Ordinance Boidr for Introduction Provid
ing for Plumbing Inspector.
PROPOSE TO MAKE IT SELF-SUPPORTING
Fees to Be Charged for Permits aad
Also for laspectloa oi All New
Work lastalled la
the City.
Ths master plumbers or Council Bluffs
will ask the city council to create the office
of plumbing Inspector and expect to submit
at the next meeting- of that body an ordi
nance providing for ths appointment of
such an official and the inspection of all
plumbing work within the city.
The ordinance has already been drafted
nnd copies have been submitted to the
mayor and some of the aldermen. It Is
understood that such city officials as have
considered the matter are In favor of com
plying with the wishes of the plumbers.
ihe appointment of a plumbing Inspector,
as provided for In ths proposed ordinance
would not bo a direct expense to the city,
as his compensation Is to be derived from
fees, the scale of which Is considerably
lower than that prevailing In other cities.
The ordinance as now drafted Is entitled,
"An ordinance regulating the practice of
plumbing, gasflttlng and drain laying In the
city of Council Bluffs, and providing for the
Inspection of the same, and authorizing
the collection of fees."
The term plumbing shall mean and refer
to all pipes,' fixture and appurtenances
placed In buildings' for sanitary purposes
or for the conveyance, storage or disposal
of water or sewage, and for tha ventilation
of such pipes and fixtures.
The term gas fitting shall mean and refer
to all pipes and fixtures placed In buildings
for the conveyance or storage of gas for
fuel or lighting purp".
The term drain laying shall mean and
refer to all piping used to connect' the
plumbing and rainwater leaders of a build
ing or yard drains with public or private
sewers or cesspools.
One section of ths ordinance provides that
no person, firm or corporation shall engage
In the business of plumbing, gnsflttlng or
drain laying without first obtaining a per
mit from the city plumbing Inspector and
filing with the city a $1,000 bond. Permits
will have to be obtained for all plumbing,
gtisflttlng, drain laying or excavation out
side the property line. Tinder the present
city ordinances permits only have to be ob
tained when excavations are to be made on
paved streets. The parties making such ex
cavations will be required to keep them In
repair for a period of one year.
The duties of the plumbing Inspector are
designated and the ordinance provides that
the following fees shall be charged:

The annual election of ths Commercial
club will be held today and the polls will
b open from 10 a, in. to I p. m. Ballots
containing the names of the members of ths
club In good standing have been mailed
to each member, who will thus be afforded
an opportunity to select the fifty who are
his choice for the board of directors. The
ballot boxes will be In the rooms of the
Commercial club. The directors will In
turn elect officers and an executive com
mittee. The annual meeting will be called
to order this evening at 8 o'clock by Pres
ident H. H. Van Brunt, st which time
the reports of the different officers will be
! read. A large attendance Is looked for.
It was reported on the streets last night
that a faction among the membership
was opposing the present management of
the club and that A centest over the elec
tion was Imminent. All of the old di
rectors are Said to be candidates for re
election and considerable electioneering In
a quiet way was said to be In progress
last night.
That there was some foundntlon for the
report that there would be a contest at
today's election was evidenced by the fact
that late last evening tickets bearing the
names of the present fifty members of
the Board of Directors made their ap
pearance on ths streets.
Bets Killed by Fall.
The following telegram was received yes
terday evening from Shenandoah, la., by
Undertaker Cutler from a person signing
himself H. O. Williams: "Hold Bntz's body
until called for." Bets or Buts Is supposed
to be the name of the man whose lifeless
body was found Monday morning under the
Union Pacific bridge
A post-mortem examination of the dead
man showed that his death had undoubtedly
resulted frotn the fall from the bridge. The
heart was ruptured In three places, besides
being shifted to the light side, and the liver
was burst and torn. The only exterior in
juries were the fracture of the left arm at
the elhnw and the hmiiMAa nn1 ani-a t.ViA
t ahntit the fnnm mil heSiY
The grip which the dead man checked at
the Burlington depot In Omaha was se
cured by the coroner yesterday, but Its
contents fnlledr to offer any clue to the
identity of the owner. The grip was found
to contain three quart bottles of beer, two
new white handkerchiefs, a soiled blue
handkerchief and a brown workman's cap.
Marks on the suit and overcoat worn by
the dead man show ,that they were pur
chased of the Agnew Cash Clothing com
pany of Creston, la. The suit Is almost
new, while the overcoat appears to have
been worn but little.

Oeorge 8. Wright of tho firm of Wright
& Baldwin, local attorneys for James
Doyle, received word from their client
yesterday to the effect that the suit
against James F. 'Burns would be tried
ns previously arranged, on, March t, and
thai lie and his witnesses, would be here
on time. In his letter Mr. Doyle said
that he had talked with former Governor
Thomas, counsel ,for Burns, In Denver,
and that Mr. Thomas had told him they
expected to try the case on the date ar
ranged and that they did not expect the
appeal taken from Judge Thomell's ruling
overruling the motion to transfer the case
from the law to the equity docket to
postpone the trial.
Mr. Wright stated yesterday he Is con
fident the case would be tried at this
term of district court and said everything
was In readiness for the trial. Mr. Doyle

pected here In a few days, reservation hav
ing been made for them at the Grand ho
tel. Counsel for Burns yesterday filed an ap
plication In district court asking Judge
Thornell to fix the amount of the super
sedeas bond which Burns will be required
to file. The application cites the fact that
II. V. Battey, clerk of the court, had
"absolutely refused and declined to do so."
The matter will, It Is expected, be dis
posed of-by Judge Thornell today.

The trial of Dr. J. F. Walter, which was
begun in the district court Monday after
noon, was brought to a sudden termination
yesterday morning and the defendant dls
chargedv Rleanor Larsen, the young

ful If ths young man will ever be brought

firm from which Ooff stole the pelts. It Is
stated, Is not anxious to prosecute. .
The trial of A. Kaplan, former city sales
man In Omaha and South Omaha for the
wholesale grocery firm of Groneweg A
Schoentgen of this city, was continued

Ed Farrell, ths youth charged with at
tempting to criminally assault the 12-year-old
daugter of Charles Johnson, a farmer
of Garner township, by whom Farrell was
employed, ' was placed on trial yesterday.
Farrell's defense was that he was drunk
at the time and witnesses also testified that
ths young man was not considered mentally
overbrlght. Farrell Is 20 years of age.
The Jury, after being out about three
hours, found Farrell guilty of simple as
sault, thus saving him from a penitentiary
sentence.
