Coiocil Aikd to Submit Proposal for
Twen j-Fm-Tear Extension.

r.arlv Date. .
t the next regular meeting of the city
rounril, which is scheduled for Monday,
hut on account, of the day being a holiday
will probably be postponed to Tuesday,
the Council TlliirT Waterworks company
will submit an ordinance granting it an I
extension of Its franchise for twenty-five
years. This was decided on yesterday by
tiie company. In view of the fact thnt up
lo date the negotiations for the purchase
by the city of the plant have not resulted
In anything tangible.
The following communication accompany
ing a copy of th- proposed ordinunce was
(lied Willi City Cler't Zurmuehlen late yes
terday i-fternoon:
uiT's-i'T.0'1' rounr'1 "f lt" rity "r Council I
Plurfs 'ocn 1 men: In the verv able ot Inion
ot your special counsel. Messr. Hnrl and
llnley. turnished nu in July last, they
express their Jud.Tmeni thai, the franchise
of the Council Bluff Waterworks com
pany expire on Jnnuory 124 next ami that
in no possible event could it be construed
lo extend beyond December next.
If your counsel are correct the water
company's franchise will expire in less than
I'cur week. The water conipiny i anxious

venlenclng the public by falling to operate

che public are even more Xtally Interested
In making such provision a may be tieee.
sary to secure water for public and private
ne after the date at which your attorneys
hold that the franchise of this company
expires. Believing this, we sunmlt n
with a proposed ordinance ami respectfully
plant by the city at any time, without
compensation for the franchise, avnlds any
Interference with the pending negotiations
for the purchase by the city or with your
plans for municipal ownership, but will
simply enable us to legally furnish the city
with water until your plans for municipal
ownership are consummated.
It will he noted that there Is nothing In
the proposed ordinance with reference to
rate for public or private consumption of
water. This is due to the fact that section
T2S of the code of Iowa confer upon your
honorable body power to at all time tlx
such rate, Irrespective of anything in the
franchise.
Inasmuch a any provision upon that
subject would be void and the company
must under the law rely in any event
wholly upon the wisdom and fairness of
the council, we have felt that It wa use
less to Insert any such provision in the
ordinance.
Should the city council, however, feel
that upon thin or any other subject tho
ordinance ought to be modified to mora
fully protect the city and its Inhabitants
we will be very glad to confer either with
the counsel or any of Its committees with
a view to the making of said modltlcatlona
as would make It mutually satisfactory to
the city and the company.

Former Reslder.t of lora 41y Mast
bow hr Ktaned o Deed.
IOWA CITY. la.. Pee. SlV-( Special. )
After having paid taxes on property she
had purchased In Clord county, Kan.
In 1S!Y, for eight years, Mrs. Louisa T.
Brown, formerly of this city, was Informed
by the recorder of the county that she had
transferred the properly while she was
living In Lockport. N. T., that year and
that she no longer held any Interest there.
I'poti Investigation she discovered that a
deed to her property had been executed
in t.ockport and sworn to by a woman
giving her name, which transferred the
property to a man by the name of Scott.
The records of the county show that Scott
had sold the property within a few days
after he received It under the New York
deed to a man by the name of Ripple, who
still occupies the place.
As , soon as the Investigation had shown
those fact. Mrs. Louisa T. Brown, who
wa formerly n resident of the city, and
who now lives at Boiildor, Colo., began
taking steps to show that she had never
been in New York state at the time that the
deed was made. That, In Tact, at that time
she wa a resident of Boulder and that she
is the real owner of the property. Local
people have been appealed to for testimony
and affidavits which will be forwarded. The
theoretical explanation of the alleged crime
Is that some woman, In the Interests of
Scott, made the deed at Lockport, N. Y.,
using the name of Mrs. Brown. This deed
was then forwarded to Scott, who had It
recorded and then sold the land to an Inno
cent party.

For the last three years the boy baa been

paid the boy the last Installment of his
wages, amounting t $111, and he left Lone
Tree, presumably for Iowa City. From
that time forward ho has not been seen or
heard of, and as there was no reason for
his desiring to run away there Is consider
able fear that he has met with fould play
A general alarm ha been sent over the
county and unles he shows up within the
next few days a more thorough search will
l made.
