MOKE PAVING ON BROADWAY tinoll Orden Work Completed to End of j the Motor Bridge. NOT ALL LIKELY 10 BE ACCOMPLISHED City Clerk Ordered X Advertise for Bids for Fire tteasirr Paasi Which May He I sed to Make Purchase. Several blocks more on lower Broadway mill be paved this year, but Just how many will depend on the condition of the general Improvement fund and other funds that the city may and hopes to secure from outside sources for this purpose. The ques tion of the paving of Broadway came up at the meeting of the city council lost night In connection with the resolution for the paving of a number of. streets and avenues. While on motion of Councilman Bmlth, supported by Councilman Hendrlx of the Sixth ward, It was "ordered" that Broadway be paved from Twentieth stre?t to the approach to the motor bridge, tho council has little, If any. expectation of Improving that much this yeap As a starter bids will be asked or the paving of eight blocks and If funds are available additional blocks will be improved. Last year the thoroughfare was paved from Thirteenth street to Twentieth. From statements made by Councllmen Maloney and Wallace, It appears that the fund of $4,000 which remained after the street fair and carnival last year may be donated by the Commercial club to assist In the expense of paving Broadway. It was also suggested by Councilman Maloney and Contractor Wlckham that possibly soma money fcr this purpose mlsht be ob tained from the hauling companies and wholesale firms on both sides of the river, who use Broadway for hauling goods to and from tire two cities. Another plan suggested to raise funds for the paving was for the city to sell at a small price the large number of lots It owns on Broadway, tne purchaser to agre .o ptand the assessment for the paving up 'o a certain . amount. These lots came nto possession of the city when the ormer owners- failed to pay the assess nent for the old cedar block paving on hat thoroughfare. Streets to Be Paved, A meeting of the committee of the whole will be held Friday evening at which time an effort will be made to secure the attendance of the members of the execu tive committee cf the Commercial club and the carnival company with a view of ascertaining what financial assistance to wards the paving of Broadway can be ob tained from that source. The streets named in the paving resolu tion, on which final action will be taken February 25, are as follows: First street from Washington avenue to Its north terminus, Nicholas street from Broadway to north line of Belden's sub division. Bloomer street from First street to Damon street, Perrln avenue from Frank street to easterly terminus, Thomas street from Pierce street to Broadway, Avenue A from Eighth street to Northwestern tracks. Ninth street from Broadway to Avenue B, Tenth street from Broadway to Avenue B, Heventn street from Washington avenue to Avenue F, Damon street from Bloomer street to Clinton street. Vltrlfled brick on five-Inch concrete base: Avenue B from Els-hth street to North western tracks on Eleventh street. Vltrlfled -brick on four-Inch Concrete base: Tenth street from .First avenue to Seventh avenue. Third avenue from Ninth street to Northwestern tracks on Twelfth street. Fourth avenue from Ninth street to Northwestern tracks on Twelfth street, we?.rnTra avenue from Twelfth street to Indian crrek bridge at Fourteenth street.

Alley In block 2, Turley White's subdivision City to Bar Fire Steamer. At the suggestion of Chalman Ynunker man of the committee on fire and light the city clerk waa Instructed to advertise for bids for a "first-class steamer" as an adjunct to the equipment of the fire de partment. Regarding the question of funds with which to purchase a steamer and to maintain It, the finance committee made the following report last night: If the revenues are allowed to be kept up for the balance of the fiscal year In the same proportion they have been for the last nine months, It Is possible there will be by April 1 (5,000 available for this pur pose. As to the ability of the city to main tain said steamer after same is purchased. It would depend entirely upon the revenue I Thornell was found to give Myers $11 on received from licenses, flues, etc.. In the i .. ... - wages and damage for the years to come. If said revenues continue J m" . " . .... as thev are today, with a possible slight alleged libel. The alleged libel was con reduction in the expenses of some other de- 1 talned In a letter written to Myer arter partments and without further increase in j ,h ,, had left Montgomery's employ. in) ra of some, we might possibly meet the ext ,vriwnui nt ,tuiii,p tn th, tnt u.uv ucr annum, uiv ajuuuui iruuirvu iu maintain same Even under these condl - lions It would be very close work Councilman Wallace Called attention to tho fact that notwithstanding the passage by the city council of an ordinance re quiring the construction of an overhead crossing over the ' tracks of the Oreat Western railroad at Woodbury avenue, the railroad had as yet made no move to comply with the order of th council. Dis cussion developed the fact that Is waa doubtful whether the Great Western rail road offlctuls had been formally notified of the passage of the ordinance. Mr. Wal lace stated that while In De Moines at tending the Inauguration of Governor Cum mins he had improved the opportunity to call upon the railroad commissioners and that they had told him a copy of the ordi nance should be filed with them. As City Solicitor Kimball 1 going to De Molnea this week be was Instructed to take a copy of the ordinance and ether data and present same to the commissioner. Street Car Service Ample. General Manager Smith of the Omaha A ,'ouncll Bluffs Street Railway company acknowledged receipt of a resolution idopted at a former meeting of the city ouncll, calling upon, the street railway jompany to afford extra service during th ush hour In the early morning and tn the ,'enlng. In hi communication General ianager Smith stated that towards th uter part of December the company in .cased its service between the two cities urlng th hour named by 40 per cent and .ie result had demonstrated that It waa lTliev leading v.

Mr. Smith stated that he supposed the complaint as to the srrvlce had been filed prior to the placing on of the addi tional service. Former Judge of the Superior Court O. H.

AGREEMENT ON RAILWAY COMMISSION Work of Patting; tho Idea Into Form of Bill the Seat Thin en Pro gram Twe-Cent Passenger Faro BUI Bendy. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Jan. 28. -(Special.) Two primary election bills, the Crossley bill and the Peterson bill are now printed and in possession of the members of both houses of the legislature "and these will form the basis upon whloh the elections committees In both house will work and from which a primary election law for Iowa will be drawn. The printing of the Peter son bill was completed and the bill laid upon the desk of the members today Some time this week the committees In both houses will meet and begin work. There la reported to be in preparation a rtpmotTRtl.' orimaiy election bill, but the committees will not wait for this. Vital differences exist between the Peter son and Crossley primary election bill. Both provide for direct plurality selection; each fixe a dat upon which th primary of all parties are held In th same place; each provides for state conventions only for the purpose of drawing up platforms though the Crossley bill also provides for rmintv and district conventions for tho same purpose; each provide for th can dldntes names to be placed on the ballots alphabetically; each bill provides for the selection of party precinct committeemen; tat:h provides for a declaration of party aiflllatlon, and each provides for punish ment of offenders against the law. Here the likenesses cease and the differ enres begin. The bills provide for direct orlmary nomination of all candidates for whom the people vote at the general elec tion and for United States senators, but the Crossley bill also provides for primary selection of presidential electors. A politi cal part is defined by Senator Crossley as "any political organisation which muln tains a county, district or state organisa tion." It Is defined by Peterson as being "a party which at the last preceding gen eral election, cast for Its candidate for governor at least 2 per cent of the total vdte cast at said election. Crossley provides for the- primary to be held the third Tuesday In August, with a primary In cities of 25,000 or over the fourth Tuesday preceding the election. Peterson provides for the primary to be held the first Monday in September and in cities and towns, the first Monday In March Crossley provide that primary Judgf and clerks of election shall be chosen as for a general election. Peterson provides that the same Judges and cierks serve both primary and , general election. Crossley provides for uniform ballot. Peterson for different color for different parties. Crossley provides for declaration of party affiliation at the general election, the auditor to certify the list to the Judges at the next primary. Peterson provides only that In case of challenge a votfr can swear to his affiliation, and be given the ballot of that party. Crossley provides for the county auditor to canvass the vote In the presence of party committeemen for county officers and the executive council for state offices. Peterson for the supervisors to canvass the vote of county offices. Crossley makes tho holding of county, district and state con vention compulsory and fixes the time. Peterson makes them optional with the state committee.- There Is a general supposition' that some kind of primary law. will bo passed this sesalon, though the standpatters will make effort to get a compromise on the plurality feature. If there I evidence of a deter mined fight the chance are strong the measure will be taken Into the republican caucus and made a caucus measure. It 1 understood Governor Cummins would fsvor this and a number of standpatters have declared they favor It. Colonel Palmer for Commander. Colonel D. J. Palmer, state railroad com missioner, I being boosted for the position of department commander of the Orand Army of the Republic of Iowa.

No other candidate ha been men tioned for the position thus far. Retail Hardware Men Com In;.

Hagerman ha been appointed by the Methodist conference to draft a' Sab bath observance bill along the lines of the one Introduced at the last session that all but passed and became a law. The Des Moines Ministerial association will support the bill. It wa the work of the ministers over the state that got the bill so near passage last session and they are hopeful of success this year. Th bill will prohibit Sunday base ball and .all form of amuse ment where an admission fee la charged. Extra Employe.
