A Quarantine Tang1e.

The Lewiston Teller says: The con-
troversy between the city officials and
the county officials as to which is liable
for the expenses Of establishing and
maintaining a quarantine has reached a
very acute stage. Last week the com
missloners acting under the advice of
county attorney johnson, refused to
pay any part of the expenses of the
quarantine cases cared for at the Lewis
ton quarantine hospital, and last even
ing under the advice of City Attorney
Mcfarland the council decided to take
action in the future to throw all respon-
sibility of establishing the quarantine
upon the county board and the expense
upon the county.

Of title showing such fact, to be
examined and approved by the
attorney general.
The bill further provides that
in case buildings sufficient are
not on the site donated that the
board shall advertise for sealed
proposals for the erection and
completion of said building in
accordance with the plans and
specifications, etc.
Section 5, Appropriates $50. 600
or as much as is necessary to
carry into effect the provisions
of the bill.
From the foregoing it is plain
to be seen that with other towns
offering from $4,000 to $50, 600
as a bonus in addition to the 20
acres of land that Broken Bow
can not hope to be successful in
securing the school unless she
puts up a respectable bonus.
An amount equal to $4,000 as
named in the original bill should
be the lowest figure that the
subscription committee should
secure. That amount with the
many advantages our town holds
out for the future success of the
school will make our chances as
favorable, if not more so than
other towns that may be able to
raise twice the amount. 1t will
require several $1,000 and $500
contributions By those who are
able to secure the required
amount.

The Pioneer is correct. A dry

The Normal School Bill.

There seems to be a general
understanding with the people
of the city and comm unity that
as the $4,000 bonus appropria-
tion was eliminated from the
Normal School Bill that no bonus
will be required except the twenty
acres of land for campus. This
is mistake. 1t will not only be
necessary for the town getting a
location to put up the twenty
acres of land but more. Just
how much more it will be neces-

large amount of extra grading was
made necessary. Nearly double the
work has been done on the streets
last year that has generally been ac-
complished, and yet, owing to the
lack OF funds, we did not do all that
was necessary or that we desired to
do. We have to depend on poll tax
labor for quite an amount of street
work, and this is unsatisfactory for
the reason that teams for work on the
grader cannot be secured when most
needed except by direct and heavy
expense. If our citizens would pay
their poll tax to the Street Commits,
sioner or City Clerk they could get
the usual so cents reduction and
much better results would be accom-.
plisbed.

the expenses, the last nine items mem.
toned aggregating nearly $500, are
amounts paid out aside from the
usual expenses of the city. The items
are not correct to cent, but are APP
proximately right. The above ex-
penses do not include the large
amount of poll tax worked out. An
other item not included tn the state.
ment is the collection of $l35 from
insurance companies, which has gone
directly to the fire company of the
city. l want to congratulate the
Council of last year on this excellent
showing and to express the hope that
the coming year may bring just as
good results.
OCCUPATION TAX.
In the collection of occupation tax
the City Clerk has accomplished un
usually good results. The Council and
the Clerk have carried out their
plans adopted early in the
year of collecting from every
one alike. The occupation tax prob
lem in years past has been the hard
est one the officials had to wrestle
with, owing to the fact that some
business men paid while others did n ot
AS result many who we're willing
to pay would not do so because their
neighbor or their competitor was not
compelled to. During the present
year this ordinance has been strictly
enforced among all classes of business
and business men. The result is that
the amount realized from this branch
Of the city's revenue has been nearly
double that of former years, Not
withstanding the excellent results in
this department | believe the present
occupation tax ordinance is lame in
several particulars and would rec
ommend a revision of it or the passage
OF new one at the earliest possible
date.

built at the expense of the state,
| it is not fair that the place gett-
ing the Normal School should be
required to put up a bonus to
secure the location of Normal
School contemplated. But since
the bill provides for the board of
education taking in consideration
other properties in addition to
the twenty acres OF land, it will
be necessary for Broken Bow in
order to show her appreciation of
the opportunity to secure this
public institution, to offer a
bonus sufficient in size to i'm
press the locating board that We
want the school and are willing
to make a sacrifice in order to Sc
cure it. The provisions of the
bill touching upon the donations
that will be expected, are as
| follows:
Section 2. That the location
Of said school shall be at any
point not exceeding five miles
east of the ninety-eighth meri-
dian, to be determined and desig-
mated by the board of education

vided, That said school shall not
be located in any case at any
point unless there shall be donat-
ed to the state for perpetual use
of said school a suitable tract of
land not less than twenty COY
acres in extent, said land to be
worth at least seventy five (S75)
dollars per acre.
Section 3. Within thirty days
after taking effect of this act the
board designated in Section 2,
hereof shall advertise for two
consecutive weeks in The Ne

Star and the World .Hearald,
