The deal whereby the stockholders of tho
Omaha & Council llluffs Railway & Ilrldgo
company, through O. W. Wattles of Omaha,
nccuro tho Omaha, Council Uluffs & Sub
urban railway was finally consummated
about 5 o'clock yesterday morning, after tho
partita Interested bad held nn all-night
meeting In tho ofllccs of tho suburban com
pany In thla city.
Oeorgo Townsend and W. S. Reed, for
merly president nnd secretary of the Su
burban company, having disposed of their en
tire holdings to Mr. Wattles, retired from
the company nnd their places were taken by
Mr. Wattles and W. S. Cox of Omaha, who
Is understood to represent the Intercuts of
Guy C. Ilarton and Frank P. Murphy, pres
ident of tho Omaha Street Railway company.
Ilcfore ndjournlng yesterday morning tho
directors of the Suburban company present
at the midnight meeting elected O. W. Wat
tles president, und W. S. Cox sccretury.
While exact figures nre not obtainable, ono
of tho persons directly Interested In tho
deal said that the purchaoc of the Suburban
line, Ircluillng tho resort at Iake Manawn,
had cost tho stockholders of tho old motor
company In the neighborhood of J 100,000.
From another uotlrcc It Is learned that these
llgurcs arc about (50.000 too high.
The directors of tho Suburban company
prior to the snle wcro Oeorgo Townsend, W.
S. Reed, F. Espenschled, A. I). DeLong and
C. R. Hannan. F. Kapenochled retired at
tho tlmo the Suburban company bought the
property of tho East Omaha Street Railway
company. Thus when Messrs. Townsend nnd
Reed retired yesterday morning It left C. R.
Hannan of this city the only remaining
member of tho original board of directors.
Ho sent In his resignation, but says Mr.
WnttloH declined to accept It. When seen
yesterday nftcrnoon Mr. Hnnnan did not
qulto seem to know whero ho was nt, nnd
expressed the opinion that he had been
"bumped" In tho deal, although nt the
samo tlmo ho admitted that all of tho claims
of tho I.r.'to Manawa Railway company, of
which ho had formerly been receiver, hnd
been allowed and the cash paid over to his
bank by Mr. Wattles..
llcullllllllK till- Slllillrlinu.
Following the nll-nlght meeting Mr. Wat
tles called a meeting of the "stockholders"
of the Suburban company at the oillco of
the old motor company at tho power house.
Those present wcro (J. W. Wattles, W. S.
Cox. J. II. Mlllnrd. N. W. Wells, president
of the Omaha & Council llluffs Railway nnd
Ilrldge company; J. J. Ilrown and Oeorgo
F. Wright. W. S. Cox tendered his resig
nation as director and seorctnry nnd Oeorge
F. Wright of this city waB appointed In his
place. J. H. Millard was nlso elected a
director and treasurer of tho now Suburban
company.
Tho matter of fnres wns discussed nnd
Anally referred to a comltlee consisting of
(1. W. Wnttles, president of the Suburban
lino; N. W. Wells, prrnldent of tho old mo
tor company, and W. S. Dlmmock, who was
elected general mnnnger of the Suburban,
It being decided that It would bo more
economical to run the two companies tinder
ono management.
fter this meeting It was stated that tho
Suburban line nnd tb Ilrldge line would
bo run as separate propertied. At the same
tlmo It wns admitted that the stockholders
In both cnmpanlirt were Identically tho
same.
Hardly had the mooting at the old com
pany's ofllco been hrnught to a close bo
foro wagons lined up In front of the First
National bank, where tho nfilres of the
Suburban company were, and all the papers,
ofllce furniture and other offertH of tho
Suburban company were hauled to the of
IIcch of the old motor company nt tho power
house.
Wlint the Company I'ltiures On.
Oeorgo F. Wright, who, in addition to
becoming a dl.ector of the new Suburban
company. Is also Its general attorney und
secretary of the. board of directors, when
seen after the meeting yesterday afternoon,
said: "Yes. tho old company has secured
the Suburban company, hut the two roads
will be run an separate properties, although
under one management, (lenrral Manager
Dlmmock of tho old motor company has
been also nppolntcd general manager of the
Suburban. Tho matter of fixing tho fares
to bo charged will be hettled, I think, in
a day or so. The stockholders In both com-
panli aro now Identically the same. That
Is to say, tho stockholders of the Drldgo
lino have secured tho stock of thu
Suburban."
When asked If the new Suburban company
Intended to operate tho tine to Ka?t Omaha
over the Termlnnl bridge, Mr. Wright said
that ho presumed under Its charter It would
bo compelled to do so. The charter provides
that tho company shall run nt least threo
trains rneh way dally from this city to
Fast Omaha. ,As to tho line on Avenuo C,
ho said It would undoubtedly bo connected
nt Twenty-eighth street with the line of
tho old company on Avenue C und that the
rails laid from that point to the Illinois
Central depot would be taken up nnd used
to replace steel on the old company line
that was worn out.
When usked If there were not negotiations
pending for the ultimate consolidation of
the Omaha Street railway, tho Ilrldgo lino
and tho Suburban road, he said there was,
but that tho nridgo line und the Suburban
would go Into the deul as two separate cor
porations. Should Mr. Hunnan Insist on retiring from
the directorate of the reorganized Suburban
compiiny, It will bo necessary to elect Hwo
other residents of thin state In addition to
Mr. Wright on the board, as the company's
charter provides that three of the directors
must be residents of this state. Mr.
Wright stated that by-laws of the company
allowed for nine directors and that the
hoard would be filled to this number at the
next meeting, the dato of which had not
yet been decided upon.
(iooil Tlilnu for Old Company.
The final outcome of the deal, which has
been pending so long, comes ns no surprise
to tho people of Council llluffs, as for a
week or more past It was generally known
that tho old company had aba or bed the
Suburban nnd that this accounted for the
husto In which the matter of getting the
city council to grant rights on additional
streets to the Suburban company nas rushed
through, As the matter now stands the old
company will lose nothing should the su
preme court afllrm the decision of the dis
trict court, whloli held that its fifty years'
franchlso was null and void. It will now
have the fifty-year franchise of the Subur
ban company to tall back upon, which gives
it the right to use the same streets ns now
operated by It.
Iteeil Will lli'iiinln Here,
W. S. Heed stated last night that while
he has retired from the Suburban company
he Intended to remain In Council llluffs and
tnako this city his home. He and his part
ner, George Townsend, will open offices In
Chicago and this city, nnd be will stay here
to look after western business, while Mr.
Townsend will take charge of tho Chicago
office.
While unwilling to state what price Mr.
WnttJew paid for tho Suburban property Mr.
Reed snld ho turned over stock amounting
to (1 000,000 nnd first mortgage bonds to
tho amount of $GOO,000. It Is known that
$700 worth of revenue stamps wero pur
chased for the transaction, therefore, this
would Imply that $700,000 Is Involved In the
denl In sotno manner or another, although
It is not believed that anything like this
amount of cash wan paid over.
Mr. Reed says that all along, pending
the negotiations, Mr. Wattles enld he did
not In nny way represent the old company
Last December, when Mr. Wattles first sub
mitted a proposition to buy, Mr. Reed re
fused to entertain It, believing At that time
that Mr. Wnttles was acting for the old
company. It wns .during the absence of
himself and Mr. Townsend In St. Louis that
Matthew Slush, who had been taken Into
tho company nnd who had tried to purchase
tho stock of tho old company, agreed to
sell out to Mr. Wattles. Even at this time.
Mr. Reed said, Mr. Wattles Insisted thnt the
Interests ho repreoented were not thoso of
the stockholders of the old motor company.
General Manager Dlmmock stated last
night that the committee to which the mat
ter of fares had been referred had decided
on a straight faro of 10 cents from any point
In Council llluffs to the lake. This fare, he
said, would bo In force tomorrow. Tho mat
ter of tho fare from Omaha will be adjusted
In a few days.

HAS ANOTHCH IIKHI .SCHOOL .SITU.
llonril of IMiientlon AlinudoiiN Clen
tunni' mill 'I'likrn Streel Tract.
Tho Hoard of Kducntlon at Its meeting
Inst night returned to Its first love and
onco more selected the Street tract on Fifth
nvenuo and Blurt street an the location for
tho new High school. This site was se
lected after tho board had first rescinded its
action In choosing tho old High school site,
nn appeal from which action has been taken
by Attorney Chambers. The Street trncl
was the first site selected by the board nfter
the proposition to Issue the bonds for the
purchaso of n slto nnd the erection of a new
High school had carried nt the school elec
tion In March, 1899. Tho site did not meet
with general favor and tho action selecting
It was rescinded and the Oakland avenue
slto chosen. Tho Street tract lins a front
ago on Fifth nvenuo of 216 feet nnd on Illuff
street of 200 feet and can bo secured for
$5,500.
On the board convening, Members Swnlne
nnd Stewart wero nbsent, Stewart putting
In nn appearance after tho site hnd been
selected. Tho matter was brought up with
out any formalities by Member Hcsb, who
moved that tho board rescind Its action In
selecting tho old High school site. Ho was
seconded by Macrae and on being put to
a vote Cooper alone- voted ngnlnst It. Then
Hcfs moved thnt the board proceed to select
another site and this was carried, Cooper
ngain alono voting against It.
On tho Informal ballot, two votes wero
for the Street site, ono for tho Turley prop
erty, at the head of Willow avenue, one for
a site at Avenue D nnd Twonty-th' street
nnd ono for "half way between here and
Chlnn."
The formal ballot gave the Street site
four votes, while the- fifth wns marked
"Thirty-sixth street nnd Nineteenth nve
nue," out on tho prairie. On tho result be
ing announced, Member Macrae suggested
thnt the members pending tho building of
tho school might look nround for other sites,
as they might come In handy later on, ns
this selection would probably bo appealed
from.
A. H. Nicholas submitted tn site proposi
tions to tho board. Tho first offered the
northwest corner of Sixth street and Sixth
avenue, having n frontage on the nvenue of
2R4 feet and on tlio street of 1,16 feet, for
$11,000, or less without the present build
ings. Tho second offered the property on
tho west side of Sixth street between Wil
low and Fifth avenues and Immediately
north of the Catholic church, huvlng a
frontago on the street of 250 feet, for $20,
000, or "possibly less."
After tho slto matter had been disposed
of. Member Hess suggested that tho board
fix the salaries of the superintendent and
principal. In doing so he said that he
thought It only fair to Superintendent Hay
den, who hnd been elected to tho siiperln
tendency at Rock Island, to know what ho
might expect here. Members Sargent,
Cooper and Stewart opposed fixing tho sal
aries at this time and tho board adjourned.
