MAKE IT MORE BINDING ON THE COMPANY Territory la Which Mires Go t'nder f.roand Increased and Many Pro vision Altered to Make Them More Definite. After wrestling with the ordlnsnra of the Council Bluffs Independent Telephone company for four hours yesterday after noon in committeo of the whole, the al dermen practically decided on the form In which they are willing it shall be sub mitted to the neonle to he vnteil mi special election. So many changes were trade in the measure as originally Intro duced that a new ordinance will have to be drafted and it is not unllkelv that tfci. may yet be amended when It comes before me city council proper for Its approval. As the ordinance now stand, it nm. vldes for a franchise for thlrtv-flva mn and It la understood that several of the aldermen are opposed to granting it for over twenty-five or thirty years at the most. One of the most important chanven w.i In regard to the territory in which the wires are to be placed In underground eon. dults. The original ordinance provided that the wires should be Placed In uniiarmnn ccndulta on Broadway between Glen ave nue and Eighth street, on Pearl street In ! Intersection with Main street and on Main street from Broadway to Its intersection with Pearl street. The Committer rlAfltiat that the territory for underground conduits un nroaaway snouid extend from First street to Tenth street and on Main street from Broadway to Ninth avenue. The original ordinance rave the rii. th. right to regulate the rates charm h tt.. company once in every nine years. This section was amended so as to give the city council the right to Impose such reatric- uons ana regulations, Including the' regu lating of the company's rentals anil iu. as shall be Just, equitable and reasonable. wnenever it saw nt to do so. The proposition of the comnanv ob tained in the ordinance to give the city, the use of ten telephones free of charge was amended by the company agreeing to furnish all telephones that the rllv pAimnii may order for the ,use of its officers as required for the business of the city. City Most Approve Transfer. In the original ordinance It was rimi. lated that no assignment, lease or transfer of the franchise should be valid until writ ten notice thereof should have been filed with the city clerk. This stipulation was made more binding by a provision to the effect that any assignment or lea nr transfer of the franchise must be approved by the city council. The ordinance as Introduced contained no provision for the commencement of the work or the installation and operation of, the telephone system within a given date. After a prolonged discussion and conference between the representatives of the com pany Attorney Tlntey consented to a clause reaulrlna- that the avstem he Inatallml en In operation within two years from the date of the taking of effect of the ordinance. Previous to taking up the ordinance sec tion by section the committee adopted the following resolution: Resolved, By the committee of the whole of the city council of the city of Council Bluffs, that we favor the installation of an Independent telephone system In Council Bluffs and the granting of a. franchise to any independent telephone company that will' Instill such system upon such terms as are lust and fair, and that will protect the rlghta and interests of the city and our citizens. Alderman Casper took occasion to brand the statement that be was a stockholder in the new company as a falsehood and pro ceeded to relate how, when he was a mem ber of a former council, he had the oppor tunity of obtaining SI .600 for bis vote on a certain measure which would have, had it passed, given the citizens of Council Bluffs cheaper gas than they are now getting.

Iowa Start . Work Promptly. Hon. R. C. Barrett, ststa superintendent of public Instruction, presides at I be open Ing session, yesterday afternoon of the convention ot county superintendents of southwestern Iowa, held in the office ot County Superintendent ' McManue. The program as originally prepared was not followed, owing to tbs atsenca of aev ral named to take part. Tbs first ques tlon discussed was, "The amount of tims required by the county superintendent In the office." The conclusion reached was that to serve tbe schools best the county superintendent should visit them mora fre quently, but In order te accomplish, this every county superintendent should be fur nished a deputy who could remain ia the office and attend to the work there. The conclusloa reached oo the dlacusslson of the que tlon. "What do you consider to be the efficient duty at the' county supsrin teadeaUT" was that It was to properly certificate teachers sat ts be able to place j them In the several schools of the county. Concerning the granting of a state cer tificate for two years to a graduate from the accredited schools as recommended by the State Board ot Examiners, It was the consensus of opinion that no such certifi cates should b issued to women under 18 years of age and to men under 19 years of sge. Regarding the character ot teachers' county examination questions the conclusion reached was that at least fifteen questions should be prepared on each subJecT and the applicant privileged to choose and write on any ten of the questions. With reference to duplicating of cer tificates, it was recommended that the state superintendent make a change In some of the rulings pertaining to this ques tion, so as to give the county superin tendent more liberty along this line. The county superintendents present at the opening session were: W. V. Norrls, Adams county; Arthur Farqnahr, Audubon county; D. C. Bralnard. Harrison county; Mary E. Hostetler, Marshall county; Oeorge H. Colbert, Page county; George A. Lux ford, Shelby county: H. S. Ash, Taylor county; Ira B. Johnson, Cass county; O. 3. McManus, Pottawattamie county.

The opening session today will be at 8:30 a. m. T:ere will be a rummage sale at the eld Bno buildint oa Friday and Saturday of this week. BURNS FILES APPEAL BOND Slaned by Surety Companies In flnm of flMMI.OIK), Which Is Accepted by Doyle. The supersedeas bond in the sum ot $600,000 for the appeal by the defendant to tbe state supreme court in the celebrated mining suit of James Doyle against James F. Burns, president of the Portland Gold Mining company of Colorado was filed in the district court here yesterday by former Governor C, S. Thomas and Ralph vV. Smith of Denver. The bond Is signed by the Fidelity and Deposit company, the United States and Guaranty company and the American Bonding and Trust company ot Baltimore. The bond was accompanied by a stipulation signed by the attorneys for Doyle that it was satisfactory to them and accordingly it was accepted by Freeman Reed, clerk of the district court. The bond also bore tbe signatures of James F. Burns and Ralph W. Smith, rep resentative of the three bonding companies. But for the acceptance by Doyle and his attorneys of a bond In the sum' of $600,000, Burns would have been unable to furnish a surety company bond. The Iowa law limits such bonds to 10 per cent of the capital stock of the bonding company, and it is said that the combined capital stock of such companies entitled to do business In Iowa does not amount to $6,000,000, although their assets are much greater than that sum. Judge Green's Judgment entry in the case was received here yesterdsy and duly en tered on record. It gives Doyle Judgment for $446,922.73, the amount awarded him by the Jury last December, and $8,044 interest on the Judgment to date. Insanity Warrant for Waethrleh.
