The ordinance vacating certain streets,
avenue and alleya to the Great Western
railroad, as agreed upon at the star cham
ber session of the aldermen Tuesday, was
passed yesterday, afternoon at an open
meeting of the city council after an Im
portant amendment suggested by Alderman
Huber had been tacked on and a few unim
portant change had been made in some of
the sections. The railroad baa thirty days
In which to file it acceptance of the meas
ure, but according to a statement of Colonel
C. O. Saunders, the company 'a local legal
representative. President Colt of the Mason
City Fort Dodge Railroad company will
decline to accept the ordinance on account
of the insertion of the amendment proposed
by Alderman Huber, which requires the
railroad to maintain electric arc lights at
the street crossing at Tenth avenue and
Tostevln street.
Alderman Huber also sought to have the
ordinance so amended a to require the
Great Western to erect and maintain a
passenger depot in the city as large as that
of the Illinois Central. In this, however,
he wes supported only by Alderman Ham
mer, the other aldermen believing that the
erection of a passenger depot should be left
to the discretion of the railroad.
The ordinance vacates to the Mason City
& Fort Dodge Railroad company those part
of Fifteenth and Fourteenth avenue from
the west line of Third street to the east line
of the right-of-way of the Wabash rail
road and Intersecting alley;' those part of
Ninth and Tenth street between the south
line of Ninth avenue and the north line of
Tenth avenue and Intersecting alleys. It
contains the usual provision for the laying
of sewers, water and gaa mains, etc., pre
serving the city' right In the matter.
To Keep Its Distance from Highway.
The ordinance provides that In considera
tion of these vacation and the privileges
therein conferred the railroad shall con
struct that portion of It railway running
parallel with South avenue and along the
east thereof, so that the center of It main
line track shall not be nearer than seventy
five feet to the easterly line of the avenue
and shall plant and maintain along the
easterly line of the avenue a double willow
hedge, beginning at a point 150 feet south
east of Tostevln street and ending at a
point 150 feet north of the north line of
Woodbury avenue, where It Intersect with
South avenue. That waa all this section In
the original ordinance provided, but Alder
man Huber'a amendment added the stipula
tion compelling the railroad to maintain arc
lights at the atreet crossings at Tenth
avenue and Tost svln street.
As a further consideration for the privi
leges conferred by the ordinance tba rail
road agrees to locate and permanently
maintain a division station in Council
Bluffs, with roundhouse, coal chutes, repair
shops and such other facilities for the
operation of a railway as are usually main
talaed by railway companies at division
points.
Orly Oao storage Track.
Section of the ordinance as agreed upon
at the star chamber session gave the rail
road the right to construct and maintain a
storage track on the west of its main line
paralleling South avenue, this track to be
within fifty feet of the easterly line of the
avenue. When the re-drafted ordinance was
placed before the council yesterday after
noon this had been changed so as to give
the railroad the right to place two storage
tracks, if it so desired, between Its main
line track and the avenue. On motion of
Alderman Lou gee this section was amended
so aa to give the right tor only one atorags
track, as previously agreed upoa.
Alderman Huber, In suggesting the
amendment to provide for the maintenance
of are lights at the Tenth avenue and
Tostevln street crossing, included In his
motion that tha railroad be required also
to maintain lights wherever directed by
the city council. This brought Attorney
Saunders to his feet with the declaration
that If these provisions were Incorporated
the ordinance would not be accepted by the
railroad.
Protesting against the amendment, he
said the railroad had yielded on a good
many matters, such as relinquishing Ita da.
mand that Eighth street be vacated and tor
the use ot the ten-foot strip 'of Ninth
avenue for Us freight depot; that it had
consented to place Its tracks seventy feet
from South avenue, aa asked by the eltl-
sens, snd to erect the hedge as requested,
but that If the amendment requiring It to
maintain lights as suggested by Alderman
Huber was adopted he could atate positively
that the ordinance would not be accepted
by President Colt. J. P. Greenshielda, local
right-of-way purchasing agent for the rail
road, addreased the council In tha same
strain as Attorney Saunders. At the sug
gestion of Alderman Lougee, the part of
the amendment providing for the mainten
ance of lights wherever directed by the
eonncil was stricken out and the portion
providing for the lights at Tenth avenue
and Tostevln street was unanimously
adopted. 1
Ko Maaaloa Necessary.
When Alderman Huber introduced hi
amendment requiring the railroad to erect
and maintain a passenger depot la the city
on the same scale as that ot the Illinois
Central, Colonel Saunders Jumped to his
feet, and, bringing his hand down on (he
railing, pasaionately declared that the coun
ell need not paas the ordinance, as it would
never be accepted.
Colonel Saunders' outbreak elicited the
remark from Alderman Lougee that he ob
jected to Mr. Saunders threatening the
council In that manner, and that the alder
men were doing their best to paas an ordl
nance which would be suitable to the rail
road and at the same time preserve the
rights of the people. He said he conjidered
Alderman Huber's amendment unreasonable.
as he did not believe the Great Western
would need a pasaeager station aa large
as that of the Illinois Central, and he was
sure that It did not intend to put up
woodshed to do service for a passenger
station. He believed the railroad would
put up a passenger depot th same site as
that of the Rock Island railroad. Alderman
Huber'a amendment was lost, only receiving
the support of Alderman Hammer.
Hokrer Haa I'eraoaal Grlevaaee.
M. F. Rohrer addressed the council, pro
testing against the pasisg of the ordinance.
Mrs. Rohrer. he stated. oaed thirt
acres ot land, with a frontage of 170 feet
on South avenue, and the Great Western
had declined te pay htra his price for the
entire tract, but wouJd condemn for lis
right-of-way a atrip 150 feet wide. This, he
aid. would leave the remaining tea acre
without an exit to the avenue. To prevent
this, he had decided to plat the tract and
dedicate two sixty-foot streets to the city,
and for this reason ha asked that the pass
age of the ordinance be delayed until he
could submit the plat to the council. He
also said be protested against the willow
hedge, a it would obscure the view of hi
tract, and he further objected to the storage
tracks, a a line of box car would also
obstruct the view. The council decided that
whatever grievance Mr. Robrer might have
was one for htm to settle with the railroad.
During the discussion It developed that
the Groat Western had offered Rohrer
$8,400 for the thirteen acres. Paper In con
demnation proceeding by the railroad wer
served on Mr. Rohrer while he was address
ing the council.

DE3 MOINES, Feb. 19. (8peclal.) The
most important matter which ba yet com
to the attention ot the Iowa legislature was
developed this afternoon in a report of
a senate subcommittee in favor of general
revision ot the laws of the state relating to
railway corporations and the assessment
thereof tor taxation purposes. This sub
committee, consisting of Senstors Healey,
Junkln. Porter and Lewis, haa been at work
some time on the measure to he proposed.
Ths committee made a unsnlmous report
to the ways snd means committee this
afternoon, presenting two bills and suggest
ing that the committee gtve a hearing on
these bills Friday afternoon of this week.
The committee In Ita report said:
The committee la of the opinion that the
general belief that the railways of the
atate are not paying their fair share of the
taxes necessary for the aupport of the
various departments of Btate government Is
well founded. In support of these conclu
sions we have gathered considerable data,
which will be submitted at the proper time.
We have examined into the constitutional
inhibitions and limitations and the laws of
our own and other progressive states In re
lation to the subject of railway taxation
and have reached the conclusion that In
some respect our present lawa are en
tirely Inadequate to meet the new condi
tions In railway management and financier
ing. Tba first of the bills proposed provides
for employment of a competent statistician
by the governor to make an investigation
into the value of all corporate property
subject to assessment by tbe executive
council and to provide for publication of a
report thereon. The other bill provides a
unit rule for the assessment of railroad
property, to assess it at Its actual market
value, measured by ordinary stsndards, snd
to tlx the valuation for taxable purposes
at 25 per cent of the actual value. It pro
vides for a substitute for the present law
and that the executive council shall take
Into consideration in making the assess
ment of railway property not only the gross
and net earnings, the taxes paid snd other
items, as In the present law, but also that
It shall take Into consideration the amount
of money, stocks, bonds and current assets
of whatever nature on hand or in possession
ot officers or others Interested In the com
pany; also the number of shares of stock
and the par value thereof, the amount of
the floating and funded Indebtedness snd
the market value of the same, and tbe bonda
of the companies and all other evidences
of Indebtedness. In regard to the manner
of assessment, the bill provides:
The railway property of the state, tan
gible and Intangible, shall be valued at Its
actual valU6 and shall be assessed at 25 per
cent of such actual value, which shall be
considered the taxable value of such
firoperty and the value at which It shall be
lated and upon which the levy shall be
made. The actual value of such railway
Eroperty ahall mean its value in the mar
et in th ordinary course of trade. The
executive council In determining auch val
uation shall take into consideration the sum
of the market or actual value of the stocks,
bonds and seeurities of each railway, to
gether with any other matter necessary to
secure a Just .and equitable aasessment.
When only a part of the railway lies In
thla state that part of the value of the en
tire railway which Is measured by the pro
portion of the length of the particular rail
way In this atate to that of the whole rail
way shall be considered In estimating its
value In that state for taxtlon purposes
within the state.
In ascertaining the value of the stocks
and bonds, the council may consider tbe
brokers' reports and other similar evidence.
The bill is one which has "been urged by
those who have contended that the Iowa
assessments have been inadequate. It has
been carefully drawn by the committee.
after consultation with leading members
and with Lieutenant Governor Herrlott and
others, and It Is regarded as the most re
markable legislation which has yet ap
peared. Tbe committee will report tbe
bin o the senate In a tew days.
Aatl-Pasa Bill Killed.
The chief business of the house today
was the killing of the Hughes anti-pass bill

Vacclnatloa Troables Settled.
Legal proceedings which threatened to
precipitate a fierce warfare between two ot
the leading schools of medicine tn Iowa
were happily terminated thla morning at
the suggestion of Judge Holmes, who, in
the case of Evans against the West Des
Moines School board, pointed the way to a
compromise satisfactory to both the school
board and Mr. Evans. The compact aa
orally agreed upon permits the attend
ance of all children at achool who will bring
ith them a certificate of auccesiful vacci
nation by inoculation within the last two
weeks given by a reputable physician. Tbe
West Des Moines School board shall not as
sume tbe premises of defining the definition
of inoculation and whether the pupil has
been made Immune from the smallpox
either by Internal application or absorption
of the virus through an Incision In the
arm, admlttaace must be given. The agree
ment la entirely aatisfactory to the home
opaths, who were instrumental in bringing
tbe suit for the reason It prevents the
achool board from discriminating between
the two schools of medicine.
