ALDERMEN PROMISE A FIGHT
QaeUion of Aipholt Paving in Fourth Ward
Takes on Now Interest.
OPPOSITION IS LINED UP STRONGLY
lloycr, llruuii mill f'lnrk Propose to
Knock Out MfDniinld' Plnn to
Aunrd Contract on Hid
.in In lliuiil.
An Interesting tlmo Is looked for nt tho
meeting of tho city council Monday night,
when tho matter of awarding tho contract
for tho paving with asphnltum of the group
of streets in the Fourth ward will cotno up.
At the lust meeting nn nttempt to reject nil
bids was defeated, and It Is said another
attempt will bo made nt tomorrow's session.
On tho other hand Alderman McDonald Is
determined to carry tho nsphnltum paving
through If possible, nnd has declared hlj
Intention to light for It to tho finish.
Aldormen Hoyor, Clark and Drown nro
opposed to nny nsphaltum paving nnri ham
so declared themselves. Whether they will
bo nblo to secure any further support ro
mnlns to bo seen. Alderman III own has
been particularly vigorous In his opposi
tion to usphalltim and has even gone so
fur as to circulate n petition In tho Fourth
ward asking that Galesburg brick or block
be used on thu streets selected for nsphal
tum. Tho petition has been qulto numer
ously signed, but whether ho has obtained
tho names of n majority of tho property
owners Interested Is not known. Tho thrco
nldermeii assert thnt they are opposed to
nsphaltum paving on account of Its greater
cost than brick.
Tho ntreetn on which bids for paving
with nsphaltum havo been received aro ns
follows: Klrst avenue, from Pearl to Eighth
street; Sixth street, from Uroadway to
Fifth avenue; Seventh street, from Uroad
way to Fifth nvenuo; Eighth street, from
Hrondwny to tho north curb lino of Eighth
avenue.
Tho bids received wero from tho Harbor
Asphalt company nnd tho Grant Paving
company, tho former offering to lny tho
pavement for $2.28 per squnro yard and tho
latter bidding $2.31. l.'oth bids nro on n
tcn-yenr guaranty.
Tho recent trip of Aldermen Hoyer,
Ilrown nnd Clark to Chicago Is said to
havo had connection with their opposition
to the nsphaltum paving, nnd It is said
thnt Alderman McDonald will demand some
explanation of this trip from his follow
councllmen, and for this reason nn Inter
esting tlmo is looked for.
A man wearing n sealskin overcoat at

MANY REASONS FOR ITS PROSPERITY
Implement llonsrs, llnllrnniln nnil a
Municipal Cnsh llnsln Are
Factor of Strmly Ail
tu nccineiit.
The Cr.wn of tho twantle'.h century finds
Council lllulfs nnd Its people -njoying f.u
em ot unqualified prosperity. Tho year Ju&t
closing has been marked with n steady im
plement nlong nil lines of business nnd
thj prospects tor tho opening year of the
now century aro of tho brightest. Huslncss
houses In general have largely increased
tho number ot their employe and the rate
of salaries paid has materially Increased,
both conditions being a stiro sign of tho
good times prevailing.
Tho growth "of Couucll Dlufs has btcn
stendy nnd healthy, no lalao Inflation duo
to a sudden boom, but ti naturnl growth fol
lowing tho Increase of business nnd the
development of Its Industries. Tho an
nouncement of tho census for 1,000, showing
a gnlu of over 28 per cont during the Inst
five years, attracted a good deal of ntten
tlon to tho city nnd gnvc It a prtstlge nnd
a distinction nmong tho foremost cities of
tho great middle west. Tho official cen
sus of 1900 gavo Council Hluffs n population
of 2.",S02. ns against 20.1S9 In 1S3J, nn In
crenso of fi.611. This In itself was most
flattering to tho citizens. Another bourco
of congratulation to tho pcoplo of Council
Hluffs nnd tho county of Pottawattamlo
was tho Increaso In taxablo prni";r'y na
shown by tho report ot tho stato execu
tive committee. It showed that Pottawat
tamlo county had tho largest lncrcnso of
nny county In tho atato. Its increaso In
personal property nmounted to $i;U,t2t5 nnd
In now buildings $83,513, making n total In
creaso of $273,069. This grnnd totnl placed
It at tho head of nil tho nlnntynlno coun
ties of the state. That tho farmers of Pot
tawattamio county have, during 1900, en
joyed a season of prosperous conditions Is
shown by tho largo number of mortgages
thnt havo bcon lifted during tho last
twclvo months. Crops have, boon good i.nd
tho farmers havo received tho best of prices
for their products.
Kit-incuts of I.ocnl Prosperity.
Tho many largo Implement houses In
Council Hluffs naturally represent ono of
Its foremost Industries nnd business in
this linn has almost doubled during 1000.
Almost every concern has been obliged
to Increaso the number of employes, both
in tho warehouses nnd on tho road. All
of tho big houses report collections for tho
past twelvo months better than for many
years past.
Tho railroads have spent large sumB of
money In tho city and in Its vicinity. Tho
Hurllngton has mado extensive, improve
ments at Its local freight yards, whllo tho
Itock Island is spending largo sums of
money raising Its yards and relocating its
numerous tracks. It has built n low round
houso and during tho year has given con
stant employment to a small army of men.
Tho Northwestern, in laying Its doubl
trnck, has also spent n great deal of money
nnd given employment to thousands of
men. Tho Illinois Central completed tho
erection of Its handsomo passenger dtpot,
which was formnlly opened and dedicated
last May. It has nlso carried out exton
slvo Improvements nrouad tho depot nnd Its
grounds in tho city.
Tho year Just pas3ed was marked by
tho oponlng of a now lino to Lako Manawa,
Council niuffs' popular summer resort,
but tho competition offerol by tho now
lino wns too great and It was absorbed
by tho old motor company.
One Dark Spot,
Council Hluffs experienced but one set
back during tho last year, nnd that wns tho
fnlluro of tho old-established prlvato bank
ing houso of Ofllcer & Pusey. This did not
nffect tho credit of tho city, as nil of tho
other banks nro In n prosperous and flour
ishing condition, aud thsy enjoyed during
tho last year a business almost doublo thnt
of tho preceding twelvo months.
Tho financial condition of tho city is bet
ter than It has been for many years. Dur
ing tho Inst year tho outstanding Indebted
ness was refunded, and by this means tho
municipality was placed on n cash basin.
Public improvements havo taken a stop for-
ward and tho city contracted for a largo
amount of paving. Delays of one naturo
nnd another prevented mush of this rnv-
mg being completed this year, but 1801 will
seo a largo amount of work chrrled out
In this line. Tho following streets wero
paved: North Main streot, from Uroadway
to Washington avenuo; Washington avo
nue, from Main streot to Hnrrlson street;
Tenth nvenuo, between Sixth and Main
streets: Plorco street, between First nnd
Stutsman streets; West Broadway, from
Twelfth street to tho brldgo at Indian creek
on Thirteenth street; Hryant street, from
uroadway to Washington nvenuo; North
First streot, from Hrondway to Washington
nvenuo; North Second streot, from Broad
way to Washington nvenuo.

Tho paving of the following streets has
boon contracted for: North Eighth street,
from Uroadway to Mynster streot; North

llullillnw llrcoril of the Year.
The building record for 1900 stands forth
ns nn Index of tho prosperity which Council
Bluffs hna enjoyed for tho twclvo mouths
now past. Building permits In the nggrc-
gnto ot nbout $225,000 were Issued, but this
nnnol bo regarded ns an nccurntn estimate
of tho vnluo of tho buildings erected, ns In
many cases the builders fall to lane out
any permit. The constantly Incrcnslng de
mand for cottage homes with modern im
provements has caused an unusually largo
number of such residences to bo erected
and In addition n number of handsome prl-
ato residences hnvo been built, more so
than for many years. Among tho moro
notnble buildings erected or now In course
of construction may bo mentioned: Tho
new High school building which, when
finished, will cost in tho neighborhood of
f 70,000; tho Elks' club house on First nve
nue, now Hearing completion, erected nt a
ost ot nbout $20,000; the olllco building on
Hrondway being erected by E. A. Wlck-
hnm on the ground formerly occupied by the
old lnndmark, tho Pacific house, at a cost
of $20,000; tho now brick building nt thu
corner of Tenth nvenuo nnd Mnln Btreet;
tho buildings on tho Bellinger property on
Broadway; tho remodeling by John Bono &
Co. of tho Elscman building on Broadway,
which has so enhanced tho nppenrnnco of
tho principal corner In tho street; tho model
lnundry ncnrlng completion on North Main
street, erected by Wallaco & Grout at a
cost of nbout $7,000. Among tho prlvato
residences built during tho last yenr may
bo noted: Tho Hubcr cottnges, tho Parsons
resldcnco on Graham avenue, tho handsome
resldcnco of Dr. Hanchctt on Sixth street,
facing Hayllss park; tho resldcnco erected
by J. P. Hess, nnd that erected by Victor
3. Bender on Bluff street; the two cottnge
homes In courso of construction on Oak-
and avenuo by James Sagutn; tho Dectkln
ottages on Mynster streot, and tho Mlthen
resldcnco on tho samo street; tho cottago
erected by P. Gunnoudo on Fourth street
nnd Tenth avenue, tho resldcnco now being
erected for ex-Aldermnti Shtlbcrt on First

ween $1,000 nnd $2,000 ench. Tho building
at tho corner of Scott street nnd Broadway,
owned nnd formerly occupied by the New
Nonpareil company, hns been purchased
by nn Omahn company, which intends to re
place tho present structure with u modern
building, three stories In height. The hand
somo passenger depot of tho Illinois Central
rallwny was completed last yenr nnd
formally dedicated on May 21, a notable
event in tho history of tho city. Tho bulbi
ng cost upwards of $50,000, whllo n largo
sum has since been spent by tho company
n beautifying tho grounds around It.
