Those who are advocating the mortgag
ing or bonding of the city for every penny
ltt law will permit tell ua.lt la Tor the
rsl Interests of all the cltlxens. They tell
a to "trust to our own horse sense and
not to the paid emissaries of the water
company." This is certainly good advice.
' TA'y tell us a great many other "rosy"
thu that if carried out would be a great
boon to the city. But In view of the fact
hat at least one prominent advocate of ln
lehtedness has told some things that we
know are not true, we' are entitled to the
acts end nut assertions.
AVe want them to deal with Council Bluffs
I tut any outside city. They tell us
(list If we vote the bonds our taxes will
e no higher, but that on the contrary, the
taxes win ue lower, ana ine cuy necome
a hive of industry and happiness. By what
method of financial Jugglery do they pro
pose to pay 5 per cent on fW.oi) for two
years during the period of construction
without increasing our taxes? By what
nulhod of ledgerdemain do they propose
crea'.c a stinking fund to refund those
ids, during construction period, without
teasing our taxes? Do they consider It
n the Interest uf good government and In
the Interest of all the people to bond the
Ciiy beyond endurance lo furnish only part
of 'the city Willi watpr.
Uu those gentlemen consider It right to
leave a square mile of residence property
In the western part of the city without
water or fire protection, and at the same
time expect those property owners thus
neglrfted to pay Interest on bonds and re
funding tax.
Is it not true that the J3.GG9.C8 paid Into
the city as royally from the gas company
made It possible for the city to buy coal
for the city hall, pay for the special elec
tion and pay the expert engineer hla ")?
la It nut true that, were It not for this
royalty the city would have to meet a dif
ficult problem?
Do those gentlemen consider that Coun
cilman Ma limey uml his colleagues made
a mistake when they made their contract
with the gss company?
la It not a taut that the city of Council
Bluffs hits the most Inadequate system
of sewerage of any first or second class
city In the west?
la it not a fact that the city Is in great
need of a sewerage system at the present
time? If ao, where do these gentlemen
propose to obtain the funds for tins pur-
fl pose, if the city Is bonded to Its limit?
The above are a few questions that many
people who are not paid emissaries of the
water company would like to have ans
wered. PETER DONNELLY.

A Remarkable Change of Front.
Several month ago the advocates of Im
mediate municipal ownership regardless of
corjseciuences to the city, Insisted that plan
should be prepared for a municipal plant
and bids advertised, o that the cltlxens
might know what waa contemplated by the
council. Mr. Etnyre waa Instructed to pre
pare and did prepare plan for a municipal
plant. Elaborate specifications were printed
and an official map prepared and expensive
advertising was Indulged in, calling atten
tion cf bidder to the proposed plant from
one end of the country to the'other. When
the bids were opened one lone bid was
found, made by a local lotvtractor, for
1631.000. an amount' far In excess of the
constitutional limitation.
The guardians of our city Immediately
ordered a contract to be made with this
contractor. Then some men of sober sense
and judgment suggested that It might be
well first to employ a hydraulic engineer
who kniew something about water works
building to check over these plan. At an
expence of 1300 this was done and In a
thlrty-f ive-page communication the expert
declared the plans must be materially
changed and altered and the most Import
ant thing he was able to find In the whole
transaction wti that the local contractor
would clean up some $110,000 on the Job.
Do you wonder the council had trouble
In getting out of thl contract and Inducing
the contractor to take back hi $13,000 certi
fied check? Immediately our guardians
changed front. No longer was It important
that the cltlxen and taxpayer know what
kind of a plant ha was to have. N'o longer
was It of advantage that the mam now
without water service or fire protection
know before he helped plunge the city Into
$600,000 of Indebtedness that he would have
water or fire protection. No longer wa
it of moment whether or not the city be
furnished with clear, clean, sparkling,
filtered water.
Now they aay Just let us gat our hands
on that great big bunch of fiuO.Ooo arxl we
will do the rest. You will get what we give
you once we get you to vote the $10.000.
We will organize a company to see that
you do vote the bonds. If you wanted to
buy a house or lot, or a horse, or a cow,
would you put a bunch of money in any
one' hands and say "Here Is the last cent
I can dig up for the next twer.ty years, go
out and purchase?" Wouldn't you want a
string to it so that you would know what
kind of a house and lot, or a horse, or a
cow you were to own for the next twenty
years? Wouldn't you want a house you
could live In. a horse you could drive or a
cow you could milk?
Why should we not ue as much busi
ness sagacity Irs spending JtXO.ono as we
would In spending JflflO or $1H0 or SriO?
Why this remarkable change of front?
Isn't it "ridiculous and nonsense?" Don't
you think ome one of the bunch owe you
an explanation?
The council started out to let u know
what we were going to get for our money,
now it inaiata It be given all thla money and
perhaps will let us know what we will got
for it afterwards. a TAXPAYER.

BATTEY HM1S 1 HF.KIGN ATION
Ouster gait Against Hint Is The
Stricken from the Docket.
Judge Thornell In district court yester
day dismissed the ouster action brought
last April by County Attorney J. J. Hess
on order of Judge Wheeler against H. V.
Battey, clerk of the district court, who
was suspended from office April 11. The
dismissal was entered by Judge Thornell
after Mr. Battey had handed 1n to court
his written resignation. Thl resignation
will bo formally filed this morning with
the county auditor.
Mr. Battey, accompanied by his attor
ney, Charles M. Harl, appeared before
Judge Thornell yesterday and after a brief
consultation with the court handed, him
Ms resignation, which It is understood Is
to take effect from today, when it will
be filed with the county auditor as the
law requires.
County Attorney Hess offered no objec
tion to the dismissal of the action beyond
Insisting that the resignation be filed with
the county auditor.
The dismissal of the action brought by
the county attorney to oust Mr. Battey
from the office of clerk of the district
court ha no bearing on the order of sus
pension made by Judge Wheeler and from
which Mr. Battey has appealed to the su
preme court.
Mr. Battey expects to practice law and
for that reason waa anxious that the ous
ter case,, the second trial of which was
still pending, be disposed of. Mr. Battey,
It Is understood, paased the examination
for admission to the bar a few weeks ago,
but had not received a certificate ponding
tine disposition of the ouster suit.
Mr. Battey' suspension from the office
of clerk of the district court last April
followed the report made by an expert
accountant employed by the Board of
Supervisors to check over the books and
account of the office. The accountant re
ported a number of alleged irregularities,
Including alleged alteration and erasures In
the records and that Mr. Battey had failed
to turn over funds In his hands to the
county as ha should have done.
Since the action was Instituted against
him Mr. Battey has turned over to the
county between $5,000 and $0,000 and thero
Is still a suit pending against hia bonds
men, brought by Pottawattamie county, to
recover mcnty alleged to have been wrong
fully retained by Mr. Battey. County At
torney Hess stated last evening that as
soon a Mr. Battey' resignation was filed
with the county auditor he would then be
In a position to bring suit on behalf of the
county for the money which Mr. Battey I
alleged to still owe the county.

BIG HIT OVER A SMALL SP.M
Principle of Importance to Shippers Is
Involved.
While the amount aued for is only $50,
a question which Is Bald to be of much
Importance to shipper Is Involved In a
suit brought In the district court yester
day by David Bradley & Co. against the
Milwaukee Railway company. Although
the ault Is brought In the name of David
Bradley & Co., other shippers are back
of It and It has been Instituted as a test
case.
In the petition It is set out that about
July 1 of this year the plaintiff company
ordered a shipment of wagons from a
firm In Winona, Minn., to be transported
to Council Bluffs over the lines of the
defendant road. The shipment was de
livered to the railroad company July 3,
but did not reach the warehouse of the
plaintiff company until July 16, although
the ordinary time for such conveyance,
It is contended, is but three days.
It Is alleged that David Bradley & Co.,
relying upon the ordinary time required
to carry goods from Winona to this city,
engaged from the Burlington railroad a
car In which to reshlp to distributors at
Crawford, Neb. Owing to the delay of the
Milwaukee road In bringing the shipment
to Council Bluffs the plaintiff company
was forced to hold the Burlington car
five day and was compelled to pay th
Burlington $5, or $1 a day demurrage on
the car.
It-Is related In the petition that the
Milwaukee and the Burlington are both
members of the organization known a
the Western Car Service association, and
that the amounts thus collected as de
murrage become a part of the profits of
the association. The contention of the
plaintiff company Is that the Milwaukee
as a member of the association I In
effect receiving profits through de
murrage charge made possible hy Its
own negligence by failure to deliver the
goods fur shipment within a reasonable
time. The amount of damages asked Is
$50.

City Council Proceeding.
The city council failed yesterday after
noon to pass the ordinance fixing the sal
ary of tho city physician at $ao over the
veto of Mayor Maloney. The passage of
ine measure over the veto required mx
votes and Councilmen Bellinger, McMillan
and Younkerman .voted to sustain the veto.
Mayor Maloney refused to algn the ordi
nance because the compensation he con
sidered wa not commensurate with the
work asked of the city physician.
The failure of the council to pass this

pensation of the city physician exactly
where It waa aeveral month ago. For the
firt quarter of the fiscal year City Phy
sician Tubba drew pay at the rate of $io0
per annum, the salary paid hi predeces
sor In office. Even had the ordinance been
passed. Dr. Tubbs would not have ac
cepted the lower salary without taking th
matter Into the courts. He takea the po
sition that the city, by paying him at th
rat of $500 per annum for the first quar
ter, established his compensation at that
figure and that under the state law hi
sslsry could n it be changed during Ms

C. B. C. WATER WORKS COMPANY.
Contract for Anditorluu.
At a meeting of the Auditorium company
yesterday afternoon It was decided to award
the contract for the construction of the
proposed building next Monday. Several
bids, It Is understood, are In the hands of
F. E. Cox, the archltert, but bills will bo
received to noon Monday.
The work of putting In the concrete
foundation is nearly two-thirds completed
and will be finished hy the end of the next
week, unless the weather Interferes.
While the officers of the company realize
that the time Is getting exceedingly short,
they are hopeful that the building will bo
sufficiently completed to be used for the
purposes of the National Horticultural con
gress In December. "We realise that there
Is but little time In which to get the build
ing ready," said P. C. DeVol. ono of the
directors, yesterday, "but we hope to be
able to turn the place over to the decora
tion committee of the National Horticul
tural congress by December 6, and I be
lieve we will be able to do so If we have
reasonably good weather. All we expect to
do by that time Is to get the four walls
up and the roof on. If we have time we
will put the floor in, but if there Is not
sufficient time we will be obliged lo con
struct a temporary flooring for the fruit
show. I presume a temporary heating ays
tern will have to be Installed for the fruit
ahow and probably the building could be
ufflclently heated with aeveral large
tovea."
I he 3 per rent bonus offored by the
water company would amount to less than
$3,000 per year.
Why should the city not own the water
plant and put each year $;5.nno Into the
city treasury over and above the payment
of annual interest and sinking fund?
We have paid In hydrant rentals alone
to the old water company $700,000. Why
not pay this from now on Into the city
treasury to pay off the $tj00.000 bond Issue
and own our own water plant? This Is
only one Item think of tho private water
rentals, which have run high Into the hun
dreds of thousands.

BAPTISTS CLOSK THEIR SESSION
Contest Over Rival Denominational
Colleaes Not Revived.
IOWA FALLS, la., Oct. 24.-(Speclal.)-
The annual Iowa State Baptist convention
cloeed here this evening after a very sue
cessful session of five days, during which
time 4o0 delegates from all parts of the
state were registered. The homes of the
city wero opened to the delegates and all
were well taken care of. Dr. W. B. Riley
of Minneapolis addressed the convention
last evening. At the business meeting of
the convention S. B. Hutchinson of Musca
tine was elected president of the conven
tion, the Rev. 8. E. Wlloox of Dcs Moines
secretary and superintendent of the state
missionary work, and S. E. Sporty of the
same city wa chosen treasurer.
The report of the state missionary so
ciety showed that after an unusually good
year In missionary work in the state a bal
ance of $1,400 was left In the fund. The
efforts of this society will be redoubled
the coming year and a larger sum than In
the past will be apont In this work. It
seemed to be the sentiment of the conven
tion that the contest over the consolida
tion and recognition of the rival denomina
tional colleges be not revived this year
and that each school be urged to do Its
best work Individually.
In this way the convention seems to have
pased over a heated question that stirred
up a great discussion last year at Orin
nell when an effort was started looking
to the consolidation of the Central rollege
at Pella and the Des Moines rollege and
the recognition of the thus united rollege
as the denominational school of the state.
It waa decided hy the convention to take
hold of the Iowa state Baptist Sunday
school assembly grounds In this city and
make the place worthy of the name. The
banquet of the Dea Moines college stu
dents and ulumnt was held at he Women's
Relief corp hall lHMt evening and over 100
plates were laid.
