NEWS OF INTEREST FROM IOWA
COUNCIL BLUFFS
PARK BOARD IS HELD LIABLE
City Attorney Bays it Ihould for Walks
Along Eayliss Park.
RAILROADS ASKED TO PAY FOR DREDGING
Government HlprapplnsT Above Illi
nois Central Bridge Reported to
Be In Good Condition, bnt
Banks Elsewhere t utting.
That the park board should, out of tha
funds levied for ths maintenance of the
city parks, py tor the cement sidewalk
constructed on the east side of Uayliss park
and not the city, Is the opinion of City
Solicitor Snyder, handed down at the meet
ing of the city council last night
The natter was referred to the judiciary
committee, with Instructions to use Its best
and most diplomatic efforts to Induce the
park commissioners to recede from their
position and to consent to tho payment of
the assessment out of the park funds. In
view of the fact that the city's general
Improvement fund la already heavily over
drawn. A resolution was adopted calling upon
the several railroads whose bridges cross
Indian creek to bear their proportionate
cost of dredging the creek from Eighth
street to Sixteenth avenue or else to at
once raise their bridges five feet above the
present levee grade line. The cost of the
vork is to be apportioned according to the
number of bridges each of the railroads
have across the creek. The city engineer
estimates that about 70.000 yard of dirt
will have to be taken out Copies of the
resolution are to be sent to each of the
railroads Interested.
City Engineer Etnyre reported that he
had Investigated the government rlprap
plng west of tha Illinois Central bridge
which was said to be washing away and
that he had found about one-quarter of a
mile west of the bridge a space of from
100 to 160 yards where apparently there
nevef had been any protection work and
where the river was slightly washing into
the bank. Except for this he had found
the ripiapplno; in good condition. . He sug.
gented that the aldermen Inspect the place
themseles.
The Sout'i Side Improvement club,
through its president, T. A. Brewlek, ex
tended its thanks for the new fire house
in that section of the city and requested
that two alarm boxes be placed south of
Sixteenth avenue, the location to be desig
nated by the fire chief. The request was
referred to the commlttro on fire and light.
A protest from residents on North Thlrty
seventH street against the city dump being
located In that vicinity was referred to the
city marshal and Board of Health.
Residents of Mornlngslde and other hill
side additions petitioned that no contract
be entered Into with the water works com
pany unless they were accorded water for
domestic and Are protection purposes.
J. O. Bradley, as a committee from the
First Ward Improvement club, asked that
an arc light be placed on Harrison street,
and the request was referred to the com
mittee on fire and light.
Barrls A BeBley asked that they be re
imbursed for such work; as they had done
prior to the council annulling their con
tract for grading Franklin avenue. The
understanding of the council was that no
work had been done when the contract wan
annulled, at Mr. .Besley'a consent, and the
matter was referred to the committee of
the whole to investigate.
It was decided to meet as a committee
of the wKole Wednesday afternoon. The
council adjourned to Monday, March 20. . .
The new docket Is now In the hands of the
printers.
STREETS TO BE C LEASED AT 0CE
Shovel Brlarade Necessary to Care for
Winter's Aernmnlatlon.
The paved streets are to be cleaned In ad
vance of the arrival of the automobile com
bination street sweeper and sprinkler which
the city council has authorized the com
mittee on streets and alleys to lease. In
addition to a force of men and wagons
which Commissioner Avery started out yes
terday morning another gang Was em
ployed yesterday flushing Washington ave
nue. Although the appropriation for the streets
and alleys department was exhausted sev
eral months ago, there Is something over
32.000 which has accumulated In the road
fund and this will now be expended on the
paved streets. Mayor Macrae Is determined
that the city shall have clean streets no
matter what the cost, and In this he has
the approval of the business men. The
winter's accumulation of mud Is to be
cleaned oft and then It Is believed the auto
sweeper will be able to keep the streets in
decent condition during th remainder of
the season until snow files again.
It Is not expected, however, that tho
auto sweeper will be of much practical
use on such streets where after a heavy
rain dirt will be washed down from the
hill streets onto them. This will have to
be cleared away by wagons and shovels.
Mayor Macrae and other city officials are
determined that beginning with the new
fiscal year better disposition shall be mode
of the streets and alleys fund and that the
entire appropriation shall not be expended
within the first two or three months, as
was the case last year.
The streets and alleys committee has en
tered into negotiations with the manufac
turers of the auto street sweepers and It Is
expected the machine will be here In about
a month or possibly earlier.

E5FORCISQ VACCINATION ORDER
Board of Health Indicates What Con
atltntea Compliance.
The Board of Health last evening de
cided it was now up to the Board of Ed
ucation to enforce the order - regarding
vaccination and that on Friday of this
week it should determine what . children
had furnished proper certificates of vac
cination. All children falling to furnish
the necessary certificates must be ex
cluded from school and the same rule is
to apply to the teachers and others con
nected with the school
The board also decided that "Internal
vaccination" would not suffice and that
a certificate of vaccination by scarifica
tion alone would entitle the child to re
main in school.
In cases where the primary vaccination
did not "take" the certificate must show
that the child had been revacclnated.
Attorney Hewitt appeared before the
board on behalf of the owner of the prop
erty at 807 West Broadway with a re
quest that the city ordinance be modified
In his case and that he be permitted to
fill an old vault and dig a new one along
side. The board turned down the re
quest in view of the fact that Mr. Hewitt
had been arrested by orders of the chief
of police for violating the ordinance and
that his hearing was set for this morning;

Decrease In Cases for Trial.
Tha bar docket for the March term of
district court, which opens Tuesday, March
14, shows a heavy decrease In the number
of cases when compared with the present
term. There are 162 equity and 218 law
esses, a total of 381, against 650 in this
term's docket. Seventy-one new casea
have been filed for the March term. The
decrease Is due to the fact that over 100
cases which have been burdening the equity
and law calendars have been stricken off
as "dead timber" by order of the court.
