NEW TURN IN WATER WORKS Latest i Effort to Purchase Plant of the Present Company. HART SAYS WILLING TO SELL Matter Conn fp After Beaalotlon Had Brri Adapted! Antharlslns; Committee to Take Matter Ip with nidder. At the meeting of tho city council last night th standing committee on water work. together with the city engineer and the city solicitor, were lnatructed lo en ter Into negotiations with the Council Bluffs City Water Works company for the purchaae of Its water works plant Thla action was taken on motion of Councilman Jensen subsequent to the ap proval of the water works committee, to which had been referred tha bid of K. A. Wlckham for the construction of the pro posed municipal water works plant, and a statement on the part of E. W. Hart, manager of the Council Bluffs City Water Works company, to the effect that his company had always been and wa atlll prepared to negotiate with the cltjr for the sale to It of its water plant. The report of the committee on water works, whic h Is composed of Councllmen Jenaen, McMillan and Bellinger, was an follows: Your committee on water works and the city engineer, to whom was referred the matter of the bids for constructing a new wster work system for the city of Council Bluffs, beg leave to make the fol lowing report: That your committee finds that all rea sonable efforts has, In Its Judgment, been mude to purchaae the system of water works now operated by the Council Bluffs City Water Works company, and that h franchise agreed upon between the city council and the aatd company was sub mitted to the eiectora at a special election and"d d"nUPt' mitted to the electors at a special election said franc hire and proposition therein con talned was rejected ry a large majorny of the electors at said election. That the city council, conforming to the evident Intention of the voters thus ex pressed, has duly advertlaed for bids for a new water works system snd has received one complete bid for the whole of said plsnt, which your committee has carefully ex amined. And your committee hereby recommend that the committee on water works, with the city engineer and city attorney, he Instructed to make such changes, alterations and requirements in the specifications and schedules attached to snd forming a part of said bid as they deem advisable, and that the aald commit tee, with snld officers, then negotiate with the bidder a contract baned upon said hid In accordance with sold plans and specifi cations so modified and report the same to the city council. . Company Willing; to "ell. After the motion to concur In the report of the committee had been adopted by the unanimous vote of the courtcll, Manager Hart was given the floor. He said that he took exception to the portion of the re port, which stated that all reasonable ef forts to purchase the company's plant had been made and 'he reviewed In detail the former negotiations between the company and the city. He stated that he did not wish the Impression to go out that th water works company had refused to sell. The company, h said, had always been willing to sell for cash or bonds that wer good, but until very recently there never had been a time when the city was able to secure the money or to Issue bonds for the purchase of the plant At the suggestion of Councilman Toun kerman the cleric read the message" of former Mayor Macrae relative to th pur chase of the present water works system or the construetlon of a municipal plant. This corroborated what Manager Hart had stated and It waa at thla point I" the discussion that Councilman Jensen In troduced his motion directing; the tommit tee to negotiate with the water worka com pany for the purchase of Its plant. The question of the sufficiency of Wlck ham'a Jild was not brought up, but the council In concurring In tha report of the water works committee gave the commit tee authority to make any changes deemed advlslblo. This action on the part of th council doea not approve the bid of Mr. Wlckham, but merely gives the committee power to "negotiate" with Mr. Wlckham, "a contract" based upon hi bid and re port back to th council.

The West Council Bluffs Improvement club has renewed the agitation for a street car loop connecting the Omaha lines on Avenue A with the Fifth avenue or Union Pacific transfer line at Twenty-first street. The club has, In a formal communication to the company, made the request that a line be built on the alx blocks from Avenue A to Fifth avenue on Twenty-first street Such a connecting link. It Is argued, would serve to give the people of the western part of the city a line to the Union Pacifio transfer depot without compelling them to make the trip around through the business portion of the city. The street railway company is said to be experiencing considerable trouble In se curing Its right-of-way for its proposed ex tension to the Iowa School for the Deaf over the bottoms from the Manawa line.
