DIG UP CONDUIT ORDINANCE
Telegraph and Motor Companies Will HaAs
a Fight Agaimt It '
NOT MUCH LIKELIHOOD OF ITS PASSING
Telegraph . Company Offers to Com
promise r Pnttlnsj Its Wire In
Cables In the Heart of
the City.
' The proposed ordinance ' requiring the
placing of all telegraph and motor feed
wires In underground conduits within a pre
scribed area In the business portion of the
city, which has been in the hands of a spe
cial committee for some time, Is to be
brought up at the regular September meet
ing of the city council. The companies af
fected by it will make a strong fight
against It and there is very little likelihood
of It passing. . .
The Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies have notified the committee that
they could not stand the expense of putting
their wires under ground and contend thai
such a demand In the city of the site of
Council Bluffs Is unreasonable. At the same
time the Western, Union is willing to com
promise the matter by placing Its wires In
cables. This would do away with a large
Dumber of overhead wires.
The motor company has not yet com
municated with the committee on the sub
ject but Its attorneys yesterday notified
Chairman Lovett of the- committee that
the matter would be attended to at the
next meeting of the board of directors. The
attorneys, however, expressed the opinion
that the company would not be prepared
at this time to place Its feed wires under
ground bs to do so would not only ne
cessitate a large expenditure, but would be
extremely inconvenient.
Alderman Lovett, chairman of the spe
cial committee having the ordinance In
hand, has given the question of under
ground conduits considerable Investigation.
He finds that there Is no olty In the west
where the telegraph and motor companies
have been compelled to place their wires
underground. Even In a city of the site
of St. Louts no such demand, has been
made upon the telegraph companies. In a
number of cities the telephone wires have
been placed underground for the reason
that the service Is much Improved thereby.
In Chicago the telegraph wires are In un
derground conduits only In a very limited
area. Telegraph wires have been put un
derground In New Tork and Cleveland and
a few other large cities, but nowhere In
the west.
Alderman Lovett Is of the opinion that the
city ought to be satisfied for the present
with having succeeded In placing the tele
phone wires underground and ought not to
Insist on the telegraph companies or the
motor company In placing their wires In
conduits. He believes It would work an
unnecessary hardship on the companies.

The Board, of Education yesterday morn
ing, after a further- protracted discussion
of ths matter, decided that it was not
prepared at this time to Install an In
structor of manual training In the- city
schools and accordingly rejected the propo
sition of A. II. Adams. The board decided
that for the present it would go slow In
the 'matter of. manual training la the
schools snd that the finances prohibited
any great expense In this direction.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Aug. SO. (Special.) The
Iowa Humane society Is preparing to urge
before the next legislature of Iowa a bill
that will put "baby farms" under some
state control or supervision, probably under
indirect auspices of the Board of Control
or a special commission. It has been found
that there are several Institutions operating
here and elsewhere in the state where
babies are taken for care on pay when first
born, and that these institutions are usually
so conducted that Infants are practically
murdered. Developments have recently
been brought out here to the effect that
Infants are deliberately exposed so that
they will become 111 and die, and even
where this Is not done they are so poorly
cared for that death results In many
cases. The matter has caused a great deal
of trouble for the Humane society and
those In charity work, and a committee
will prepare and present to the legislature
a bill for the regulation of these Institu
tions and making it a penal offense to
engage In "baby farming" except under
the legal regulations.
Survey to Greenfield Completed.
The survey of the new Greenfield ex
tension of the Rock Island railroad from
Wlnterset was completed today and the
engineers returned to Wlnterset to begin
the work of setting the grade stakes along
the entire line. The new route to Green
field runs far south of the route that waa
surveyed and light of way secured last
year. The Rock Island agents are pur
chasing right of way and paying cash for
the same and asking no tax aid at any
time. The right of way purchased In Wln
terset has been an expensive one. It Is
expaoted that there will be some work
done in grading In the fall.
The railroad commissioners will In a few
days fix a date for a bearing of the com
plaints on the part of ths people living
along the Slbley-Oowrie line of the Rock
Island because of the taking off of the
passenger train. They are left with no
other railroad accommodations than a
mixed train. Ths same state of affairs
exists along the branch from Eldon to
Keokuk where the regular passenger train
has been abandoned.
