MOTOR COMPANY IS UNRULY
Rjfniei to Benr ItsShara of Cost of Buildinp
Fifth Avenut Bridge,
CITV MW CLOSE THE THOROUGHFARE
Action of the Committer I'resnKes n
KlKlit AgriilnM the Ciiriiiirn t Ion
mi the Point of llnlnliilnliiK
n CrossliiK.
Tho controversy between the city and tho
old motor company over tho I'lfth avrnue
bridge Is assuming teilous proportions and
If the recommendations of the committee on
bridges and city property are concurred In
the city counrll at ltn meeting next .Monday
night will take drnstlc measures to compel
tho street car company to ionic to terms.
The eontroveroy between tho motor com
pany nnd the city authorities Is due to a
dllfiirenco of opinion as to the amount the
former should pay toward the expense of
building the new brldgo over Indian creek
at Fifth avenue.
It had been hoped that an agreement
would have been amicably reached at the
conference held yesterday between the di
rectors of the motor rompiny and the mm
mltteo on bridges and city property. Neither
sldo was willing to compromise and tho con
ference broko up without a settlement.
Acting under tho expressed opinion of tho
majority of tho aldermen the commit tec
held out for the motor company to pay half
of the cost of tho proposed new bridge, pro
vided t Is constructed of sulllclcut strength
to enrry the weight of the motor cars. City
Hnglnccr Ktnyre has estimated that wich a
brldgo would cost In the nilghborht.od of
$2,100 and the motor company's share would
consequently be $1,200. This amount the
street car company docs not bcllee It
should be called upon to stand, but la will
ing to contribute $ ISO toward the cost of the
proposed new structure, lleyond this
amount, the directors Informed the commit
tee, the company was not willing to put up.
PoNltlon of tUf City,
The city authorities take the position that
tho brldgo has been to a great extent worn
out by tho heavy tratllc of the motor cars
and that If a new Htructuro of sultlclcnt
strength Is built to hear the weight of tho
motor cars that tho street railway company
should nt least pay half of the cOht. The
city, It Is contended, can build a bridge sulll
clont for ordinary passenger and vehicle
trafllc at half the cost of one to bear the
heavy motor cars, nnd that being tho case,
tho aldernun do not see why the city should
be compelled to expend cloe upon $1,000 to
accommodate tho motor company.
The bridge is In an unsafe condition nnd
has been for several months and the, com
mittee on bridges Is of the opinion that
the city should not bear tho responsibility
of keeping it open for trafllc In its present
condition any longer. The committee. In
Its report will recommend that the bridge
bo ordered condemned ami closed for any
trafllc, except that of foot passengers. Such
action on behalf of tho city authorltln?. It
is believed, will bring the motor company
to tlmo and force It to acquiesce In tho
city's demands that It pay half of the cost
of a new structure.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Chairman Hammer of the bridge commltteo
said: "Our conference with tho dlrevtorfl
of tho motor company, which wo had hoped
would have resulted In tome amicable agree
ment being reached, resulted In nothing,
The company seems unwilling to recede
from its position or compromise In any re
spect. There Is, however, In my opinion, a
way out of the dllllculty. If the motor
company desires to act the hog the city can
shut It off from using tho bridge In Its
present unsafe condition. Tho structure
can be condemned nnd ordered closed nnd
then If tho motor company wants to run
Its cars on Fifth avenue to tho transfer
depot it can build a brldgo for Itself. Of
course tho motor company can probably use
its old line on Sixteenth street to reach
tho transfer depot, but I doubt If It would
find It a very convenient route. If the
motor company still persists in refusing to
bear Its Just proportion of the now bridge
I am In favor of at once granting the new
company a franchise on one of the nvenuci
that will enable It to roach the transfer,
and If this Is done and I bellevo the ma
jority of the citizens would favor such a
move tho new company will e,oon t-ecuro
all the trafllc to and from the transfer.
For my part, I am not In favor of dickering
any longer with the motor company and
will urgo that tho council at onco tako
somo decided steps to bring the matter to
an Issue, ono way or tho other."
liiiliiceinelitN to I'lli-U lloiiril,
Tho motor company and tho park com
missioners have also locked horns over thn
removal of tho dirt that has fallen from
tho high banks and blocked tho entrance
through the "cut" to Fnlrmount park. Tho
motor company bas notified the park com-
mifcstoners that It Is willing to remove thU !
earth and to furnish music at the park on I
condition that tho board will use Its influcnco
with tho city council to secure for thn
company the right to lay a double track:
on South First street, in order that tho
crowds visiting thp psrk can bo better
handled. The residents and proporty own
ers on South First street aro opposed to a
uecond track, as the thoroughfaro Is a nar
row ono and two tracks would practically
makn It useless for vehicle trafllc. Under
these circumstanced the board declined to
act In the matter. On instructions from
tho board Secretary Phillips yesterday no
tilled tho motor company to remove Us '
tracks from the rut and around the pavilion
at the entrance to Falrmount park ami
that If they nro not removed within ten
days the board would do so. The com
slonors have decided to level off the earth
that has fallen and to construct a driveway
Into the park and around the pavilion.

It Is thn history of tho Fifteenth Judicial
district that only one man elected by the
people to the Judgeship has ever been re
fused a rcnomlnatlon. Judge T. K. Stock
ton of Sidney, Fremont county, in 1870 failed
to secure a rcnomlnatlon. Judgo Lewis of
Olenwood. Mills county, nppolntcd by the
governor 'to fill the unexpired term of Judge
Decmer of Hod Oak, who was promoted to
tho supremo bench, failed to secure the
nomination nt tho next general election. All
others who have served on the bench of this
district havo died, retired of their own will
or are still serving. In view of this prece
dent, it Is very probable that the man for
tunate enough to biicceed Judge Smith will
hold tho position for a long time.

Before cold weather wis In thl year It Is
j confidently expected thai the loo-foot granite
stiart in memory of Serneant Charles Floyd
will be lowering out the Missouri river
i-oulh of Sioux City. The work on the fo in
datlou was commenced today, when a force
of men began the excavation work under the
direction of Colonel H. Al. Chittenden,
Vnlted State? engineer stationed In ?l -ux
City, and who. as agent of tho War depart
ment, will hive full supervision of the con
struction work. So far none of the mater a'
for the monument has b-en received, but It
can be laid here on very short noti'e. Onlv
tho foundntlcn will be laid this spring, but
In the fall tho superstructure will he raised.
Tho Floyd Memorial association has now
$10,000 on hnnd to go on with the work, of
which amount tho government gave $.',,000
and the state the other $5,000. The asso
ciation also owns twenty-two ncrcs of land
surrounding the site of Floyd's gr.ivo ami
the city of Sioux City will make this Into a
park. For live jears the member of the
I nfS(,c'm llnv" rked tirelessly to I" leg I
11 uus lasting memory to tile llrst Antor-
lean soldier to die in the Louisiana pur
chase. History records that he died n few
miles from the present site of Sioux City
August 20, 1804. and was burled on the high
bluff overlooking thn river. It Is ail Ideal
spot for n monument, and when once fin
ished It will ho seem for many tulles, not
only In Iowa, but from tho states of Ne
braska nnd South Dakota.
