In order to find out , the committee , consl tlnp ; of Harrow , Drown Urswlck awl City Attorney llarclton , met Saturday nlglit and snoop d down upon the electric light station. They made an examination ot the first clictilt and found It going at the rate of nine and a quarter amperes. They pawed on to the next and found It more than ten The third was eleven and the rest were about themine. . They went bick to the first circuit after finishing the others , nnd It hid jumped up In a few minutes from nine and a quarter to eleven and a In IT. While ths measurements wsre going on one of the men connected with the establishment was wcrklnj ! mound the machinery , and the ell ) attorney. In the meeting jectcrday mornIng - Ing , stated It as h H firm belief that the machinery was i < o adjusted to show an In crease for the tlmo b lng ovti the amount of cm rent usually furUs'tied. Edward P Sclnirlg , electrical engineer from Omaha , made an examination n few nights ago , and his report was also read Ho measured with a voltmeter and ampere meter. The voltage was taken at the ter minals of the lamps , after wilting long enough after the limps wfrc lowered to obtain a rea ling when the arc between the two carbons was longest. The nmpero reid- Ings wcro taken at the switch board at the clec rlc light station The following was the result ot his tests : Lights. Volts. Anip'i. Sixth St. and Foventli nvo -U ! > CO Third at. uml Ninth ave 42 9 TO Twelfth nt. nnil Ninth nve 31 925 Tenth st. nnd Seventh ave . . . 38 9 2r Tenth st. and Second ave. . . . . 4il 10 00 T'lghth st , nnd Hccond nvo 37 1000 Thirteenth pt. nnd Uroadwnj 3S 10 V5 Sixteenth bt. nnd Uromhvny 3fi 10 25 From this result he concluded briefly as follows : "The voltmeter shows all lamps excepting the fifth In the list nro adjusUd too low , nnd have too short arcs to glvo any- where near the light they ought to give. The btindird adopted by ths electrical congress at the World's Columbian exposition for nom inal 2,000-candlo power lamps Is nine and slx- tenrtis amperes nnd forty-eight volts. I rec ommend that the lamps be so adjusted as to consume not less than 450 watts of energy and use rot kss than nine and six-tenths amperes of current on a line with ai differ ence of potential of not less than forty-seven volts at the terminal cf the lamp H Is a well known fact that clear glass globes shut off 1C per edit of the light , so that globes as dirty as those In us ? must shut oft a great deal more. " After talking awhile City Electrician Brad ley was cille < l In and asked If ho could make tests In case 'he ' were provided with the neces sary Instruments. He replied that he could , nnd the Instruments v 111 be purchased soon. A resolution was adopted providing that the electrician should make these tests not less than twice a week ; that each police ollcer should be Instructed to report at the police headquarters all defects In lights on their beats ; that the light company be at once noti fied of such defects , and should b decked for the tlmo Intervening b.twcen the > repoit to the company nnd the receipt of notice from the police ofilcor that the light had been fixed ; that payment be made In the proportion tion of the voltage In each lamp to the volt- ag3 necessary to prcduco a 2,000 candle-power light. At the meeting of the council last evenIng - Ing Qeorgo F. Wright was there In behalf of the Ekctrlc Light company. For a time ho and the councilman discussed very leitnedly how many volts It took to make on ohm , and whether or not amperes were all they were crnclrd up to be. After they had showed what they did not know of the sclencei of electricity , and had diseased ElectrlcUn Schurlg's icport very fully , the report or the commute : of the whole , con taining the provisions above given , was unanimously adopted , Barstow moved that the committee be em powered to obtain prices for testing ap paratus Carried. The committee to which was referred the question cf grading the alley from Plainer to BIconier streets reported favorably. Con curred In. The contract for paving Story street wan let to S. Bolln & Co A transfer ot $1,500 from the police to the g nernl fund , to be usel In taking up gen eral fund warrants , was ordered. The following resolution was unanimously adopted : Whcrai" . It Is the sen ° e of this council that the best Interests of the city nnd the taxpajeis demand that the superior court of this city be aboil'lied nnd the duties of tlie marshal be combined with those of tlip chief of police ; thercfoie , UeFOlved , That the city solicitor be hereby ItiRtiuctcd to co-operate vvitli the represent atives of this cmmtv in tlie senate and lions" of representatives to secure Biich legislation ns will allow the submission of thc'e questions to the voters of this , city nt the coming general city election , that upon favorable consideration thereby raid changes m.iy be made. Ktta P. Chapman registered an objection to paying a grading assessment en Fifteenth avenue , because her property was not on the Htrcet. Referred to judiciary committee. LOSS NOT SO ll.tll ATTUIl AM , . Doorr , WcllH A. Co. Conn- Out of the rii-c In rri-lly Co oil Shape. The loss suffered by the firm of De're , Wells & Co. , In the recent fire , was not so bad as was at first feared , while the amount ot their Insurance waa considerably greater. Beside : ) tlie $65,000 Insurance nl- reidy reported , there was enough to bring the total Insurance up to $120,000 , while the loss Is now estimated at cnly $140,000. This really amounts to a forced sale of the whole establishment , nt about S5 cents on the dollar lar , for spot cash. Of course , there Is come llttlo Inconvenience connected with pust this kind of a sale , but there Is no worrying over powlbly bad debts. Other Implement men , and the Insurance men , quite naturally COM- sld'r the firm very lucky , Mr. Wells the same way. He has engaged five different buildings fcr warehouse purposes , and these an Ecattered all over the city. This In lUelf Is an Inconvenient and expensive thing , but there was no empty building In the city of a fllzo largo enough to accommodate the largo stock that Is usually on hand.

The report of the committee wns that as McGce began Ms term as treasurer under written agreement which provided that he should re ceive no compensation for Ills services the boaid could not now legally make him mi ) allowance. Member Robertson brought up the vexed question of the right ot certain teachers to glv Instruction to other teachers outslilo of schoo hours. This was t'ne question which called the board together fir Its recent star clumber me.tlne. He Introduced the following reso lution , which was unanlmouMy passed as the easiest way out of the difficulty : lltEolveil , That any teachT teaching In the public schools of Council Bluffs mny outside of school houis , give private In- stiuctlon to any other teacher who mnj solicit ruch pilvnte Instruction nnd satin fnctorlly arrange for the same ; a-d bo 1 further Resolved , That no teacher I" r'quhed to enter such cla"S or classes who may not so desire. A proposition for the repainting or repairIng - Ing of blackboards was referred to the com- mltUo on buildings nnd grounds with powei to act. The question of cutting up the room of Miss Baldwin In the High school Into two rooms wns dlacussEd. The principal of t'.ic High school said even If the Increased attend ance In the High bchool at the beginning o ! the second semester of the year should not make- another teacher necessary , the roon would be needed for the teachers already em ployed. The matter was finally left to the chairmen of t'ne committees on teachers and buildings and grounds , with power to act dur ing vacation.
