeded The absolutely fair inten
tions of the association and board of directors toward all citizens
the no debt and no graft declarations and determination of the
beard and stockholders place the project before the people in a
clear light which must and does appeal to all who have a real inter
est in and desire for McCooks continued growth and prosperity
The way now seems to be opening up for the completion of the
enterprise LET EVERYBODY BOOST ANEW

Both are Disgusted
Republicans and Democrats aliko can
not help being disgusted with tho lying
their hide bound party organs have
done during the paBt campaign A
paper whose proprietor either holds a
federal job or is looking for one can
not bo depended upon to tell tho un
biased truth about politics aud oven
sometimes about other things Why
should your report about daily affairs
be colored to suit tho selfish interests
or desires of the man who hnppened
to havo his money invested in news
paper machinery You havo a right to
havo pure news as well as pure food
And also why not pure advertising
The paper goes into the homo and is
read by your children You are trying
to keep their minds clean and would
raise a row if you found an immoral or
impure book in the house Why not
guard what they read in daily papers
as carefully The Lincoln Stato Journ
al columns are the best evidence of its
cleanness A whole lot of advertising
is found in other dailies that is kept out
of the Lincoln Journal When you
take The Journal you pay only for your
own paper as it has no deadbeats no
bad bills Everybody pays in advance
and every paper is stopped when the
time is out Its a co operative plan
every item of waste being eliminated
and you get the benefit Lincoln is

To Acquire a Site
There is clearly an activo interest and
a growing sentiment in McCook among
property - owners businossmen and
others favorable to the acquirement of a
site for a future city hall and fire de
partment building combined by the
present city council Expressions of
concern and of sentiment urging this
courso of action by the council may be
heard from many sources
It is urged that desirable property is
not likely ever to be purchasable at a
loss price perhaps never so cheap
again Such a desirable location is
available now and at a not unreasonable
price
While the state of our municipal fi
nances will not at present admit of tho
construction of an adequate building
the time is ripe for acquiring a site and
such a course would doubtless meet
with popular approval
