To the City Councilt
We, your committee OF the council

That we have gone upon and along

Boosters club OF this city. Some OF
the pipe line we don't find In good

cient attention to the same, the pipe
line may be made TO last some time
longer. We would not recommend put.
ting In permanent parts in those Dor.

city; and we could not recommend
putting In tile pipes along the side OF
the points where the engineers rec.
ommended the change. We recon.
mend putting substantial bearings or
supports under those portions OF the
pipe line constructed during the pres.
ent year with new material.
We believe II Will be cheaper to ex.

THRIFT Is a singular thing that
while the majority OF farmers who
buy irrigated land know nothing of r.
rigation,, YOU a never interest an
irrigation farmer in any other kind of
land. He doesn't have to understand
all about irrigation to succeed. The
ditch rider knows and the farmer soon
knows.
Fourth - While your Eastern Ne
braska land will go on mp to $3.50 per
acre, it may then stop, or it may go
back to $50 or SO, like the same land
did in Pennsylvania. Ohio and New
York. But your irrigated land, in
creasing its fertility and producing
power each succeeding year, will do
like the other irrigated land in this
country and Europe-go on up to 5000,
$500, 800 and 5000 per acre, and Will
not simply keep you, but will make
you rich.
This land lies 50 perfectly that a fiat
price of SO per acre has been fixed on
all uncultivated land and $50 upon cul-
tivated land; hence the first excur-
