.NtMV I'lltlllK.
On the convening of the new city council
last night Mayor Jennings delivered his
annual nddrens, In which he denned what.
In his opinion, should bo tho policy of that
body for the next twelve months. Ho made
a number of recommendations and gave
some timely advice. He said, In part:
"Gentlemen of tho City Council: A re-
election to tho olllce of mayor Is naturally
gratifying to him upon whom such honor
fulls, and It seems proper at this time to
declare to the citizens of Council Blurts.
regardless of party, my appreciation of
and gratltudn for tho expression of their
continued confldenco given In the recent
election, and In return to pledge on my
part an economical nnd busine3s-llke ad
ministration. Tho experience of the last
two yeurs, while It has not lessened my
seiiso of tho Importance of tho duties con
nected with the olllce, has brought famili
arity with many things which wero now
to mo at tho beginning of my first term,
and if, because of this fact. I may be ablo
to gle any Information or render any as
sistance I shall willingly and gladly do so.
"Under tho operation of our laws an
entire new council haB been chosen, but
I assure you of whatever assistance I may
be able to render, with a proper union of
our efforts we should bo nblo to conserve
tho Interests of our city, advance her pres
tige, promote her growth and avoid any
backward step In tho performance ot the
trust reposed in us.
IteeoninifnilntloiiH noil SiiKKestlons.
"Ono of the first, although perhaps not
tho simplest of tho duties imposed upon
tho mayor, Is to present to tho council at
tho beginnlug ot each year such recom
mendations nnd suggestions ns may be
timely and practical, and I therefore Invito
your attention to tho following matters:"
On tho matter of flnanco Mayor Jennings
said: "The city finances have never to my
knowledge been In better condition than
urn tnrtnv." Ho called attention to
the appropriations for the various depart
ments for the current fiscal year and said:
"Thi mnkes a total amiroprlatlon ot
I67.C00 from the gencrnl fund. Tho esti
mated general fund revenue from tho regu
lar tax levy, which is now up to the
maximum limit. Is $33,000. This leaves a
balance of J3 1,000 to bo made up by police
revenues. We shall, therefore, bo coinpcneu
to denend upon the police revenues for con
siderably moro than one-half the amount
reouired in our goueral runu. mis nccis
snrv reduction of appropriations imposes
upon this council an obligation to exorclao
the strictest economy in every department
nf thi. cltv Government. I bellovo tho ap
proprlatlons nra sufficient, If carefully hus
banded, and unless unforeseen contingencies
occur, to give a fairly satisfactory anu em
dent service: but every unnecessary ex
nendlturo miiBt be dispensed with and no
. .....InnVnl "
source or revuuuu oniiuumu.
In dealing with tho subject of streets
and alleys, which the mayor terms onu ot
the most Important In tho whole field of
municipal administration, ho recommended
i tin nmp economy as demanded In other
ilptiartmcnts. He said:
"It Is Important to consider that our pro
portion of miles of streets and alleys id
large as compared with our population and
nrnnertv valuation, and thd exponso of
caring for them Is thereforo proportionately
heavy. Tho same economy demanded in
all other departments ot city oxpendlturo
Is required here in even greater degree, Tho
growth ot the city demanus tne opening oi
now streets and increases the requirements
upon tho resources of this department. Tho
oi oning and grading ot now streoie, now-
evcr, affords opportunity for tho erection of
now buildings, adds to the city a wealth
and makes taxable property of what was
before of little value."
Nrril of Xmv I'nviiiK
After referring to the recent legislation
amending tho assessment laws, he con
tlnucd:
"Tho need for new paving on a number
of heavily traveled streets is urgent, and
even whero paving Is not so badly needed
It would, I believe, provo a protltabie in
vpainipni to owners of property; It would
certainly bo a great convenience to the gen
oral public and would do much to heautify
tho city.
In recommending vitrified brick as tho
bent paving material, he said ho would llko
to t-ce tried the uso of cement lining in
tho spaces between the brick of the surface
course, which would render the pavement
practically Impervious to moisture and make
It more cleanly and enduring.
Touching on sidewalks he said: "Tho
Importance of tho proper construction
and repair of sidewalks Is often not
appreciated. The comfort and convenience
of all residents of our city, and the liability
ot the city to suits tor excessive damagis
for Injuries duo to the most trifling defec's
nro sufficient reason for tho utmrst caro
In tho construction nnd maintenance of
walks. It Is my belief that tho imo of plank
as u material for sidewalks should be aban
doned as toon ns pcss'ble. even where
streets havo been brought to only temporary
grade, and that all walks should t laid
with brick, natural or artificial stone, cement
or some similar material. In tho construc
tion of sldewnlks on embankments a mistake
has been mails In permitting the construc
tion of embankments of Insufficient width.
The edges of tho walks aro not properly
supported, bricks become loose and work
fiom their places, the walks are iipccdlly
out of repair anil biicniuo u sourco of ex
pense and danger."

Regarding public lighting ho said' "In

the cltv subject to mortgage bonds repre
senting the purchase price of the plant and
which wcro to be paid out of the annual
levy for street lighting, while operating ex
penses were to bo paid from commercial
lighting. The scheme had plausible features,
but tho majority of tho council regarded the
matter n n conservative llRht and refuse!
to entertain any of such propositions, sev
eral of which wero very strongly and skill
fully urged. Tho wisdom of this course was
shown when, a few months ago. tho Iowa
supreme court handed down a decision show
ing that the city could not legally have en
tered Into any such contract ns was pro
ported. "As tho Idea of a municipal plant was
gradually abandoned, nt least lor tho pres
ent, tho council tock up the question of a
lighting contract with a view to securing:
First First-elaM service. Second Tho
lowest posslblo torins. Third An option for
tho purchase of the lighting plant by the city
at Intervals of llvo yeain. Fourth A pro
vision for readjustment of tho prlco for
lighting at stated Intervals during tho life
of tho contract, to conform to the then pre
vailing conditions. Fifth To socuro to pri
vate consumers a reJticcd schedule for com
mercial lighting.

Igard as especially practical and important.

latter provides for a contract which would
bo sufficiently elastic to meet the changing
conditions ot tho future.
'Tho last bids beforo the council for elec
tric lighting wero from throe bidders, viz.:
Ervln Dryer, Thomus Bowman and the
Council Bluffs Oas ami Klectrlo company.
The bid of tho latter was several dollars per
light above those of the other two, which
wcro respectively $69 and $fi0.50 per light per
year. The council accepted the bid of Thomas
Bowman, but haii been prevented from en
tering Into contract with him by injunction
proceedings in tho district court. It is for
you to take this matter up where your pre
decessors hav left It und ns soon ns pos
slblo to conclude some satisfactory pro
vision for future lighting of the city. Not
only will a determination of this question
glvo general relief, but It will affect a very
considerable saving from tho prlcce now
being paid.
"I suggest that any contract which may bo
made with Mr. Bowmnn or any other person
bo so drawn ns not to precludo tho city from
making any desirable experiment with elec

or In other parts where are lights arc not
practicable."

After making recommendations for preser
vation of the health of tho city, Mayor Jen
nings' concluded as follows:
"All matters of any considerable import
ant should be flist carefully considered in
committee before being ncted upon In coun
cil. This Is essential to Intelligent action.
I urge that you make especial efforts to be
prompt In your attendance upon all meetings
of the council or Its various committee.
By such action you will mutually assist each
other more than you, perhaps, may imagine;
nnd no member of such a body as this has
thu right to squander the time of his asso
ciates in waiting his tardy arrival at their
meetings.
"Although It is perhaps inevitable, under
present conditions, that other considerations
shall Inlluenco apiolntmentH of subordinate
city officials, tho highest consideration m
making such appointments should be good
character and efficiency. You will ho ex
pected to select such men to fill these offices
as will reflect credit upon yoursclvcij ami
be an honor to the city.
"You come, gentlemen, from dlfleicnt sec
tions of the city, but I trust that you will
not bring sectional feelings and prejudices
Into your official acts. In the dlschargo of
your duties ward boundaries should bt
obliterated.
"You will be asked to enact measures upon
which your constituents will be divided. In
such cases I advise you to weigh matters
carefully, scrutlnizo Individual interests und
give your verdict honestly and fearlessly
for the good of all concerned. In so doing
you will morlt and receive the approval of
our citizens.
"A majority of you aro opposed to mo
politically, but I trust that good Judgment
will characterize our deliberations, Irre
spective of party. Firm resolution and a
fair degree of harmony, as well as tho
strictest honesty, arc essential to good eitv
government. We are-eervants of the people.
Their will should be our guide. If your
duties aro faithfully performed your labors
will be arduous, for you are expected to
guard tho city's Interests as your own, and
to do whatever may bo necessary for the
welfare of our pepl"

Judge Smith of tho district court handed
down his decision yesterday morning in the
Bult brought by I,ultt Ilandall and other
heirs of tho late Mrs. Sarah J. Ballard
against the Woman's Christian association
of this city, finding for the association.
By a deed dated December 28, 1897, Mrs.
Ballard conveyed to W. H. M. Tusey, In
trust for tho Woman's Christian associa
tion hospital, a Bum of $10,000 In cash and
certain lota in this city. The property con
veyed consisted of tho three lots on Fiist
avenue directly west of tho Grand hotel,
containing Mrs. Ballard's residence and a
small cottage, and two lots in Beers' addi
tion and ono in Kverctt'a addition. Tho
latter property is unimproved.
Mrs. Ballard's heirs brought suit to havo
this conveyance set aside, on the ground
that when made Mrs. Ballard was of un
sound mind nnd was unduly Influence 1 by
friends and offlcers of the association. The
plaintiffs. In their original petition, made
a number of somewhat sensational charges
against tho officers of the association and
against W. H. M. Pusey, alleging fraud
and undue influence. In nn amendment
filed yesterday tho plaintiffs withdrew all
theso charges.
Tho property, which the Woman's Chris
tian association hospital Is now legally de
clared to ho entitled to, Is worth about
$20,000.
On tbii application of the attorneys for
tho Board of Kducatlon, Judge Smith yes
terday modified his recent Injunction In tho
Slack Peterson case, so as not to enjoin
the board from 'voting for tho Oakland
avenuo site, but prdered that the injunction
continue so far as It restrains tho board
from paying for the site or in any way in
curring liability therefor until further
ordered.
Tho suit brought by Peterson & Schoen
Ing ngninst J. N. Cassady and in which the
First National bank of this city Intervened,
Involving about $1,000, and which, It it
had been prosecuted to a successful Issue
would have cast a cloud upon the title to
the Oakland avenue site, was dismissed
yesterday without prejudice.

Bridge & Terminal Hallway company ngalnst

A bill by I.ewiH, mnklng the stniute plain
In providing that tho per diem ot louniy

auditors without the endorsement of boards
of supervisors, Was defeated by the senate
today. It received 21 votes, but lacked tho
necessary constitutional majority. A motion
was filed to roconslder the vote on It. There
has been doubt for some time ns to whether
tho county auditor had the right to Issuo
warrants for this per diem without the
board passing upon the claim. The bill gave
this authority so tho superintendent might
get his pay without waiting for meetings
ot tho board.
