MAYOR STURGEON TAKES UP
FIRST STREET PROPOSAL.
AN ANSWER TO A. J. DURLAND
Mayor Sturgeon Declares Paving
Should be First Municipal Work
Taken up Offers Objections to the
First Street Scheme.
Norfolk , Nob. , Mn > 115. ltKS. ) EdItor -
Itor News : 1 beg HIIUCO In > our val-
nod paper to luply to Mr. A. J. Dur-
land's urlluh ) uiiilur ilatu of May 23 ,
1'JOS , In which he asks the present
administration to expend $2,500 on
First street the coming joar. Mr.
Diirlund says liu thliikH H Is not pos
sible to jtavu Main stiuot. However ,
111' falln to give any tenson why. Thu
required number of property owners
on Norfolk avonno luivo signed thu
petition for paving , and are all ruady
to luivo the street pavod. As t was
elected on the paving Issue , the pav
ing of the biiHlnuHB section shall bo
the first public Impioveinont that will
bo considered , and nothing else tihall
bo allowed to Intoiforo so tar as 1 am
concornod. Nelthor the macadamiz
ing of First struct , nor any t > ldo streut
nor the purchasing ot a park , will bo
given any consideration by thu city
until the paving is accomplished , If I
can help It. I wish to go on record
right here , that 1 urn unalterably op
posed to the Klist stieot move , for the
slmplo reason that it is unfair , unjust ,
unreasonable and discriminating
against the majority of tax payers In
the Interest of a favored few.
First street Is not a traveled street
compared with Third or Fourth
street. The vast amount expended
last year on First street was entirely
out of proportion and should have
been distributed In other sections of
the city , anil the present deplorable
condition of our streets and crossings
are In at this time proves the folly of
the expenditure.
Mr. Durland goes on to say that the
Junction people want this. Now to
see the folly of the argument , a man
living on Fourth street just west of
the Junction wishing to come up town
on Mr. Durland's macadamized road ,
must go four blocks out of his way
in Older to do so. Again Mr. Durland
argues , property on East Norfolk av
enue * will bo much benefited by keepIng -
Ing the travel on First street. That
argument Is not true for the blmplo
leason that you cannot make water
run up hill. The town will naturally
sock the natural or most desirable avenues
'
enues of business. The writer well
remembers when the Oxnurd hotel
was built that one of the chief argu
ments was that Hast Norfolk property
would Immediately commence to
boom. Where Is the boom since the
Oxnard was built ? Does the present
condition prove the truth of the ar
gument ? If Mr. Dnrland wishes tc
hold property values on East Norfolk
avenue , let him get his coat oft nnd
help the present administration pave
: Norfolk nventie and not block the
wheels of nrocross by trying to side
track the public interest to First
street. Mr. Durland cunningly throws
the present mayor and council a bou
quet in the argument for First street
macadamized road by saying that the
public would rise up and call them
blessed. The present mayor has nev
er had many bouquets handed him ,
and Is not looking for that kind of
notoriety. He Is trying to do his
plain , honest duty and his motto Is ,
"Do the greatest good to the greatest
number. Equal rights to all and spe
cial privileges to none. "
GIve First street Its pro rata of
work , and no more , no less. The
same with every other street in our
city.

Norfolk has entertained a rather un
sightly collection of cripples the last
two or three weeks. Men who have
noticed this have figured out that crip
pled men would probably be the first

ment In many of the largo cities.

but will probably make a rapid get
away when the harvest season ar

POSTOFFICE ENFORCEMENT OF
PROVISIONS THE CAUSE.
MORE FINES ARE INFLICTED
Mere Technical Provisions Are Being
Enforced Than Ever Before In the
Railway Mall Service , and Time ,
cards Must be Adhered to ,
1'nder a new policy of the postof-
lee department of the government In
nlllctlng more lines upon railroad ?
linn ever before for delays In dellv-
ring the malls , train schedules wlM
lecomo Blower instead of faster. The
allrond schedule-makers will work to
ay out tlmecards which can bo ad-
lered to without any chance of fall-
re , rather than to make fast sched-
les which can not be clung to In
ase of any mishap.
It In mild that never has the | K > st-
lllco department been so rigid In the
nforcement of all technicalities In
onnectlon with the railway mull ser-
Ice as now. For example , where a
allroad used to be lined for failure
o deliver the malls at a terminal
olnt on schedule , the\ are now fined
or failure at each station to deliver
lie malls on schedule.
Many provisions which were In the
egulations long ago are just now , for
ho first time , being enforced. And
o train schedules may bo expected to
low down.

CRETE TO HAVE Y. M. C. A. HOME
Structure as Planned Will Cost
Twenty Thousand Dollars.
Crete , Neb. , May 23. At a meeting
of the city Young Men's Christian
association directors and most of the
business men of Crete last night defi
nite plans were discussed for the
building of a new $20,000 Young
Men's Christian association home.
The plans were presented by General
Secretary Luke and G. L. Melssner ,
president of the association. State
Secretary Bailey and Mr. Meade ol
York , representing the state executive
committee , were both present and
helped to explain the situation.
The present plan calls for a build
Ing 44x110 , Including a thtrteen-fool
basement and two full stories above
The building Is to contain all modern
arrangements for amusement and as
sociatlou work.
As Crete Is only a little city of 3.000
the new building Is a large undertak
Ing , but the business men are reallz
Ing that In order to keep abreast with
other cities , they must furnish a place
for their young men and boys and for
the surrounding commercial territory
That they are in earnest to accom
pllsh something Is proved by the fact
that over $9,000 has already been sub
scribed In bona fide pledges , besides
a liberal sum that Is conditional ! }
pledged.

The Lander oil fields at the western
erminus of the Northwestern are in
ho front just now through the pros-
Mice at lender of a party of English
apltallsts who have secured options
) ii the Illuminating oil Holds In the
Salt crock and Powder river territory ,
lity miles north or Casper , and the
nol oil fields nine miles south of Lan-
ler.
International exports have pro-
lonncod the Wyoming oil fields as the

'or Omaha In ninety days. This Is to

field and Indicated a hearty inclination
: o help the project. A pipe line will
) o built to Lander , and Wyoming oil
of the new syndicate will be shipped

erection of the pipe line.
During the past year prominent of
ficials of the Northwestern , Including
President Hughitt and Vice President
Gardner , have passed through Norfolk
a number of times on trips to and
from the Lander oil fields. It has at
different times been reported that the
Northwestern contemplated the use ol
oil as fuel on Its system. The ofllclals
have always been non-committal on
these trips.
