AM , MUST ERECT , FIHE ESCAPES.
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.

OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Qncntlnn of Miinloliint Un'idiiK In 1'nt
Over Till Sntunlny .VlRht.
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

The council then adjourned to Saturday
night.

"You have saved my life , snatched
mo from the brink of the grave almost ,
and I wish to thank you. 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. P. 7
