COUNCIL BLUFFS
COUNTY UNWILLING TO PAY
Expense of Tormer Ditch Proceeding
Likelj to Proroke ControTersj.
COMES UP ON QUESTION OF TAX REFUND
Effort la to Be Made to Compel Rela
tives of Iasaae Patleata to Par
Expease of Kreplsg Them
t the Asjlom.
The Board of County Supervisors is now
confronted with the question of who shall
pay the preliminary expenses Incurred two
years ago when the Harrison-Pottawattamie
county drainage ditch district was
established by Joint actions of the boards
of the two counties At that time the
three proposed ditches were surveyed, the
contracts awarded and the assesment for
the cost of the improvement made against
the property benefited. Later the supreme
court declared the drainage law unconstitu
tional. This made the proceedings of the
two counties In connection with the es
tablishment of the drainage district null
and void. Since the law was amended the
matter was again taken up and the applica
tion for the re-establlshment of the drain
age district Is now pending before the
boards of the two counties.
The question came before the Board of
Supervisors yesterday ln the application of
Hans Schraeder of Crescent township to
be refunded the assessment levied against
his property for the proposed ditches,
amounting to $36.48. which he pakl ln Feb
ruary, li4, together with his other taxes.
He asked that the refunding be made on
the grounda that there was no law for the
assessment of the tax and that if there was
a law It has since been declared null and
void.
As soon as the application was read by
the clerk Chairman Brandes suggested that
It be rejected. "It will never do for us
to allow this claim. The county has no
funds out of which to pay it and the
sooner the question is taken into court
the better. We want this question settled
by the court." he said. Colonel FV- r was
of the opinion that the county had' T light
to Schraeder's money and that it ought
to be refunded to him, seeing that the Im
provement for which the assessment was
made was never carried out.
Claim Finally Rejected.
County Auditor Cheyene reported that
there was no money ln the ditch fund and
that such of the assessments aa had been
paid and the funds derived from the sale
of some of the ditch bonds had all been ex
pended ln the preliminary expenses. Chair
man Brandes took the position that the
county should not be held liable, as the
board at the time the preliminary expenses
were Incurred had acted entirely ln con
formity with then existing law. He said
he was of the opinion that the parties
who petitioned for the establishment of
the drainage ditch and who put up a
bond should be held liable. He objected
to Schraeder's claim being referred to the
county attorney and suggested that the
proper thing would be to reject It and
then undoubtedly the question would be
taken into the courts. His suggestion
finally carried and the claim was rejected.
The feeling of the board appeared to be
that this particular claim had been filed
as a "feeler" and that If allowed others
of a similar kind would follow.
The board granted the application of the
Dodge Light Guards to have the taxes on
Its new armory remitted. Colonel Baker
alone protesting. Colonel Baker contended
thnt there was not a particle of law to
warrant the board ln remitting the taxes
and that If It did so'lt might be enjrined by
some taxpayer.
Relatives Mast Pay l'p.
A report of the board's visit last month
to the state asylum at Clartnda was filed.
One result of the visit l that the board ha
arrived at the conclusion thp.t many of the
patients at Clarinda and In St. Bernards
hospital have property or relatives who are
legally bound to support them and who
have ample means to do so, and that steps
should be taken to have the county reim
bursed for the expense It has been to with
these patients. After some discussion the
county auditor was appointed special agent
for the county to make all such collections
he possibly could.
Bills for the care of county patients at
St. Bernard's hospital were allowed as fol
lows: February, 4t patients, $706.60; March,
SO patients, $S06.50.
The sheriff was allowed his bill of $30.64
for conveying Mlas Nettle Lear, Insane, t
her home in Lebanon, O., the county having
brought suit against the woman's guardian
to recover the amount. .
Supervisors Bullls and Brandes were ap-
i pointed a special committee to examine the
Judgment dockets at Council Bluffs and
Avoca as to collection of Judgment for
costs in old cases made by F. L. Reed while
clerk of the district court.
It was decided to purchase an adding
machine for the use of the county offices.
The bid of the William Gilbert company
for repairs to the county Jail was rejected.
As to the manner In which the proposed re
pairs of the Jail will be carried out will be
determined by the board today.

Knocks Firemen's Tournament.
Fire Chief Nicholson received yesterday
from E. E. Parsons of Marlon, president of
the Iowa State Firemen's association, a
clipping from a Cedar Rapids paper which
in the opinion of Mr. Parsons Is Intended
to throw discredit on the coming tourna
ment The article In the Cedar Rapids
paper states that the department of that
city will not. It Is expected, be represented
at the tournament, one reason being "be
cause to do so would do themselves an in
justice by competing with other depart
ments which, it is said, maintain horses
and apparatus especially for tournament
purposes." Continuing, the article asserts
"that ln some Iowa cities blooded horses
are purchased and trained for no other
purpose than to compete In tournaments,
and In fact. It Is said, that Jn some In
stances these horses are never used to draw
the apparatus to fires."
President Parsons ln his letter requests
Chief Nicholson to send him a statement
signed by himself and the mayor showing
that the regular working teams of the de
partment alone will be entered In the
tournament Mr. Parsons states that he In
tends to secure similar statements from
the other large cities of the state and then
he will prepare an answer to the article ln
the Cedar Rapids paper to which he takes
exception.
