QUESTIONS TITLE OF CITY Owners of Abutting Property Laj Claim to What Was Onoe Bed of Big Lake. CITY RELIES UPON GRANT BY CONGRESS Contestants Assert That Congress Had So Power to Make the Orant as Title Was In Trlvate rartles. The right and title of the city of Coun cil Bluffs to Big Lake and the land which originally formed the bed of the lake are to be attacked In the courts by owners of the adjoining property. The first of the suits attacking the city's title will be filed In tho district court today by Oeorge H. Maynn and George R. Wrlrht. tnint rnr. of a considerable tract of land adjoining the lake. The piece of land Is known as "The lsiano. The action will be to quiet In the plain tiffs, as against the city, the title to the middle of the lake on the rrmmda that the owner of the adjacent property owns me Deo, or an inland lake to the center thereof. If successful In this action Mima and Wright will secure the title to a large iraci 01 iana Detween their property and the lake which formerlv formed nnrt nt k. bed of the lake and which the city now claims ownership or. In the event of Mayne and Wright wfhnlng the suit. It Is under stood that the other owners of nronertv ad jacent to the lake will bring similar ac tions. The piece of water known as the Big Lake formerly was a part of the bed of the Missouri river. It became an Inland lake when the river changed Its muru. n June 9, 1880, an act of congress granted to the city of Council Bluffs the title to the meandered lake, known as the Big Lake ior puDiic use, resort and recreation." It Is from this act of enncrrtt that iw lays claim to the lake and the land origin ally forming the bed of the lake. Since the city acquired the title to the lake by act of congress the piece of water year Dy year become smaller until today there are nearlv ion . land, which originally formed the bed of the lake. Big Lake and the adjoining prop erty la classed as one of the city parks and is under the control and management of the Board of Park Commissioners, which has for several years maintained a watch man to look after the property, part of which has been protected with a fence. The value of the land is problematical. Messrs. Wright and Mayne contend that congress had no authority to give the city title to the lake, at in fact it belonged to the owners of the land adjoining it. They will also bring a separate action to restrain the city from collecting muni cipal taxes on their tract adjoining the lake, and which la tint inM. .v. limits, on the grounds that it is held solely niitimurii purposes and receives no benefit from the cltr uimiiiuir.ii.. m... ... .null, X UKJ win also sue to recover the amount paid """" luo '"" nve years as city taxes.

Duffy WORRIED ABOUT TEACHERS Superintendents Appealed to to Eelai on Examination and Inorease Supply. STATE OFFICIAL OBJECTS TO THE PLAN Says School Boards Shonld Pay Wages Sufficient to Keep Competent People In the Ranks of Teachers. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 25. (Special.) The problem of how to supply the schools of Iowa with teachers who are competent has already become as important as the other problem of how to secure to the teachers wages that will Induce them to stay In the profession a reasonable length of time. The complaint is general In the state that there are not enough teachers available to keep the many schools going. County superin tendents are importuned to Invite teachers from other counties or other states to fill out the quota The fact is that the Induce ments ara ao -ailght that teachers are al ways ready to, get out and engage in other labors more remunerative. Miss Elsie Perry, county" superintendent of Howard county, wrote the superintendent of public Instruction asking what her rights and duties were In a case where there are not enough teachers in the county certificated to teach, and the demand is that she Issue certificates to persons known to be Incom petent In order that the schools may be filled. The reply of Superintendent Barrett applies as well to all counties and Is as fol lows: We think the statute does not Impose upon the county superintendent the duty of firovidlng the required number of compe ent teachers. It Is officially required of him that he examine applicants at stated tlmea as to their "competency In and ability to teach," statutory subjects, and "If the examination Is satisfactory and the applicant Is of good moral character," a certificate to that effect shall be issued. In view of this plain provision of law, we think the county superintendent should positively refuse to license the Incompetent. Teachers to Get Rates. The State Teachers' association has been having trouble getting reduced rates from the railroad companies under as favorable terms as usual. At recent state meetings the Western Passenger association bat granted the reduced rates on the certifi cate plan on condition that holders of cer tificates pay the joint agent 25 cents for signing each certificate. In other years the association had paid the Joint agent directly, paying him about $17 for two days' work. Under the plan proposed tha teach ers would pay him about $400 for two ar three days' work. The committee ia charge objected to this. State Superintendent Bar rett and Superintendent Sheakley of the West Des Moines schools, went to Chicago on Monday and Interviewed the railroad men, aBklng them to advance the time for the sale of the regular holiday excursion tickets so they could be bought on Decem ber 30 as well as on the two or three follow ing days. If this could be done there would be no need of special rates tor the teachers' association, which begins In Des Moines the 31st of December. Their conference was successful. This will obviate the necessity of having the certificate plan for the teach ers. First Parole from Cherokee.
