At the meeting of the city council la night thti bid of Thomas Bowman for su plying the city with electric lights for term of five years at JG3.60 per lamp was a copied on condition that ho enter Into n co tract satisfactory to the council. The m tlon to accept Bowman's bid was inodo I Alderman Chrlstensen , seconded by Aide mon Shtibert and Johnson. Alderman Ca per moved as a substitute that the contra bo awarded to the lowest bidder. The vo on the substitute stood two for and ft against , Alderman Motcalf being absent. . \ kins and Casper alone voted for the suhsi lute. The vote on the original motion slo Qvo for and two against. Aldermen Casp and Atkins registering their votes In t negative. A committee consisting of Aldermen Joh son , Atkins and Casper was appointed to a In conjunction with the city solicitor In dral Ing and preparing a contract. The couni will meet again Saturday night , when t committee will submit the contract. It was only after nearly three hours' discussion and wrangling that the above a tlon was taken , although It was known b fore the council met that the five aldorm who voted In favor of Bowman's bid h made up their minds to do so two days nf The first matter to come before the con ell was the ordinance granting the La Manawa & Manhattan Beach Railroad cot pany the right to cross certain streets , a enucs and alleys between Sixteenth aven and the city limits on Its proposed line the lake. The ordinance was up for its thi reading , and Its passage was opposed Johnson , who said that as there was a grc deal of conjecture ns to the motive pow the company Intended to use he was In fay of a'tuendlng the ordinance so as to prohll the company erecting poles or stringing clc trie wires within the city limits. His m tlon to amend the ordinance received no sc end and the measure paosed with Atkli Brough and Johnson voting against It. When the vote was announced Alderm Casper wheeled his chair round and call out to George F. Wright In the lobby : " 1 Jove , that was a close shave , " the rema creating an uproar of laughter until t mayor rapped for order. Terminal Ordinance I.nlil Over. When the ordinance granting the Tern nnl Bridge & Railway company the rig to build a switchtrack on First avenue connect with the Illinois Central came Its passage was vigorously opposed Brough , who said the ordinance should uev bo passed until the company fulfilled spi of the promises It had made the city In Urn gone by. Brough carried his point and t ordinance was laid over. After the transaction of some other cnin matters the question of th'o electric llghtl bids was brought up by Alderman Chrlste sen , who suggested that they hear from Elc trlclan Lovett on his tabulation. Lovett re the tabulation which'showed ' the'bids teas as follows : Ervin Dryer , Manhattan eerl enclosed alternating lamps , $ G9 per lamp f 126 lamps ; Thomas Bowman , Council Bluf Hartford series enclosed alternating lanii $69.50 per lamp for 126 lamps ; Council Blui Gas and Electric company , Jandus series o closed alternating lamps , $72.50 per lamp f 126 lamps. At this stage in the proceedings Casp took the floor and told the council how 1 and the other members of the special cor mltteo had worked In preparing the co tracts , and ho would like to have the rend , but unfortunately ono section of t/ contract drawn up with Ervin Dryer , t : Chicago bidder , had been mislaid and person had been eent In search of It ni until ho returned with It he would like t council to take a recess. A ten-minute r cess was taken , TUt the messenger failed put In an appearance and the council r convened. Casper urged that the matter be d layed , as nothing would ho lost by n letting the contract that night. The co I tract had been drawn up with a view ' protect the city's Interest and If one bldJ I would not bo willing to accept It perha the other would , and by playing ono again the other the city would probably secure t bettor terms for the private consumer. Shubert opposed the delaying of the matt and then Casper said : "This Is evidently a scheme to throw i the bids out. We have got this thing dev fine ; perhaps too flno for some people. L us hear , anyhow , what they have to offi You may change your minds when you d as I may change mine. If this contra goes the people of Council Iluffs ) will : saved $10,000 to $15,000 a year. I dot want to , If I can possibly help It , have e'.th ol these contracts slip the council. " riirlNtcnxcii TnUi * * a IIiiiuI. Casper was at this point cut short 1 Chrlstcneen , who moved that the bid Thomas Bowman bo accepted. He was se ended by Shubert and Johnson , the lat : explaining that he did so because he unde stood that the Hartford lamp was superl to the Manhattan and because the men a Boclatcd with Bowman were residents of t city , public spirited and identified with t city's bent Interests. Before the motion could bo put the me penger with the missing section bf the Dry contract arrived on the scene and one ho was consumed by the city clerk In readii the contracts and ordinances that the cir mltteo had drafted for the bids ot Dry and the local company. When the clerk commenced what w claimed by Casper to bo the * contract BU I milled by Greuiisblelds on behalf of Bo\ \ man. Grcenehlelds took the floor and d mended the contract back , saying ho h only loaned It to Casper to assist the cor mltteo In drafting ono for Dryer. After tilt of words between Greonshlclds from t lobby and the alderman from tb'e Fir ward the contract was handed over to Bai man's representative. Then Casper Rot the floor again and spo In opposition to the council accepting ROT man's bid. He said he had it on the be authority that If Bowman secured the co tract he never Intended to build a plant Council Bluffs , but to secure his electrlcl from across the river. E. A. Wlckham , one of Bowman's a eoclates In the bid , took exception to Ca per's remarks and another war of wor vnsui < d between tbo alderman and dlffere outsiders In the lobby. Shubert then took a hand In the oratorio coutcst and after accusing Casper of rendli his gar moms at a previous meeting to 1 the contract to Bowman , now had swltchi round Jiko a weather vane and was opposli him , Then the mayor rapped for order and last the motion was put to a vote and tc : minutes later the nicotine was over.

PKTKIISON nTirM-TloV OASI < S ir.i ( Her Till the .Iniiiinr Term In ( lie Dlxtrlet Court. The hearing of the Injunction suit of Sloe Peterson against the Board of Education Wo continued yesterday until the January ten of district court. An attempt was made t get both sides to agree on a decree , but I failed , and as neither sldo was prepared t try the case it had to go over until ne.i term. Attorney Flloklnger , representing th plaintiff , filled a motion for a decree , ctnlni ing that the school hoard In Its pleadings ha admitted that the Smith appeal case had be ? decided adversely to the district. He nske thai the temporary Injunction prcviousl 'granted be made permanent. Learning Intt that the pleadings of the defense did nc make the admission claimed , ho wlthdre the motion and nn attempt was made t compromise on a decree and thus dispose < the suit. The attorneys for the school board wer willing to let the plaintiff have a decree ( Injunction on condition that In the event c the voters of the district selecting the Oali land avenue site for the location of the Hlg school the injunction should not opcrnti This Attorney Fllcklnner refused to agree ti Another point in dispute was the question i the fees paid to Attorneys Sims and Slcwai for their services In defending the school dU trlct In the appeal of Smith and In the cas at bar. Fllcklngcr Insisted that the tcc 1 wiped off the map and that Sims and Stewai be ordered to pay back the portion receive by them. This the defendants refused t agrco to and thus all negotiation ! ) looking I a settlement of the suit catno to an end. President Sims , up to last night , had m called a meeting ot the hoard to further cot sider the site question and It Is understoo that none will be called until after the hoi ! days. The member * of the board who ai opposed to the Oakland avenue site clnli that the propcslton tt ) submit the qucstlo of the location of the High school to tl : voters of the district Is not a fair one. Th ! claim Is based on the grounds that wljll there would bo only one site north of Broai ! way to bo submitted to the voters thei would be several south of Bread way. Thl they assert , would give the Oakland avenv supporters an Immense advantage , as the votes would all go polld for their partlcuU site while the ballots of the voters wl : favor n site south of Broadway would hal urally be divided among the several sites I the Held. When this objection was made known 1 the supporters of the Oakland avenue sll they offered to compromise the matter. The suggested to the members of the school boat who are opposed to any site north of Broai way that they agree on n single site sput of Broadway and then let the people vote c that and the Oakland avenue tract. In tl event of the site south of Broadway seem ing the largest number of votes then tt members of the board nt present favoring tl Oakland avenue site would agree to vote i favor of any site south of Broadway that tl : majority of the board might select. In tl : event of the people voting In the majorit for the Oakland avenue site then the men hers of the board at present opposed to It I agree to vote for its selection. This propc sit ion is at present under consideration , In it io said there is little likelihood of It bein accepted. Members Moore and Hess are sal to be ready to agree to it , but Member Henr says he will not be a party to any such dea It Is believed that when the board gel together again there will be enough votes t rescind the action selecting the Ballard sit and to order a special election held. Another objection raised to building tli High school on the Ballard property is tli fact that the ground would have to be pile and this would entail an extra expendltur of several thousand dollars. When the Gran hotel was erected it was found necessary t put in a largo amount of piling. This wn not , however , done Vhen the annex to th hotel was constructed and the consequcnc has been that the annex has settled and th walls are badly cracked , Davis sells paints.
