ORDINANCE FOR NEW R01D
MaMnrafoi Great Western's Kifst ef Wtj
In.rfdiosa1 ia tat Ceuioil.
PROVIDES FOR THE VACATION OF STREETS
Grnat Ise of Pablle Highways for
Termlaals and Depots Mereaaats
oa Sooth Avenae Bad Third
Street Pretest.
Two ordinances In the Interest of the
Great Western railroad were Introduced
at the meeting of the city council last
night One granted the, railroad a right-of-way
over certain streets and alleys in
the city while the other provided for the
vacation of certain streets, portions of
streets and alleys. Both meaeurea were
passed to their second reading and then
referred to the committee of the whole.
The right-of-way ordinance grants the
Mason City at Fort Dodge Railroad com
psny, by which name the extension of the
Great Western from Fort Dodge to this city
Is known, permission - and authority to
locate Its railroad and to lay down, main
tain and operate two or more main tracks,
turnouts, switches, etc., along . the route
from Eighth avenue and Thirteenth street
where connection is had with the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal tracks to the city
limits.
The route as outlined In the ordinance
ia along Ninth avenue to Fourth street
thence southeasterly to, Wabash yards
thence across Tostevin street thence In a
southeasterly direction parallel with South
avenue and across Woodbury avenue and
thence-In a northeasterly direction to the
city limits.
Location for Freight Depot.
' One section of the ordinance gives the
railroad permission to erect Its freight
depot on Ninth avenae between Sixth and
Seventh streets and to project depot ten
feet Into the avenue. Also grants the rail
road permission to occupy all of Ninth
avenue south of the south curb line from
Sixth street to Eleventh street for an
approach to any team tracks that the rail
road may maintain and operate.
The vacation ordinance provides for the
vacation of all those parts of Fifteenth
avenue, Fourteenth avenue and the alleys
tn blocks twenty, seventeen and sixteen
In Williams' First addition to the city of
Council Bluffs, Iowa, from the west line
of Third street to the east lino of the right-of-way
of the Wabash Railroad company.
All of those parts of Eighth. Ninth and
Tenth streets lying between the south line
of Ninth avenue and the north line of
Tenth avenue, and the alleys In blocks
five, thirty-two, thirty and six, and all of
the alleys lying east of lot fourteen In
block seven. Riddle's subdivision.
Proposed Ordlaaaco Meets Opposition,
Severs! of the aldermen In discussing this
ordinance stated that an objectionable feat
ure of it was the proposed vacation of
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth streets and this
it Is believed will be strongly opposed.
A protest signed by thirty-two merchants
snd business men on South Main street was
filed objecting to the railroad absorbing
South avenue and Third street on the
grounds that It would Injure their trade
and drive farmers to seek another market
for their products and to do their trading
elsewhere. South avenue, the protesters
assert was the, main highway to the city
from the country southwest . of the eiry.
A protest was also filed by, residents In
the neighborhood of South avenue.
An ordinance vacating the alley la Coch
ran addition through the property recently
purchased by the school district for the
Second avenue school was passed under a
suspension of the rules.
An ordinance granting the Groneweg at
Schoentgen company permission to build an
elevated plank sidewalk or platform along
the aide of their proposed warehouae on
Ninth street and Broadway waa Introduced
snd referred to the committee of the whole.
Under the plan proposed this sidewalk
would be three feet eight Inches above the
present grade. The plan provides for steps
at south and north ends for use of pedes
trians. .-, 1
Board of Health Considers Smallpox.
At the meeting of the Board of Health
last night Grenvillo Dodge urged the board
to secure a suitable building where female
smallpox patlenta could be laolated. He
called attention to the case at the Revere
house and urged that If she could not be
removed to another building that she be
laolated in a portion ef the bouse, the re
mainder of the premises properly dlsln
fected snd the occupants released after sev.
enteen days quarantine. '
Some of tbo members complained that they
had not been consulted at the time Motor
man Mca.ff rey was. removed from the Re
vere house to the Isolation hospital without
the hotel being quarantined.
It waa decided to quarantine the entire
bouse at 117 West Pierce street, a portion
of which Is occupied by Rev. T. F. Birch.
who Is suffering from smallpox.
Several bills for rent of premises occu
pied by smallpox patients Under quarantine
were recommended for payment to the
county, as waa a bill of Green Bros, for
3610 for groceries supplied quarantined fam
ilies.
Green, Shields at Everett offered to sell
the board at a nomlual price one of the
houses being now removed off the Great
Western right of way for an Isolation hos
pital tor female amallpox patients, but the
board declined to entertain the proposi
tion on the grounds that with the snow on
the ground the building could not be re
moved at this time.

Aaka to Have Tax Fixed.
A petition filed yesterday la the district
court by William E. Talbot, executor of the
eatate of William Huber ef Chambersburg,
Pa., to have the amouat of the collateral
Inheritance tax fixed raises two Important
quoatlona.
Huber died poasessed of an estate valued
at $40,000, 316.000 of which la represented
by real estate in Pottawattamie. Cass and
Marlon counties this state. All of his prop
erty goes to collateral heirs.
Under the will the real eatate is to be
eold end turned Into cash by the executor,
The qussttoa raised by ths executor Is
whether the turning of the real estste Into
cash does not place It out of the Jurisdle
Mob of the Iowa collateral inheritance tax
law and place It under the Jurisdiction of
the Pennsylvania court tn which the estate
Is being settled. It Is contended by the
executor that ths sals of the real eatate
nd the conversion of it into cash will make
ll personal property Instead of real prop
, erty snd therefore will Uke It out st the
Jurisdiction of the Iowa courts.
The ether question e-Ua tress the tact
that during his life time Huber sold cer
tain portions of his real es'ate holdings In
ibis atate under contract, but did not ex
ecute the deeda which have since his death
been made by the executor. The executor
claims that such sales took the property
out of the provisions of the collateral in
heritance tax law of this state.
These questions are raised here for the
Bret time since the ensctment of the col
lateral Inheritance tsx law and the final
determination Is being watched with much
Interest by lawyers and others.

. An election hss been called In the Fifty
first regiment. Iowa' National Guard, tor
the office ot llentenaat-colonel and major,
and already the warclouds are hanging over
the twelve companies that constitute the
regiment. The fact that for both positions
the officers and the enlisted men ot tLs
companies have held caucusses. with the
reault that two seta of candidates have been
Indorsed adds to the interest snd uncer
tainty of the result. There Is a serious
question, however, If the caucus results will
not be broken. There Is an earnest effort
on the pert of all csndldstes to remain
free from entangling alliances, but this Is
now considered to be nearly Impossible. The
positions to be filled are successions to the
rsnk of Lieutenant-Colonel J. W. Clark,
formerly of Red Oak, but now of New York
City, sod Major W. B. Wldner. formerly
ot Bedford, now' of Chicago. Among the
