Two echoes cf the collapse of some of the
inflated additions of boom days were received
at the omce of the county recorder yesterday ,
one from Michigan and the other from Ohio.
Several years ego , when the real estate
craze was at its height , an enterprising fakir
secured control of a couple of hundred acres
of sand bar in the Missouri river , several
miles below Lake Manawa , and platted it
as Lafayette l'ark additionto Council Bluffs.
The picture of the addition showed Vashing.

other streets named after streets in this
city. The reading matter described ( ho city
streets , and outside purchasers caine iii and
were guhled nicely. There has been a lull
in tlio btisines for some time , but tlio two
reports that were receiyed yesterday indicate
thnt the victints of the swindle have not all
iteen heard from ,
If. Oraland of Detroit wrote to ask the
recorder to know what the cost of fIling
deeds would be , and confided the informs-
thou that he possessed five lots in Lafayette
Park addition. The other letter canto from
\v. 11. fleets of Columbus , 0. Mr. Reefs has
apparently been an easy mark , and hn hot
yet discovered the extent to which lie has
been duped. Ho wrOte that he is the owner
of forty well located lots in the beautiful
Lafayette Park addition , and would be very
grateful if the recorder would give the name
of some man in Council Bluffs who would
like to loan money , with the hots as secur-
it ) ' . Recorder Shephert did not have the
heart to undeceive Mr. Reefs , and so left his
letter unanswered ,

City Iltigilteer hInnI'Inns for 1)eepen-
Ifltg the Clastiinel Coinpietcil.
Present iflllCttiOfls are that there alit be
a small army of men ready to report for
work on the Indian creek cxcavatioi when
the time arrives for beginning work.
About half of the time of City Engineer
Testevin is now taken up answering inquiries
from men anxIous to get a chance to do
a few days work for the city. The work
will be commenced on Monday morning -
ing at 7 o'clock at the south line
of section 10 , near the river.
'Tim shovelers will then work up the creek
a distance of two and one-half miles.
The city engineer and Ida men have done
a prodigious amount of work within the last
few days. , The levels have been run and
the entire dishince from Nineteenth avenue
to the end of the proposcl excavation has
been cross-sectioned Into 2O.fodt sections.
Estimates of the amount of earthi 'to be removed -
moved have pot boon completed , but will be
before the work Is commenced.
Tlte plpn the engineer will follow is to
simply deepen and clear tii channel of the
creek from Nineteenth avenue. At this
point the present flow of time creek is 13.64
feet above the plane of reference , which In
the low water mark In the river. A die.
tanco of 14,000 feet from this point , which
is the limit of the excavation , the level is
6.92. When time channel is deepened this
will glvo a fall of 2.4 feet per mile. At
the mouth of time creek there is but little
excavation required only what may be expected -
pected to be done at the first good hard
spring rain' The greatest excavation will
be at the upper cmd of 'time work , where
a depth of thirty inches of soIl will be removed -
moved , This will only be sumclent to
put the flow line below the bottom of the
principal sewer outlets.
The earth taken out of tIme bottom and
ldos of the channel vili be thrown along
the banks of the cree1 to form a permanent
levee. The work of the same nature that
, wae done sovcral years ago raised a levee
from Broadway for a long distance south
and was the means of preventing disastrous
overflows of the creek in times of hood.
The work to be done this time will be worth
about all it costs for the same reason. Confining -
fining the current to a smooth narrow bed
will greatly' increase the velocity of the
stream and tedl to keep the bottom scoured
out and clean.
It is the intention of tbp city to give all
time workingmen needing work a chance ,
and there will perhaps be several hundred
strung along 'the two muse and over the
creek channel , A large number of teams
will be usedbut a still greater number of men
with rubber boots and long handled shovels
will find employment.
If it Wore possible to tend 'the current off
the work could be done much more rapdly !
and cheaply. This was done five years ago ,
and some heavy jam storms happened along
just at the right time and flooded a large
portion of the country lying south and west
In Railroad addition. A great outcry was
raised , and owners of flooded property
threatened damage suits against the city ,
but they withdrew their complaints when
the waters subsided. It 'was ' found that a
large tract of how lands bad been filled by
time wash from tim hills. In some low
places time fill was over ten feet , and as it
would coat about 35 cents a yard to have
hauled the dirt there time owners were sat-
isflcd. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

annual report to the floard of health yes.
tcm'tlay morning. It was unusually full and
replete with statistIcs. Time most Interesting -
ing portion of it relates to the city's health
and things contributing to endanger it. Dr.
Treyrmor rays :
S.tn han been heretofore ilone the cause of

terms emsed by some physicians in mnnkifl

as "dropey " "heart fnIlure. ' "Jaundice , '
"childbirtht' "change of life , " etc. , are
meaningless and convey no true Idea as to
the entire of ilcath , nod certificates defective
in this respect are worthless and hoiild not
be accepted by the city clerk. lThyslclane
making such retmmrne are either careless or
ignorant and should be cnhlel strictly to
account.
The condition of our streets , sewers and
publIc buildings , mere especially tima city
Jail antI Indian creek , are a disgrace to the
city and a constnnt menace to time itCalth of
ths eolmitntmflity ,
The city jail should be thoroughly overhauled -
hauled amid modernized. This matter was
thoroughly gone lmmto in time report of my
Inumiediato predecessor. arid I wish to en-
( loree and reiterate the reconimendatione
mtmmmile by him. Indian creek should not be
used as the repository for the carcasses of
nil the animals and fowls in its vicinity ,
Thecity , ordinance governing tIme depositIng
of g'arbage in this creek should be strictly
enforced ,
Our methods of garbage collection are not
at all sanitary or In accord with the present
scientific methods of disposal of the same ,
No garbage should be collected in tIme day
time or hauled over the principal streets.
Open wagons for garbage collection should
ho positively prohibited , nnd none mired except -
cept thosc specially constructed for ttmi
ptmrpose. It was a common incident last
summer to sco wagoims containing tmncov-
ered barrels reeking with tutu standing
on or being driven over our moat prominent
streets at all Imoure of the mlny , droppin
their filth and leaving' an odorous trai
In answering aim inquiry from the president
of the garbage cohiection and disposal or-
ganizatiomi In New York some weelce SInce ,
I wa ashamed to be compelled to informn
him timat we had no systematic methods of
collection and disposal of garbage in this
city.
In time matter of quarantine and disin-
fecttomm in contagious diseases. I believe that
the rules governing tIme same. as laid down
by time Board of health , should be rigidly
adhered to. and that violators of these rules ,
whether they be physicians or the public In
general , should be ptinished to time full cx-
tent of the law ,
Last winter , owing .ta the failure to report -
port contagious ( iirenses and mliregard of
the rule proimibiting tim imolding of public
funerals where death hn been due to con-
tagiotis diseases , we were threataned with an
epidemIc of diphtheria , which neccsitated
time temporary closing of about twenty
rooms In the city schools. These rooms
were closed from three to ten days amid
were thoroughly disinfected in the manner
prescribed by the Hoard of Health. In
doing this the board met with much op.
position from a certain class of citizens , but
I am satisfied that had it not been for the
prompt measures adopted by the health
officers at that time we should have had a
serious epidemic.
Notwithstanding the vigiianqe ot the
board. the death rate front contagious
diseases was quito large. From diphtheria
and membranoims croup 27' front scarlet
ever , 7 from typhoid fever , L The greatest
numbs of deaths in one month from one
cause In the last yearoccurred in the month
of July , seventeen deaths from cholera In-
fantum being recorded in that month , Had
the sanitary condition of our city been what
it should have been the death rate from
this cause would have been much Ies ,

incorporation flied ( org company with a
capital stock of $100,000 anc an additional
dollar for every additional thousand dollars
of capital stock. Recorder Shepard was not
certain whether time law had gone into ef-
feet yet , but he spoke to Mr. Carmichael
about it. Carmichael had for filing the ar-
tides of Incorporation of the Mercur Gold
Production company , with a capItal stock
of $1,600,000. He left the articles and via-
ited a lawyer and found that the law in
question had gone into effect yesterday and
that the filing of his articles of incorporation -
tion would cost a lIttle matter of $1,600.
Ho decIded that the company would prosper
