At an Informal meeting held Paturday afternoon in the rooms of the Council BlufTs Commercial club, ths proposition to or ganize a development company was dis cussed, but beyond an Informal ..discussion no action was taken. The plan under con sideration Is to organise a company with a nominal capital of tlOO.ero for the purpose of bringing factories and other business enterprises to the city, securing suitable sites for such enterprises and the offering of bonuses when necessary to obtain the location here of some desirable firm or factory. The proposition is merely at present In an embryonic state and no attempt to form the organisation will be made until a can vass of the business men of the city Is made. This will probably be done this week and if sufficient encouragement is met with a meeting will be called to place the proposition on a firm footing. While It has been suggested to place the capital stock of the proposed development company at 1100.000, but one-fourth will be asked to be paid at present. With a fund of CS.000 It la figured that the company could be Incorporated and commence busi ness When the fund of 126,000 should be exhausted, it is proposed to call for the payment of another fourth of the capital stock and so on until the full amount Is subscribed.

PORTTOH OF REPORT STPPRKsSED Estimate of Cost of Hew Plant Hot Gtvesi to Pwhlle. There Is a portion of the report of W. Kiersted. the expert hydraulic engineer em ployed by the city to compute the value of the present water works plant and furnish an estimate of the cost of the construction of a new one. which has not yet been made publio and which waa not included in the copies furnhxhed. .the members of the city council by Councilman Wallace, chairman of the special committee on water works. This portion of the report referred to deals with the cost of the construction of a new plant suitable for the growing needs of Council Bluffs. Mr. Kiersted estimated the cost of the original water works plant at tSST.Kg. and its present value at SSOO.Ms. In which he In cluded a going value of 3!,74 The cost of reproduction of the present plant Mr. Kiersted estimated at to which he added 107.1RS, the estimated com of the Im provements and extensions In the service declared by htm to be needed Immediately. This makes Mr. Klersted's estimate of the cost of reproduction of the present plant, together with the Improvements needed at onoe. $641,627. or In round figures. $050,000. The cost, however, of constructing a waer works plant suitable to the growing needs of the city, and such aa Mr. Kiersted would recommend In the event of the city deciding to build a new plant, would, ac cording to his estimate, coat practically tmt.000. These figures will be of consider able Interest to ths taxpayers of Council Bluffs, who have up to this not been made acquainted with this portion of Mr. Kler sted's report, and ee peel ally in view of the fact that Coundltnen Wallace and Olson of the special committee and Ooundlman Tounkerman have been quoted aa declaring themselves In favor of constructing an en tirely new plant. These three members of the city council are quoted as saying that "every t&etacle has been cleared away for the purchase of the present plant or the construction of a new one, and that a new plant can be acquired without Increasing the present taxation and. further, that It would secure a reduction of one-half of the old rates" In exact flgures, Mr.' Kiersted estimates the cost of a sew water works plant such as would be desirable for Council Bluffs at tu.StS. With the poeetble and probable In crease In cost of material by the time the city was ready to commence the construc tion of a water works plant, the coot might considerably exceed 1500,000. , In arriving at the eost of a nsw plant. Mr. Kiersted gives ths following figures: retributing syrftem ...$ 724 SetUing baaina. pipes, drain, etc,... 16.(' rumping station Two high service pumping engines Two low sen-toe pumping engine Boilers ; Steam piping ..s..

"Is based upon taking the water supply from the Missouri river at s paint near Walnut grove, about 1.000 feet below the Illluuis Central bridge. It is proposed to construct the power station, ana settling basins near enough to the liver that the same building will contain both the low and the high lift pumplna machinery, all the- boilers and equipment needed, and that 'the sedl meat taken from the. river water, can be returned ta the Mlseoari river directly through drains provided Ter that 'purpose. The pumping station is made large enough to provide for additions la the future." Rewarding the possibility of securing the water supply from the ground Instead of from the Missouri river, Mr. Kiersted aay: "The only available eouros of water sup ply other thaa that of the Missouri river is the gravel beds Snderlyrag the Missouri river valley. Water can be taken from these gravel beds la sufficient quantity te supply a city of ea,0S InhaeiWyits or evea more, and will need do purification, unless It may be found advisable to reduce the amount of mineral .matter' heid. rjT solu tion. Should a water supply be takes' from the ground It will be necessary to provide a considerable amount of storage at the water supply works ta order that ths. hsh pressure pumps will always hsve a large reserve to drw upon In emergencies. A storage haln for this purpose muct neces sarily he covered In order to prevent vege table growth, which always develops luxu riantly in the stored wster exposed to the sunlight. "A ground water supply, like that con tained In the gravel beds of the Missouri river valley. Is alwsyg desirable from a hygienic point of view, for the reason that the water so stored Is protected from any danger of sewage pollution. The develop ment works, however, have In the pest been somewhat expensive, but Improve ments In pumping machinery for taking water from wells now admit of the con struction of wnter supply works of this character for less expense than formerly. "No estimate has been made of the cost of a ground wnter supply, for the reason It Is necessary to make some borlnps before reliable estimates can be made. A ground water supply can be developed with equal facilities at either the Broadway station of the Council Bluffs Water Works com pany or at the site proposed for the water supply works of the new water works estimated on." Manarer E. W. Hart is In receipt of a letter from J. W. Alvord. the expert em ployed by the Council Bluffs Water Works company. In which he states that his re port will not be ready to be mailed before Monday evening. ' In the absence of Mr. Alvord's report no conference between Manager Hart and the special water works committee will be held this afternoon aa planned last week. The members of the special committee and Mr. Hart were much surprised to learn by the columns of the Sunday morning edition of an Omaha evening paper that the committee had a "lovely time" Satur day afternoon at a meeting with Manager Hart and that the latter hsd invited Councilman Tounkerman to leave the con ference. There waa no meeting and conse quently Mr. Tounkerman was not Invited to leave by Mr. Hart or anyone else. "B" LEADS JARVIS LIQUORS TO FRONT. ROBERT BURNS 10c CIQAR, OLD TIMES 5e AND SPINA 10c CIQAR.

CASH IS SHORT OF DEMANDS Legislature Em Lcn Than Million Dollars for Epeaial ApprspriatioBt, INSTITUTIONS ASK OVER TWO MILLION Lark of Passes Having a Tendency to Prevent Adjearmsseats of Leglt latere, It Takes Cash to Go Home. fFrom a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES, Jan. (Special.)-With less than $l.O.0u0 available for extra ap propriations the thirty-second general as sembly is confronted with demands amount ing to considerably over tiOOu.OOO. Be quests otr the various state institutions alone amount to $1.6J.5S, the State Agri cultural college and the State university asking for $,00a The State university lesds the list with requests for $443,000. These appropriations are all known as extra appropriations. Most of the state Institutions have appropriations that are annual and need not be acted upon by each succeeding legislature. The extra ap propriations asked for are for new build ings and Improvements not provided for by the regular annual appropriations. Both the State university and Agricultural col lege have mlllage taxes for the purpose of erecting new. buildings, but both are asking for big appropriations In addition for new buildings, the State university ask ing for $125,000 for a woman's building and the 8tate Agricultural college for $100,000 for a heating plant and tunnels and $15,000 for an addition to the girls' dormitory, besides smaller amounts for other build ings, the total acked by the college being $3S5.000. Both ask for increases in the an nual support fund. In comparison with these the State normal is asking for only U3,oii, or which $5.ono is for walks and grading, $T,,000 for the library and $6,000 for the librarian's salary. The total re quests of the three educational Institutions are as follows: State university .'. J $ 443.000 Aa-ricultural college 395.000 State Normal l&.OuO Total $ 851.0(10 Asked by state fair $ 100.000 Institutions under board of control. MS,EJ Total $1,962,63 The appropriations asked by the state fair are to erect a steel amphitheater, buy additional land and build a swine pavilion. The appropriations asked by the board of contrcl are for infirmaries at some of the hospitals, new buildings of various kinds and other permanent Improvements, all of which were given In the report published In November. In addition to all these appropriations there are bills already Introduced or about to be Introduced for appropriations for an executive mansion, publishing a roster of old soldiers, for completing the historical building, for completing the archives de partment and providing salary for the cus todian, for publishing documents and build ing monuments to .departed state officials. Probably the hardest task of the session will fall to the appropriations committees, as there is available less than $1,000,000 for appropriations. ... Lark of Passes Preveat Recesses. The lack of passes will prevent any fur ther recesses this-Beeslon of the legis lature. The legislature will meet tomor row afternoon tw'taTre- up business, and pccordirsjr to the tstfiper of the members there will be Inisfnei flying right from the first. The traveling expenses of the mem bers to visit the atste Institutions Is paid from the treasury, but there will be no more going home except at the expense of the member, for there sre no more passes In Iowa for state officials. Considerable debate Is going on as to how the Agri cultural college wlli get the legislators to visit the college. Every year there has been a special train run to Ames for thst purpose and everyone went free. Accord ing to the anti-pass law everybody can ride on passes but state officials, so the excursion this year will be a difficult thing and the general impression is that there win be none. Another Beet Basra r Factory. A second beet sugar fsctory Is to be lo cated In Iowa, the site to be at Fort Dodge. For eight years there has been a law on the statute books to encourage the erection of beet sugar factories In Iowa. The first to take advantage of It was one organised at Wsverly a few months ago. Work on that is progressing and It is expected to have It in operation for next year's crop. Now a second is to be put up at Fort Dodge, the machinery being moved from another state as a result of the discovery of the federal Department of Agriculture that the soil of Iowa Is favorable to sugar beets.

COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS following named Kodak dealers : SUNDAY AT THE THEATERS '"Lady Windermere'! Fan" at ths Burwood Get Splendid Treatment BRILLIANT PLAY IS WELL PRODUCED Good TaeseTtlle BUI at the Orpbeam Is Mack Ealoyed and "The Yaskee Censel" Delights Crowds at Krif, Right at the very outset let us congmtu lste Director Hartford on his success In preparing "Lady Wlndermere-s Fan" for the stage at the Burwood. Written, as It was, by the acknowledged English master of epigrammatic wit, and glittering wrrh the choicest gems of his scintillating, cyni cal, biting wit and pungent satire. It Is at once the delight and the despair of the stage director. Any man who succeeds In so drilling his actors that half of the beauty of the snappy cross-fire of sardonic humor and cynical. ' witty wisdom of this play Is preserved M the audience may congratu late himself, and Mr. Hartford baa done more than this. In the scene In Lord Dar lington's chambers, where the men Indulge for a few moments In an Interchange of brilliance, the work Is nearly perfect. Not only the spirit, but the atmosphere Is pre served, and In this Messrs. Morrison, Hart ford, Da vies, Todd and Schoefield shone. It Is aulte the best bit of ensemble work that has been done at the Burwood theater this winter, and Is certain to unfold a few minutes of unalloyed pleasure to all who love clever work cleverly done. "Lady Windermere's Fan" Is a cut above the average stock company, and It was most ambitious undertaking on the part of Mr. Hartford to set about its presenta tion at the Burwood, but he has succeeded most admirably. Miss Pitt makes Mra Erlynne quite Impress.ve. Phe avoids a slight tendency to become tragic In her heavier scenes, and carries the lighter with a clear conception of the difficult position in which she Is placed by the circumstances that surround her. Her scene with Lady Windermere In the third act Is vrry well brought off. Miss Hill Is not exactly st ease as Lady Windermere, seeming to feel a bit too keenly the vaccllating weakness i of the character and yet unable to fully ! realise It In expression. The air of coldness with which she Invests the part does not seem to lit exactly with he notion that she is the warm and Impulsive woman who would do the things that Lady Windermere did. Miss Hudson as the garrulous Duch ess of Berwick and Miss Maycliffe as Lady Plymdale are well cast and Miss Martin as the simpering and Insipid daughter of the duchess Is a dellcht. She has but one speech, but says that so aa to start a laugh each time she pronounces It. The positive characters In the play are female; the men merely serve as make weights, and the praise already bestowed on them will be deemed sufficiently com prehensive. Each does well, and together they do splendidly. The play has been beautifully staged, and should prove one of the most successful bills of the season at the Burwood. It runs through the week, with the customary matinees. Vaadevtlle at the Orpheasa. The bright particular atar In a uni formly good bill at the Orpheum this week Is Julius Bleger, who appears here for the I first time in vaudeville. His number Is a j sentimental playlet called "The Fifth Com- i mandment." with the reunion of a wander- i lng musician and his long lost child as the basis of the plot. Opportunity Is given for j a song by Mr. Bteger, which Is certainly one of the best things heard In vaudeville here for a long time. Mr. Bteger la as sisted by Mr. William H. Pascoe. Miss Helm Mar Wilcox and Mr. John Romano, a harpist of ability. The staging is rich and the number is placed at the head of vaudeville for this season. Ollie Toung and brother, whose hoop rolling stunts have been seen by Omahans several times, were given a rousing wel come again yesterday. Several new and marvelous feats have been added to their list since they were here last. Knight brothers and Sawtelle have a dancing nov elty of high merit. All three can sing and ran do a novelty dance that is well worth recalling. They had hard work inducing the audience to let them quit Llna Pantxer, on the bounding wire, and Tommy, her clever assistant. In burlesque, do some am axing stunts Btanolng on ths shoulders of a garden spade and jumping the rope, doing a skirt dance knd finally removing all the clothing not needed in the wire act is the way she cpens the number. Bite seems to be able to do almost anything on the wire. The musical portion of the bill Is largely made up of the Four Avolos. xylophonrsts. who pleased the audience so well they were recalled. Plrglng silly songs and doing other entertaining things Is about the enly way to describe the num ber contributed by Dillon brothers But j they are funny and It doesn t take any Irs- j genulty te see the fun In anything I bey da.
