The agitation concerning u free bridge be
tween Council Bluffs nnd Omaha IB still
causing talk among citizens of the Bluffs side
of the river. At the lusl bonrd of trade
mooting the matter cuinu up , but no decisive
action \vas taken. Thu plan proposed is for
a committee- the Council Bluffs board to
prubcnt the mutter to the Omalm board and
secure- co operation of action.
Many citizens say that n proposition to
build a free bridge would carry in Council
Bluffs II presenteJ to the voters in n piopor
manner , These predictions nro acparuntly
based on the belief thul Council Dluflu
would bo allied on to pay only one-half ot
thecobt of ihoslruciuie. The estimates of
the cost run fiom W5H.OOO to $350,000. These
agitating Iho move say that Iho right of way
could bo leased and some motor or street car
company for u sufllclcnt nnr.i'iil rental to
puy the repairs , woucnnd tear , and u purl of
the interest on the bonds ,
Some of those Interested In the elcotrlo
light , favor the citY-purchaFintr the Broad ,
way bridge. It is Md ( by them that the
Broadway bridge can bo bought lor the cost
of construction. The objection raised by
others ugalnst this scemu 1s that Iho olectrio
line would wunt to reserve the solo right of
way , thus shutting out all competition , so Jar
s notor or street car lines are concerned.
H Is clulmou again that the cleotrlo line
\\ouldbo willing to make u live cent rale be
tween the two cities. It the city would buy
tbo bridge , und lot the company use U freely
as it uses any other portion of a street ,
Such In brief u tlio vuricd tulu hoard In
business circles , boiled dowh and shorn of
the ninny details.
The feeling In fnvor of a free bridge is
( U dently growing , und some formal uutlon
Will doubtless soon bo taken.

Tlio School Hoard Op ese
At an adjourned regular meeting ol the
school bonrd , Hold Monday OVOIIIIIK , the fol
lowing resolution was presented by Mr.
Schocntgon :
Whereas , Tlio Independent district of
Council Bluffs , la. , has noS licrotoforo pro
vided nny compensation ( or Its treasurer ,
but has asked hlin to discharge onorotis nnd
responsible duties without p.iy , and the re
sult Is Iho only rccoinnonso for taking the
ofll co Is a mutter of selecting a favorite bank
as a depository of the funds : nnd ,
Whereas , The taxpayers and people of the
district have an average account of § 3"i,000
to $10,000 on deposit , on which no Interest Is
earned and the prollts of which go not to
the said trrusurer , nor to the district , but
into the private collars of such bank. There
fore , bo It
Hesolved , That the salary of the treasurer
of the Independent school district of Coun
cil Bluffs be , and the tmtno Is hereby fixed at
$ , " 00 per nnnuro.
12. Tlint the treasurer bo nnd is hereby In
structed nnd required to submit at a mooting
to bo specially culled by the president fortho
23d day of tin ) present month at the regular
hour of 8 p. m. , bids from the various banks
of Council Bluffs , showing the rate per-
centum of interest per nniiuni , said banks
nroydllnir to pay on the dally balances of
school funds and to tender with said bid or
bids their bond with sureties for double the
highest amount they are willing to receive
on these terms.
That the bond of said treasurer bo nnd it is
lieroby llxcd In tlio sum of $75,000.
Mr. Schoontgon , in support of tils resolu
tion , said there was not sufllclput Importance
attached to the trcnsui-crshlp by the people
nt large. It seemed that ordinarily the only
( luesliou asked was "What bank does the
candidate for treasurer deposit tul" No at
tention is paid to his qualifications for the
position. "When Mr. Hunter and myself
were candidates the question was frequently
nsitcd 'what bank do they deposit uij1 And
when the learned , the cry was raised
by some , 'don't ' elect , them , they de
posit In Officer & Puspy's bink,1 or such
and such u bank. To forever put a stop tu
that sort of questions I offer this resolution.
It will bring Into our school treasury annu
ally $ -J.r > 00 , or $ .2,000 over and above the
salary of the treasurer. The taxpayer should
receive this benefit. For live long years one
bank bus hud the benefit of this fund equal
to $10,000 in interest nearly enough to build
the proposed new school house in the west
ern part of the pity. I tun in favor of giving
the treasurer n fnir compensation for his
services , but I believe he should bo treasurer
In fact instead of some bank or bankers.
This board is a committee to look after the
interests of the people of the school district ,
and we should disehargo our duties faith
fully. This board is composed of six demo
crats , and we claim to bo reformers , ' and
wu snould make good tills claim by saving
this money to the taxpayers. I submit this
resolution now for your consideration. "
A lonir and oppressive silence followed ,
each member appaienlly wailing for some
one else to break the ice of opposition. Fin
ally Mr. Lawson arose and denied the asser
tion of Mr. Schocntgen that the only issue in
school elections was the question of where
the candidate deposited or which bank ho
favored. Ho said ho was not asked that
question when lip was elected , and he heard
It first when Mr. Schuontgcn was a candi
date. Lawson seemed to bo under the im
pression that Schoontgon's remarks wore di
rected principally to him , and ho therefore
arose to deny the statement. Ho stated that
ho would oppose the adoption of the resolu
tion.
tion..Member
.Member Ulaxslm said ho had never been
spoken to bv any banker concerning where
ho deposited : In fact ho had no money to deposit -
posit , and neither was he under any obliga
tions to the bunker. As to the resolution ,
however , he fulled to state whether lie was
in favor or against its adoption.
Member Huptor said he was taken by sur
prise and was not prepared to vote for such
a resolution at that time. Ho approved the
amount cf the bond required of the treasurer ,
but did not believe the board had the right
to dictate to the treasurer what bank ho
should deposits the school funds in. There
fore ho could not support the resolution , as
he now looked at the matter.
President Stuart didn t believe there was
any provision in the law allowing tlio board
to control the funds after they passed into
the treasurer's hands. Ho believed that tbo
treasurer had a right to do as ho pleased
with the school funds , so long as they were
ready to pay over on demand of the board.
Ho could not favor the resolution , ho said ,
though personally ho belinred it was right ,
nnd that tbo legislature should enact a law
giving school boards the power to place
school funds in such a way as to derive in
terest from thorn , but until such n law was
enacted ho felt ho would have to oppose such
n resolution as had been presented by Mr.
Schoentgen
The matter was then dropped , all seem
ingly being ittixious to get away from tbo
subject with all possible tiaste.
The "reform" idea did not prove infec
tious , ami nouu of tlio board would second
the resolution , The last clause , relating to
the treasurer's bond , was passed , however ,
nnd the bonrd proceeded to elect a treasurer ,
An informal ballot resulted , Keller 3 , Bow
man 1 , Perotfoy 1 , br.hoontgon 1. The formal
ballot gave Pcrecny 4 , Bowman 1 , Keller 1 ,
mid the present treasurer was declared re-
elected. Several ballots for secretary failed
to result in a choice , the candidates bolng
George C. Brown , Emmet Finloy , W. D.

An era of cheaper elcctrlo lighting has
diiwmut up.m Council BlutTs , und tlio effect
will bo fell after the middle ol December , at
which time the present contract with the
Council Bluffs Eloctrlo Light and Power
company expires. As stated in yesterday's
report of the council proceedings of Monday
evening , a contract for lighting the city for
flvo years was awarded to the Sparry Eleo-
tria company , of Chicago , und yesterday
morning tlio mayor and a committee of
council met the representative of that com
pany , Mr. Charles E. Gregory , and their at
torney , George F. Wright , at the city
building , whuro a contract wan drawn up
and signed. This contract provides that the
company ahull furnish severity-live are
lights , of 2,00o candle rawer each , fur $100
per year for each light.
This was the lowest bid received , the
Council Bluffs Gas company offering to furn
ish the sumo light at $10 } ; the iiowly organ
ized Council Bluffs Gin and Electric Light
company ( of Chicago ) , 1126 , while the pres
ent company > vus the highest bidder , $153 , as
compared with the $310 , which they are re
ceiving under the present contract. It will
bo f > qen that the now rates are considerably
loss than half what they now are , which will
bo quite uu item , The contract us 'granted
to the Sperry company duos not provida for
the * 100 rate for the full term of their con
tract for live years , but stipulates tliat it
ibull be f 100 tbo urat year , J'J3 the second ,
803 the third , KM the fourth and $93 the Afth.
The offer of the company wi to continue
this reduction at the same rate if a contract
wns Issued for ten yours , making the prlco
for the tenth year f$2 per light , but the
council preferred to lot a now contract at the
end of flvo yearn.
A few parties were Inclined to do the
usual amount of kicking yesterday , bocmiso
the contract was not awarded to the old
company , which has n largo nnd llnoly
equipped plant hero. The simple reason
why the council did not do It , Is because they
could save $ 'JJ,2oO on the flvo year's contract
by placing It where they did.
Mr. Thomas , ofllcar of the present com-
Enny , was soon yesterday , and naked ns to
is plans.
Said ho : "Wo'shall continue to operate ns
before. It was to bo supposed that the
Sperry folks would boat us , us that is a
nmnufaciuringcompnny and make their own
machinery , while wo have to pay rcg-
lar rates for ours. They hnvo boston
us on the city lighting and wo will hnvo to
meet their prices for lighting stores nnd busi
ness houses. Of course , they can cut the
prices for that so low that wo can not compote
pete with them , which will drive us out of
the market , so far as are lighting is con
cerned , us wo would rather lot our dynamos
stand still than run them ot n loss. Wo will
continue our Incandescent plant , ns the now
compunj will not put In a plant ot this
kind. "
In an Interview with Mr , Grocery , of the
now company' thatgontlomansaid , "Wo will
got to work ns soon as wa can p.ot our mate
rial here , and bo ready to start uu before the
present contract with Urn old company ex
pires. Wa hope to furnish llrst-oluss light ,
und will forfeit $1,000 , if wo do not give a bet
ter Hunt than the city has nt present. All of
our lights will bo 2,000 nominal candle
power. You must understand that all lights
of 2,000 nominal candle power tare not of
2,000 actual candle power , and It requires
very delicate apparatus to lost them , but our
lights will coma nearer to it than these now
used in tlio city.
Wo claim that our Improved automatic ma
chines will give a steadier light with less
nolso than nny make on the market. Our
automatic attachment is on the dynamo , so
that If there Is any change in the power , such
as would bo occasioned by the slipping of u
belt , or in the lamp or upon the circuit , the
lights do not show It , ns the change moves n
regulator that causes the brushes to take up
either moro or less electricity , so ns to keep
the current the same. Wo offer to put n sat
of our machinery In a room with the Thomp
son-Houston , which you hnvo bore , and if
ours does not glvu a bettor , steadier light
with loss noise , less sparkling nt the
brushes , unit docs not run in a moro
satisfactory manner in every way , wo will
forfeit our machinery , and in case the
Thomson-Houston folks fall , we will not nsk
them to forfeit their machinery , so that It
will not cost them anything in case they lose.
Wo would not make this offer unless wo
know Unit we had the host system , * und if
we did not mean to put in a plant hero that
would como up to nil requirements , we
would not offer to nmpcremetor in any pub-
he oftlco or place that the council may desig
nate , so that anyone may see at any time
just what our current Is and how perfectly
our machine ! ) and lights are working.
Wo will put In ono of the finest plants In
west , to cost about $4'J,003 , and wo will
furnish the best and cheapest light that you
tiuvo over had in your city. Incandescent
light ) Yes , sir , we will put in mi incan
descent plant , nnd huvo it ready to operate
as soon as the other. What our rates will bo
I cannot say , as that will depend upon how
long our circuits ore , and how many con
sumers wo can get. Your present rates for
this kind of light , however , are very reason
able , being ono-tlflh of n cent per hour
'
cheaper than in Chicago ; that is , if'ns I un
derstand , your present rate is n cent an hour
for sixteen candle power light.
Of course , your meter system is somownat
different from that. If wo could got enough
subscribers wo could cut rates on incandes
cent lights ; but I would not think that you
could do much betlcr in that resoect. There
is no use talking about incandescent lights
being cheaper than gas at its usual price ,
still there urc those who prefer the electric
light if the price is about the same , and wo
will run u plant us well as furnish power for
electric motors. We will not run our in
candescent plant all day , lor this city would
not pay for doing it. but wo will make provi
sions to run on all dark , cloudy or foggy
days. Wo will give u perfect servicous
nearly as it Is possible to have it"
"Do you put in this plant for the purpose
of organizing a local company to take it oil
your hands ) "
"No sir , not by n long shot. Wo wi'l sell
our plant if any company wants to pay our
price , otherwise not. The last franchise
ranted by your council was to a comnany
which intended to do that very thing. They
failed to organize tnp company , and their
plant was not put in. Our company has
enough capital to carry those plants , und if
outsiders do not want them , members ot the
company will take them in. "
Mr. Gregory was then called away to take
the morning train for the south , but before
going referred to his company's plant , at Ot-
tuuiwa , and also in Chicago , where they
furnish 500 are lights.
The members of the council express thcin-
selues as satisfied witli the contract , and say
that if the now plant is not what the contract
calls for the money will not bo paid , us the
city will not pay for what it does not got.
Iho new company purchases the towers , and
these on Broadway will bo relocated nnd
placed in the residence portion , while the
business streets will bo illuminated with low
lights at the street intersections.

in a peck of of trouble. It is not a case of
let her go Gallagher , but Gallagher lot
her go.
The agent , with the Cclilo patronymic
which has become so fumous In .this broad
land , was appointed agent by President
Cleveland. It appears thai Iho government
desires him removed and is making prepara
tions for such an event.
A custom of the country relating to Indlnn
agencies is this : When the adminis
tration L-ets tired of nn aeont und
wishes to send him homo , It delegates a
special agent to take charge of affairs for a
time and finally sends the new incumbent.
A few days ago Mr. Gallagher was ur-
prlscd by a upociul agent mimed Parker who
interrupted him in the mlds * of issuing u pile
of porterhouse by stating Unit he would com
plete the task. As ho wan armed witli a cre
