COMPANY GETS RIGHT OF WAY
Council Praetleallr Decide oav -Petition
' of Bavllnsjtosi , t
Railroad.
' V
The ordinance Introduced at the meeting
ot the city council last Monday, giving the
Chicago. Burlington Qulncy railroad the
right to maintain., two . main tracks, on
Elsventh avenue from Mala etseetf to the
Union PaclDo transfer depot, will not be
opposed. The aldermen a a committee of
the whole went over the ground yesterday
morning In company with the local officer
of th railroad and found ne reason why
the request should not be granted.' '
In consideration for the passage of toe
ordinance the railroad, fcasegr to eon
struct waterway on each side of Stain
street at 1U tracks of sufficient . capacity
to carry off the water which heretofore In
times ot heavy rains ha flooded th street
to such an extent as, to make It impas
sable for street car, v The surface water
from the adjoining side gtreet congests
at the point on Main street where the Bur
lington's tracks cross, and -the storm sew
ers have proved Inadequate to carry it oft.
This Is to be remedied by the railroad com
pany, which is planning to ratio its pas
senger depot and make ' other - Improve
ments at this point. .
The original ordinance granting the Bur
lington a right-of-way on Eleventh avenue
provides only tor the maintenance ot one
main track, but for many year past tne
railroad has had two In operation over the
greater part ot the avenue. It now de
sires to extend its second track clear to
the transfer depot, and for this reason the
ordinance bas been Introduced.
At different times it ha been suggested
that the Burlington be required to main
tain crossing 'gates on Main street, the
same as the Northwestern has on Broad
way, but the aldermen will not at this
tlms Insist on this. The committee of
the whole yesterdsy on investigating this
matter decided that there was no actual
demand for the gate at this point, but It
is more than likely that before the ordi
nance is passed the city council will re
quire the Burlington to maintain a Bag
man at the crossing at the Eleventh ave
nue and Sixth street crossing. This is con
sidered to be the most dangerous crossing
in the city, as the large building of the
Monarch Manufacturing company com
pletely shut off all view ot the tracks and
trains approaching from the west. Several
accidents have been narrowly averted at
this crossing, and a few 'months ago a mall
wagon was struck by a mall train and ths
two horses killed, while the driver had a
narrow escape.
The committee of the whole will meet
again this morning at 10 o'clock to formu
late lta report, which will be submitted at
the meeting ot the city council next Mon
dey night.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 25. (Special.)-The
railroad commissioners' today sent out to
the general managers of the railroads do
ing business in Iowa a formal notice In
regard to a new law ot the state which
bas as yet been Ignored by the railroad
companies. This is tbe law which pro
vides that the companies must keep posted
In the waiting room at each and every pas
senger fetation bulletins of the time of ar
rival and departure of trains. This Is done
In but few of the passenger stations ot th
state. A copy of the law was sent to each
head ot a railroad and notification that
the law must be compiled with. Tbe rail
road commissioners report that In their
travels about the state they' have observed
no effort to obey this law. It passed the
legislature - last winter unopposed by the
companies.
Th annual report of tbe railroad com
missioners for tbe year 1901, which was
made to tbe governor last January and at
this time made public, bas Juat been
printed and distributed. It is a compre
hensive volume of statistic.
Assesament Work Incomplete.
Tbe work of the Board of Review and
executive council on the assessment and
equalisation matters 1 progressing slowly.
The board will probably do very little work
next week and hence the members are
working very hard thla week, but tomorrow
the governor goes to Atlantlo to review
the troop and In the evening to attend
a reception In bis honor. The state con
vention will interfere with tbe work next
week. The figures as returned by th as
sessors show a taxable value of property
In the state aggregating more thaO $372,
000,000, not Including any probable Increase
in the assessment of . railroad companies.
Ther is sure to be some Increase In this,
and it is probable the Increase In taxable
values for the entire state will run from
$20,000,000 to $22,000,000. Tbe board bas
decided upon not making public any fig
ures until the work la all In and the tax
levy made.
Hebeartag 1 Asked Fop.
The papers were filed today with ths
clerk of the supreme court asking a re

against the Omaha ft . Council Bluffs Bridge
and Railway company, from Pottawattamie
county, the case in which the supreme
court at the last term approved a verdict
of $12,000 for personal injuries and death.
The reliance of -the defense waa on the
lack of authority to the manager, who
gave what was claimed to be a waiver of
the statute of limitations In the matter of
time ot commencing the suit. ' The court
has held this waiver to be good. Tbe at
torney desire to argue the question again.

Compulsory Education Law.
The first Information which a great many
Iowa people will have In regard to the
new compulsory education law which has
Just gone Into effect will be when the
school census enumerators come around
early In September and proceed to make
a separate Hat ot all children between the
ages of 7 and 14, these to be turned over
to the proper school officers and to be
used In keeping tab on the school attend
ance of these young people. In the an
nual circular of Instructions now being
sent to county superintendents by the
state superintendent this is specially noted
and the school officers are requested to
pay particular attention to the same. The
compulsory education law has Just gone into
effect and with the coming school year
there will be more attention paid to the
attendance of small children than ever be
fore.
Would Like ltew Encampment.
The member of the Flfty-econd regi
ment, Iowa National guard, have made
some effort in the direction of having an
other encampment of the regiment this
year. The regiment was literally' drowned
out at Fonda early In the month and com
pelled to abandon the camp after two or
three days ot wading In the ' mud . and
water.. The veteran members ot the regi
ment felt great disappointment over the
unfortunate turn of affairs. It Is the first
time In the history of the guard that an
encampment had to be completely aban
doned on account of bad weather, and the
boy would like an opportunity to try
again. -With the camp broken up the en
tire regiment will go In the records for
the year without any markings as to drill
and camp work, while the other three
regiments will secure their markings. Be
sides, there wss some complaint on the
part of citizens of Fonda aa to the con
duct, or misconduct, of member of the
Fifty-second regiment and the boys would
like a chance to demonstrate that they
have a good regiment. As there sre no
funds with which to provide for an en
campment, It is not likely to be held.

Money Hot Dtstrlbnted.
What to do with $450 is a queatlon
puzzling Simon Casady, cashier of tbe Des
Moines Saving back. He bas that much
money In the vault, but does not know
wher to distribute it. Several months ago,
when th mln horror at Lost Creek oc
curred, a fund for relief of th families of
victims waa started In this city by th
I Typographical union, and a fund was raised.
I Sum of the money was sent direct to par
i ties at Lost Creek, but ths main portion
of ths fund, about $4-0, ia still on hand.
Mr, Casady was authorized to receive sub
scriptions and receipt for the same, but
not directed by any responsible person or
committee to send any money away, so he
haa waited for instructions from someone
In suthorlty.
