Council Bluffs. For tho first time In fifteen years pay ments on the special paving and grading a- sessment bonds aro up to date, a fact which Is very gratifying to tho city ofllclals. This satisfactory state of affairs was- brought about yesterday by City Treasurer True tak ing up something over $5,000 wprth or these bonds which had become past duo and were being carried by one of tho banks of tho city. Tho money paid In by the Water com pany In redomptlon of Its lots on West llroadway which had hnnn foreclosed by the city for nonpayment of special taxes, ma terially assisted In enabling the city treas urer to take up these outstanding bonds. With tho city now on a cash basis nnd with ample funds In Its treasury to meet all current expenses, and with the special assessment bonds paid up lo date, the municipality Is In tli best flnanolal condition It has been In tor many long years. Private Individuals or some of tho local banks have heretofore always been obliged to carry some of tho special assessment bonds, n tbero was nover sufhrlcnt funds In the civic treas ury to moot them whon they bo:amo due. In speaking of the matter yesterday City Treasurer True said; "It Is most gratifying to bo able to announce thnt payments on tho special assessment bonds arc nil up to date, the more especially as It Is the first time In fifteen years that they have been ho. I can remember when thero was as much as $72,000 of these bonds past due on which the city was compelled to continue paying Interest. With the city, no it is now, on a cash baslB and with plenty of money to pay nil war rants for current expenses our financial con dition Is better than nt any time slnco my residence In Council Uluffs.' Tho city council met yesterday afternoon as a board of review for the equalization of city taxes. Aseessor Hardin was present with his books, but no changes were made, tho board postponing any action until this evening, when It will meet ngaln. The books show an Increase over last year of about $200,000 actual value or $50,000 as eessnblo value. This Increase Is duo to the number of new buildings and tho now ele vator at tho transfer. While this Is tho year In which only personal property Is assessed, the law provides that all now buildings shall be assessed. Heretofore new buildings were only assessed every two years when the as sessment of real estate Is made. Madden. Council Muffs; Frank Urury, I. U Hodge, T.

Ofllclal figures given out by the secretary of tho stato executive council today show a net Increase of over 700 miles of railroad In tho state during tho last year. This Is a much greater Increase than has been shown In tho history of Iowa railroads slnco the early 'SO's. It Is attributed to the general pros perity of tho Inst year nnd the largo nmount of railroad Improvements which has been rttnrtcd In nearly every soctlon of tho statu. Tho exact nitmbor or miles shown by tho olllclal tablo Is 719.90. This docs not In cludo 10G miles or tho Northwestern road which havo been graded, but not yet laid with rails, the now line which tho council taxed and against which action the North western protests, claiming that a grade Is not yet a railroad and taxable ns such. The Northwestern heads tho list In mile age Increase, tho total on all Its branchrs for the yfar being 266 miles. The Fort Dodgo & Omaha line ranks second with 131.02 miles. The Mllwuukee Is third In point of increase, having a total pf 82.212. The Minneapolis & St. Louis has 73.56 and nil tho other roads aro below fifty. The grois Increase ot all the roads was 721.20 mllrs, but thivo was a slight decrease on a fow lines, which made the nt Increase fall lo 718.96.
