COUNCIL BLUFFS.

CITY COUNCIL'FAILS TO HOLD MEETING

Mutter * to Conic Up ,
The adjourned meeting of the city council
fi'.atcd for last night , at which It was
Intended to open the bids for lighting the
city , failed for want of a quorum. After
waiting over an hour for the requisite num
ber of city fathers to put In an appear-
iinco Mayor Jennings declared the meeting
adjourned until Monday ulght.
The time tfor receiving bids expired at
noon yesterday , when City Clerk Phillips an
nounced ho had received bids from the fol
lowing : Council Bluffs Gas and Electric
company , J. I , Grconshlolds of Council
Bluffs , Ervln Dryer and J , F , Miller
& Co. of Chicago. The last named
bid was received by mall and was not de
livered at the ofllco of the ' city clerk until
a few minutes after noon. This , It Is enld ,
may possibly rnlso the question of whether
the council will have authority to consider
the bid , It not being In the hands of the
city clerk by the time specified In the ad
vertisement. Ervln Dryer of Chicago vas
formerly with the Westlnghouso company ,
but It la understood that ho makes his bid
for himself and not for the company , J.
V , Qr.Bcns lelds Is understood , represent.
Thomaa iJowman , who previously had a bid
oeforo the council.
Among the matters that wore to have coma
up at thp meeting last night wcro the or-
dlnanco granting the La It a Maiiawa and
Manhattan Beach Hallway company the
right to cross certain streets , avcuuia and
alloys and the orjliiaiico giving the Qmalm
Drldgo and Terminal Railway company tha
right to build a switch track connecting
with the Illinois Central railway. The alder
men met as a committee of the whole yes
terday raornlnff and \\ent over the ground
and there will bo no opposition to giving tbo
Terminal company the privilege of building
the switch track , provided the provisions of
the ordinance are compiled with first.
The question of the authority of the city
council to grant the Lake Manawa and Man
hattan Beach Railway company a franchise
had bocn submitted to City Solicitor Wads-
\\orlh for his opinion , which he had prepared
to submit last night , . Ills opinion Is as fol
lows ;
As to the matter at submission of the
question to mo of the right of tha city
council to crant or prohibit the use and
occupancy of the streets , avenues and alleys
within the city limits to railroads and'
street railroads , I bejr leave to report !
Vlrst. That section 707 of the Code of 1S97
Klvci to cities the power to authorize or
forbid the construction of street railways
within the city limits and to dcilno the
motive power 1 * which the cars thereon
shall bo propelled , niul to authorize or for-
Ijld the location , laying down of tracks of

alleys nnd public places and provides thane
no railway tracks can thus be located am
laid down until after the Injury to property
orty abutting on the street , alley or publli
place upon which snld railway Is proposec
to bo .located and laid down has been as
certalned nnd compensated for In the ma v
ner provided with reference to the taklnf
of private property for works of Intcrna
improvement.
This section gives the council completi
nnd absolute authority over locating anc
laying down of street railway or railroac
tracks over street ? , avenues , alleys nnc
public places within the city , except as pro
vlded In Sections 775 and 776 , which are ai
follows :
Section 775 : Regulations ns to Electrh
Wires Cities and townn shall have the
ixjwor to authorize and regulate telegraph
district telegraph , telephone , sticet rail
way and other electric wires , and the poloi
and other supports-thereof , fay general am
uniform regulation , and to provide the man
ner In which and places where the sam <
shall be placed upon , along or under th <
streets , roads , avenues , alleys and publli
places of such city or town , and ma ;
divide the city Into districts for that pur
pope.
Section 776 : Granting1 Franchise ; Qucptloi
Submitted No franchl.se shall be granted
renewed or extended by any city or town
for the use of ItH streets , highways
avenues , alloys or public places for any 01
the purposes named In the preceding sec
tlon , unless a majority of the legal elector :
voting thereon vote In favor of the parno at
n general or special election. ( The re
mainder of the section defines the manner
In which such election shall be held. )
It will bo noticed that the power and air
thorlty of the city council by scctldn 707 is
somewhat abridged nnd the provision of
section 77C , that Is. when franchise IH to be
granted , to regulate telegraph , district
telegraph , telephone , street railway and
other electric wires and the placing of poles
and supports thereof the same shall llrst
lo submitted to the vote of tha electors as
provide In wctlon 770.
It would eeern from the provisions re
ferred to that the city council would have
power and authority to grant a franchise
to a railroad company or to a street railway
company without submitting the same
way to u vote of the electors , provided , however -
over , that In either care snld railroad com
pany or street railway company would not
use electricity as n motive power and con
struct poles upon the streets and alloys for
the purpose of supporting the wires urcd In
BUld motive power.
A literal construction of the statute would
certainly lead to the conclusion and since
section 770 Is reatrlctlvo of tha powers
granted under the general provisions under
section 707 a literal construction of the re
striction Is justified nnd the council would
not bo obliged to submit the question of
granting an ordinance to a railroad com
pany or a street railway company unless
electricity IH contemplated to be used an a
motive power In the. operation of the rail
road or street railway after the eamo IB
constructed under the ordinance ,
