I JENNINGS WILL TAKE A HAND Proposes to Have tbo Lighting Question Settled at Once. CALLS COUNCIL MEETING FOR TONIGHT Fnvnm AilrrrtlnlnK for Illdw for MKhtlltK for n Term of Flvp Yearn Without thp Munleliial Own- crulilp ClniiNC. Mnyor Jennings lias Issued a call for a ( special meetlt/p of the city council tonight for the purpose of considering the advisabil ity of rescinding the action taken at the ses sion Monday night In tbo matter of rcndver- Using for bids for lighting the cty. At the meeting Monday night Alderman Casper succeeded In having a motion car ried that the city readvertlee for bids In the same form that It had twice previously done. On both former occasions the city had Issued three separate advertisements calling for bids for the establishment of an electric lighting plant according to plans and speci fications on ( lie In the offlco of the city clerk , the proposition to provide for the ultimate ownership by the municipality of the plant ; I for bids for lighting the city for the term of fifteen yeare , and for bids for lighting the ' city for the terms of flve , ten and fifteen years. Bids under these several propostlons have been submitted to the council , but each tlmo the nldermen were unable to ngrco as to which firm or company to let the contract to and , falling to award the contract , have ordered all bids rejected and the advertise ment again published. This has entailed considerable expense and , as was ehown at the meeting last Monday , has proved unsat isfactory and devoid of results. The aldermen , with the exception of Cas per , all come to the conclusion that the pres ent tlmo Is not favorable for many reasons for the city to consider the proposition of | municipal ownership of an electric lighting plant , and at last Monday night's session Alderman Shubert suggested that this phase of the nuestlon bo omitted from the city's advertisement for bide. Ho was opposed by Casper , and the latter's motion to have the three advertisements published once more prevailed. Mayor Jennings , however , Is anxious that the forcn of advertisement should be re modeled , the one relatlnc to mnnleln.ti own ership eliminated and one only published calling for specific bids for lighting the city. Mayor Jennlngp , who will , It was said at the city hall yesterday , have the support of the majority of the aldermen , wants an adver tisement Issued this tlmo that will require the bidders to state specifically In their bids the number of lamps and kind of lamps they propose furnishing. Heretofore the bids have been more or less Indefinite. Of the two last bids that were before the council , that of Thomas Bowman failed to specify the number of laoips he would supply , while his bid was on two kinds of lamps open arc lamps and closed alternating are lamps. The bid of the Council Bluffs Gas and Electric company wao on 150 lights at so 'much per lamp ; ier annum , but'did not specify 'the kind of lamp. JcniiliiBn Stilton III * Partition. In talking of the matter yesterday Mayor Jennings said : "I desire to have this mat ter settled and the contract for lighting the city awarded. We have dilly-dallied with the matter too long nnd as long as bids are called for under the form of advertisement published heretofore I do not believe any thing will be accomplished. I have called a special meeting of the council for Thursday night nnd will then ask the aldermen to re scind their action of laet Monday night. At the same time I will suggest that a more definite advertisement bo published omit ting all the cumbersome matter as to munici pal ownership , etc. I am in favor of simply advertising for bids to light the city for a term of five years , and no longer , all bids to state definitely the number and character of lamps. This will avoid all chance of quibbling and each bidder will have to etand by the contents of his bid. " Thomas Bowman is at present out of the city , but It is understood that one of the persons interested with him in his former bid says ho will not again enter the field. Owing to the opposition gf many of the aldermen to let a contract for a longer term than five years none of the Chicago firms , It Is believed , will again eubmlt bids for light ing the city , especially as there is no chance now of the council entertaining any propo sition for municipal ownership of a lighting plant.

The bosses positively refused to enter Into any such agreement and the walkout followed.

The shops are getting along all right with npn-union men and the strike is not hurting us any. Unless the mien who have gone out can secure work In Omaha they will bo In bad ehape. Ono man who has been working steady for fourteen years for one house In this city allowed himself to bo prevailed upon to quit work because the union in Omaha said he had to.
