COUNCIL WILL GO SLOWLY
Conservatives Thinking Twice on
Water Situation.
TWO APPRAISEMENTS NOW MADE
Oae Plain Value of Plant at "even
Ilandrt-d Thousand Dollars
Thought br Home IV ot
Too High.
Conservative members of the city coun
are not enthusiastically disposed to rush
Into condemnation proceedings against the
Council Bluffs city waterworks until bet
ter Informed upon the various phases of
the situation. An appraisement of the
plant was made some years ago by Engi
neer W. A. KK-rstead for fcou.OUO. and a
later one by Engineer A I void for the water
company of 1700,000. U I recognized that
the plant has not iUi. orated In value
since, and that probably the latter figures
would more nearly represent Its true value
t this time.
The present Indebtedness ot the city
would hardly admit of extensions to the
plant, however, much needed, by another
bond Issue, the present bond Issue being
made under a special act ot the legislature
which allows bond Issues to pay for muni
cipal plants.
It Is the opinion of well Informed au
thorities, including; several members of the
council that all costs of the condemnation
proceedings would have to be borne by the
city, which would be a sung sum In the
procurement of expert witnesses, legal as
sistance outside the city solicitor and all
costs for holding the court.
As the matter now stands the council.
while anxious to have the mater settled,
will go alow In the premises until every
point of view Is fully and carefully considered.
Receiver Edward W. Hart, for the wa
ter company, believes that the attitude of
the water company Is misunderstood and
said:
'We have always been willing to meet
the citizens half way In any reasonable
settlement ot the waterworks question. We
at one time offered to appoint an ap
pralser to act 'with one appointed by the
city and set a talr value, on the plant, and
announced to the council that our appraiser
was ready, but nothing was ever done
about It."
Nervy Thief Takes
Harness Off Horse
Bartel & Miller Find Animal Wander
ing Where it Had Seen
Turned Loose. .
The grocery store of Bartel & Miller at
100 West Broadway will bear testimony to
the nerve some thieves have.
About noon a horse belonging to the firm
as one of the delivery outfit was enjoying
its noon luncheon yesterday In the stable.
when some chap slipped Into the stable
and deliberately led the horse out of the
stable, took It up In the weeds about a
block from the store, and divesting It of
the harness, turned the horse loose, hiding
the harness in the weeds, with the evident
Intention of going back after It after dark
or at some other convenient time. The
horse strayed away and a searching party
was sent out, when the animal was found
near the Benton street bridge, surveying
that new structure, but there was no har
ass on the animal.
A search was then Instituted for the har
ness and It was finally found neatly hidden
In the weeds In the rear ot 112 East Broad
way, where It had been planted by the
thief.
STRANGER FAILS IN EFFORT
TO PASS A BOGUS CHECK
Cashier of John Beno Company Is on
Watch and, Saves Firm Soma
Money.
About 4 o clock yesterday afternoon a
Stranger put In an appearance at the John
Beno company's store and wanted to pur
chase a 15 hat. He presented In payment
therefor a check for 152.80, made out on
one of the check forma of the New York
Tailoring company of No. $10 Broadway,
and asked for the change.
. Cashier F. L. Ellis of the Beno store was
a little skeptical about the check and the
numerous endorsements on It which led
him to think that It wasn't straight and he
proceeded to make some inquiries. In the
meanwhile the stranger began to think of
another engagement he had elsewhere
about that time, and he didn't seem to
care about the change anyhow or the
hat either, so he just gently dropped out
of sight. , Efforts to find him were un
availing ajnd ,ho succeeded, In making his
getaway.. ,
It was later learned that the chock blank
had been stolen from the New York Tailor
ing establishment . and waa a clear and
palpable forgery.
The police have been given a good de
scription of the stranger and unless he got
out ot town on one of the early evening
trains his arrest la only a matter ot time.
A stranger answering the description of
the man was observed in the New York
Tailoring establishment early In the after
noon, but just how he happened to get
hold ot one ot the firm's checks Is not
known.
