Chris Jensen, a farmer of Garner town, hip, filed an Information yesterday morn lug In the court of Justice Field, charging lleiiiy H msi-n and Jamee Nelson, faruier txiys. with obstructing a public highway. The boys were said to have piled fence sts and brush acromi one of the roada n Garner township, thereby frightening Jensen's team and nearly causing the homes to back Into the rtltrh. As the Imis were Illinois, Justice Field turned them over to Rev.

WATER QUESTION IS GRAVE Some lolntion of Present Difficulty Ehnld Be Arrived at LARGER MAINS NEEDED IN BUSINESS PART Water Company Will Do Nothings I ntll New Franchise Is Granted and Contract Made with the City. The pressing necessity of some settle ment being speedily reached between the city council and the water works company, In order that Council Bluffs should have Improved fire protection In the business sections, was emphasised by F. J. Day, appearing on behalf of the Insurance com panies and business Interests of the city, at the meeting of the executive commltteo of tho Commercial club yesterday after noon. Mr. Day took the position that the Commercial club, as the leading business organisation of the city, should Impress upon the city council the Importance of some definite action In the water works matter without further delay. Mr. Day called attention to the fact that the recent fire In the Implement district, which destroyed the warehouse and stock of the Union Transfer company and other firms for which this company acted as forwarding "agent, showed the urgent neces sity for larger water mains In that sec tion of the city. The fire which destroyed the Fuller-Johnson & Shugart building in the same district two years ago, he said, had at that time shown that the water service was entirely Inadequate, but noth ing had been done by the city to Improve matters. If these conditions were permitted to continue, Mr. Day argued. Council Bluffs would Boon find Itself without any large wholesale Implement or other firms. Three Years of Dickering. Mr. Day said he realised, as other busi ness men did. that the water works com pany could hardly be expected to make any largo expenditures In Improving Its services by installing larger mains so long as the city council declined to como to any arrangement with It. Mr. Day said It was time that the city council should be made to understand that the business Interests of the city at large demanded that a set tlement be reached with the water works company. He spoke of the fact that for three years the matter had been pending before the city council, but nothing had been accomplished, except the expenditure of several thousand dollars In the employ ment of special attorneys and experts. Municipal ownership of the water works, Mr. Day contended, was now practically out of the question, and It behooved the city council to come to some settlement with the water works, so that It could be granted a new charter and be placed In a position where it could make the extensions and Improvements In its service demanded by present conditions. Mr. Day said he had been given to understand that the water works company was prepared to place larger mains In the Implement dis trict and other business sections of the city as soon as the city council would place It in a position to do so. ' ' C. W. McDonald's Views. C. W. McDonald, president of the Com mercial club, said that he was of the same opinion as Mr. Day as to the necessity of the city council coming to a speedy settlement with the water works company. He was of this opinion when he heard of the Union Transfer company's Are and he was of the Bame opinion. If not more so, now. Mr. McDonald did not hesitate in declaring that the city council should be forced to make some satisfactory arrange ment wtih the water works company so that the latter could be In a position to make the needed improvements In the water service In the wholesale district. Mr. McDonald said that tha Idea of municipal ownership had exploded and this being the case the city council should reach torn? settlement without further delay with the water works company. The business inter ests of the city at lurge, he contended, de manded this. As to the report which Engineer Kiersted might make, Mr. Mc Donald said, the only value that could be placed upon It would be that It might afford something on i which to form an Intelligent basis from which to make a new contract with the water works com pany. At the same time, Mr. McDonald said, he was firmly of the opinion that the city council should not wait any longer for this report, but ge"t to work at onco and arrive at some agreement with the water works company. Further delay, he said, might prove most costly to the city. Other members nf the executive commit tee expressed themselves ns favoring soma action which would force the city council to a speedy termination of the long drawn out consideration of the water works ques tion, and It is likely that President Mc Donald will call a meeting of the club within the next few days to secure an expression from the members. View of Water Works Official. Manager B. W. Hart, when h learned of the discussion before the executive com mittee of the Commercial club yesterday afternoon, said: "The water works com pany has recognized for some time the necessity of increasing the slse of the mains In certain parts of the city, but owing to the near approach of the, fran chise's termination had not felt It advis able to make any expenditure. During tho laBt three years the city council has re fused to treat with the wator works com pany on a basis for a new contract for hydrant rental or In fact any basis for purchase of the plant or the building of a new one. The water company can only say what it has said many times in the last three years, that It stands ready to make the needed extensions whenever the city will make It possible." pro.wrty at Twentieth street, and First avenue for the Installation of Its storage tanks. The company has contracted for 120 tanks and seventy-two of these will be shipped here In the next few days. For the present the company will ship Its nil here by rail, but It Is Mated that as soon as the business In this section Is established. It will be shipped by boat on the Missouri river. Council Bluffs, It Is said, will be made the headquarters of the company for Iowa and from this point the product of the company will be dis tributed over the state.
