niE OMATIA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1906. CURRENT COUNCIL Office, 10. Pearl HALT IN WATER WORKS PLAN 8peclal Committee of the Oitj Gonnoil leashes So Agreement TWO BILLS READY FOR LEGISLATURE Home Opposition to Acquirement of the Plant U Being Manifest En Bhoald the City Be Able to Accomplish the Result. The conference scheduled for yesterday between the special waterworks committee of the city council and representatives of the waterworks company failed to ma u riallxe. and announcement was made that it had been postponed until today. Anticipating that some agreement would he reached In the meantime the special meeting of the city council called by Mayor Macrae for last Tuesday hlg-ht was post poned until this evening, but yesterday Oily Clerk Zurmuehlen stated that his under standing was tnat the meeting had been called off and that there would be no ses sion of the city council before the regular monthly meeting on Monday, February 5. ' The two bills providing for amendments to the present status governing the indebt edness of municipalities, which are designed to it move certain obstacles In the path of Council Bluffs acquiring by purchase the waterworks plant of the Council Bluffs City Waterworks company, have been drafted by Hart & Tinley, special counsel for the city in this matter, and have been placed in the hands of State Senator Saunders. The two measures, the provisions of which have been previously published In The Bee, have been approved by the special city council committee and the legal representatives of the waterworks company. It Is believed that little If any opposition will be made to the passage of the two measures. With the enactment by the legislature of the two proposed bills It Is believed that the city will then be In a position to acquire ownership of the waterworks providing an agreement as to the purchase value of the plant can be reached, an last, but not least, providing the people of the city by their vote at the special election declare themselves In favor of the proposition. Bone Opposition Manifest. While two years ago the democrats made municipal ownership of the waterworks one of the prominent feature of their platform at the city election there Is no certainty that the people as a rule are In favor of the proposition. In fact, with many there Is a decided opposition to the city purchas ing the plant at this time. This opposition arises from the fact that municipal owner ship of the waterworks would undoubtedly mean Increased taxation for a number of years. Opponents of municipal ownership also contend that necessarily the water works and Its management would become a factor In politics every city election and that with every change of administration a change In the management of the plant might be expected. jClty Solicitor Snyder has been Informed that at the present session of the legislature a bill will be Introduced at the request of the municipal authorities of Sioux City re quiring corporations operating public utili ties, such as waterworks! electric light and gas plants, to file every year with the city clerk a detailed Inventory or statement of revenue, expenditures, value of plant, ex tensions, etc. The object of the filing of such a statement Is, so It Is stated, to en able municipal authorities to obtain an in telllgent basis on which to regulate rates, as under the existing laws they are empow ered to do.
