WATER RATES ARE UP AGAIN
Special Committee Orders to Prepare
Schedule on Oom promise Basis.
CHAIRMAN WALLACE IALKS ON THE MOVE
Insists Re Will Accept Nothing Bat
Bsslseer Klerstcd's Valuation as
a Baals for Cosipttlag
the Rales.
By a decisive vote of I to t the city
council last night took steps to bring the
long-pending negotiations with the water
worka company a apeedy and amicable
settlement The special committee, of
which Councilman Wallace Is chairman,
was Instructed to draw up a schedule of
rates and submit same to the council at
the earliest date possible. The Instructions
also provided that the committee for thla
purpose use a valuation midway between
the appraisement of W. Klersted, the ex
pert employed by the city, and that of J.
W. Alvord, the consulting engineer em
ployed by the water works company. Mr.
Klersted placed the value of the plant at I
$500.48, while Mr. Alvord'a valuation waa
$708,344, so a valuation of approximately
$800,000 will be what the special com
mittee Is to use aa a basla for making
the rate schedule. '
This action on the part of the council
waa brought out by the presentation of the
following petition:
We have read the petitions recently pre
sented to the city council by a large ma
Jorlly of the business Interests of this
city, and, desiring to express our approval
of the plainly stated wishes of these pe
titioners, we respectfully ask that the
council proceed at once to enter Into an
agreement with the existing company.
We euitgest that any franchise that may
be offered to the company should be for
a term of years long enough to warrant
the investment by the company of suf
ficient money to make necessary reinforce,
ments snd extensions, but that the city
should reserve the right to purchase at
any time. In view of the further fact that
the power to make or change rates at
any time rests with the council and to
the end that the necessary Improvements
may be made at once and to the end that
this matter be settled without any more
direct expense to the city or Indirect ex
pense to the people In the matter ot in
surance rates, we suggest that for a basis
for rate making only, a valuation midway
between the city's appraiser and the water
company's appraiser be used. r
That your consideration for the taxpay
ers and the business Interests of the city
will Influence you to grant this petition
and Immediately take steps to bring nego
tiations to a successful conclusion along
the lines Indicated above Is the earnest
wish of your petitioners.

Starts Wordy Contest.
After the petition had been read Coun
cilman Smith moved that the prayer of the
petitioners be granted and that the special
committee be Instructed to draw up a
schedule of rates In accordance with the
suggestions contained in this petition and
the one presented At the previous meeting.
Councilman Wallace at once offered an
amendment to the effect that the petition
be referred to hla committee. Thla brought
Councilman Maloney to hla feet with a
protest against the suggestion of the coun
cilman from the Third ward. He called
attention to the fact that the former peti
tion had been referred to the special com
mittee and that nothing had been heard
from It since. Mr. Maloney aald he waa
tired of the delay In the water worka mat
ter and he thought It was time that some
thing be done to bring the matter to a
settlement one way or the other.
After more or less discussion, during
which Manager Hart of the water works
company explained his position and took
the occasion to . contradict some of the
statements of Councilman Wallace, -the
letter's amendment waa defeated 'by a vote
of t to S, Councilman Fleming, Hendiix,
Knudsen, Maloney and Smith voting for
It. The vote stood the same on the orig
inal motion, Councilman Olson, Wallace and
Younkerman voting against it
When Councilman Olson, who was pry
siding In the absence of Mayor Macrae,
announced that the amendment had been
lost and that Councilman Smith's original
motion had carried. Councilman Wallace
aald with much emphasis:
"Aa chairman of the special committee
I will not take $000,000 aa the basil for ne
gotiations with the water worka company
either for purchase of the plant or rata
making, I think it Is unfair."
' Paving Bids Called For.
A resolution Instructing the city clerk
to advertise for bids for the paving of the
street and avenues orderd so improved at
the last meeting was adopted. The bids

the rules, aa waa an ordinance reducing

from Eighth street to tbe trucks of th
Northwestern railroad. This portion of
Avenue A Is among the streets ordered

Two offers to purchase the clty'a lota,
which number about 100, on Lower Broad
way were received. C. T. Peavey & Co.
offered the sum of $1 and In addition
agreed to pay all the special taxes, such
as paving, against the lots. G. H. Mayne
and J. P. Greenshlelds offered $50, wUh
the same agreement aa to the payment of
special assessments. Both offers wore
referred to the committee of the whole.

the city for $5,000 damages for personal
Injuries, alleged to have been suffered by
her by reason of a defective sidewalk on

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR Y. M. C. A.
Five Thoasand Dollars Raised on the
First Day.
The preliminary canvass for funds for
the proposed Young Men's Christian asso
ciation building made yesterday morning
by the special committee, assisted by Stale
Secretary Magee, proved most encouraging.
The committee succeeded In' a short time in
raising $5,155 and expects to Increase this
to $10,000 before making a report at the
moss meeting to be held this evening In the
rooms of the Commercial club. Yesterday's
list was headed by J. F. Wilcox with a
donation of $1,000.
If possible State Secretary Magee will
remain over for the meeting this evening
and Secretary Wade of the Omaha associa
tion Is expected to be In attendance.
State Secretary Magee expressed himself
as confident that the necessary money will
be raised. He said: "I believe the present
move for a Young Men'a Christian asso
aiatlon In Council Bluffs will be successful.
With the strong men back of It I cannot
aee how it caa be otherwise. It la a thing
that Is certainly badly needed and I believe
the business men of the city realise this.
Council Bluffs la the only city of It size
In the state when Is without an association
and In fact there are a number of smaller
towna which maintain thriving associa
tions." ROBERT BURNS 10c CIOAR. OLD

STUDENT COMMITS "SUICIDE
Low Condition of Finances Snppised to Be
the Yovirie: Cause.
SOLDIERS' HCMI MAY GET MORE CASH
Last of Bills 'Recommended by Gov
ernor Cnmmlns Kzpected to Be
Introduced Darlna; the
Week.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINKS, Ia., March 4. (Special
Telegram.) A young man, supposed to be
C. M. Mitchell cf Marshulltown, and sup
posed to be a student In the state univer
sity law school, shot and killed himself in
the street car waiting room here at 5
o'clock this afternoon by ahcotlng hlmatlf
through the head. The bullet passed en
tirely through hla head and (erased the
ear of Orson Luln ot Des Moines, who was
sitting by him. Mitchell was canvassing for
law books and hla reasons for committing
suicide are supposed to be due to hla finan
cial condition.
More Money for Veterans.
A bill has been prepared that Is to revive
the movement to give the state Soldiers'
home at Marshalltown more money on
which to operate. The new bill appro
priates $10,000 or aa much thereof as needed
as an additional contingent fund. A bill
was Introduced by Senator Eckles Increas
ing the monthly per capita support fund
from S14 to tlii and It passed the senate,
but was killed by the house committee on
appropi iatlona and the house adopted the
report of tha committee Indefinitely post
poning the bill. It now developes that the
reason the holme committee killed the bill
Is because the friends of the institution
Jumped over the heads of the members of
the Board df Control. The Increase waa
recommended by Superintendent Morton,
but not by the R ard of Control. When
the legislative vlHltlng committees went to
tha institution nothing was said about In
creasing the support fund. Consequently
when the bill came before the house com
mute It began to make Inquiries where
the bill came from. The Brd of Control
waa asked and the membera aald the sup
port fund waa ample though they would
not object to ita being Increased. Conse
quently the committee killed the bill. Since
then there has been all sorts of complaint
because the ,old soldiers were limited in
their support. The legislature started out
on a plan of economy, but a halt waa called
when the old soldiers were concerned. Con
sequently another bill will be Introduced
and It la likely that It will pass both
houses.
Inheritance Tax Bill.
A direct Inheritance tax bill auch aa waa
recommended by Ooverncr Cummlne in his
mcssuge to the legislature, has been pre
pared and will be Introduced In a few days.
This will leave but one nveusure of Im
portance, the civil service measure, which
was recommended by the governor, that
has not been Introduced. It Is understood
that such a measure will be gotten up.
Appropriation Bills Sest.
The house appropriation committee will
this week take up the appropriation bills
for tbe Institutions under the Board of
Control and those of the educational In
stitutions, and also the bill tq consolidate
ths educational Institutions under one
board. Hearings will be arranged at once
on all the measures. . Ths bill to consoli
