NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Ihrce-Oent Faro Ordinanoo Reaches Ibe Spot Where Its Predecessor Was Lost , WHAT WILL THE COMMITTEE DO WITH IT Some rent tli t the Ilcmill Will He lutt KcpotUlon of 1'nit i : | ierlencc Otlicra IIopo to Sco It I'unlictl Through. The ordinance reducing the faro on the electric motor line to 3 cents within the cfty limits Is now In the hands of the Judi ciary committee. The city attorney has re ported , after two months'of delay and In vestigation , that the city has the rlpht to rcduco the rates provided they iiro round to bo exorbitant , In spite of the provisions of the charter which have been relied upon by the friends of the motor company. In the company ami In the city council , to keep the rates up. The judiciary committee now consists of Aldermen Smith , Jennings and Gelso. Two of the members of this committee held over from last year. About a year ago un ordinance was referred to the Judiciary pn > ' viding fora regulation of the rates of motor trains. It was kept by the con.mltteo for about twelve months without making a re port. At last , after one life had been sacrl flood and flvo or six people seriously in Jured , another ordinance making the re quired regulations was put up to bo looked nt and , If the people kick iiard enough , to bo passed. It has been on the tapis since Juno ! 1 and sidotni'-kod from time to time. It Is now understood that the case will coino up next on August 7. Aldorimin Smith Is quoted ns saying that . ho docs not Intend to bo used as a club foi forcing the motor company Into a tight place , and It Is to bo presumed that ho was lifting In the capacity of self-appointed pro tector of the motor company when lie as sisted thu other member of the committee In shelving the ordinance for so long. It re mains to bo seen whether the same disposi tion will bo imido of the 9-cciit faro ordi nance. The uoiiplo who are hacking the movement are Just bold enough to assert that if any dilatory tactics are adopted they will see that thu public fully understands tlio state of affairs. DKMAMMNC ltii.liF. Implement Ili'itlor * Auk thut n Ciinstnn Mfliuec It 11 lli'lmivccl. The long standing controversy uotweci some of the big agricultural Implement house on South Mam street and the city cotinci lias roachoa a point where the utgcnt de itiands of the implement dealers canno bo longer ignored. Neither the members o the present council or the eiti/.cns cm nlTord lo have the complaints of these uig nouses ignored , especially since ti agricultural Implement district is to bi further enlarged by the building of sovcra oilier largo buildings and the addition o several more of the largest implement llrm in the world. The complaint is the ctmdl tlon of the paving on the last block of th street. When the street was surfaced for l tu ing the city engineer made an error and got the lower end of the street a foot or moro higher than the bloc ! : above it. This loft Ihe water aland ing on n level with the curbing all along the front of Deere , Wells it Go's , warehouse. Mr. Wells , by his usual spirited protests , succeeded in getting the error partially corrected , but , only par tially , and for the past eight years his com pany has b ion a constant sufferer. Every rain storm has damaged them to the extent of hundreds of dollars , aggregating during the years an amount many times larger than tlio value of the paving. The basement of their entire main building can only bo used nt certain seasons of the year when it is reasonably certain that no rains will occur. At the present time the lower end of the street Is about six inches Higher than the surface of the paving along the front of their building , and every little shower that causes water to flow In the gutters lllls the street to the level of the curbing and there it re mains until it slowly soaks away , under mining the building and making its way into the basement. Mr. Wells was sadly surveying the ava- laiiche of mud yesterday afternoon that thu rain of tlio early morning had carried down , and deposited in front of his building. "Wo were the nlonccr Implement house Kid the street , " said ho to a Hiu reporter , "and if wo had not located here it is doubtful If any of these other big buildings would have been erected. Wo came hero at an early day , asked no bonus or assist ance of any kind from the city , oouglit our grounds , put up our buildings and have paid promptly every kind of tax that has been assessed against us. and yet almost every rciucst | wo have made of the council for necessary and just protection has ucen refused and often ignored. H is dlfllcult to understand why this Is BO and why wo should bo required to suffer the consequences of the gross error of a city engineer who tried the oft- ropcatcd experiment In this city rtof making water run up hill. It would cost but little only n small proportion of the loss wo have been com pelled to stand to take up that one block 111of paving and lower it enough to permit the water to escape. The tlmo has now come , when the city must do somethlmr to give us relief. " It Is quite probable that the earnest pro - test of Mr. Wells will uo taken up by other , large Implement houses anil the city will bo Induced to give the relio'f demanded. firpiit Itcdiictlon In Ccilur l.unilior 1'nco * Our company , having a largo supply of red cedar in their yards in Arkansas , have concluded to greatly rcduco their prices ' on red cedar for the next 00 days.

It is reported hero that Congressman Burrows of Michigan will introduce a resolution into the house as soon as the session is fairly open to investigate tlio present wo'rkings of the pension olllce , with par ticular reference to the legality of cer tain orders which have been made by Secretary Smith and put into execution by Commissioner Lochren. It is under stood that Mr. Burroxvs takes the same view of the action of the com missioner of pensions , in suspending pen sions under tlio act of 1S90 , that General Alger did in an interview in Now York a few days ago. Ho claims that after a soldier has been examined in the legal way and his pension granted , the com missioner has no right to suspend him from the rolls and reduce his pension , or compel him to bo re-examined and go through tlio form of again qualifying to draw a pension. The republicans hope to develop politi cal capital from an investigation of the present democratic policy of dealing with the pensioners , and most of them will support the Burrows resolution. o Fireworks , balloon ascension and par achute jump , Courtlund beach tomorrow night. . iro.v.i.v , cunvu < / > i' J/E.V.
