PLANS FOR OPENING STREETS
Vine and First Avenue Thoe Now
Being Considered.
NEW CITY HAIL CONTEMPLATED
Financial Condition of tne City Pre
rlades Anything Rein Dose with
the Projects Darin Present
Fiscal Year.
The purchase of several lots on Broad
way at the northwest corner of Seventh
street as a site for a new city hall, the
opening of Vine street through to North
Main atreet by the purchase of ground
south of Indian creek between Bryant and
Main streets, the opening of First avenue
through to Fourth street by the purchase
of brick stores onMsln street and residence
property on Fourth street, and the con
struction of a concrete' bridge over Indian
creek at North Eighth street, were among
some of the big things discussed at the
meeting "bf the city council yesterday after
noon. The bridge at Eighth street will probably
be constructed some time this year, but In
view of the fact that the Indebtedness of
the municipality is at present In excesa of
the constltutlonal'llmlt the other proposi
tions will not. It Is expected, mature In the
near future.
The matter of opening Vine street and
First avenue was first brought up by Al
derman Younkerman, and at his suggestion
referred to the committee of the whole.
Mr. Younkerman declared that the open
ing of First avenue through to Fourth
street would make a business street of the
latter and he had been assured, he said,
that H. H. Van Brunt and other business
.men Interested would be willing to bear a
considerable part of the expense of open
ing First avenue.
The cost of extending Vine street through
to North Main street, Mr. Younkerman con
tended, would not be great as the property
between Bryant and Main street was not
very valuable.
lte for City Hall.
In connection with the suggestion made
by Councilman Younkerman that the city
should take steps' to acquire a site for A
new city hall building. City Treasurer True
advised that the. property at the corner of
Broadway and Seventh be purchased by
the tity If It could raise the. money, as the
lots could be bought now for much less
than the city would be able to secure them
a few years hence. "It would bo- a good
proposition for the city to buy this , prop
erty now, even If a new city hall cannot
be built for several years," declared Treas
urer True.
The advisability of replacing the present
bridge over Indian creek at North Eighth
street with a concrete structure was sug
gested by Councilman Jensen, and on his
motion the city engineer was Instructed to
prepare the plans and specifications. It
was stated that Jhere probably would be
sufficient caah In the bridge fund by fall
' bulM the new bridge.
. Terminal Tsi Resolution.
The following resolution was adopted, as
It was expected that City Solicitor Kimball
and City Treasurer True would go to Dca
Moines last night, but near the cloae of the
council session Mr.- Kimball received word
that the further hearing before the waya
and meana committee bad been postponed
until next week:
Whereas. A bill Is now pending before

problem of terminal taxation recognise In
the bill a more fair. Just and equitable
dlstilbutlon of assessment valuation of he
railroads, and

a railroad throughout the' state Is about' In
proportion to the general distribution of
its property, and I
Whereaa, We recnanlze the efforts that
has been made by Senator flaundera In be
half of said bill and the cause which It
renreaents. therefore be It
Resolved. Thst the cltv council of the
city of Council Bluffs does herby com
mend Senator Blunders for hla enthusiastic
SUDDOlt Of said measure and th wnrlr Vi
I has done In presenting the same and that
we request and demand from our represen
tatives In the general assembly that they
aunport thla meaaure to the end that tha
cltlsena of Council Bluffs and the farmers
of Pottawattamie county shall have their
just and fair meaaure and proportion for
taxation phi-roses of the nssessed valuation
of railroad property within the city and
county.

PLEAS FOR PROHIBITION
Legislature Being: Flooded-with Peti

CHANGE IN RULE ON NEGLIGENCE
i
Moaae Refases to Extras' Provisions
of Commission Form of fiovern
mtal to titles of the
Second Class.
(From a Stsff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Feb. 24.-(Speclsl.) The
temperance forces of the state descended
upon the Inglslature today and poured out
a great volume of petitions in favor of the
submission to the voters of an amendment
to the constitution forbidding sales of
liquors. An Immense quantity of these
petitions was dumped Into the committee
rooms, and the clnlm Is made by the per
sona Interested that the number of signers
how reaches about 45.000. No action has
been taken ir either branch of the legisla
ture Indicating that the matter will be
started on its way to a place In the con
stitution. Committee for Resubmission.
By a vote of 12 to 6 the house committee
on the suppression of Intemperance voted
for the resubmission of a constitutional
amendment prohibiting the sale and manu
facture of liquor In Iowa and urged the
pansage of the bill.
Only two republicans cast their votes
against the meaaure and the resolution was
carried without discussion. The fight will
be waged on the floor of the house this
week. Opposed to resubmission will be a
small body of determined republicans. An
effort will be made to substitute the Cas
sons bill for the enforcement of the ex
isting law. It Is predicted that the senate
committee on suppression of intemperance
will not report favorably upon It.
Change Rnle as to Risks.
The senate today spent three hours de
bating the Teterson bill to change the rule
ot law as to contributory negligence and
the assumption of risks by railroad men.
The Mil provides that In damage suits con
tributory negligence of the employe shall
not be a bar to recovery, but .shall be
considered In measuring the damages, and
as to assumption of the ordinary risks
sf the employment that Is not to be pleaded
as against the railroad man. Senator
Saunders offered an amendment somewhat
similar to that which was placed upon the
national law by the United States senate
limiting the ' assumption of risk rule to
cases where the railroad company has
violated some law. This was defeated and
the bill was passed.
Commission Plan Not Extended.
The house refused, after a long debate,
to give the people of cities of the second
class in Iowa a chance to vote In favor
of adoption of the commission plan of city
government. There was much opposition
to thla on the ground that the law was ns
yet an experiment and that it was unwise
to try it on the smaller cities of the state.
The house passed the O'Connor bill To
create the office of state Inspector of ho
tels and to require that hotels shall have
fire apparatus and fire escapes.
New Bills.
Senator De Armand introduced a bill to
strengthen the law aa to carrying fire
arms. Senator Ream Introduced a bill to make
use of Jail convicts on public road work
or other public work and to pay to their
families SI a day.
Senator Moon Introduced a bill to amend
the pi-eBonL law aa to selection of juries
and to provide that Juries shall be selected
from a larger Hat. ,
The senate on vote refused to recon
sider the vote by which It late Monday
afternoon passed tht Ham ml 11 bill to for
bMt sales of liquor to persons who have
been Inmates of drink cure establishments.
Normal School Name.
Another effort Is to be made to effect a
change In the name of the State Normal
school. A number of the senators believe
that If a stand had been taken simply to
change the name to "Normal college" in
stead of the "Teacher's college," It would
have been successful. The bill on final
vote had 22 votes. One who voted agalnat
It has changed and moved to reconelder.
Thla Is Senator Chapman. There were also
three ot the democrats who failed to vote
for the bill, and as Senator DeWolf, who
fathered the bill, is popular- with the demo
crats. It la believed these three can be won
ever to support the bill largely as a, com
pi. -ient to the aenator from Grundy. There
was really a good deal of feeling stirred up
over the bill because of a prevalent feeling
that there waa something back of it more
Important than merely a desire to get a
chance at the Carnegie pension fund. In
fact It was practically admitted on the
floor of the aenate that the achool can now
secure the benefits of the Carnegie pension
fund by showing that the atandard Is right.
The moat serious accusation against the
bill was that It was. a covert attempt to
legalise the change In character of the
normal school and to open the way for
larger appropriations by reaaon of the In
stitution being In fact a college or unlver
slty. The motion to reconsider Is on the
senate calendar.
The bill to Increase the pay of shorthand
reporters Is having some difficulty getting
out of the hands of a hosse committee,
but the reporters are confident they will
get some kind of a report this week. It
