CANNOT USE BAYLISS PARK
Board of Park Gommfoionert Declarei Itself
on the Proposition.
LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR LIBRARY SITE
Declaloa la Aanoanreil to Fight for
City's Right to Big Lake Park to
Coart of Last Resort
if Xceessary.
"Tbe Carnegie public library building
will never be erected In tbe center of Bay
lias park. Those who are agitating tho
park as a site for the new library build
ing may aa well understand this now as
later. The Board of Park Commissioner
will never give Its consent to any portion
of this park being utilized at a site for
the library." This waa the emphatic state
ment of the entire Board of Park Commis
sioners at the regular monthly session
yesterday afternoon.
In making this statement the board ad
mitted that the library trustees had not
up to data made any suggestion that they
had even considered Baylies park as a site
for the new building, but some of the pa
pels bad suggested this location. A pas
tor of 'one of tha churches, the commis
sioners said, bad in a pulpit utterance
made a statement to tbe effect that the
library ought not to be placed anywhere
else. Commissioner Graham was even
more emphatic than his conferees In stat
ing that tbe board would never consent
to tbe park being utilised as a sits tor
the new library. He said: "Few cities If
any possess) a prettier little park than ,
Council Bluffs has. In Bayllss park and It
would be a sacrilege to place a large build- i
Ing like the new library will be In the i
center of It. Tbe authority of this board !
In such matters Is absolute and the trus
tees of the public library will have to look
elsewhere for a location for the newbulld
Ine" President Peterson of the park board ex
pressed the opinion that the most suitable
site for the new library building waa the
W. H. M. Pusey homestead property at the j
southwest corner of Willow avenue and
Pearl street and his opinion was concurred j
In by Commissioner Schmidt. Commis
sioner Graham favojed the corner of First
avenue and Sixth street, occupied by tha
Flrat Baptist church.
The greater part of yesterday's session J
waa devoted by the board to a discussion
of the suit brought by Wright and Mayne
to secure possession of Big Lake park.
The board will fight tha case to the bitter
end. no matter what the expense may be,
lo protect the city's interest In the park.
The park fund for 1903 will amount to
something over 17,000 on a Z-mlil tax levy,
and tbo board stated yesterday that It
would expend every cent of this If neces
sary to fight the suit. Owing to this llti- ,
gatlon the board fctated It would be unable
to determine what Improvements, If any,
would be carried out this year In the dlf- I
ferent parka.
The winter salaries of the park police
men were Increased a follows: C. John

that account. In refutation of this state
ment he has come out In a letter resign

without fire protection tbe bouse could not
be saved. The loss will be about $1,000,
covered by Insurance. How It caught Is
not known as the family was not at home

by Inmates Memorial for
Jadge llnbbard.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Feb. 4. (Special.) The
supreme court of Iowa has fixed a limit
on tbe cost of funerals for men of lowly
tatlon. A Cedar Rapids undertaker
earned Foley bad been called to take
charge of the funeral of one Edward Lynch,
who had been a Janitor' at a railroad sta
tion, but who left property valued at about
$5,000, with no relatives. The undertaker
thought It was a good time to have a big
funeral and he' sent In a bill for $528, which
the administrator refused to pay, because
the expenses were extravagant and foolish,
considering the deceased's estate and his
social standing and station In life. Tbe
undertaker got a judgment for $455. Tha
supreme court today declared that even
this was excessive and that It waa evident
the undertaker had given the deceased the
best he had without regard to expense
merely because ho believed nobody would
complain, as there were no known rela
tives. The court aald: "The Idea that a
man dying leaving an estate of less than
$5,000--should have a casket costing $425
and that his estate should be burdened with
funeral expenses amounting to $526 la lit
tle short of ridiculous. Courts will not per
mit such an Injustice to be perpetrated,
no matter what the findings of the Jury."
Undertaker Foley is given the option of
scaling hi bill to $150 and paying all the
costs of the appeal or having another try
at it with the jury.
Escapes .lodgment for Dnmao-ea.
The court also reversed the caae of Sulli
van against The Rock Island Railroad
Company, from Guthrie county, where tho
plaintiff secured a judgment of $7,500
against the company on account of injuries
to bis spine by falling as he waa getting
off a train. The attorney for the plaintiff J
made improper statements to the Jury In
opening tho case, referring Indirectly to
the enormous income of the defendant com
pany, and, although tbe trial court ruled
this out as objectionable, the supreme
court says It was prejudicial. There were
other errors and new evidence after tho
trial was aiifflclent on which to aecure a
second trial.
Conrt Decisions.
The following were tho decisions of the
court rendered today:
Michael O'Mella against M. C. Hoffmeyer
