OBJECTS TO DIGGING DITCH
Attorney General Takes Measures to Restrain
W. A. Smith.
AFRAID HE WILL DRAIN NOBLE'S LAKE
Stair Otndnl Clnlinn the Tloilr of
Wnlcr 1 1'nlillc nomnin nnil
Mnit JVot He Tnm-
pcred With.
Milton R. Remloy , attorney general of
Iowa , commenced suit In the dlotrlct court
yesterday against W. A. Smith to restrain
him from digging a ditch which the attorney
general alleges Is being1 constructed > by
Smith for the purpose of draining Noble
Lake Into the Missouri river.
The suit Is 'brought ' In the name of the
State of Iowa and the attorney general scte
up the contention that Noble lake , which
Is half a mlle 'wide and two miles long ,
situated In Rockford township , In this
county , Is public property nnd Is of the
waters of the state , used largely for the pro
tection of fish by the state and by It Is a
pleasure resort for Its cltlzone. Thn alle
gation is made that Smith Is now engaged
In digging a largo ditch very near the south
ern part of the lake to the Missouri river
with the Intention of draining all the water
from the lake and thus destroy and Injura
the property of the state In the same. It
Is further contended on the part of the etato
that the lake Is a permanent ( body of water
and has existed as such a great length of
time.
Judge Smith , on the showing made ,
granted a temporary Injunction restraining
Smith from proceeding with the digging of
the ditch complained of. Noble's lake Is ono
of the popular finning resorts In this section
nnd considerable Interest Is attached to the
suit. The recent rlso of the Missouri river
caused the water to flow Into the river
nnd moat of the land between the river nnd
the lake Is at present under water , In some
places being four feet deep.
'Smith ' owns a large section of land lying
west and Bouth of the north end of the
lake In this county , 'which ' Is under water.
Ho claims that the ditch which he Is digging
along the wagon road IB not for the purpose
of draining the lake but to draw off the
water from his land. Owing to water backIng -
Ing up from the river the lake has over
flowed beyond the meander line. Part of
the lake crosses the boundary line Into
Harrison county and Smith's friends claim
that the present action of the attorney gen
eral Is Instigated by certain residents on
the Harrison county sldo of the lake , who
wish to see the lake retain Its present elzo
at the expense of the owners of the land on
the south side now under flood. According
to Smith , some 500 or GOO acres of land
since the high water have been flooded and
now apparently form a portion of the lake.

COUXClh KIM..S MAYOR'S VETO ,
Another Unexpected Turn Occur * In
the Union I'm ; I flu IlrlilKC Cnnc.
At a special meeting of the city council
last night Mayor Jennings presented bit
veto of the resolution granting the Union
Pacific Railroad company permission to
erect a new bridge over Indian creek at the
junction of 'Fifth ' and Union avenues. The
veto follows :
To the Honorable Members of the City
Council of the City of Council Bluffs , la.
Gentlemen : Document No. 459 , being a reso
lution granting permission to the Union
Pacific Railroad company to construct a
bridge over Indian Creek at the Junction of
Union avenue nnd Fifth avcnuo in this city ,
wns presented to the councir July 19 , 1S99 ,
and motion made to adopt the same , resultIng -
Ing In n vote of four councllmen , for nnd
thrco against Its adoption. By the provi
sions of said resolution the same was to be
accepted by the railroad company and Im
posed certain duties and obligations to be
performed by the railroad company. In my
judgment said resolution If properly passed
nnd accepted would have constituted n con
tract between , the city and said railroad
company , nnd under the statute would re
quire for Its passage a majority vote of all
the members of the council. There being
eight members nnd only four voting for ho
adoption of said resolution I declared the
same lost. I still hold to this same ruling ,
but as certain doubts have arisen as to
whether said ruling wns In accordance with
law , and as said resolution cannot become
operative without the signature ot tbe
mayor unless such signature Is withhold for
a period of fourteen days after the action
of the council on the same , It is deemed
advisable to return to your honorable body
said resolution without signature and ap
proval for the reason stated above , nnd for
the further reason that I do not approve
of tbe adoption of said resolution as pre
sented to the council because of the fact
that the same provides for a clearance of
fourteen feet south of and parallel with the
north line of Fifth avenue. Instead of ten
feet. For these reasons I deem It advisable
to return said resolution to your honorable
body without my signature or approval.
As soon as the veto message had been read
by the clerk Alderman Sayles objected to the
irregularity of the proceedings as he termed
it. Ho said the call for the meeting had
not been read and ho had received no offi
cial notice of the object for which the spe
cial meeting had been called. Alderman
Brough followed In a like strain and stated
It wus his opinion that the meeting was
not a legal one. Before the two aldermen
had tlmo to finish their complaints Alder
man Casper took their breath away by mov
ing that the resolution as originally Intro
duced 'bo ' passed over the 'mayor's veto. This
move on the part of Casper , who , from the
first , hud toeen the strongest opponent of
the resolution , created no small sensation ,
which was doubly Increased -when Alderman
Chrlstensen seconded Casper's motion. The
motion on their part , however , was but a
scheme to kill the resolution for when the
vote was taken both Casper and Chrlstcnsen
voted against it , as did 'Aldermen Johnson
and Shubert. The only two votes recorded
In favor of the now famous resolution were
those1 of Aldermen Brough nnd Sayles. Im
mediately following the announcement of the
vote a motion to adjourn was carried in
a hurry.
The question has been raised whether
Mayor Jennings' veto Improves the situation
any. The attorneys for the Union Pacific
still hold that the resolution was adopted
at the meeting on July 10 and say that the
railway company Intends to go ahead and
erect the bridge. They contend that under
tbo law itbo mayor can veto a resolution
embodying a contract or any resolution
which would bo Inoperative or 'become In
effective without his signature of approval ,
but In this caeo they claim the resolution
Introduced at tbe meeting of July 10 did
not embody any contract and the mayor's
signature of approval was not necessary to
make it effective. Tbo attorneys for the
Union Pacific holding this view of the mat
ter leaves the situation practically un
changed , notwithstanding mayor's veto
and the failure to pass the resolution over
tils veto. They still contend that the reso
lution was pafsed at the former regular
meeting and that , in pursuance of such adop
tion the company has the perfect right to go
ahead and build Its now bridge whenever it
feels so disposed.
