COMPLAINT AGAINST THE PLUMBERS Tear Ip Paving Without Taking- Oat Permits and Neglect to liar It Restored In Its Original Condition. A resolution calling for the paving ot Ninth street from Broadway to First av enue was Introduced st the meeting ot the city council last night, final action on which will be had November t. It was at first proposed to havs this block paved with brick on concrete base, but as It was doubtful whether, owing to the lateness of the season, concrete could be laid this year, specifications were sdopted providing for either concrete or Council Bluffs brick bste. This Improvement Is desired by the Grooeweg & Shoentgen company, whose new warehouse at the corner of Ninth and Broadway Is Bearing completion, and the Illinois Central and Union Pacific Railroad companies. The street at present Is al most Impassable owing to the heavy haul ing consequent on the building of the Groneweg ft Shoentgen company's ware bouse.

Attention was called to the provisions of the ordinance govern ing the matter which require that before any paving is torn the company doing the work must secure a permit and deposit with the city clerk a sum sufficient to pay Bluffs and vicinity at the union services to be held Thanksgiving day. She explained that by this she did not mean the regular collection to be taken up at that service as tbe ministers have already .decided that will be donated to the Associated Charities for the benefit of the creche on Glen avenue.
