BLUFFS
RATES NOT SATISFACTORY
City Council PnU in Evening on Independ
ent Telephone Ordinance.
CHANGES IN DOCUMENT ARE NECESSARY
Company Proposes to Increase- Rates
When Somber of Telephones
Passes the Two Thou
sand Mark.
The city council fpent several hours last
night wrestling with the amended franchise
ordinance of the Ind-pendent Telephone
company of Council Bluffs, after It had
spent an hour discussing the measure In
caucus behind closed doors. Several minor
amendments were agreed upon, but no ac
tion was taken on the ordinance as a whole
and another session will be' necessary to
further consider It.
The rates proposed by the company
proved somewhat of a surprise, to the alder
men and it Is expected there will have to be
some amendment In this respect before
the city council win approve of the ordi
nance going before the people.
These are the rates as scheduled In the
ordinance:
Business Telephones Single telephone,
$36 per annum; two-party line, $L'4: three
party line or more not exceeding four, $.H
Kesldence Telephones Single line,
two-party line, 18; three or more party
line, not exceeding; four, $15.
These rates apply only, however, to a
radius of two miles from tne postofflce.
Outside that and within the city limits the
company reserves to Itself the right to
charge 25 cents extra for each mile.
The company further reserves the right
to charge an additional 28 cents a month
for all telephones when the number of tele,,
phones In use exceeds 1,500 and should the
number exceed 2,000 then 25 cents ex"tra for
every 600 over 1,500.
The ordinance was further amended so
as to require the company to comply with
the existing ordinances governing the lay
ing of conduits and stringing of wires.
A number of the directors of the Inde
pendent company were present at the meet
ing. The ordinance was referred to the com
mittee of the whole, which meets Thursday
night.
MBS. LUCAS tU'ITS THE HOSPITAL
President Declines Re-Election and
Ketlres from Board.
"It Is not the hospital work, trying find
perplexing as It Is many times, which has
worn me out. It has been misrepresenta
tion, criticism and censure. These, however,
we will always have with us." So spoke
Mrs. Emma Lucas, who after serving for
eight consecutive years as president and
twelve years on the board of directors, re
linquished her position as head of the
Woman's Christian association in favor of
Mrs. Clem F. Kimball, who was elected to
succeed her at the adjourned annual meet
ing yesterduy afternoon. The other offi
cers elected were: Vice president, Mrs.
Louis Cutler; recording secretary, Mrs.
Mlnta Gaines; corresponding secretary,
Mrs. Zoe Ross; treasurer, Mrs. Mary
Thomas, auditor, Mrs. Sprague; directors,
Mrs. P. DeVpl, Mrs. II. W. Binder, Mrs.
C. G. Saunders. ' . ' '
These physicians were elected to consti
tute the board of hospital directors, which
will have complete control and management
of what heretofore was known as the
Womap's Christian Association hospital,
but which hereafter will be called the Coun
cil Bluffs General hospital: Drs. Donald
Macrae, sr.; Donald Macrae, Jr.; V. L.

homeopaths.
Mrs. Lucas, the retiring president, in her
annual address, asked the members of the
association to extend to the doctors their
hearty co-operation and If this was done
the future of the hospital would be as
sured. "Time will adjust everything prop
erly," she said. The last year, Mrs. Lucas
explained, had not been as prosperous for
the hospital as the two preceding, . The re
ceipts had fallen off over $2,506, the decrease
being due to several causes, one being that
there had been less sickness m the city.
The total receipts, mainly from the hospital,
were 110,068.47, while the disbursements had
been $9,907.63, leaving but the small balance
of S160.M to start the new year with. Mrs.
Lucaa made several suggestions, among the
number being that the association continue
to hold its quarterly, meetings; that the
wives of the ministers of the different
churches still be continued ' as honorary
members and that a change be made In the
uniforms of the hospital nurses so as to
distinguish their respective rank.
The election for president brought' out
two candidates, Mrs. Clem F. Kimball and
Mrs. L. Cutler. The vote stood 31 for Mrs.
Kimball to 2S for Mrs. Cutler. . Mrs.
Qslnes, Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Thomas- were
unanimously re-elected recording secretary,
corresponding secretary and auditor respec
tively. Mrs. O. W. Butts declined a re
election as auditor and Mrs. Sprague was
chosen to fill her plate. . ' -'
There were a number of nominations for
the three places on the board of directors
and after the Informal ballot, Mrs. Lucaa,
Mrs. Phelps, Mrs. Rohrer and Mrs. Kee
line Insisted on withdrawing their , names
and the first ballot resulted In the election
of Mrs. P. DeVol, Mrs. H. W. Binder and
Mrs. C. G. Saunders, the. announcement be
ing received with much applause.
Resolutions, authorizing the board of di
rectors to erect a hospital and empowering
It to purchase the necessary site and re
questing the board of hospital directors to
advise as to plans, etc., were ,adopu-d. A
Tots of thanks to the retiring officers was
also given.
The report of Mrs. Gaines, recording sec
retary, showed that twenty-two new mem
bers had Joined during 190, making the
total membership 204, byt this list, when re
vised, will be cut down considerably by the

EXPLOSION AT THE GAS WORKS
Building; Occupied by the Pumping;
Plant is Wrecked.
One of the buildings of the Citizens Gas
and Electric Light company on Seventh
street and Eleventh avenue was completely
wrecked last evening by an explosion, but,
fortunately, no person was Injured. The
building which was wrecked, was a one
story brick, 60x18 feet, and contained the
machinery used for pumping the gas from
the purifier to tbe gas holder.
The explosion Is supposed to have been
caused by a leak in the gas pipes, but this
Is only speculation. The building was com
pletely demoli-hed, but the machinery It con
tained was not Injured In the least and the
work of generating gas will not be Inter
fered with. The windows and doors of tbe
Other buildings were blown m by tho force
of the explosion. .
James McClelland, the engineer, had Just
completed oiling the machinery In the
wrecked building and slipped Into the
boiler room when the explosion occurred
and was not Injured.
Several years ago a similar explosion oc
curred In the building used for the same
purpose, completely wrecking It .

DRAINAGE
COSVESTIO
MEETS
New Iowa Law Is Subject of Discus
sion of Convention.
AMES. Ia., Jan. 1. (Speclal.)-The sec
ond annual Iowa State Drainage conven
tion was coiled to order Friday evening,
January 13, at the Iowa State college, by
President D. A. Kent. Several hundred of
Iowa's land owners, statesmen, civil engi
neers, supervisors and drainage experts
were In attendance, and a goodly number
were also present from neighboring
states.
The opening address was made by Prof.
C. F. Curtiss, director of the Iowa Experi
ment station. He spoke most Interestingly
of the progress of the drainage linprove
menta In the state during the past year,
but stated that the Keynote of this con
vention would undoubtedly be an effort to
secure aa speedily as possible a test case
which would prove whether pr not tho
present drainage law Is constitutional. The
uncertainty regarding the law Is a great
barrier to the progress of drainage at the
present time
Mr. C. G. Elliott, drainage expert for the
United States Department of Agriculture,
spoke upon "Drainage ClaJms and Equit
able Assessments In Drainage District
work." I
t'Th. V . T T. 1 v .. !
. . i: r .uvvat aioiiisso i,a.w was
discussed at length by Hon. R. M. Wrta-ht
of Fort Dodge, la. In his address Mr.
Wright cited many cases which he be-
Uevts prove that the present law is con
stitutional.
Saturday morning the convention assem
bled for Its final session. Many of the dele
gates spent the greater portion of the pre
ceding night In discussing ways and means
for getting a teet case to the supreme
court as soon as possible. A committee
of-five was appointed to interest the land
owners and county officials in this case.
Prof. A. Marston addressed the conven
tion on "The Importance of Drainage In
Good Roads Construction." .
"Tht, Drainage of Meandered Lake Beds"
was the subject of a comprehensive paper
by Prof. L. E. A libs ugh of the Iowa State
college.
If. J. Ford of Fort Dodge sent a paper
on "The Progress of Drainage Improve
ments During 19"4." There Is now con
templated not less than l.ft1 miles of arti
ficial waterways to furnls-h outlets for
drainage of our low and swampy land,
and to furnish service to drainage districts
comprising no less than l.SA"" arrte of
land, of which not less than JVi.oiXt acres
are practically worthless atthe present
time on account of lack of drainage. This
acreage, If In one body, would be equal
to an ordinary rounty.
Prof. C. J. Zlntheo spoke at length upon
the use of the traction ditcher on various
t:res of soil.
The regular progrsm was concluded by
an address by Prof. W. H. Stevenson,
secretary of the Iowa Drainage associa
tion, on "The Relation of the Soil to
L'nderdralnage."
Hon. F. J. Hartshorn was elected presi
dent for the ensuing year and Prof. W. H.
Stevenson of the Agricultural college was
re-elected secretary-treasurer, and was In
structed to publish the full proctedtnga of
the convention.
