Council UlulTs A Omaha Electric RiUlrond com pany, which for a year psst has been figuring- oji constructing- a line between this city and Dos Molns. The proposed route ot the company's line runs through Trrynor and o(hr towns, which ore now Interested In another proposition to build an electric road to this city. It Is In order that the two propositions may ' not clash that the promoters of the Dps Moines line asked the Commercial club to consider the matter before the meeting- of tlie committee this afternoon at Treynnr, when preliminaries for mnklnfc' the survey of the proposed Car son electric line 'are to be arranged. Attorney 8. B. Wndsworth appeared be fore the Commercial club last night, rep resenting the Pes Moines, CounclUBluffs & Omaha Electric Railroad company. The men back of the proposed rond, he stated, nre President Polk of the , Dps Moines street railway, John Plpher. honker of Grant ; Juhi: R. Hlack, a Wealthy capitalist of drlswnld; Judge J. R. Reed of this city and Samuel M. Smith of Grant. ' The proposed lino will run through a ter ritory bounded on one side by the Burling ton and the other by the Rock Island road. It will pass through Pottawattamie, Cass. Montgomery. Adams, Adair, Warren and Polk counties. - l"p to data tha promoters have done but little, but they now propose to go ahead and organize a company with a 1100,0)0 cap ital for preliminary construction purposes. Quite a- block of stock, Mr. Wadsworth stated, had nlready been subscribed for. The cost of survey, he. estimated, would be In the neighborhood of lio.ono or perhaps less, as the line from Wlnterset to Des Moines had already been surveyed. During" the discussion It, leaked out that the proposed new brlcbre across the 'Mis souri, the oharter for which has already passed ' the tiouse of representatives and will come up at the next session before the senate. Is Indirectly If not directly con nected with the proposed Des Moines line. Mr. Wadsworth admitted that while the men back of the bridge proposition were distinct from those promoting the electric road between Omaha and Des Moines, the bridge would afford an Independent means of crossing the river In the "event of the company falling to make suitable arrange ments with the motor company.- No action was taken by the Commercial club last night,, as It was deemed best that the mntter be laid before the committee at the' meoting this afternoon In Treynor. Mr. Wadsworth wlU attend this meeting and lay the mntter before the committee and those Interested In the proposed electric road to Carson. The committee from Council Bluffs consists of If. It, Van Brunt, president of the Commercial club; Clem P. JCImball and C. A. Beno.
