TALK BEHIND CLOSED DOORS City Oonnoil Heidi Eiecntive Session Two Ilonn Over Electric Lighting , MEMBERS FAIL TO REACH AN AGREEMENT After Lome nml Ilcntcil DlncniifiloH They I'liinllVote to Carry the Mnttrr Over Until he Acxt Ilceulnr MecthiK. After holding a secret session for two hours last night , sitting as a committee of the whole , the city fathers failed to reach an agreement on the oloctrlo lighting propo sition and as a last resource It was finally decided to postpone action until the regular meeting next month. The meeting was held behind closed doors In Mayor Jennings' private ofnco In the city building. After the several bids before the council had been thrashed over and over and cac'V alderman appeared to have a dif ferent opinion os to which was the beat , Alderman Shubort suggested that Electrician Lovett bo asked as to his opinion as to which of "tho thrco Iblds" was the lowest and whether or not ho considered the lowest bidder responsible. This reference by Alder man Shubert to "threo folds' ' * was about In line with the whole discussion , during which the blda of the Council Bluffs Gas and Light company wore practically Ignored. Lovefct , in answer to Shubort's query , re plied that his tabulation showed that the 'bid ' of Draffen's company was the lowest J104.000 and that the bids of the J. P. Mil ler company and the Stockner Contracting company were respectively J112.000 and $108- 000. As to the matter of the responsibility of the different bidders , Lovott expressed the opinion that under the sureties which would bo required any of them would be come responsible. Lovett also said that Draffen's bid was the only one. that was In strict compliance with the plans nnd specifi cations. At this point In the proceedings Alderman Shubert , who eo far had done most of the talking , eatd : "Now , I want to do my best In this mat ter and I don't want to vote to kill It to night , but I tell you honestly , fellows , I don't know Just what to do ; It beats mo Just like everything to tell Just how to vote. Butte to get an expression of the council I move you that the bids of Mr. Miller and the Secknor company bo rejected and that the bid of Mr. Draffcn bo held over until next Monday night or until eomo other future date. " This motion was seconded by Alderman Casper , who many times during the discus sion declared that he- would vote for the lowest "bidder "and I don't give a d-n who ho Is. " | : The mayor called for a viva voce vote and | 1 there were a few faint ayes and one 6r two1 stronger noes. When the mayor called for1 , the noes there were no responses and the ] motion was declared carried. It looked ! era t a few moments as If the whole matter was' ' settled , but soon mumblings of disapproval , commenced to break forth and Alderman Brough , who had not said much up to this point , took the floor and slid : ' "Now , gentlemen , I don't Vnow much about this thing , but I want to tell you this : Mr. Draffen came to mo the other day and told mo that If we would vote him this franchise he would buy In the old plant and make anew now one of It. Now , I don''t ' know what you gentlemen think about that , but as for'me 1 don't think the city wants that old plant. It Isn't worth the money. " This brought forth tbo remark from Cas per thafc ho would not vote to accept the plant of the local company even If it were deeded to 'the ' city free of cost. Atkins chimed In with a very similar remark. Then the previous action was rescinded and the vote on the original motion stood as follows : Yeas , Casper , Atkins. Shubert ; nays , Saylcs , Christensen , Brough , Johnson. Then Atkins , with a good deal of feeling , said that If the majority of the aldermen wanted to kill the entire scheme ho was with them. Ho had been studying for three solid months and was heartily sick of the whole thing. Ho said : "If we are going Into this deal why let's do It right away and If wo oxo not lot's kill the whole thing. " Then Alderman Johnson , who was begin ning to think they had threshed the mat ter over , long enough , moved that action bo postponed until fho next regular meeting and on roll cell the motion carried by the follojving vote : Yeas , Johnson , Brough , Sayles , Christensen ; nays , Casper , Atkins , Shubert. " " l"h"o aldermen then adjourned to the coun cil chamber , where the representatives of the different firms bidding wore anxiously awaiting them. A report of the secret ses sion was called for , but each of the al dermen appeared 1o hesitate In making It untlf finally Shubert was called upon to do BO. Jio aald : "Gentlemen , we ihavo failed to accomplish anything and after thoroughly discussing the question wo have decided to defer action until the next regular meet ing , which will bo a week from next Mon day. " On the motion to adopt the report being put Casper and Atkins alone voted against It. Millinery Opening. Monday evening , September 25 , nt Miss Sprlnk's , 21 Main street. C. E.

Mayor Jen nings' letter to the mayors was as follows ; " .My Dear Sir : It 'having ' been determined that Council llluffw will bo the first point In the state upon which our regiment , now re turning from Manila , will land , I called n mass convention of our people to decide upon the manner of receiving the regiment. It not ) the unanimous voice of the meeting thai the reception should be of a broad character by all the people of our etato and In no man ner limited to any particular locality. To carry out this Idea a committee of thirty- three members , composed of the mayor and two citizens appointed by him from each city bavins n company In the regiment , wan thought by us to be the appropriate means of arranging the reception. "The tlmo for preparation I * short and we but share what Is the sentiment of every citizen that the great state of Iowa should In some fitting manner show to our returnIng - Ing soldiers our deep appreciation of their loyal services. "I most sincerely urge upon you as mayor of your city to co-operate with our people and appoint two of your citizens to act with you on this committee. It is our deslro thai this celebration shall In no manner Interfere with the reception each locality is now pre paring for their respective company , bui rather that all the people of Iowa employ the occasion of the return of the regiment to present the royal greeting of the state. "It Is necessary that wo have a meeting o all members of thlo committee at as early n date as possible for an expression of opin ion of the other cities deeply Interested. To that end I have called a meeting of the proposed - posed committee at Creston , la. , for Wednes day , September 27 , at 10 o'clock a. m. , ani I sincerely hope you will act promptly on this matter and that your city will bo rep resented by yourself and two of your citi zens. The tlmo Is so ehort that I feel con strained to ask that you reply by wire. " To the mayor of Creston , where the meetIng - Ing Is called , Mayor Jennings wrote as fol lows : "My Dear Sir : I send you herewith a letter similar to the letter written by mete to the mayor of each city having n com pany In the Fifty-first Iowa regiment. Your city was selected as the place for a meeting of the committee for the reason that It la the most central point for such mooting The necessity of prompt action compelled mo to make this selection without first con- ! suiting with you. I trust , however , that ' you will find It convenient to furnish to us the use of your council chamber or other suitable place for holding the conference. "May I not further Iraposo upon you by asking you to wrlto to the mayors of each of the following cities , by Inviting and urg ing them to attend the meeting DCS Molncs , Glonwood , Red Oak , Vllllsca , Corning.
