The Hoard of County Supervisors on con vcnlng In adjourned session yesterday hsard the protests against the vocation of the streets and roads at Lake Manawa as requested by tho motor company nnd ile cldcd. to go over the ground before taking any action In the matter. Tho discussion dcvclofcd a number ot Interesting questions. On behalf of the motor company It was contended that' the dissolution of the Incorporation of Mnnnwa as a town two ycu'rs ago had acted as a vacation of all plotted Btrects except those actually used for travel. It was further contended on behalf of the motor company that none of tho property owners protesting ngalnst tbo vacation of the streets In ques tion would be damaged thereby and It was Insinuated that their only purpose In ob jecting to the varatlon was for tho purpose of compelling the company to uuy incir holdings at their price. On tho side of tho protesting owners It was nrgued that they had purchased tho property now held by them when tho streets were open and on that account had paid a higher price than If there had been no streets. It was argued on their behalf that tho board hud no authority to cut oft from tho public all access to tho lake front. It was brought out In tho discussion that two years ago, when tho Suburban com pany, then ti rlvnl or tho old motor com pany, was contemplating the purchnio of tho hiko resort from the old Lake Manawa Hallway company, the motor company lllcd a petition with tho board of supervisors asking that all the streets and county roads which had been fenced In by the old Lake Manawa Hallway company ho opened up to tho public. Tho protesting property owners wero represented by several attorneys, while the motor company s Arm of legal ndviserB ap peared In its behalf. Tho proposition to comproinlso the Mrs. Ida Llpfcrl claim for 300 nnd tho costs of tho suit now pending in the district court of I'nlon county was referred to County Attorney Klllpaek and Supervisor Ilrnndcs with power to act. An effort will be made to scctiro from Mrs. Llpftrt, who Is now In Germany, a deed to tbc property In Cres- ton. Tho board was Invited by the Woman's Christian association to visit and inspect its hospital, which has Jicen entirely reno vated nnd repainted since tho quarantine was raised. Tho board today will take up tho matter of entering Into a new contract with St. Bernard's hospital for tho care of the county insane patients. Tho former con tract expired January 1. Tbo Sisters of Mercy In chargo of tho Institution havo submitted a proposition for u ten-year con tract, but the attorney general has given it as his opinion that tho board cannot ontcr Into n contract which would bind uny Hucceedlnc board. Tho sisters propose In tho ovoM nt such a con'trnct being entered into . ith them by tho board, to erect n lorgo addition to their present building, which from tho present pians will cost between $G.",000 and $70,000 nnd will be built this summer.

H.MC CIIKDITOItS I'l.OCK I'M) It CASH Prospect or (icttliiK Ooc-IN.urtli of Their .Money Attracts Mnny People Acting ou tho order mado by Judgo Thcr ncll of tho district court Saturday, Hceclvor Murphy commenced yesterday morning pay ing tho dividend of 25 per cent to the cred Itors of Officer & Pusey's bank. As soon us It beenmo known that tho receivers woro ready to pay off tho dividend, creditors commenced to Hock to tjie bank, and there was a string of them ten feet deep In line until Mr. Murphy wns compelled to closo tho doors, about 5 o'clock last evening. In order that ho may havo time to keep tho books and accounts up, Hecolvor Murphy announced yesterday that he would bo com pelled to observo regular banking hours while paying tho dividend, nnd that com mencing today tho doora would be closed at 3 o'clock In tho afternoon. Tho rush of creditors anxious to receive their money commenced shortly after He eclver Murphy's arrival at the bank, but It was not until nftornoon that ho com menced to Ibsuo any checks. This do. w was duo to a misunderstanding on tho pa . of tho receiver ns to Judgo Thornell's or der regarding thoso creditors whose claims had been declared preferred ones. Tho re ceivers having mado n report, giving a list of tho preferred claims to tho court, wero of the opinion, In paying tho dividend to this class of creditors, they should bo paid in tho order listed and not ns tho claim ants happened to drop in for their share. After securing tho advice of tbelr attor neys tho receivers decided that they had formed a wrong opinion, nnd commenced to pay out ns each creditor presented his claim. Tho work of calculating tho amount to bo paid applicants took consldorablo time, as Ileceivcr Murphy had to do nil tho work alono and had no tlmo since tho order wns mndo by tho court Saturday to do p.ny figuring. Ho succeeded, however, In pay ing out $7,000 yesterday afternoon to sev enty creditors. Tho money being on de posit In tho Council Bluffs Savings bank a check In each Instaneo had to bo drawn on that Institution and a receipt taken. This consumed considerable tlmo. At tho time tho receivers Hied their re port, January 3, tho cash In their hands amounted to J179.041.3S. Slnco then col lections made by them have Increased tho amount to $187, OOO. In round numoers tho Indebtedness of tho bank amounts to $G1!), 000, so that tho payment of tho 2."i per cent dividend will consumo $1SI,750. leaving over $31,000 to pay tho preferred claims with. Tho claims which havo been allowed pref erenco by tho court to date amount to a little ovor $28,000. Hecolver Murphy says it will take from two to three weeks to pay tho 25 per cent dividend, as tho depositors entitled to It aro scattered all over tho country.

Little business was transacted at the monthly meeting uf tho city council Inst night, the nldcrmen adjourning In short order to resume the session of the com mittee of the whole, which had occupied the greater part of tho afternoon. The meeting of the committee of tho whole was held behind locked doors. At tho council mooting, after the usual grist of bills had boon allowed, City Treas urer True colled attention to the fact that tho motor company hod deposited with him the check for the cost of tho paving on South Main street and that same hod been cashed by him. In order that n speedy dstrlliution of tho money to tho proporty owners entitled to the tcfund might ho mndo he suggested that the council au thorize the clly engineer to furnish him with n schedule showing the lots nhuttlng tho paving, tho amount due on each nnd tho names of tho owners entitled to tho money deposited by the motor company. Alderman Boycr promptly made n motion that tho matter bo referred to the com mlteo of tho whole, adding significantly that tho committee had under consideration several other matters In tho samo connec tion. The motion prcvulled and the mat ter was not, therefore, discussed. Among the bills for January was ono of $209 for special officers employed as small pox guards. Mayor Jennings stated that tho surplus in tho amount appropriated for tho maintenance of tho police department was exhausted and that If tho smallpox guards wero to be paid from this fund ho would bo forced to dispense villi tho serv ices of the special officers and plnco men from the regular force to act as guards. It was suggested that sufficient bo trans ferred from the police fund to meet this emergency, but tho city solicitor ques tioned tho legality of such a course nnd after somo discussion it was decided to pay the salaries of tho special officers from the contingent fund. Tho nt.polnlmcnt of Thomas Gallagher on the police force to 1)11 tho vnenncy caused by tho resignation of Frank Wnlklngton, by the mayor, was approved and confirmed. Gallagher was formerly track foreman for the motor company. Leonard- Kverctt filed a protest to tho paving assessment on Washington nvenue nnd North Second street, which was Ig nored, ns wero tho protests to tho paving assessment on West Broadway, llled by J. J. Steadman and F. C. Glass. In each case tho council decided the assessment ns originally made should stand. Tho council then adjourned to meet again Monday, February 18. in Compel Track llinintnlK, At n meeting of tho committee of tho whole tho nldcrmen had under discussion tho matter of tho city bringing quo war ranto proceedings against tho motor com pany to compel It to remove Its tracks from South Muln streot, und this accounted for tho council diking no action In regard to City Treusurer Trim's recommendation as to tho money deposited by tho company for the paving on that street. Tho only Information obtainable from tho aldermen was that they had arrived at no conclu sion. It Is known, however, that tho council Is arranging to scctiro tho services of a firm of attorneys to nsslst tho city solicitor In tho prosecution of tho quo warranto proceedings. City Solicitor Wndsworth submitted a form of wnivcr ho had drawn up for tho motor company to sign In order thnt there might bo no delay In tho distribution of tho I paving money, but nt tho Instnnro of Alder men Boycr, Brown and Clark It was laid j on the table. Tho suggestion was mado that tho fact that such a waiver had been prepared bo kept from tho public for tho present. The waiver reads as follows: ! Whereas. Tbo Omaha, CojiicII Illuffs ,t nuournun itauway company lias laid a sec ond track on South Main street between lentil avenue and Sixteenth avenue In the city of Council Bluffs, la.; and Whereas, There Is litigation In the courts as to the right or said railway company to so lay Its said track: and Wherear.

Its check for Jl.uw.40 to pay for tho paving between the rails anil one foot on the out side of said track; and Whereas, Tho city council of tho cltv of Council Bluffs, la., has refused to accept said check and to distribute said money to tho abutting property owners on said por tion of said street; and Whereas, Said railway companv hns withdrawn Its check from the city clerk of said city and has deposited the same In tho city treasury of snld city as by law pro vided, anil the city treasurer of said city lias now cashed said check and has placed the money In the city treasury of said city. Now, therefore, bo It understood and ngreed by and between the Omaha, Council I tin If h & Suburban Hallway company and the city of Council Bluffs, la., thnt tho said city of Council Bluffs, la., through Its treasurer and city council, is hereby au thorized and empowered by tho said railway company to distribute said money among the abutting property owners on snld street and to tho city of Co.incll Bluffs, Ia for In tersection palug on said street, as pro vided by law. and that said distribution ot said money shall In no wise prejudice, tho rights of the city of Council BlufTs, In., or any citizen thereof, to question and havo determined In tho counts the right of tho said Omaha.

It wns suggested that slot machines bo licensed and the sum bo placed nt $. a month. Such a suggestion nt onco brought Mnyor Jennings to his feet with a vigorous protest. Ho Bold, acting on the advice of tho chief of tho police, ho hnd ordered out all slot machines and that un der no circumstances would ho permit them to go back agnln.
