Statement Application for Independent

Commercial tlnb Cemanlttee Iaslata
the Mots la .Not Thelra, and In.
rllael t lie Sasplcloam of
' the Promotera.
It was stated yestorday that an ordinance
i granting a franchise for an Independent
telephone line In Council Bluffs would be
submitted at tho meeting of the city coun
cil next Monday. Beyond the announce
ment that such an ordinance would be
submitted little could be learned. The per
sons who will ask for the franchise are
not given out. F. V. Miller, chairman ol
the special committee appointed by the
Commercial club, which has In charge
the matter of organising a local independ
ent telephone company denied that ho or
his associates were back of the ordinance
announced to be introduced Monday night.
When seen yesterday afternoon Mr. Mil
ler said: "We have not yet formed a
company and are not therefore In a posi
tion to go before the elty council with any
franchise ordinance. I am not surprised
to learn that others are in the Held with a
proposed franchise ordlnanco, as I expected
there would be some one who would try to
forestall us. Of course with the little in-
lormatlon obtainable I cannot say whether
; the people who it is said will ask for a
franchise mean business or not. I am. In
clined to believe, however, that the ordl
ttance, (lf one la submitted to the city
council next Monday night, will be pre
sented by the Bell people or its friends,
with the object of shutting off competition
and forestalling ihe establishment of an
Independent telephone lino In thla city.
This, of course, is merely my private
opinion and is not based on any actual
Information Z have to that effect." -
Mr. .Miller' said his associates were get
ting matters in shape as .rapidly as pos
sible to go before the city council with a
franchise ordlnanoe. No such move, how
ever,' would be made until a local company
waa organised, steps to form which were
progressing satisfactorily. ' , '
At the city hall the report that an In
dependent telephone franchise ordinance
was to be presented Monday night caused
more or less discussion among city offi
cials. From what could be gathered from
the discussion yesterday, it Is evident that
the aldermen will carefully consider any
such ordinance before passing it. As one
member of the city oounoll said, "the com
pany seeking a franchise for an Independ
ent telephone line In this city will have to
give an absolute guarantee that such a nne
will be built, and that under no clrcum
staneetr will it sell out its franchise before
I for one will even consider such an ordi
nance." ' .;
. Several of the aldermen are InolineJ to
the opinion that the people generally -of
Council L'.u ft s do not favor two telephone
systems in the clt-j but would favor aome
plan whereby connection coold be secured
with' the independent companies operating
in this section without the establluhment of
a second exchange In 'the city.

:Through the efforts of A. M. Hutchin
son, James McRobert and other local
horsemen Council Bluffs ' wilt have in a
few. days as fine s. ' boulevard for driving
at any city in the west. The portion of
Fourth avenue between Twenty-third aud
Thirty-seventh streets, recently set aside
by i th,a city council by ordinance for :a
boulevard or speedway, has been graded
and leveled from Twenty-fifth to Thirty
fifth streets and Is now in excellent condi
tion for driving. .
. Work will be commenced today on the
twe blocks between Twenty-fifth and Twenty-third
streets, but nothing will be done
on, the two block between Thirty-fifth and
Thrty-seventh streets until fall. At the
rest of the avtnue these two blocks of the
thoroughfare are how occupied by gardens.
but as soon as the crops are harvested tho
street will be opened 'up and placed in the
lame condition a the rest. -'."The
driveway now is about fifty feet wide
and almost as level a a billiard table: As
tJie soli is mainly "gumbo" it makes an
excellent roadway and the rain has but
little, effect on It, providing it is given
proper attention. Nearly 1300 has already
been spent by private parties in ImDrovlna

two blocks - between Twenty-fifth and
Twenty-third streets. The city has been
asked to put In a culvert at Twenty-thlrd
street and to open the avenue at Twenty- j
first street and the committee on streets
and alleys has promised to, do so.
When entirely completed th driveway
will be something over on and a half
miles, In length. At present the avenue
offers a straight spin of something over
a mile. ..
Mr. Hutchinson and his sssoclates desire
to formally open the new driveway Mon
day evening and all owners of driving
horses are invlied to take a spin down the
speedway and test for themselves the' ex
cellent condition of the boulevard.
The ordinance setting this portion of

Talk of Vacatlaar Street.
Tha erection, of the Jaquith grain eleva
tor on South avenue Is responsible for a
renewal of the agitation to vacate this
thoroughfare and a portion of Woodbury
avenue to the Great Western railroad in
return for a strip of ground to- be donated
by the railroad and to b used as a thor
oughfare in place of that vacated.
'With the construction of its new switch
tracks to the elevator tha Great Wesjern
will have four tracks" crossing South
avenue, which resident in that vicinity
will have to cross to reach the downtown
district. It is now proposed to vacate this
portion of South avenue provided the Great
Western will in .return donate a strip
northeast of its tracks' Sufficient to make a
thoroughfare." By the opening of a new
struct between the track of the Great
Western and the bltnT farmer and other
could reach the clt'y without having to
cross any railroad tracks.
When the Great Western first built into
CounuU Bluffs a similar proposition wss
made, but certain property owners on
South avenuo protested, , claiming . that to
vacate this thoroughfare would shut them
oft fror? the public highway. As these
parties iTaye now dlaposed of their holdings
t Mr.-Jaquith for the -new elevator they
are ho longer "Interest, and if.the Great
Western Is willing the .elty council will, it
Is expeoted. pass the, necessary vscatton
ordinance so that Tthe-i. trade can be ef

ot the city and hi resignation demanded
for a variety of reasons, among others al
leged immorality and Intemperance. The
trouble has been coming on for mote than
a year. The district, which was largely
in what was formerly the town of North
Lies aioines. nan a gooa nign ocnooi. wnicn
nas reen maintained nrteen years. The
district wss consolidated with the larger
West, Des Moines district which now has
a magnificent high school building nnd an
expensive, school. The school board last
ysar attempted to abolish the North High
school and compel all to go to tho West
High. This failed, hut tha matter was nn
fsstra' at the election and those who fa
vored abolishing the North High won. Now
they are about to complete the abandon
ment over the protests of several thousand
residents of thst part of the city. Superin
tendent 8. H. Sheakley of the West dis
trict schools hsd all along favored abolish
ing the one high school. The residents
ot the north, part of the city lost all pa
tience and tonight held a big meeting at a
school house, where the personal character
of the superintendent was attacked fiercely
and a demand made for his resignation.
The north people declare they will carry
on the war for many years and If the
school Is abandoned they will work to re
store It. The metier ha engendered much
bitterness.
Rival Towns at War.
Two towns In Jackson county are at outs
over a matter of establishing a new station
on-tn Milwaukee road. The town of
Bpraguevillf, which is about two miles
from the Green Island cut-off of the Mil
waukee road, desires a station established
at th nearest point, and in response to a
petition the railroad commissioners went
there a short time ago to view the situa
tion. , Th town of Preston is on ths main
line of the same road about three miles
from where the station would be located
for Sprague villa.' Now the people of Pres
ton Join the railroad company In protest.
They assert that the establishment of a
new station will ruin their town. A $16,600
brick block has been commenced In Pres
ton and when the railroad commissioners
visited Sprsguevllle the work was stopped
and has not been resumed. The owners
say they will not build If thers Is to be a
new town. Preston people also threaten
to boycott the railroad company entire if
a new station Is established so near. The
railroad company object to putting a sta
tion on the cut-off bees us it is claimed
that ths line purposely missed small towns
and Is Intended for fst freight only and
no passenger train are run over It.
Twine Prices Take Tumble.
There Is much 111 feeling among dealer
In, binder twine in Iowa over the an
nouncement by the trust that prices would
bs Immediately dropped. Early in th
season It waa . announced that the price
to dealers for standard , twine would b
104 cents a pound. Now the price has
dropped and It is being sold retail for
10 cent in many parts of the state. The
drop has caused loss to many dealers,
though fanners are not complaining. "The
action was due to the efforts of the inde
pendent twine companies late in ths
season. ,.
