restraint The United States circuit
court of the Eighth district aat St
Louis Saturday last handed down
an opinion that the purchase of the
Southern Pacific by the Union Pa
cific did not amount to a direct
and substantial restraint of either
interstate or Lnternatioal commerce
But it amounted to considerable
to the fellows who pulled off the af
fair and is a matter of substantial
consideraation with the people who
pay the freight

In addition to the above the Water Company lists a number of wat
er meters which are not included in the estimate The estimate does not
include any land owned by the Company nor does it include the resi
dence on the Companys land Respectfully submitted
ADNA DOBSON Civil1 Engineer
It was found that the land in the
city park 50 feet square on which
the stand pipe stands and the strip
of land 25 feet wide from the said
square to the south side of said
park is reasonably worth 1000
that the land on which the pumping
tyant of said company is located is
reasonably worth 3000 that the
brick house used by water works
engineer is reasonably worth 1500
that one lot in South McCook ussed
by said company for a road to said
pumping plant is reasonably worth
50 that the two 6 inch meters
which to replace would cost 500
each plus freight are reasonably
worth 500 and the 88 small meters
are reasonably worth 968 and the
entire plant including said real estate
and meters is worth 6775600
The mayor and city council de
cided to accept the 6500000 pro
position of the water works company
payment to be made in the water
bonds previously voted and issued
This avoids any necessity of dispos
ing of more than the remaining 20
00000 of the 8500000 bonds issue
The city council was in adjourn
ed session this morning also all
being present as above stated to
gether with City Attorney Wolff
The water question and other im
portant subjects were discussed
The city exjpects to take charge of
the water plant Saturday July 1st
It is announced to us -by the mayor
that the city will proceed at earliest
possible time to snk wells and take
other necessary steps to increase the
water supply of the city
