Protests oTProparty Owners A < ; aiiiHt
it Conic Ton Into.
The council met yesterday afternoon ns a
comralttco of t.ho whole to consider a number -
bor ol mutters of minor Importance that had
boon referred to it nt tno last mooting. All
the decisions had reference to private Indi
viduals. At. the close of the committee
meeting the council was convened in special
session and the mayor road n nnmbor of
communications ho had recelvod. Among
them was a protest against granting tbo
right-of-way to Iho Council Bluffs Truuslt
company along Oakland avenue. The idea
had been conceived by s > omo of the owners of
property there that perbapa the now company
would want , to run Its trains up a grndo of 10
our cent or moro into Fnlrvicw cemetery , and
the signature of almost every owner had
u < ! on secured.
A Wurman Van Brunt said It was out of the
question for the company to run its trains
there , as the grade was too stoop , and besides
tnoro was no way for the trains to got outo
Oakland nvonuo excepting ever Washington
avenue , which had been cut out of the list of
streets granted to the company.
Mayor Macrae also read a communication
from two property owners on Mynstor streut ,
asking him not to approve the ordinance
already passed Uy the council until they
should have n chance to nrcparo a protest.
Alderman Wo d said the ordinance hod
been tabled for three months and every one
In town know It was being u ted upon by the
council. lie thought It was pretty late for
the cilizons 10 come in with protests after
the ordinance had passed the council and
was now In the hands of the mayor for his
approval.
N. Scliurz , who was ono of the signers of
tbo communication , nroso nnd stated that ho
bad read the papers every day but never saw
anything In them about the ordinance , and
never know such an ordinance was bofora
the council until after It was passed. His
suggestion did not meet with the approval of
the mayor , however , nnd ho had no sooner
loft the council chamber than the sipnuturo
of the mayor was placed upon the ordinance
and the company's franchise was saved.
Attorney A. T. FlicKtngor appeared before
the coui'Cil with reference to a law .suit
which had been commenced ncalnst the city
by Mrs. Mary E. Spoonar to collect damages
In the sum of $ lUv.5.US ! on account of n
change of grade In her property at the cor
ner of Seventh street and Seventh avonuo.
The suit has been pending over slnco Octo
ber , 18SS , and has boon continued from term
to term , neither of the pantos being very
anxious to have It brought to trial. Ho
stated that his client was ready to compro
mise for $1,000 , nnd made that as a proposi
tion to the council. It was referred to tbo
judiciary committee and the city attorney.

Appropriation \\mitml.
The discussion of thn nuoatlon that U to bo
put 'joforo the voters of the city next spring
with reference to tlio erection of a ftiO.000
city hall Is still going on and additions are
bolus constantly made to the ranks of those
who hellovo that $430,000 U too small an
amount to do thu work which will bo ex
pected of It , Konmrkt are Heard dally to
this affect and there Is now no doubt that If
the city council ueglects to suumlt n uronosl-
lion providing for the appropriation of at
least f UV.,000 for a city hall a substantial
kick will bo made by some of the heaviest
property owners in tbo city.
"U U folly , " said ono of them yesterday ,
"to think of putting $00,000 Into a city hall.
That amount would hardly do for the city's
present needs , for fully a third of tno amount
would have to bo uied In purchasing a now
site for the structure , unless wo build on tbo
present slto , and that will meet with n great
deal of objection on the part of the citizens
and taxpayer * . Iut oven granting that wo
could bnl'd ' a largo enough and line enough
bullalnp to satisfy us now whore would wo
bo In ton years 1 Council BIuiTs Is bound to
do some lively growing In the next ten years ,
nnd long before the bonds on our MO.IKKJ hall
wcro paid oft the citizens would bo clamor
ing for the old hall to bo torn down nnd a
new ono built , which would bo n credit to thn
city. I am heartily In favor of giving the
people a chance to vote on an appropriation
of f IftO.IKH ) , and I haven't n doubt that that
amount will ho voted. While wo nro putting
Ut ) n hall we may as well have ono Unit will
last us for llfteen or twenty yonrs as to throw
away half the cost of n good hall In erecting
ono that wonld bo outgrown In a few years. "
