There Is considerable opposition to the gift
by the city of any of the public streets to
Colonel Hannan.
The offer of J. Oorhain to purchase
for $330 tho lot at the corner of Eleventh
avenue and Third strtel belonging to tho
city was referred to the committee on city
bridges nnd property, with power to act.
The request of the Council Illuffs Coal

replneo the sheds burned early yesterday
morning was referred to tho committee on
flro and light, with Instructions to report at
the next meeting of tho council.
Aldermen Brown, Hubcr and Lovett were
appointed a special committee to take up
the matter of providing a standing place
for tho expressmen and common carriers
of tho city. Many of the expressmen have
refused to pay their licenses until provided
with some place whoro they can stand their
teams.
At the suggestion of Alderman Hubcr tho
committee on streets and nlleys was given
authority to purchnso a weed-cutting ma
chine, provided the test proved satisfac
tory. Alderman Boycr suggested that the
city endeavor to trade In some of tho sec

In order that the assessments for the. work
which he has completed might be mado out.

TEST OF THE JPAVING BRICK
City MtiKlnrcr Ktnyro Hrnnrt to
Council III" KlntllnRft In ttir
IJxperliiiciitH.
In compliance with the Instruction of the
city council. City Engineer Etnyro (lied yrs
terdny his report of the tests mado of the
Hovcral kinds of paving brick nn which bids
were made for tho paving of the streets In
tho Fourth ward, tho contract for which
was awarded to E. A. Wlckham.
Tho report In part Is ns follows: "As
tho Springfield nnd Coffeyvlllo brick are n
now material In this section 1 gavo them
more than ordinary attention. 1 found that
Coffeyvlllo brick has been used for paving
In Kansas City for soveral years ar.d that
Its present condition Is very satisfactory:
that what Is called Coffeyvlllc brick Is mado
In threo different localities and, while they
nil have a slmllnr outward nppearance thro
Is a material difference In their wearing
qualities. While tho 'rattler' tests of this
brick nre good the nbsorptlon tests are
poor, but what effect the amount of nbsrrp
tlcn would have In this climate I cannot y
at present.
"From tcets mado of our home brick I nm
satisfied that If they had bevelled lnstcal
of sharp edges tho 'rattler' test would
have proved them equal to tho best. Be
Moving that the pavement to bo let cannot
bo put In this year, cannot proper Induce
ments bo offered our homo manufacturers
to put In tho proper plant nnd burn a larger
and more uniform paving brick? Wo would
not only get a cheaper pavement, but as
good or better than with any foreign prod
uct and besides would keep all this labor
at home.
"Two 'rattler' tests wero made, ono in
Omaha and tho second In this city. In
Omaha the tofts were mado In a 'rattler
of thirty Inches diameter and the brick
was subjected to 1.R0O revolutions, with thli
result: Onlesburg block, 0.64 per cent or
loss; Coffoyvllle, 11.83; Des Moines (Capital
City), 11.87; Springfield, 21.32; Des Molnca
(Flint), 21.80; St, Joseph. 22.
"Tho test in Council Bluffs was mnde In a
'rattler' of eighteen Inches diameter and
the brick wore subjected to 1,600 revolu
tions, with this result: Oalesburg block,
5.39 per cent of loss; Coffeyvlllc, 8.25;
Springfield, 9.05; Council niuffs, 10.15; Dea
Moines, 10.09; St. Joseph, 12.94.
"Tho nbsorptlon test mado of tho brick In
this city gave theso results: Onlesburg
block, 0 per cent absorption; Coffoyvllle, 5;
Sprlngflold, 1; Des Moines, 1; Council
Bluffs, 2.08."

A peculiar condition of affairs has been
disclosed In this county, where the city
has certified up to tho county for collec
tion various sums duo from the state as
special assessments against stato property
I for pavings, sowers, etc., and the state hns
never paid any of thu bills. The debt has
been accumulating for a number of years
and Is now considerable. The county all
thorltlcs hnvo no way of collecting this
sum, but will ask the legislature for an
appropriation to cover the case. Tho stato
owns soveral squares In the city asldo from
that on which tho state capltol Is built.

Tho tax ferret business has been tho
cause of n considerable muddlo In Hnrdln

to tho assessors. These persona nro those
who havo settled with tho tax ferrets and
paid large sums as taxes on property un
covered. Then there has been a civil suit
on trial this week nnd not yet finished. In
which tho county seeks to recover $7,000
paid to a firm of lawyers for legal advice
on a contract with the' Board of Super

county auditor failed to publish and for
which failure ho was' Indicted. The whole
county Is stirred up. politically and other
wise, over the matter and the tax ferret
business Is In disrepute there.

and Indians, constitute In Oregon 9.1 per
cent of all males of voting age, while In
Oklahoma this same element, comprising
chiefly persons of negro descent nnd In
dians, constitute 7 per cent of the whole
number of males of this class. In North
Dakota and Ohio tho proportion of colored
males of voting age Is small, or a little
over 2 per cent In each. Among males of
voting age as a whole there Is only a small
proportion of literates In nil of tho states
