PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILDING

SERIOUS PROBLEM. OF MAINTENANCE
G'liarun for Itrntnl of I'rment Clunrtcra
la i:Uiil to Nenrly the Kutlre
Income of the Library
llnnrd.
Tho first steps toward securing n per
tnncent building for tho public library havo
bicn taken by tho trustees. Members K.
A. Troutman, T. K. C'anady and V. S.
Ilalrd of the board of trustees havo been
appointed a special commttteo to ilovlso
ways and means and to make a report at
tho meeting of tho board In January.
Since tho recent census demonstrated that
Council IIluiTs has a population exceeding
25,000 tho trustees are empowered under
section 732 of tho codo tolevy 3 mills for
tho purposo of securing a library building.
Tho section referred to provides that In
addition to 1 mill that tho trustees can
levy for ordinary expenses connected with
tho maintenance of tho library it can levy
not to exceed 3 mills annually for tho pur
chase of real estate nnd tho erection of a
building thereon for a public library or for
tho payment of Interest or nny indebtedness
Incurred for that purposo, or for tho crea
tion of a sinking fund for tho extinguish
ment of such Indebtedness,
A 3-mlll levy on tho present assessed
valuation of tho city wculd rcullzo some
thing over $10,000, which it Is estimated
would bo moro than ample to purchase a
suitable lot on which to build a library.
Several of tho trustees are in favor of
at first only levying from to 2 mills,
bolluvlcg that this would bo sufllcicnt for
4ho purchase of c lot and thon. If possi
ble, to lssuo bonds In a sufficient sum to
provide far the erection of a building, and
ttaat to mako a lovy each succeeding year
suHclent to meet the Interest and create
aj, sinking fund for the issue of bonds. Dy
thia plan it Is figured that the levy could
for this purposo be kept down not to ex
ceed 2 mills each year.
Tho trustees are hopeful that it a start
was made to secure a public library (or the
city they might receive substantial assist
ance from somo of the wealthier citizens
and others Interested In such work, which
might obviate tho necessity of making any
levy v at all for tho building itself after
tho board had secured the real estato on
which to build.
At present the greater portion of tho
revenue derived from tho levy for library
purposes is absorbed by rent paid for tho
quarters In tho Merrlam block nnd littlo
is left for tho purchaso of books. Defore
tho census showed that Council Uluffs had
a population exceeding 25,000 tho trustees
were enabled to levy 2 mills for tho main
tenance of the library, but from thla out
they will only bo authorized to lovy 1 mill
for such purposes and without a library
building they will find It a difficult task
to mako both cuds meet on a revenu de
rived from a 1-mlll levy.

SALE OF KI.KCTHIC LIGHTING PLANT
New Company nuya Out the Old, but
Dnte la Not 1'IieiI.
Tho salo of our electric lighting plant
to the Dluff City Electric Light and Oob
company has boon practically completed,
except that tho dato of delivery has not
yet been determined on."
This Btatement was mado by Manager
Nichols of the Council Uluffs (las and Elec
tric company yesterday. Tho prlco paid for
tho plant by tho now lighting company or
tho terms of purchaso, Manager Nlchola
said ho was not authorized to mako public
at this time. Tho dato for tho transfer
of tho property Is optional with tho Hluft
City company, but with tho transfer of tho
plant all of tho things pertaining to It, such
as tho poles, wiring, light towers and
lamps, will go with it, said Mr. Nichols.
Asked It tho old company would operato
tho plan for tho new company until such
tlmo as it got ready to do business, A r.
Nichols Bald: "With tho transfer of tho
plant to the now company, our company
will relinquish all Interest In It, as the
salo Is an absoluto one."
In answer to a question whether tho old
company, Intended to contlnuo on in the
gas business after tho salo of Its electric
lighting plant,, Manager Nichols said that
as far as he knew at present It would. He
gardlng tho report that tho niufT City
company intended selling Its charter and
franchise to tho old company nnd that tho
latter would bo reorganized and operato
under the namo of tho Dluff City company,
Mnnnger Nichols said thero was absolutely
no foundation for Buch a report.
J. P. Clrcenshlelds and Thomas Dowman
of tho Dluff City Electric Light and dns
company, when Been yesterday, corrobo
rated Manager Nichols' statement as to
tho salo of tho old company's electric light
ing plant to thom, but beyond this stated
they had nothing to mako public at this
time. Tholr plans, they said, woro not In
such Bhapo yot as to permit thom to mako
any public statement beyond that thoy
would be rendy to tnko caro of their con
tract with tho city for tho public lighting
when tho proper tlmo arrived.
Mr. Groenshlelds volunteored tho state
ment that his company would Install new
machinery throughout in the plant of thn
old company, but as tho manufacturers
wero behind with tholr ordors he could
not venturo any opinion as to how soon
that could bo accomplished.
