WILL BE PART OF NEW FRANCHISE
Charge to Be Based t'pon Vnlae
of (WtnO.OOO, Which Is Compro
slse Between Company and
City Estimates.
With the arrival today of W. Klersted,
the expert hydraulic engineer, to assist
the special committee of which Council
man Wallace Is chairman In formulating
a schedule of water rates to be Incorpo
rated In the new franchise for the water
works company. It Is expected that some
agreement will be finally reached In the
near future between the company and the
city council. In accordance wth the In
structlons of the city council to the special
committee the schedule of rates la to be
baaed upon a valuation of $600,000, this val
uation being a compromise between the
value placed on the plant by Mr. Klersted
and that placed by Mr. Alvord, the expert
engineer employed by the water work
company.
Mr. Klersted expect! that It will take
about a week's work to prepare the sched
ule of rates, as a number of matters. In
eluding the proposed extensions, reinforce
ments and other Improvements will have to
be taken Into consideration.
Qilli) of Minimum Rate.
Mr. Klersted holds that the water works
company la entitled to charge a mini
mum for water service. In his report he
had this to say relative to this question:
"Neither a municipality nor a private cor
poration can afford to sell water to private
consumers without having some minimum
price per unit of volume of water aa
measure of the expense of producing water
service In order that the consumers who
use water liberally enough to equal or
exceed the cost of production and main
tenance shall not be called upon to make
good the deficit of those consumers who,
when unrestricted, would use and pay for
the water service In an amount less than
the cost of production
Chairman Wallace has heretofore opposed
any minimum rate, taking the position that
consumers should only be charged for what
water they actually used.
Many Extensions Proposed.
A long list of proposed extensions of
water mains and service pipes has been
tiled by the councllmen from First, Second,
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth wards. Council
man Wallace has not aa yet filed any
list for the Third ward and It Is under
stood but few extension will be asked for

RAILROAD
COMMISSION
COMIXQ
Officials Will Inspect Great Western
Crossing and Wabash Bridge.
The state railroad commissioners will be
In Council Bluffs today to Investigate two
matter the demand of the city for a via
duct or overhead crossing over the tracks
of the Great Western railroad at Wood
bury avenue, and complaints regarding the
bridge of the Wabash railroad over Mos
quito creek.
The question of a viaduct at the Wood
bury avenue crossing has been long pond
ing and residents and property owners In
that vicinity are much interested In the re.
suit of the Investigation of the railroad
commissioners After many delays the city
council a few months ago passed an ordi
nance requiring the railroad to construct
an overhead crossing at this point. The
officials of the Great Western, however,
take the position that the crossing Is mot
as dangerous as It Is said to be and deny
that there Is any necessity for a viaduct.
It Is said the railroad has prepared statis
tics showing the number of teams and peo
ple who pass this crossing daily. They con
tend the crossing Is reasonably safe ami
the conditions do not Justify the large ex
pense of raising Its tracks fur a crossing
under them and providing for the drainage
which would be necessary for the malnte-
Benton street, from Hyde) avenue to Pas- nano ot ""ch a crossing as Is contemplated
oy ine city.
The Woodbury avenue crossing has been
the scene of a fatal accident and It Is
claimed that several persons have had ex
tremely narrow escapes from being run
down by passing trains. , ' ........
The Wabash bridge over Mosquito creek
Is alleged to be the cause rf frequent over
flows by reason of Its faulty construction.
It Is claimed that the piling of the bridge
Is not set on a line with the channel of
the creek, but obliquely, so that they af
ford an obstruction. Some years ago com
plaint was made to the railroad commis
sioners regarding thla bridge and they or
dered certain alterations, which were made.
The change, however, it Is now contended,
did not remedy the trouble and that a
more recent overflow of the creek was
mainly due to the obstruction caused by
the piling of the bridge.
The members of the commission are:
David J. Palmer of Washington, chairman;
Edward A. Dawson of Waverly and N. 8.
Ketchum of Marshalltown. Mr. Ketchum
arrive last night and the others are ex
pected to be here this morning. The com
missioners will be guests of the Commercial
club at luncheon at the Grand hotel today..

DEFEAT OF THE TWINE BILL

WLL QUOTE REPORTS FROM MINNESOTA
Statemeat that Harvester Combine
Has Evolved New- Process that
Will Cheapen Twine Also a
Faetor In Case.
(From a Baff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, AprU 14.-(Speclal.) Iowa
legislators are preparing to use the report
of the Minnesota Board of Control on
prison made binder twine to strengthen
their position with their constituents and
explain their votes against the bill to
manufacture binder twine In the Anamosa
penitentiary. The Minnesota legislature
has found It necessary to change Its plans,
and a bill haa been passed by the legisla
ture this year which Instead of selling to
ths farmers direct sells to the dealers, and
the dealers are allowed to sell to the
farmers. It has been found by experience
In Minnesota that the other plan, which
was the plan proposed In the bill Intro
duced In the Iowa legislature, was not
altogether a success. The farmers, further
more, disliked the trouble of sending the
cash to the prison for the goods and And
It much more convenient to pay a little
profit to the dealers and get the twine
when they want It.
The report of the Minnesota Board of
Control shows that there was sold during
the year 1906 a total of 1S.J71.06O pounds
of binder twine from the prison at Still
water. This was distributed as follows:
To dealers' clubs 8,71fl.7PS
To farmers' clubs B.78X.9flO
To dealers l.MS.liK
Cash orders l.MB 2f0
Shipped out of state, north b4 Wo
stead of at Anamosa. The legislature Just
adjourned turned the Anamosa penitentiary
Into a reformatory and binder twine Is not
a good article to manufacture at a re
formatory. It is unskilled' labor. One
laborer can 'tend several machines' and It
requires no training to operate them. For
a reformatory only skilled trades should
be taught and the Indeterminate sentence
law provides that only useful trades shall
be taught at the Anamosa reformatory.
Competition In Patvlngr.
Acting on the decision of the supreme
court In regard to paving at Iowa City,
publlo men Interested In municipal matters
will advocate that a law be placed an the
statute books giving free competition In
the matter of street Improvements and all
other municipal improvements. It Is ad
vocated that Instead of following the pres
ent plan wherein the city council passes
a resolution of necessity for the paving
of a street, then allows a majority of the
property owners to select the material with
which It Is to be paved and then adver
tise for bids on tha,t paving alone, the
method should be for the city council to
pass the resolution of necessity, then ad
vertise for bids for paving the street, al
lowing the manufacturers of all kinds of
paving to enter the competition and offer
their bids In detail. Then allow ths prop
erty owners to coma In, and with the bids
before them make a selection of the kind
of material they wish to have their street
paved with. If the bids showed that SO
per. cent or more waa asked for paving
the street with asphalt than with brick,
that fact might have some Influence on the
selection of the property owners.
It Is argued for this system that It la the
system on which business men contract.
They know something of the cost of the
various materials before they make a con
tract and do not select a patent device
on which there is a monopoly and then ask
for bids.

Total number of pounds 13.S71.flM
Under the new law that was passed by
the 1907 Minnesota legislature the dealers
over the stats will have an opportunity to
take the great bulk of the output of the
factory and the Board of Control will re
serve only 600,000 pounds to sell direct to
the farmers. The dealers are to be allowed
to make a profit of 1H cents a pound on
the twine.
In Minnesota the plan seams to be to
require cash from all single orders, but
where clubs are formed either of dealers
or farmers where the state authorities are
given an opportunity to Investigate their
reliability twine can be shipped without
the cash. That the twine plant In that
state Is a success, however, seems to be
evidenced by the fact that the capacity
of the factory has been considerably in
creased by the laat legislature.
The bill to manufacture binder twine at
the penitentiary has been Introduced at
each session of the Iowa legislature for
some time. Legislators have been, search
ing for excuses to vote aealnst it because
the farmers demanded the law and they
were afraid to Injure the feelings of the
farmers. The fact that the International
Harvester company has announced through
trade papers for the laat year or more
that tt has perfected machinery for manu
facturing twine from other materials than
the Imported sisal, hemp and manlla, which
are Imported products, caused the legis
lators to hesitate. The new machinery of
the International la to manufacture the
twine from flux, and It Is claimed It will
be considerably cheaper than the other,
though Just as good. If this can be done
Iowa legislators argue that they should go
slow about equipping the Iowa penitentiary
plant with costly machinery that will
manufacture only the high .priced twin
for when sold without the profit tt might
be still higher than the Hax twine and th
farmers would want the ehea beat-
It Is more than likely that the bill will
be Introduced again when the legislature
meets two years from now and If It 1 In
troduced It will probably provide that th
factor its lfisUtut4 al fort aXadisva la-

The primary Intention of the law Is to
prevent new ..corporations from watering
.their stock. Of course, since every stock
transaction that la not for cash In full
must have the approval of the executive
council It will hardly be possible for an
Iowa corporation to make presents ef blocks
of stock to publlo officials and Influential
men for the purpose of gaining thelf In
terest and Influence In the proposed under
taking. The executive council might not
consider that the Influence and Interest of
a prominent cltlsen or official to bo exactly
In the Interests of the public.
While some of t1- members of the legis
lature Interposed some objections to ths
bill when It was under consideration the
corporations themselves did not fight the
measure. All their time and attention was
taken up In fighting the Ertcson bill, which
was spoken of as the "corporation tax"
bill. The real purpose of the Ericson bill
was to get reports from the corporations
to the secretary of state. There Is a law
now that requires thsm lQ report, but
there Is no way of enforcing It and the
purpose of the Ericson bill was to provide
for a small tax In addition to the annual
report. The funds from the tax would
add eoms to the revenue of the state be
sides guaranteeing, a fund with which to
enforce the provisions of the bill, requir
ing the annual report.
The Ericson bill was offered st the re
quest of the secretary of state's office.
There are hundreds of corporation In
Iowa that have Incorporated under the
laws of ths state of Iowa that are dead

the privileges of the corporation laws that

are others doing business in the state that

The Executive council Is to be confronted
with a problem of finding quarters In th
statehouse 'where, .there ar rone. The leg
lalature provided that the new Board, ot
Parole should have quarters In the state
house and that the state veterinarian
should also have quarters , In the State
house. At the present time there are oc
cupants of office rooms In the statehouse
who think they should have more room
and there are no vacant rooms. The ex
ecutive council, therefore, haa somethings
of a problem on Its hands.
There Is some talk of giving tha rooma
now occupied by the geological survey de
partment, to Uva Board of Parole. ' These
rooms are on the basement floor In the
northwest corner of the building. There
are two rooms and a good vault. It will be
necessary for the board to have a vault
for the reason that the Indeterminate sen
tence law provides that the clerks of the
district court, following each conviction,
must send to the board a copy of the In
dictment and list of the witnesses and other
evidence, all of which must be filed In a
safe placs. There are about to SCO of
such every year and in a short time a small
vault would be filled. It la necessary to
have a room for hearings In addition to a
private room. The rooms occupied by tha
geological survey supply all requirements.
If this Is done it will be necessary to And
room for the geologicnl department. Thera
ts talk of putting; It somewhere In the new
historical building or else In the' rooms In
the brick residence building across the
street, part of which Is occufl-d by the state
dairy and food commissioner.

before the executive council In all Its de

on tha patent right If a man owns a lot
of real estate in some arid country or
anywhere els and hasn't ths funds to
hold It and put It on th market. Instead of
valuing It himself and Inducing his friends

they put tn the cash and h his land at
his own valuation the executive council
will put th valuation oa tha land. Then
