LIBRARY GETS TAX LEVY
Oily Two Cbunoilmen Tote -Again Tine
Hills fer Building Bit.
TOTAL CITY LEVY OVER FORTY MILLS
Street Supervisor Taylor Restgas and
Tneodere Galttar la Appointed
to tho Position New Fire
Limit Ordinance.
The arguments of President Rohrer and
other trustees of the public library carried !
the day and the city council yesterday aft
ernoon authorized the levy of a 3-mlll tax
for the purchase of a site for a perma
nent home for the library. With a suit
able lite assured the library' trustee hope
to secure a donation from Andrew Carne
gie sufficient to erect the building.
The members of the library board who
appeared before the council were Presi
dent Rohrer and Trustees Balrd, Cleaver,
Tyler and Stewart. la presenting the mat
ter to the council President Rohrer told
of the correspondence had with Mr. Car
negie and the hopes the board entertained
of receiving financial assistance from him
In the event of a suitable elte being as
sured. He explained that nothing could
be expected from Mr. Carnegie until such
a site was assured. The authority for the
D-mlll levy, he eald, would place the board
at once In a position where It could seek
Mr. Carnegie' assistance. Trustee Stew
art urged that the council take favorable
action on the request of the board. He
said he felt certain that no taxpayer
would begrudge $1 of the tax, a the pub
lic library was the only general educa
tional enterprise in the city, and that the
time would surely come, whether assist
ance was received from Mr. Carnegie or
not, 'that a library building would be
erected in Council Bluffs. Trustee Balrd
told the aldermen that even in the event
of the board falling to Interest Mr. Car
negie In the project it would not be aban
doned, he believed the citizen would
ultimately devise means whereby the li
brary could be Installed In a permanent
building of It own. He argued that the
library at present was situated In a build
ing' which he characterized a little better
than a tinder box, and that In the event
of a fire It would cost the city from $25.
000 to $30,000 to replace the book now
In It. He urged the necessity of a fire
proof building for the library. Dr. Cleaver
and Trustee Tyler also spoke on behalf of
tho tax proposition.
Two' Oppose Levy,
Alderman Casper opposed the levying of
the tax and suggested that at some future
date there would be need of a new city
building, which could also contain the li
brary. Alderman McDonald spoke In fa
vor of tho levy, holding that the public
library was the best public institution In
the city. When the vote was taken Al
dermen Caeper and Huber alone voted
against the levy.
With the 8-mlll tax for a library site
the levy for city purpose for 1902 will be
0 mill, exclusive of the J-mlll levy for
park purpose. ' 1 j . . .
The report of the finance committee rfee
ommended a levy ot IK mill for the
bridge fund, but Alderman Casper, chair
man of the committee on bridge and city
property, wa of the opinion that 1 mill
would be sufficient and the half mill was
cut off. leaving the levy for this fund tho
same as it was last, year. The levlea for
the other funds were left as recommended
by the committee. The levy as decided
upon will be a follow:

Supervisor Taylor Resign
.404
The resignation of Street Supervisor
Taylor was accepted, although stoutly op
posed by Alderman Tlnley, who wanted a
report from the officer before his resigna
tion (hold be accepted. Theodore Ouittar,
until recently deputy oil Inspector, was
elected to fill the vacancy. Alderman Tin
ley opposed the election of Gulttar on the
grounds that he wa worth between $50,
000 and $60,000, and that the position should
be given to a man needing it. Alderman
Casper t first suggested the re-election of
Taylor, insisting that he was the beat man
for the place, but meeting with no encour
agement, he urged the appointment of A.
E. Avery, former street, supervisor. - .
A lengthy discussion over the depleted
condition of th (treet and alley fund
followed. Alderman Casper bringing . the
matter up and atatlng that after the Au
gust pay roll had been paid tlere would be
leas than $1,000 in the fund for the re
maining seven months of the fiscal year.
He .said that acting as temporary chairman
of the committee he had stopped all work
except that performed In payment of poll
tax. At nls suggestion the street and
alley fund waa relieved of the payment
for a carload of lumber and this will be
paid out of the bridge fund. Alderman
Lougae, who at the last session of the
city council, -asked to be relieved of the
duties of chairman of th committee, ex
plained that no more money had been spent
up to date on the street thla year than
had been last year up to the same time,
but the fund had beea crippled L-y the re
fusal of Supervisor Baker to permit any
portion of th county road fund to be
turned over to th atreet and alley fund
a had .been done In former year and which
had been counted on when the annual ap
propriation were made.
Mayor Morgan announced that he had ap

UP TO THE ELKS TO HUSTLE
Large Anoint of Work Necessary to
Get Carnival Ground In
Shape.
There will have to be some tall hustling
done between thla and Monday afternoon to
get everything In readiness for the opening
of the Elks street fair and carnival. Des
pite the fact that an army of men Is work
ing, the need of more carpenters Is felt. The
large amount of building going on through
out the city ha placed a premium on car
penter and owner of booth were offering
all kind of money yesterday for a man who
could wield a saw and hammer.
The fencing in of the enclosure will be
begun this morning and by tonight tbe pub
lic will be excluded from the streets and
that portion ot the park reserved for the
fair. Thl will enable the men at work to
put on the finishing touches without hind
rance and afford protection to many of the
booths which are completed and In which
the exhibits have been Installed.
The committee yesterday secured another
free show In the shape of a trick bicycle
team. The contract with the Bosco snake
eater show was cancelled as the committee
decided It waa not the kind of entertain
ment It cared to place before tbe public.
The balloons which are sent up every even
ing from the roof of the clubhouse continue
to afford excitement for the small boy. Each
balloon contains an order for a season ticket
to the carnival and up to date of the fifty
balloon which have been sent up about half
have been heard from. Last night the wind
earrled aoveral of the ballnns over to East
Omaha.
Visitors to the carnival will be afforded an
opportunity to be Initiated Into the ancient
and honorable order of lobsters for a trifling
consideration. The degree will be conferred
by one ot the handsomest young women of
the city and Harry Searles will be the chief
mcgul ot thl booth. This promise to be
one of the amusing feature ot the street
fair.
The contest for the diamond ring ha not
fairly started yet although many of the
votes are being held back by tha friends of
the young women. It I expected .that by
thl evening quit a number ot vote will
be recorded.
