WATER WORKS BILL PASSED
Council Befniei to En'.er'.ain Proportion
from the Wa'er Company.
DISPUTE OVER SIDEWALK CONTRACT
Wlckham Itefoses to Sign It with the
Penalty Clause Attnehed and
Finally Carries Ills Point
and It la Left Oat.
The city council laat night pa'"'l ne
ordinance providing for the municipal own
ership of the waterworks either by pur
chase' of the existing plant or the construc
tion of a new system. Aldermen Olson and
Maloney voted against the measure. The
ordlnnnce. Which had pitted to its third
reading at the previous session, was taken
up section by section and several slight
changes made In some if the snctlnns. The
most Important change made M to in
crease the Interest rate on the bonds to be
issued to pay for the plnnt from I to 5 per
cent. This change was made at the 'n
stance of Alderman Weaver, necause of the
"uncertainty of the money market."
Jut prior to the ordinance being brought
up Alderman Olson, ohnlrman of the stand
ing committee on waterworks, handed th"
city. clerk a communication from the water
works company and aked that It be read.
To this Alderman Weaver objected and
Insisted on the ordinance being Tead first
and he carried his point. When at the
conclusion of the reading he moved the
final passage of the ordinance Attorney
Wright on behnlf of the waterworks com
pany asked that the communication be real
before the motion be put. To this Alder
man Weaver, supported by Alderman Tin
ley, refused to listen and he called for the
motion on the passage of the ordinance.
Attorney Wright Protest.
Attorney Wright protested ot what he
termed the arbitrary and unheard of action
on the part of the council In refu-'-g to
read the communication, which had n 'tar
ing on the question before the' court- I and
charged Alderman Weaver with a." mpt
lng to gag everything and everyone who
did not think exactly as lie- did. Mayor
Macrae took a hand In the discussion and
claimed that the communication was
handed' In at that time merely to obstruct
the passage of the ordinance without which
the council could not take - any steps to
wards settling (he waterworks question.
Attorney Wright denied this and stated
that authority from the eastern owners of
the waterworks to make the proposition
embodied In the communication had only
been received that day.
Alderman Weaver Insisted that the com
munication could not be Introduced at that
time and Inslster on his motion being put.
Mayor Macrae ruled the communication
was out of order and on the motion being
put, the ordinance passed' by a vote of 6
to 1 .
Communication from Water Company.
The communication from the waterworks
company was as follows:
The Council Bluffs City Waterworka
company in view of the provisions of ihe
proposed ordinance to pruvlde for the ac
quisition by the city of Council Blurts, by
purchaae.or erection of a syatem of water
works and for other purposes, respectfully
represents that said water company haa
nevef att fny time paid any dividends- or
profits iu-any form to H stockholders or
promoter
The company offers to sell all It prop
erty to the city for rash at such price
as may be agreed upon by three thoroughly
competent hydraulic englneera of good
standing In their profession; ona to be
chosen by the city, one by the water com
pany and the third by these two. If the
aale la finally consummated under such
arbitration, the cily and the water com
pany to bear the expense of the arbltrar
tlon In equal shares. But should either
the city or the water company fail or re
fnae fur inv reason to abide by such arbi
tration the one so falling or refusing to
bear all of such expense.'
If the city is unwilling or unable to ac
cept thla proposition the water company
respectfully requests that the council au
thorise one of Its commllees to confer with
the water company to see wuemei mu
tn.i imprtnniiiiiff can be reached for an
extension of the company's franchise upon
condition that fair una reaaonaoio ran-,
for public and private consumption of
water be fixed by the ordinance extend
ing the franchise, or In such other manner
as the council may deem beat, and upon
the further eonaition nun -
have the right to buy the water plant at
its fair value at any time during the Hie
pi the franchise.
Dispute Over iiarwsix i.Dirn.
In the early part of the session consid
erable time waa apent In a dlapute with
Contractor Wlckham over the contract
for brick sidewalks. Wlokham refused to
accept the contract" If a penalty clause
for not completing, the work by tne tune
specified, ' January 1M6, waa Inserted. In
signing the contract Wlckham had erased
this clause and this Mayor Macrae In
sisted should not have been done.
"Well, lt'a no use talking about It, bo-
cause I won t sign tt. I don t ask for any
hotter contract than anyone else, but
won't accept a worse one and tnai is an
there Is to It," retorted Wlckham.
T motion to omit the penalty clause
was lost by a vote of 6 to .. Then It was
moved that a penalty of 1 cent per lineal
foot uncompleted be Inserted In the con- ;
tract and thla brought Wlckham again to
hla feet with the declaration that It waa
no use inserting the clause aa he would
never sign the contract. Wlckham's elo
quence prevailed, for when the motion to
Insert the penalty was put It failed to
carry by a vote of. I for and. 6 against.
The mayor was then Instructed to sign the
contract wtlhout any penalty attached.
Little Chance tn Favlna;.
Only the alley weat of Sixth street be
tween Fifth and Seventh avenues was cut
out of the paving contract wltli- Wlckham.
City Attorney Snyder suggested that Park
avenue from Pomona street to the park en
trance be cut out on account of the large
amount of the cost the city would have to
bear, but the aldermen declined to do so.
The mayor was Instructed to sign the
contract under which Wlckham Is to com
plete the paving of several streets by
November 22, although there- Is no penalty
attsched lf he falls to do so. .
On recpmmendatlon of the committee of
the whole It was decided not to order the
laying of a sewer on Vorhls street on ac
count of the expense It would be to the
city, owing to the abutting property being
unable to bear tha entire coat. The aauio
recommendation waa made as to the C.x
teeulh strevt sewer, but on several- resi
dents tn that portion of the city urging
the need of auch an Improvement the
matter was referred to the city engineer
for further Investigation.
. The request of property owners on Mad
laon -avenue, ordered paved, that tha road
way be reduced from thirty to twenty-six
feet was referred to the committee of
the whole.

Juvenile court law, Mrs. Isaac Hlllls, wife
of the ex-mayor, went before the 'cltjr
council today and said that unless some
thing was done at once the Juvenile court

children anil provides that they cannot be
kept In Jail or penitentiaries, it Is held
that the law cannot be given a proper ex
periment without a home. Mrs. Hlllls said
eome very sharp things to the council to
day and said that the supervisors would
refit Tracey home If the city would ex
tend the l"ase for six months; that lawless
ness was growing with the children because
they could not be detained and that the
blame for this was on the city council for
not acting sooner.

Mt'BKOOEE, I. T., Aug; fl -The chief
taincy of the five civilised frlbes met here
In convention today to declare for separate
statehood for Indian Territory, aided and
abetted by white residents of Indian Ter
ritory, who for both business and senti
mental reasons are opposed to a union with
Oklahoma. This Id' tha first time the tribal
cltlaens of Indian Territory ever assembled
for the purpoae of testifying that they are
ready for statehood.
Ieaders In this separate statehood con
vention say privately that while they would
prefer separate statehood yet they believe
that only Joint statehood will be given to
the two territories. Thla convention was
called to make and adopt a state constitu
tion. It la probable that the actual .work
will be delegated to a committee authorlied
to submit the constitution to the people for
ratification. The convention will declare
for prohibition, which mly be submitted
as an Issue separate from the constitution,
but at the same time. Funds will be raised
to ratify the constitution.
Candidates for Chairman.'
. The first week, or ten days of the con
vention probably will be occupied by or
ganltlng and appointing committees for the
various branches of the work and discus
lug the main points that thoulil enter Into
the constitution. The Convention probably
will Mien adjourn for a" week and reas
semble, at which time the committees will
report and action on the proposed con
stitution will le submitted and discussed
separately. Delegates will be allowed to
suggest changes an t discuss points freely.
T,hls will doubtless occupy much time, and
the convention. may last thirty or even sixty
days. ' -.- i '
The convention orgahltrd by selecting
Chief D. C. MoCurtaln, temporary chair
man, and Ale Posy, temporary secretary.
Both are prominent Indians. Chiefs Porter,
E. Rogers,- Brown- and M(Curtaln were
constituted a committee on credentials.

PUasant Porter, chief of the Creeks, was

and. as they are understood to be opposed
to statehood at present. M la predicted
that the work of the convention will he

character by shaping a course, directly
opposite to the pinna marped out .by' con
gressional l.-a.lrrs. Chief Porter's" control
of affairs waa manifested In the report
of the committee, on order of business,
which recommended a committee ot fifty
one to draft a constitution, twenty-five to
he appointed by the chairman. Every ave
nue appears well guarded against any out

It Is expected that the organisation will
