Ordinance Recently 1'niiscil liy the Council to Ho Enforccil at Once. The "flro escape" ordinance recently passed toy the city council Is to be put In force without further delay and Alderman Atkins , chairman of the committee on flro and light , the father of the measure , and FJP9 Chief Bates are making a tour of In spection of all the buildings In the city that come within Its provisions. The former ordinance provided for the erection of Iron "ladder" flre escapes , but this system Alderman 'Atkins , after making an Inves tigation of the subject , did not believe afforded sufficient protection to the lives of the people. In consequence a new ordinance was passed , which provides for the erection of Iron stairways on the outsldo ot the building with suitable landing places at each floor. The location of the flro escapea will be subject to the suggestion and orders of the flro committee and chief of the flre depart ment , and the owners of the buildings affected must abide by their decision. The ordinance affects a larger number of buildings than at flrst expected and the owners of the following buildings have been notified to comply 'wltli the provisions of the ordinance : Noah building on Broad way , occupied by the Woodward company ; the Baldwin block , the Sapp block , the Everett block oh Pearl street , the Non pareil building , the Merrlam block , the Brown block , the Sanborn block , corner of Bryant and Broadway ; the Burnham & Tulleys .block , Woodman hall building , Odd Fellows' temple , Masonic temple , Beno-Shu- gort block , Marcus ibulldlug , Ogdcn hotel , Kiel hotel , Revere hotel , Neumayer hotel and Grand hotel. In the case of the Grand hotel the ord inance will work considerable hardship. The hotel Is already provided with ampo flro escapes , but they are of the "ladder pat tern" and It will cost several thousand dollars lars to replace them with stairways. The Noumayer hotel Is also provided with ladder flro escapes , but they will have to be re placed with others to conform with the new ordinance. None of the large agricultural buildings will bo affected , as they are not contem plated by the ordinance. The public school buildings , however , will nearly all have to bo provided with escapes. The schools where eacapea will have to bo erected are as follows ; High school , Washington avenue , Bloomer , Twentieth avenue , Eighth street , Pierce street , Avenue B , Second avenue , Third street , Eighth avenue. Under the provisions of the ordinance some of the schools will have to have from three to seven escapes. ThU will mean a large out lay for the district and will require the ex- pendttura of several thousand dollars. Alderman Atkins stated yesterday that while It was the Intention to enforce the ordinance to the very letter , all reasonable tlmo would be given the owners of buildings to comply with its provisions. A number of representatives of flre escape flrms are in the city looking for business. Kiinernl of O. K. Ilutioouk.

The city council at Its adjourned meeting last night tailed to take Any action in re gard to the blda for the erection of a munic ipal clectrlo light plant , but laid tha matter over to Saturday night , when a meeting of the will bo held commlttce-of-the-wholo to consider the matter. Electrician Lovctt submitted hU tabulation of the bids , but was unable to make any report , as. . he needed further light on eomo points from the different bidders as to the meaning of their propositions. As nil the bids were practically based on different propositions , the tabulation offered but llttlo light on the subject and gave the council but slight foundation on which to make a selection. For the construction of a plant the bid of the Municipal Construction company of Chicago on the surface appears to be some what lower than any ot the other bids , ex cepting the proposition of the local company. The objection raised , however , to the prop osition of the Chicago concern is that the city will have to bind itself to pay $70 per light tor fifteen years and in addition grant the company a franchise for commer cial lighting for a term of twcnty-flvo years. Thus , in case the city should fall to pay the running expenses of the plant out ot commercial lighting and bo forced to turn the plant back to the company , the city would bo bound for fifteen ycara to pay $70 per annum per lamp , whllo the conditions In a few years might be such that the lights could bo produced for a less sum. Then again , the company would bo In possession of a valuable franchise without having given any consideration for it and the city would ba the loser of whatever money It had paid in on the plant. Mayor Jennings and certain members of the council are strongly opposed to this proposition on these grounds. Mayor Jennings .expressed himself yesterday as being In favor of accepting the 'bid ' of the local company for a sliding soalo for five years and then If the city was In a financial condition to assume munic ipal ownership it then could do so. With the finances of the city in their present en tangled condition , the mayor said , ho was of the opinion that it would be very poor policy to assume such an obligation as the cost of on electric lighting plant. Business men asked as to their views on the matter all expressed themselves as directly opposed to the proposition of the city granting any concern ft twenty-five year franchise under such terms. The two resolutions providing for the re- tundlng of the outstanding warrants on the water and general funds were adopted , Alderman Sayles alone voting against them. In explanation of his vote Sayles stated that do considered the rate of Interest too hlgto and believed that they could be disposed of at a lower rate. The bonds call for 4 % per cent and Alderman Saylea believes they could bo floated for 4 per cent. When the resolutions were brought up their adoption was moved by Casper , seconded ended by Shubert. Alderman Atkins said lie understood that other resolutlons'-'wero ' to bo introduced for the Issuance ot the bonds at 4 per cent. Cashier Hannan of the First National bank was called upon by Atkins , but be said he had no proposition to offer , as he had not been given sufficient time. Head ) ad tried to see the city treasurer , but as ho was out of the city he had failed. He under stood that the contract for the disposal of the bonds hod already been made and there fore he did not see that ho could do any thing. He considered that bo had not been fairly treated. Casper denied that any contract had been entered Into with anybody nnd the resolu- ; ion was simply an order to the treasurer to exchange the bonds for the outstanding warrants as they were presented to him. tn spite of Casper's denial It Is on open secret hat an arrangement has been entered be- , ween the city and parties In Cedar Rapids ! or the floating of the bonds and ithat In order to effect a compromise nnd put nn end : o the existing litigation It was necessary o Issue Uie bonds at 4V4 per cent interest nstead of 4 per cent. That this was the case was not denied by the officials of the city yesterday. The contract for furnishing the city with lard coal ws ; awarded to the Carbon Coal company on Its bid of $7.70 and that for soft coal was awarded to Fenlon & Foley on : helr bid of $3.13 for Ardmoro screened ; ump.

About cigh- tcen-months ago I was a total wreck , physically. I had been troubled with leucorrhamforsome time , buthad given hardly any attention to the trouble. " At last inflammation of the womb and ovaries resulted and then I suf fered agonies , had to give up my pro fession ( musician and piano player ) , was confined to ray bed and life' became a terrible cross. My husband sum moned the best physicians , but their benefit was but temporary at best. I believe I should have contracted the morphine habit under their care , if my common sense had not intervened. "One day my husband noticed the ad vertisement of your remedies and im mediately bought me a full trial. Soon the pain in my ovaries was gone. I am now well , strong and robust , walk , ride a wheel , and feel like a girl in her teens. I would not bo without Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound ; it is like water of life to me. I am very gratefully and sincerely your well- wisher , and I heartily recommend your remedies. I hope some poor creature may be helped to health by reading my story. " WKS. Coi > . E.
