LOOKING FRANCHISE OVER
Proposition of Hew Telephone Company
General Topic of Discussion.
SOME OBJECTIONS TO PROPOSED TERMS
Experience la Orsallag Franchises
to Other Pahlle Service Corpora
tions Inclines People
to lie Cnntlons,
"The time has come when ths city of
Council Bluffs in granting any corporation
or company a valuable franchise should
derive some revenue from such grant,"
said s well knewn business man yester
day In discussing the request of the Coun
cil Bluffs Independent Telephone company,
made at the meeting of the city council
Monday night, for a franchise. The propo
sition of the new company was ths sub
ject of general discussion throughout the
city yesterday and It appeared to be the
consensus of opinion that no more fran
chises should be granted by tbs city unless
It derived a substantial revenue In return
for such a grant. Attention was called
to the fact that In Des Moines when the
Mutusl Telephone company secured a char
ter It did so on the agreement that It pay
the city a revenue of 5 per cent of Its
gross earnings.
Objection was also raised by many busi
ness men to the granting of a franchise
for such a long term as thirty-five years,
as asked by the new company. It was
suggested that the city In the nesr future,
following the trend of the times, might de
sire to acquire municipal control of the
public utilities by purchase and that there
fore the ordinance granting the franchise
should contain a provision reserving to
the city tKe right to acquire by purchase
ths plant at the end of five years, or some
stated reasonable length of time. Also
that such purchase be effected on an ap
praised value, the company to select one
appraiser, the city another and a third to
be selected by these two.
The ordinance Introduced by the new
company provides for furnishing the city
with ten free telephones. Inquiry at the
city hall yesterday elicited the Informa
tion that at present the city has the use of
fifteen telephones free of charge.
loo Long; Between Refutation.
One of the aldermen. In looking over the
ordinance yesterday at the city hall, ex
pressed himself as being opposed to the
clause giving the city the right to regu
late the rates charged by the company once
In every nine years. He gave It as his
opinion that there should be no restriction
as to time, but that the city should have
this power whenever It was deemed ex
pedient or whenever the conditions Justi
fied such a regulation,
When the Long Distance Telephone com
pany was granted a franchise in Council
Bluffs an annual tax of $1 on each of its
poles was made one of the provisions, and"
from this the city derives an Income of
over $100. It was pointed out yesterday
that In the ordlnsnce Introduced by the
new company there la no such provision.
Several of the aldermen also expressed
themselves as being In favor of requiring
the company. In the event of the people
voting to give It a franchise, to furnish a
cash bond ss a guaranty that It would ful
fill Its contract with the city and further
that the ordinance should distinctly pro
vide a certain date at which the Installa
tion of the plant should begin and be com
pleted. Inclined to Be Cnntlons.
With the experience gained In the psst
when the Suburban Motor company secured
a franchise which was later absorbed by the
old motor company and when the franchise
granted the new gas and electric company
was to all Intents and purposes turned
over to the old company, the aldermen are
Inclined to go cautiously before being re
sponsible for the granting of any charter
to a new company. While the ordinance
Introduced by the new telephone com
pany contains a clause prohibiting It
from assigning Us franchise to the
Nebraska Telephone company, there U
nothing to prevent the Nebraska Telephone
company from acquiring Us stock and
thereby the control of ths company.
Aldermsn Casper Is said to be Interested
In the now company, and It was stated
yesterday that when a business man sug
gested certain provisions that ought to be
Incorporated In the ordinance to safeguard
the city's interests he made this algnlfl
ant remark: "If you put all these re
quirements in the ordinance we will not
be able to bond our company."

HANNAN GETS SCHOOL BONDS
Saperlntendent Clifford and Principal
Enalsn Elertert for Another
Ycnr.
At the meeting of the Board of Educs
tlon last night Charles R. Hannan secured
the $102,000 refunding bonds on his bid ot
$175 premium. The bonds bear 4 per cent
interest and refund an Issue of $25,000,
dated March 15,1897, and an Issue of $77,
000, datd June 1, 1897. all bearing 4V4
per cent Interest. Other bids received by
School Treasurer Davis were: First Na
tional bank of Council Bluffs, $151 premium;
N. W. Harris A Co. ot Chicago, $143 pre
mium, and W. J. Hayes A Son of Cleve
land, who asked a commission of $1,020.
Treasurer Davis opened the bids at his
office before attending the board meet
ing and this led to a somewhat heated
dlscuealon as to his authority to do so.
Member Hess contended that the bids
should have been opened at the meeting
of the board and the board permitted to
pass upon them. Treasurer Davis, on the
other hand, contended that he was follow
ing the precedent established by former
treasurers of the school district and that
be was entirely In bis province when he
opened the bids and awarded the bonds
to Mr. Hannan, the highest bidder. '
Bids for the lots offered for sale by the
school district were opened and the follow
ing accepted: A. C. Schott, for lot S, Olen
avenue, $703 and special assessments; E.
C. Perry, $629 for lot 4 and $627 for lot

Caldwell $625 for lot 7.
Superintendent Clifford was unanimously
re-elected for another year, as was Prin
cipal F. C. Ensign ot ths High school.
It was decided not to reopen the Clark
school, but at the opening of the new semes
ter to provide transportation for the chil
dren In that district to and from the
Pierce streets school.
Superintendent Clifford, in his report,
called attention to the fact that while the
school census of the district showed 6.210
children ot school age, the enrollment in
the public schools was 6.182, which he con
sidered a splendid showing. The total en-1
rollroent tor March shows an incresse of
280 over that for the same month In 1901.

' Iowa Weather and Crops.
Director 8age of the Iowa weather and
crop service today Issued the first of his
weekly bulletins on Iowa crops as follows:
The crop season Is at least ten days In
advance of the average in this section,
with exceptionally favorable conditions for
early farm operations: but the germination
of seed and growth of vegetation has been
retarded by cold and dry weather. March
was warmer than usual, but the first two
weeks In April have been unseasonably
cold, with high winds and very light rain
fall. But the soil has been In very fine
condition for seeding and plowing, with
sufficient moisture near the surface, to
start germination when the temperature
rises.
Seeding of small grain Is practically com
pleted, except in portions of the northern
section. Plowing for corn is In progress,
and a large area is In readiness for the
planter. Grasses made a fair start In
March, but growth haa been checked, and
the present outlook for the hay crop Is not
flattering. Except In a few localities, win
ter wheat and rye wintered fairly well.
There are some reports of damage to clover
meadows. Fruit trees are in good condi
tion, except the peach. The condition of
live stock is somewhat below the average
In respect to flesh, but there are no reports
of loss by disease.

I firmly believe that I owe my life to
Cramer's Kidney Cure. For two years
I suffered with kidney trouble and
could find no relief anywhere, I spent
hundreds of dollars on doctors snd
medicines. Some would give tempo
rary relief and others none whatever.
I decided to try Cramer's Kidney Cure
as a laat resort, and I wish I had fol
lowed the advice of friends sooner. It
waa the only thing that helped me,
and In leas than four months It had
mad a new man of me. I am entirely

the railroad construction work here the last
