Council Uluffs experienced tbo heaviest
full of snow yesterday of tho winter and
the storm was said to bu tho most severe
for several years. Tho wind, which bley
ns a hurricane nil day, drilled tho snow
and practically put traffic nt u standstill,
In places tho drifts vcro four feet deep.
Tho motor company mndo a heroic effort
to keep Its Hues open nnd managed fairly
well to maintain somo Bort of a scrvlco
between Council Bluffs and Omaha. It
was hard work, however, as tho cars would
frequently get stalled or off tho track,
Tho Bweepcrs nnd plows wcro kept con
stantly nt work, but they failed to keep
tho tracks clear of tho drifting snow, Lnto
In tho afternoon tho company wns handi
capped by ono of Its large sweepers becom
ing disabled.
The worst point on tho lino botwecn tho
city and Omnhn wnB nt the Illinois Central
crossing on llrondway, where the wind had
n full sweep, nnd thero tho snow kept
piling up. A large force of shovelcrs wnB
kept nt work nt that point. Tho scrvlco on
the suburban lines wns much Impalt-cd.
Tho snow had tho effect of almost bus-
pending business In tlm city, ns teams wero would apply to tho School for tho Blind ut
unabla to maiio nuy headway against tho Vinton, which Is u strictly educational In
wind nml drifted snow. Only thoso per- stltutlon nnd not at all nn usylum or rcfugo

City Council I'ostlioiies Aellon on the
Xov IJleetrlc Conlriirt.
Tho city council met yesterday nfter
nnon ns a commltteo of tho whole nnd dis
cussed tho relocntlon of tho elcctrlo llghtfi
under the now contract with tho Citizens'
Gas nnd Electric Light company, hut noth
ing deflnlto was decided upon. Owing to
tho snow storm tho aldermen did not make
n tour of the city and tho discussion was of
an Informal character.
It was tho general opinion of tho nldcr
men present that In tho event of tho tow
ers being douo nway with, It would tnko
twelve nrc lights to furnish tho snmc
amount of Illumination as one tower. At
present tho city has 12K llghtR, but It was
estimated that to furnish tho sumo amount
of Illumination with the new stylo lamp
without tho towers It would tako 200 lamp3.
This would mean nn increase In rental of
$3,500 per annum. Under tho now contract
tho city will savo about 51.800, nnd this
sum would furnish about twenty-six extra
lamps.
Several of tho aldermen expressed the
opinion that tho city would bo better
lighted with the towers, nnd suggested that
an experiment bo made with both plans.
Tho aldermen will go to Omaha foiiio night
to Inspect tho lighting system there.

DES 'MOINES, March 19. (Special.) Su
perintendent ltothcrt of tho Stnto School
for tho Deaf nt Council Bluffs, who Is nt-
tending tho stnto meeting of superintend
cnts of stato Institutions, Is In favor of
giving tho School for tho Deaf more dls-
tlnctly nn educational character anil to
bring It Into closer relationship with the
other brunches of educational work In tin:
state. There has been a movement qultu
recently to have the educational lnstltu-
Hons of tho stnto, such as tho Stnto unl-
vcrslty, tho Stnto college nnd tho Stnto
Normal, schools, under tho control of tho
Stulo Board of Control nnd this would
then permit of a closer ulllnnco of tho
School for tho Deaf with tho Stato uni
versity nnd other schools.
Prof. Hothert Is In favor of hnvlw; tho
stnto superintendent of public Instruction
made a member of the board, so ns to
recognize tho fact that tho School for tho
Deaf Is In no sensp n charltublo or olce
mosynnry Institution, but strictly educa
tional. With tho stnto superintendent hav
ing n say in tho mntter better results
might bo obtained. The same arguments
laturo nnd tbo attitude of tho deaf school,
It Is believed they will bo taken out of the
class of charltublo and penal Institutions.
A stnto meeting of tho superintendents
of Btato Institutions was held today. All
wero present except tho superintendent of
tho blind school and Superintendent Hoyt
of the hospital ut Clarlnda, who Is seri
ously ill.
Tho Board of Control today reached nn
ngreement with the Cherokee authorities
for the vacation of the roads through tho
hospital grounds and let thu contract for
platting and parking tho grounds.
