CULVERT TO TAKE PLACE OF BRIDGES Alderritnu Johimison hins Taken U , the Msstt'r nmiil llot's Ia Secure Vii- ornhle Aol on II is l'hitti l1eiitminlly. The agitation renewed by property owners on Mynster street , through Alderman Johnson - son of the Second ward , to have the east end of ( lint street connected with North Main street by a bridge over Indian creek has had the effect of reviving the much mooted question - tion of the advisability of doing away with the two bridges on North Main and Bryant streets and in their place building a big culvert , There arc many things In favor of the culvert anti the matter is being much discussed these days by some of the council. men who favor the vrcposition , The chief obstacle in tIle way of the building of the culvert is tile exepnse which some of the city fathers do not feel like incurring at a time when the city strong box is not over- haden with wealth and when strict economy along all lines should 4c the order of the day. Mynster street at its east end has no onUct , running as It does at present into the creek and the block between Scott and Main streets Is in consequence practically valueless for residence purposes. The property - erty owners arc now renewing their agitation - tion to have the city build a bridge at the eastern terminal of the street across the creek that would connect with North Main street Just outh of tiio bridge connecting Main Street with Washington avenue , Such a bridge na would be required would it. is estimated cost between $4,000 and $5,000. By building a culvert the necessity of this bridge would be obviated and the two brldgea at Main anti Bryant streets could be done away with or removed to sonic other point over the creek where they may be needed The culvert necessary to carry the water that pasesa through the creek after a heavy rain would have to be at least sixteen - teen feet in diameter anti would have to commence at a point about twenty-five feet east of the Bryant street bridge , terminating at a point about 100 feet west of the Main street. or at the intersection of Mynster Street and the creek. Such a culvert it is roughly estimated Wotild cost in the neighborhood - borhood of from $12,000 to $15,000. One advantage of the culvert proposition Is that the city , which owns property bordering on the creek at the Junction between Main and Bryant streets will gain considerable land thereby. On this property Itescuc Engine hiotio is situated and the creek has for years been steadily undermining the south bank on which time building rests , and although it is propped up on piling , a heavy hood might at any time do much damage to it. The building of tile culvert would protect the engine house and give the building protection - tion and support on the south side. It is also conceded that the building of the culvert - vert and the doing away with the two present - ent bridges would vastly improve the appearance - pearance of that locality. Vould lieu. 110115' IliduNtry. Councilmen who favor tbeculvert , propost- tion say all the snaCerial could be secured right at 'home here from the local brickyards - yards and that it could be paid for part out of the gcnort sewer fund and part out of the bridge fund levy , In the year 1882 a culvert over the creek was built at the foot of Ilryant street , but the mortar In the bricks was hardly dry before the creek got on one of its frequent rampages and the culvert , being unable to withstand the rush of waters , was demol- ished. The fault was that the culvert was too small and also that no wing walls had been built at the east end to prevent the water getting in hack of the masonry. fly having the culvert sixteen feet in diameter and 'with the proper wing walls at the east end City Engineer Etnyre is of the opinion that all danger of the culvert collapsing on tiio occasion of a flood would be obviated. The culvert built in 1882 cost the city in the neighborhood of $10,000. One great argument - mont in favor of the culvert is that the city will gain 125 feet of property fronting on Bryant streeb and sixty-five feet fronting on Main which at present Is absorbed by the creek. - As Alderman Johnson says he is determined - mined to 'have tile matter of the Mynst r street bridge agitated until the wishes of the property owners are complied with , it is Possible that the question of the building - ing of the culvert may como up before the city council for action in the near future , Try Moore's death to lice and mites. hMPf.E3IENT VIILM JWSISTS TAXIOS. Rock Island 1'los' Company ObJects * 0 SIte Local Assessi.ent. A suit , the outcome of which will be watched with interest by implement firms having branch houses in this city. was corn- menced in the district court yesterday by time Reel : Island Plow company against William Arnd , treasurer of Pottawattamie county , The suit i. to restrain him from collecting the taxes assessed for the years 1895 and 1898 on the personal property of thin company in this city and the plaintiff also aelca that at the final hearing the tax be declared Illegal and void , The question involved is that of the right of the county and city to levy taxes on goods which the company claims are in transit. In its petition the Rock Island Plow company sets up that it is an Illinois concern - cern ; that for the purpose of facilitating transfers la shipments of goods to its yari- ous purchasers in western Iowa anti Ne- brashma a crtaiu lrnrtton of its manufactured products are stored in warerooms in this city , The company alleges that the goods stored are not for aa3e , but are held subject to orders for transfers nnd shipments from time company's traveling men , all of which orders arc soot direct to the general oflice in Rock Island , Ill , Further , us a rason that these goods should not be assessed , time company aesert8 that the goods stored here I form a part of the general aisots of the corn- I pmlny within the state of Illinois anti have already been subjected to taxation in that state and that that being the case the goods are exempt from taxation in Iowa , as time latter taxation would be double , without authority in law and Inequitable , A year or so ago the Aultmau-Mfller corn- pany brought a similar action here against the county treasurer which was beard before - fore Judge Maey of time district court. In that case time court decided in flcyor of tIme Aultman-M 111cr conmpaoy and declared the taxes assessed on the personal property of the company for the years 1895 , 1896 and 1897 illegal , The county gave notice of up. peal from the decision , but it has not yet been taken up in tile supreme court , The same questions were involved , practically , as in the suit commemmced by the flock Island commipany , II.
