CHAIN GANG PUT TO WORK ON STREETS
So Ponds In Sight to Clean Vb In Caisa
Indian Creek Shonld Asraln Over
flow and Leave Deposit of
Mod on Pavements.
In the event of Indian creek having one
of Its periodical overflows thero would be
absolutely no money In the city treasury
to pay for the cleaning of Broadway and
adjoining streets, which would e covered
with mud and debris from the overflow.
This waa the statement made yesterday
at the city hall by a member of the streets
and alleys committee of the city council.
Thla - atnt'ement Inveatlrnf Inn showed WAS
iSiot exaggerated. 'Although but half of
the fiscal year, which began ork April 1, has
expired, the streets and alleys fund, for
which 28,000 waa appropriated. Is almost ex.
hausted today and there remains but about
enough to pay the salary of the street
commissioner for the remaining six months.
In one single month the books of the city
auditor show that nearly one-fourth of the
entire appropriation was expended by the
streets and alloys committee. -
For several weeks no attempt has been
made to clean the streets and parta of
Broadway are In a deplorabl) condition,
'this being particularly true of the condi
tion of this main thoroughfare Just east
of ' the - NlorthWestern tracks Realising
that something had to be done to put the
streets in a more presentable condition,
Chief of Police Richmond decided to or
ganise a "chain gang" and place the pris
oners in the city Jail at work on the streets
In the business center of the city.
Chain GnnsT Cleans Streets.
Bert Summltt, wfio acted as one of the
special policemen at Courtland Beach the
past summer, was employed to boss the
chain gang and yesterday he started out
with six men who are serving city Jail
sentences. Four of these men were enjoy
ing, a simple diet of bread and water, but
they were assured three good meals If they
worked well. The prospects of a good nioal
proved a strong Inducement and the men
under Officer Summltt worked all day with
a will, with the result that several blocks
on South Main street were cleaned. A a
special reward for thetr good work each
man on the chain gang was given a whole
pie at the midday meal.
To accompany the gang and haul away
the dirt a wagon and team were necessary
and Chief Richmond made application to
the streets nd alleys committee for the
same, but his request was turned down.
Nothing daunted, the chief hired the wagon
and says he will see to It that the same
is paid for out of the streets end alleys
fund and not out of the police fund. "The
chain gang," stated Major Richmond yes
terday, "has come to stay and henceforth
all prisoners in the city Jail will be em
ployed to clean the streets. Any who re
fuse will be given a bread and water diet
and will be balled and chained. When this
becomes known it will undoubtedly have
s tendency to keep tramps away from
Council Bluffs," ,
BMdsje Tnndl Almtrst Gone.
It developed at a specially called meet
ing of the committee of the whole yester
day afternoon that the streets and alleys
fund waa not the only one which waa in a
depleted condition. According to the state
ment bf Alderman Weaver the bridge fund
is nearly out of cash, although only half
of the present fiscal year Is expired and
no further appropriation can be made until
next March. This statement of Chairman
Weaver of the bridge committee was made
in connection with a proposition to con
struct a culvert across Broadway from the
southeast corner of Oak street o Indian
creek.
Broadway is In process of being paved
at this point and It was deemed advisable
to have the culvert put In before the
paving was laid. The culvert Is Intended
to carry the surface water which in times
of heavy rains pours down Oak street from
Pierce onto Broadway, overflowing Into
the creek and damaging the tatter's banks.
The culvert, which It Is estimated will
co.it not to' exceed 2300, will suffice to carry
all this water direct into the creek, and
inus prevent tne overflowing of Broadway
with water and its attendant mud and
debris. When the suggestion was . made
that this improvement wou'd have to be
paid for out of the bridge and culvert
fund. Alderman Weaver, despite the lum
bago with which he la suffering. Jumped
to his feet and entered a strong protest.
The bridge fund, he said, could not stand
any additional drain on it, as it was al
most entirely exhausted.'
Alderman Gilbert Insisted that the cul
vert was absolutely necessary and at his
request the committee visited the place an!
after Investigating conditions there de
clared In - favor of it. if it can be done
legally the cost of the culvert may be paid
out of the general Improvement fund.
In connection with Oak street, it was also
decided to have tha curb at the southeast
corner rounded In order to give more space
for vehicles to pass between the sidewalk
and the street car tracks.
Gardeners Have n Scheme.
Alderman Younkerman sprang a surprise
upon the committee when he announced
that the truck gardeners of Garner town
ship and other localities adjoining the city
Intended petitioning the city council to
have Vine street between Second and
Bryant streets set aside for their benefit
as a "market street." As far as Alder
man Tounkerman knew, nothing had been
said as yet regarding such a proposition
to the abutting property owners, 'the opin
ion of several of the aldermen present was
that the residents and property owners on
the street, which was purely a residence
one, would strongly object to any such
use being made of Jhe street. This an
nouncement' from Alderman Younkerman
was made In connection with a statement
that Contractor Wlckham was ready to
commence the paving of Vine street and
that Wlckham was anxious that the city
council secure waivers from the Interested
property owners to any and all claims for
damages by reason of the width of the
street being reduced to thirty feet.
Tha question of the city contract with
the Carbon Coal company for coal for tha
Indian creek dredge was brought up by
the announcement of Alderman Wearer
that the supply waa almost exhausted. It
developed that the city is paying no less
than 1419 per ton for tha ooej uaed on the
dredge and that the machines consumes be
tween thre and four tons a dsy. It waa
suggested that the coal might be secured
cheaper elsewhere, but the committee de
rided that tha city must abide by Its con
tract with the Carbon company and the
latter waa ordered to deliver ten tons at
once at tha Twenty-eighth avenue bridge
or thereabouts. This matter will be
brought up again at the meeting- of the
city council next Monday night.

concluded and the case taken Under ad
visement by the court.
A partial hearing was had In the applica
tion of Miss Jeanette Brown to remand
back to the state court her 210,000 personal

The Postofflce department, co-operating
with the state authorities, made d start
today In the direction of putting a stop to
certain forms of business bring done out
of Iowa by companies organized underlie
Iowa law, nominally realty companies and
engaged in handling real estate, but In
fact doing some business of a questionable
nature. W. D. Anderson waa arrested In
Jacksonville, Fla., for engaging In "wild
cat" realty business for a Des Mnlnes com
pany, the Equitable Realty company. The
secretary of the compnny, W. N. Crouch,
a resident of the city. Is In Florida now.
The exact accusations are not made public
but It Is understood that the complaint is
the company is engaged In a questionable
business such as that which Is now for
bidden by the state Jaws. The laat legis
lature pnssed a very stringent law requir
ing that all such investment companies
shall first receive the sanction of the stafe
executive council before they are permitted
to do business. Under this law the council
has recently refused to charter a number
of realty and Investment companies be
cause it appeared that they are open ' to
possibilities of deception. The state offi
cials say thnt they will try to rid the state
of all these objectionable companies and
the Poetoftlce department Is at work along
the same line.
Iowa to Get Bnlldlnga.
Chairman Robinson and Mr. Cownle of
the State Board of Control have gone to
St. Louis to look over the Iowa building
at the exposition and to get an Invoice of
the property which belongs to Iowa, all
of which will be turned over to the Board
of Control at the close of the exposition
to be disposed of as the commission sees
fit. It was planned that the Iowa building
would be removed to Iowa and go to some
one of the state Institutions, but the con
struction was such that this Is impossible
and the board believes it will be best to
sell the building and bring home only the
portable material of the Iowa exhibit at
St. Louis.
