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.
