In driving the piling for the new con
crete bridge over Indian creek at Bryant
atreet, one of the large, water mains waa
found to crosa the bed of the stream at
a point where one of the concrete plera
la to bo constructed. The question of
whether the city or the water works com
pany should be at the expense of moving
tha main has arisen.
Councilman Jensen assuming that as
chairman of the committee on water work
and other public utilities he had the
authority to order the company to move
the main, did so. E. W. Hart, general
manager of the water company, while
willing to more the main takes the posi
tion thai an order for changing Its posi
tion ahould come from the city council
as a body and not from an Individual
member of It. even if that member be
chairman of a committee, tf the water
company recognUed the authority of Mr.
Jenasn In the matter, later the chairman
of the committee on city bridges or some
other municipal department might order It
moved second time, la the contention of
Mr. Hart.
Mr. Hart also takes 'he position that the
expense of moving the main should be
borne by the city and not by hta com
pany. Lett froaa Water Canpaay.
During the day Mr. Hart sent to Coun
cilman Jensen the following formal reply
to the latter's message Instructing the com
pany to move the main:
J. Chris Jensen, chslrman of committee
on water works. Telephone and telegraph.
Council Bluffs. Ta.:
Dear Sir: In reply to your recent tele
phone communication In which you re
quested us to move the eight-Inch wator
main which crosses Indisn creek st Bry
ant street, from its present position, we
would say. that we will be very glad to
comply with your, request If you will
have the council order the pipe moved,
and desumata the point to which tha
council wishes It moved, and at the same
time assume the expense of the work and
material neceasary to tha moving of thw
pine.
From your statement of the situation,
we understand that tha work on the
bridge will be delayed unless this work
Is done at once, and. while It Is not
convenient for us to do It now. we will
take our men off of tha work that they
are now engaged In and have them mova
the pipe with all the spoed possible.
We regret that tha question of moving
the pipe was left unattended to until the
last minute, tt would have saved a good
deal of time If the matter could have been
taken up at tha last council meeting, or
at a previous council meeting at which
time K was decided to put he bridge
across tha creek at this point.
While we were In no wty to j blame
for this oversight, ws feel such an In
terest In the rapid completion of this
bridge work that wa are willing to do
everything that we ran" consistently- to
assist the contractors In then work. Tours
truly. Council Bluffs City Water Works
company. By EDWARD W. HART,
General Manager.
Tha main which has been found to be in
the way of the piling was laid In US$ under
direction of the city council. It la one of
the principal feeders of the water ayatem
on the north aide of the creek eaat of
Eighth street. Suspension of service from
the Bryant street main would, Mr. Hart
said, seriously Impair tha water service
north of the creek. The length of time
which would be required to make the
change would depend, ha raid, on tha con-
ditlons under which the change waa to be
made and the placo des'mateo by tha coun
cil for the relocation of the main. v
Councilman Jensen stated1 yeaterday aft
ernoon that he had been advised by City
Solicitor Kimball that tha water works
company must move tha main without ex
pense to. the city. Inaamuch aa tha city
council will meet next Monday night. Mr.
Jsnswi said he had decided not to take any
action In the matter until after that time.
Mr. Jensen said that work on driving the
piling could proceed without moving tha
main Immediately. ,

Charles M. Harl nf the firm of Harl A
Tlnley. local attorneys for the Omaha
Council Bluffs Street Railway company, on
hla return yesterday morning from Dea
Moines, where a shearing waa had before
Attorney General Byera upon the question
of the paymenlt of a filing fee of $15,000 for
Incorporation' papers and the penalty for
falling to file amounting to over 20,000,
had thla to aay on the matter:
The contention of the Omaha Council
Bluffa Street Railway company Is that tha
statute la unconstitutional; that It cannot
apply to this corporation,, and that In no
case can the penalty clause be enforced
against this company for failure to pay
the filing fee.
"We think there la no ground at all for
the taxing of the penalty, far at the time
of the Incorporation John L. Webster con
aulted Attorney General Mullan, raising the
queation of the liability for the fee. The
attorney general at that tlma said that If
the conclusion was reached that the com
pany was liable for the fee the company
would be notified, and there waa no noti
fication until the matter waa taken up by
Attorney Jeneral Byera.
"The atandlng of the company In Council
Bluffa la given it by the United States gov
ernment, it having been granted the right
to cross ths river and dp interstate bust
nesa, which carries with It the right to do
business In Council Bluffs. That right can
not ba Interfered with by the state. Under
thla charter tha company cannot be ousted
from ths city. Along with this government
charter la tha government contract for
carrying ths United 'tates mall between
the two state
"We contend that tha statute requiring an
interstate transportation company to pay
a filing feo la unconstitutional upon grounds
the converse of those upon which ths em
ployers' liability waa declared unconstitu
tional in tha United States supreme court.
It waa held by that court that the federal
government could not legislate with refer
ence to damages which might be secured
by men employed by Interstate companies,
if auch men were not actual! engaged In
Interstate business.
"The contention of the street railway
company Is that the state cannot legislate
with reference to interstate business, and
that the statute Is unconstitutional because
It makes no discrimination between the
companies doing Interstate business and
those doing Intrastate business."

STATUS OF. MISSOURI RATES
Experts gar Aay RcadJaslaaeat Weald
Bo Disastrous to Larger
Cities.
KANSAS CITY. Nov. 14-Missoui i s ge
ographical position near the center of the
United States and Its relstlon to the great
trans-continental railroad make low rates
In the state Impractical, according to the
opinions of railroad experts who testified
In the Missouri rale cases today.
Columbus Hale, vice prealdent and traffic
manager of the Missouri, Kansas & Texaa
railroad, said that low freight and paasen.
ger ratea In Missouri would disturb the
fabric of rates In general force In the
United States. The testimony of two other
experts was practically the same. Mr.
Hale testified that It la not possible to
lower the state rates in Missouri without
seriously affecting the Inter-state businesi
across the continent.
He also bellevea thst the great commer
cial rentera. Chicago, 8t- Louis and Kan
sas City, would suffer more than the rail
roads by a ahakeup In the tariffs.
Gsrdlner Lathrop, general sol'r'itor for
ths Atchison, Topeka at Santa Fe. asked
ths witness how the cities would be Af
fected by a radical change in the ratea
"The preaent ratea were so sdjusted
that great commercial centers, such as the
three named were developed," the witness
replied. He added: "I believe tf the prea
ent economic conditions were disturbed the
business to a very great extent would be
Lifted front the preaent commercial cen
ters to auailer citiea and towns. Aa a re
ol Kuppenheimer. Chicago
sult there would be more towns and
smaller cities and fewer great centers, aa
it Is in Iowa.
If the bulk of the business Is taken away
from the present centers the great stock
arda. elevators and other enormous facil
ities woyid become a loss."
The hearing opened thla morning with C.
R. Gray, second vice prealdent of the SL
Louis at San Francisco railroad, still oa
the witness stand. Mr. Gray took the
atand laat Wedneaday afternoon and baa
been undergoing rroaa-examinatlon by W.
F. Lehman n, for tha atate, for more than
a full day. The opening queatlona today
had to do with the cost per mile for oper
ating a railroad in Missouri, and the cost
per ton for handling freight.
