I Wvrt tn, Coandl HluflCa.
With the induction of Mayor Dr. Donald
Macrae, Jr., and the new city council Into
office Inst night Council Bluffs started In
for two years of democratic rule.
Mayor Macrae, after stating that owing
to the Importunities of applicants for po
sitiona on the police force and other city
departments, he had bad but little time to
prepare an address, said In part:
I wish to recommend to the members of
this council that they be most careful in
their selection of sidewalk Inspector. Eight
thousand dollars have been set aside by the
retiring council as the maximum to be ex
pended on streets and alleys. The com
mittee on streets and nlleys must be ex
tremely careful with this small allowance
and be most conservative In Ita use. Five
times this amount Is necessary to keep our
beautifully paved streets clean and In re
pair. Twice this amount could be used to
good advantage In the repair of the atreets
in the Fifth and Sixth wards alone. Some
means must be found to remedy this evil
of dirty streets. It Is neither good for the
eyes, nose or the health.
My greatest ambition as mayor of our
otherwlne beautiful city Is that you co-operate
with me In every way to bring about
a reform in the atreet subject. Every cit
izen between the ages of 8 and 80 should
put his shoulder tn the wheel and do his
share In this direction.
In this connection I also request that you
be moHt careful In the selection of poll tax
collector and Instruct him to make a care
ful canvass of the city and Insist on cash
collections where It Is possible. It Is un
fortunately a habit of many citlxens to ap
point persons totally disqualified to wprk
out their poll tax; men who themselVes
are exempt from manual lubor on account
of Infirmities. Hundreds of dollnra worth
of work are expended in this manner and
practically thrown away which might be
used in the employment of competont work-
The sewage system, along with Indian
creek, deserves the strictest attention by
the committee to be appointed for this pur
pose. It Is my Intention to Instruct the
rhief of tin II re to enforce the regulations
pertaining to the subject of throwing of
refuse Into the bed of the creek.
The light committee Is requested to use
every menns to bring about a better qual
ity of gas.
I would recommend that the fire chief be
required to Inspect the public halls, thea
ters, churches, etc., with a view to pre
venting catnstrophies similar to the Iro
quois Chicago theater disaster. He should
also be required to Inspect the cellars of
all business buildings at least once in three
months. I sm Informed that the accumu
lation of boxes, excelsior, paper, etc.. In
these places Is a great menace to the
safety of property by virtue of the inflam
mable character of such material. ,
At an earlv day I shall call yottf atten
tion to the question of rates for the aup
ply of water to the city and Its inhabitants
by the water works company. Thia Is a
very Important matter to the people of our
cltv and one that must be met and satis
factorily settled at an early date. And to
accomplish this purpose we must take this
matter up In time so that if there can be
no satisfactory adjustment of the rates
to be charged to both the cMy and the pri
vate consumer then this council shall have
Ample time, prior to the expiration of the
clty'a contract for fire hydrants, to take
such measures as will bring about the de
sired result. The democratic members of
the council have upon them a duty to per
nrm in thl reiinert and are bound by the
expressions of their party, endorsed by the
people of this city at the late election,, to
use every effort to secure such results.

SIOVX FALLS, 8. V.. April .(Special )
Wheat seeding Is now In progress In
various psrts of South Dakota, and by
the close ot this week will be general
throughout the agricultural portion of the
state. There seems to be little question
that the acreage devoted to wheat and oats

last year. As a reason for this Intention
to Increase the wheat acreage the farmers
point to the comparatively high price of
the two cereals, and express the opinion
that th war In the east will he of long
duration and perhaps extend to other pow
ers, thus creating a demand for American
wheat. Should this prove to be the case,
raisers of feed, hogs and cattle also ex
pect to be benefited and are preparing to
devote more attention to these branches.
