INSCRIPTION IS MISSING
Disagreement of Library Board Delaji
Work f tie Stone Carrer.
FINISHES OTHER WORK AND WANTS MONEY
Contractors for Building-. Allowed
Farther Estimate of Mine Thou
sand Dollars for Work
Completed.
The members of the Board of Trustees
of the free public library have, after nearly
a year's discussion on the subject, as yet
failed to agree .on the Inscription to be
placed on the cornerstone of th Carnegie
library building. Owing to the difference
of opinion among the members of the board
a to the Inscription the cornerstone was
laid without any lettering on it and It so
remains today. Joseph Dux . of ' Chicago,
who " had' the contract for the carving of
the stone work, la now clamoring for His
pay. which amounts to 1709 and at the
monthly session of the boartl last night the
matter of his claim came up. It transpired
thatv while here working on the building,
Mr. Dux was prepared to carve the lnscrlp
tlon on the cornerstone, but was prevented
from doing so as tho board failed tstome
to any agreement in the matter. Mr. Dux
haa now returned to Chicago and. Insist
that the board pay-hlm fr work.' Some
of the members of the board were of. tho
opinion that av deduction should' be made
from the bill for the cornerstone Inscription,
but -after considerable discussion the bill
was laid over. It developing that the gen
eral contractors, Winchester ,4 Cullen, had
a claim against Mr. Dux which they
wanted settled.
Wine-heater & Cullen were allowed a
further estimate of 19,000 on 'the building,
making a total of $10,000, which they, have
received and leaving a balance of tl&,822
due them on completion of the building,
their contract being $56,822 for the erection
of the library. Fresldent Rohrer' was
authorized to make a requisition on Mr.
Carnegie's financial secretary for $9,700.
A considerable portion of the time of last
night's meeting was consumed In a discus
sion on the question of printing a "finding
list." At the last meeting It had been prac
tically decided to give the contract' for this
to Woodford & Alnsworth, who offered to
do the work for $275. Subsequently they
asked $35 more' and to thla several mem
bers objected, although thla waa still $50
below the next lowest ' bidder.' Trustee
Sleaver, chairman of the book committee,
urged that the matter .be -not delayed
longer and that the contract be given to
Woodford & Alnsworth. "We have been
adding books to our-, shelves for frn years
and even the librarian ' doea not know
where to find them," he said. The mMter.
was finally shelved for another month.

CITY'B COAL II PP1.T IS -lLESTIFt'l
Tro'able vrlth Dealers Is to Get Teams
to Deliver.
Local coal dealers denied yesterday the
report that a fuel famine was imminent In
Council Bluffs If the weather did not mod
erate very soon. While, they admitted that
they were ru.hed with orders they declared
that the supply was sufficient to meet the
demand for both hard and soft coal for
aome time to come. All of the local dealera
have coal on the way, which they expect as
oon as the train begin to move.
A member of one of the larger coal firms
said! yesterday In answer to Inquiries, "The
people of Council Bluffs have no cause to
lie alarmed. There Is plenty-of coal hi the
city and conditions would have to become a
good deal worse than they are now to cause
a fuel famine. The yards are having all
and more than theyoan oonenlently do to
fl'.l orders, wnlch keep pouring In. This,
however. Is not due to the lack of coal, bnt
from the reason tljat;ewery one wants his
coal delivered at once, and the dealers
have-not enotJgh wagons or men to do thls.L
The "rush orders come mainly from persons
who buy thelrv.eoal a ton at a time and eon
senuontir nro not well prov'ded when a cold
snap like this strikes them."
