With the induction of Mayor Dr. Donald Macrae, Jr., and the new city council Into office Inst night Council Bluffs started In for two years of democratic rule. Mayor Macrae, after stating that owing to the Importunities of applicants for po sitiona on the police force and other city departments, he had bad but little time to prepare an address, said In part: I wish to recommend to the members of this council that they be most careful in their selection of sidewalk Inspector. Eight thousand dollars have been set aside by the retiring council as the maximum to be ex pended on streets and alleys. The com mittee on streets and nlleys must be ex tremely careful with this small allowance and be most conservative In Ita use. Five times this amount Is necessary to keep our beautifully paved streets clean and In re pair. Twice this amount could be used to good advantage In the repair of the atreets in the Fifth and Sixth wards alone. Some means must be found to remedy this evil of dirty streets. It Is neither good for the eyes, nose or the health. My greatest ambition as mayor of our otherwlne beautiful city Is that you co-operate with me In every way to bring about a reform in the atreet subject. Every cit izen between the ages of 8 and 80 should put his shoulder tn the wheel and do his share In this direction. In this connection I also request that you be moHt careful In the selection of poll tax collector and Instruct him to make a care ful canvass of the city and Insist on cash collections where It Is possible. It Is un fortunately a habit of many citlxens to ap point persons totally disqualified to wprk out their poll tax; men who themselVes are exempt from manual lubor on account of Infirmities. Hundreds of dollnra worth of work are expended in this manner and practically thrown away which might be used in the employment of competont work- The sewage system, along with Indian creek, deserves the strictest attention by the committee to be appointed for this pur pose. It Is my Intention to Instruct the rhief of tin II re to enforce the regulations pertaining to the subject of throwing of refuse Into the bed of the creek. The light committee Is requested to use every menns to bring about a better qual ity of gas. I would recommend that the fire chief be required to Inspect the public halls, thea ters, churches, etc., with a view to pre venting catnstrophies similar to the Iro quois Chicago theater disaster. He should also be required to Inspect the cellars of all business buildings at least once in three months. I sm Informed that the accumu lation of boxes, excelsior, paper, etc.. In these places Is a great menace to the safety of property by virtue of the inflam mable character of such material. , At an earlv day I shall call yottf atten tion to the question of rates for the aup ply of water to the city and Its inhabitants by the water works company. Thia Is a very Important matter to the people of our cltv and one that must be met and satis factorily settled at an early date. And to accomplish this purpose we must take this matter up In time so that if there can be no satisfactory adjustment of the rates to be charged to both the cMy and the pri vate consumer then this council shall have Ample time, prior to the expiration of the clty'a contract for fire hydrants, to take such measures as will bring about the de sired result. The democratic members of the council have upon them a duty to per nrm in thl reiinert and are bound by the expressions of their party, endorsed by the people of this city at the late election,, to use every effort to secure such results. , Appointments by Conncll. These are tha appointmenta made by the new city council: ' Cltv Clerk Louis Zunnuehlen. Chief of Fire Departml-Uarlee Nichol son. .-! Street Commissioner A. E. Avery. City Physician Dr. M. A.

Many weie unable even to get into the builu'ng, no great waa the crowd After the mlnutee ef tha Saturday night aeaslon were read and approved Mayor Morgan read hie farewell address, saying in part: - " - The law requiring the city's expenses to be kept within Its revenues has been well otscrved, aud tUe tscaX J tax cloaca wiui quite an additional surplus In the treasury. wh.n 1 aaaumeri this riffle two veara SSO, our total bonded Indebtedness was lf0. 5(10. ' Last year Ili.SnO of these bonds were paid. 34.500 were called in, but were not presented for payment. .This amount, added to the SJ9.0Q0 pnll the year previous, makes a total of $44. WW paid during the two vears. This leaves a balance of out standing indebebtedness of $.145.70(1. There Is now In the hsnds of the treasurer a balance In all funds of $7.010. estimated, leaving a net indebtedness of $J73,7W. yl,h no floating debt and all warranta paid on firesentatlon, thia makes an excellent show ng, and Is a record of which you may well feel proud. With this record main tained for a few years, and with the sub stantial amount which should be, and un doubtedly will be. saved to the city "hen the new water contract Is made, It will not be long until our city will be In a splendid financial condition, and then our people ran be relieved of some portion of the heavy burden of taxation. Owing to the numerous and heavy raina of the last year, but a comparatively small amount of street Improvements were made. There were 22,000 square yards of brick paving laid. leaving some bi.wn square yards contracted for, but not com pleted. With the amount paved the year previous, this makes a total of 74.000 square ysrds for the two yeare. A considerable . n ihu Mivlnr wss laid on the hill streets, which wss a much to be desired improvement, thereby preventing the wash- Ing or large quanmire i muu the lower paved streets, with a consequent heavy expense for cleaning. There have been built during the last vear 2.770 feet of aewers, all of which had been petitioned for and were badly needed. Matters In tha Coarts. Charles E. Armour, a former Broadway saloonkeeper, waa arrested yesterday on a bench warrant, the grand Jury having re turned an indictment against him on the charge of uttering a forged inatrument.

The local authorities have secured a requisition for Church, who kipped town after the check deal and Is now inder arrest In Omaha. Richard Devaney, against whom the grand Jury returned an indictment for breaking into a ITnlon Pacific car a few nights ago and stealing a case of cart ridges and other goods, was arrested yes terday.

Will Inrrenae Acreage of Wheal. SIOVX FALLS, 8. V.. April .(Special ) Wheat seeding Is now In progress In various psrts of South Dakota, and by the close ot this week will be general throughout the agricultural portion of the state. There seems to be little question that the acreage devoted to wheat and oats will be materially Incleasrd over that of last year. As a reason for this Intention to Increase the wheat acreage the farmers point to the comparatively high price of the two cereals, and express the opinion that th war In the east will he of long duration and perhaps extend to other pow ers, thus creating a demand for American wheat. Should this prove to be the case, raisers of feed, hogs and cattle also ex pect to be benefited and are preparing to devote more attention to these branches. A Good Medicine for Children.
