High School Site OAKLAND AVHNUK
The bchool election held In this city yester
day resulted In tho republicans and demo
crats dividing honors ej far as members tf
tho Hoard of Kducatlon Is concerned, while
tho republican candidate was elected for
school treasurer by one vote over his oppo
nent. Tho Oakland nvenue site, while It
did not receive a majority over all the voles
east, secured nearly double that cast for
cither of tho two other locutions submitted
to tho electors.
The voto between Sargent, republican, and
Macrae, democrat, for school director wa3
close, Sargent receiving thirty-four morn
than Macrae. Rain, the second candidato
on tho democratic ticket, managed to beat
Shugart. the second candidate on the repub
lican ticket, by sixty-two votes. The con
test for treasurer was i ncck-and-neck raco
and resulted In W. B, Hnverstock, the re
publican candidate, winning out by one voto.
It Is expected that tho defeated democratic
candidate, Ocorgn S. Davis, will demand a
recount of tho ntc.
Tho High nehool slto proposition brought
out a big vote and as has been confidently
expected by Its unnortcrs the Oakland
aventio, location received 1,368 votes, as
against 'Si for the old High school, and SOD
tor tno west or Main street nnd south of
Utoadwav sites. The total vnli run! on thn
High school site propositions was 3,001, only
ninety-live, votes 1cm than were cast on
tho regular ticket ifor school directors.
U. M. Sargent and Dr. Don Macrae, Jr., suc
ceed Jacob Sims, republican, and William
Mooro, democrat, on tho Board of Educa
tion. Thus the political complexion of tho
board will not bo changed. The nr-w board,
will bo composed as follows: Republicans,
Swalno, Hess, Henry, Sargent; democrats,
Cooper. Stewart and Macrae.
Sllf l'roionll Ions I'nrnmonnt.
Whilo an average voto was cast on the
regular tickets, thero appeared to be but
llttlo Interest In tho election of school di
rectors as compared with the slto proposi
tions. From tho moment the, polls opened
at !) o'clock tho adherents of the
sites wero astir and kept "plugging" for
their rcspectlvo locations until thn iat
"ballot was cast and tho polio declared closed
at i o clock p. m.
Tho voters In tho First precinct, -which
comprised tho First ward and contiguous
territory outside, was divided between tho
Oakland avenue site and the old High school
property, tho proposition to locate tho school
wcot of Main street nnd south of Broadway
receiving but ten votes. In tho Second pre
rlnet, which consisted of tho Second ward,
Oakland avenuo received over 600 votes,
whllo tho othsr two sites secured but elghty
nlno between them. In the Third nrwinri
consisting of tho Third ward and First pre
cinct or tho Fourth, tho voto was much di
vided. The First precinct of tha Third ward
pcrplo voted .for Oakland avenue, while tho
Second precinct people divided their ballots
between tho old High school nnd tho west
of Main street nnd outh of Broadway prop
osition. Tho Fourth warders were' for the
south of Broadway site almost to a man.
In tho Fifth precinct the south of Broad
way nnd west of Main street proposition
secured tho largest vote, tho other two
sites receiving but elghty-ono botwecn them.
Tho Fifth precinct, consisting of tho Sixth
ward, was almost equally divided as be
tween Oakland avenuo against the other two
sites, tho first receiving 132, against twenty-eight
for tho old High school nnd nlnety
flvc for the Broadway and Main street nron-
ooltlon. What effect this exnrrlnn nf
tho voters' preference will have on the action
of tho Hoard of Kducatlon In locating tho
High school remains to be seen.
Tho popularity of Dr. Don. Macrae, Jr.,
gained by his devotion to the members of
tho Iowa volunteers in tho Philippines, made
his election nn almost foregone conclu
sion. The summaries by precincts follow:

HES MOINES, March 12 (Special Tele
gram. J One of tho most important pieces
of legislation beforo tho present Iowa legls
latino was enacted by tho scnato today.
It Is a bill pertaining to the question of
municipal Indebtedness and fixes the limit
of such Indebtedness In tho future at l'.i
per cent of tho actual value of property In
cities or towns returned by the labt tax
list.
When tho revenue laws of Iowa were re
vised two years ago It wan provided that
property must bo listed ht its actual cash
value, 25 per cent cf this to ho the taxntlon
basin. Tho constitution says that cltlcj,
towns nnd counties shall not Incur indebted
ncM to exceed 5 per cent of the value of
their property, which is taken to mean the
cash value. Under the old revenue law
this wns 5 per cent of an assessed value,
which, while purporting to bo a ensh value,
averaged about 20 per vent of real value.
Rut with the real cash vuluo secured, as it
Is supposed to he by the new law, the limit
of debt would bo raised to four or flvo times
what it formerly was.
To avoid this thero was put In tho code
section 1306, limiting tho debt to tho aver
age for 1897 and 1S!)S. This wns Intended
as a temporary expedient until tho workings
of tho now rovenuo laws could bo seen.
Towns which aro entitled to Increase their
debt above tho average of 1S97 and 189S,
including Council Hluffs among tho number,
hao been clamoring to get this restriction
removed, so they can make Improvements;
but other towns have feared to have tho
change made lest extravagant councils might
go too far. A bill was Introduced to repeal
section 1.106 nnd leave the matter open, but
tho senato committee on cities nnd towns
reported a substitute for the section fixing
the one nnd one-fourth limit above men
tioned, nnd this passed today. It will un
questionably go through tho house also.
liiUe ii( IIoiimo Hxpensr.
Attorney T. R. Hanley of Tipton, ono of
tho Jokers of Cedar county, caused a laugh
In tho upper body of tho legislature today.
Senator Mofflt, whoso constituent Mr. Han
ley is, In nil seriousness presented a letter
from Mr. Hanley In which tho latter Jocosely
protested ngainst tho passing of tho building
and loan bill beforo tho senate, declaring
that ho hnd $3,000 paid-up building and loan
stock and ho did not know what It would bo
worth if this 1)111 passed. Besides that, he
thought the present legislature rather a
dangerous ono and believed the sooner It ad
journed tho better It would bo for the great
state of Iowa.
Senator Hazclton introduced a bill today
providing for tho use of voting machines In
Iowa. It went to tho commltteo on elections.
Several commltteo reports wero submitted
to the senate this morning. The bill to allow
stato and savings, banks and loan and trust
companies to act' as administrators, similar
to the ono killed" by the house Saturday,
was recommended for Indefinite postpone
ment and tho report adopted.
Tho landlord and tenant bill, over which
the senate lougbt two or three days, and
which was re-rcferred several times, was
reported for Indefinite postponement by tho
Judiciary commltleo and the report adopted.
It is the ono providing for recording farm
loans to protect the innocent purchaser of
grain.
Tho military committee reported favorably
tho bill rovlslng tho military code of Iowa,
which has already passed tho house.
Tho hill for tho establishment of a re
formatory for women at Anamosa was ro
ported by tho appropriations commltteo and
referred to tho Judiciary committee.
Tho bill to legnllzo tho mulct saloon peti
tions In force In tho state slnco 1897 was
mado a special order for Wcdnosday at 10 !
o'clock.
Whether or not It ought to tie a misde
meanor for an attorney to practice law In
Iowa beforo first 'being admitted to tho bar
was discussed by tho senato this morning
and decided in tho negative. Senator Hobart
had a bill making this provision particularly
In tho Interests of suppressing certain offi
cials who pose as legal advisers. It looked
for n whllo as though the measure would
pass, but when Senator Jtinkln made a
strong speech calling attention to the fact
that often attornoys from other states come
Into Iowa to practice nnd must wait some
months beforo being admitted to the bar,
and under this law would havo to forego
practico for some time, It was tabled.
The Des Moines river bill passed tho house.
