FREE BRIDGE BOND ISSUE County Superriiori Listen to Citizens Who Urge Project. PROPOSITION. MAY BE SUBMITTED Salary of Qaaranllae OfHrcr Oae at Passllas: Matter ow Before the Board aalooa lase Costs High. . A eommlttee from the West Council Bluffs ad West End Improvement rluhs, composed of A. C. Keller. W. C. Boyer, C. C. Clifton and C. E. Sparks, appeared before the Board of Supervisors of Potta wattamie county. Iowa. Friday and submitted tha matter of the propoafd free bridge over the Missouri river be tween Council Bluffs snd Omaha. The matter was discussed by the committee and the board more or leas Informally and at the suggestion of the supervisors the committee will present the matter In detail In a written statement in order that the board may have something tangi ble on which to take action. The committee for which President Keller of the West Council Bluffs club acted as principal spokesman told of the meeting held Wednesdsy night In the club house on West Broadway, at which a number of representative Omaha citizens were present. The cost of a bridge such as Is suggested, the committee stated, would not cost over $400,000. Of this amount Pottawattamie county. It was aald. would be expected to raise, by bonds Lor otherwise, one-fourth, or 1100,000. The committee explained to the supervisors the benefits that it was suggested would be derived by both cities from a free bridge. Among the numerous bills" allowed by the board yesterday were 'three covering the months of January, February and March for the care of county patients at St. Bernard's hospital. The three bills aggre gated 11,807 32. and they represent, there fore, an annual expense of about $7,000 for this class of county charges. Under a con tract running for a period of 10 years and terminating In 1911, the hospital Is paid $14 m month for each county patient. Dur ing January the number ot county charges In the hospital were forty-five, during February there were forty-eight and dur ing March there were forty-six. ' Tho board took another turn yesterday at tha salary claim of J. R. Macrae, the city quarantine officer, but without finally reaching any decision. Early; in the after noon the board decided to allow Macrae $t a month for the first three months of this year, the period covered by his bill and. $60 a month thereafter.' Macrae's sal ary, as fixed by the local board of health, was $70 a month. Later In the afternoon the board rescinded this action and will take the matter up again this morning, when it Is believed It will allow the bill In full. The Board of Supervisors will have to determine whether the Issuance of the bonds for the bridge shall be submitted to the electors of the county, and It was to get the members Intereated in tha mat ter that tho committee waited on tnem yesterday. Power to Nasne Officers. While County Attorney Hess holds that the law does not provide for a salaried quarantine officer, -one of the rules of the Slate Board of Health provides "the mayor shall have authority to appoint sanitary police, whose duty It shall ba Jko aid In r the establishment and enforcement of quarantine regulations and such other sanitary regulations as may be provided by the atato or local board of health."" The same rule further provides "the com pensation of such sanitary police shall be the same as that allowed other police of ficers of the city." The members of the police department receive $70 a month. At tha March term of district court J. H. Cupp secured Injunctions against T. J. Griffin and F. J. West, saloonkeepera of Neola and the two went out of business. Both Griffin and West have filed with the Board, of Supervisors petitions aaklng that they be refunded the portion of tha license they had paid In advance, amounting to $1S. The board expressed doubt as to its authority to make this refund In view of the fact "that the saloonmen only went out of business after Injunctions had been ob tained against them. The petitions were referred to the county attorney. 'County Stands Saloon Coats. In connection with the recent crusade against the saloons by Joe Leader of Oak land, acting for the Anti-Saloon league. It devclopa that the county has to stand the costs. One of the actions brought by Leader was against W. P. Kane, who It waa ahown had quit the saloon business In July of last year and consequently th case was dismissed by the court Now the county has to pay the costs and among the bills allowed yesterday afternoon waa the bill of costs In this case presented by Hsrry M. Brown, clerk of the district court. The bills of the two Justices jf the peace m Council Bluffs for aalary were allowed Cnder th new law the Justices In Kane township, which Includes Council Bluff are salaries of $L2U). while th constables receives $1.010. These salaries are paid quarterly. In addition the supervisors may allow amounts not exceeding $300 to each Justice and constables to cover expenses of their offices. The board hesitated about allowing the claims for office expenses and decided to have the county attorney ex amine the law before It passed on these bills. 0K DOLLAR UIVKK TO" MAHEH Jury In District Conrt Make This Award In III Salt. After being out twenty-four hours the distr.ct court Jury In the damage suit of Dan Maher sgalnst Patrolman O. P. Pe terson brought in a verdict at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon of $1 tor the plaintiff. During the forenoon the Jury sent word to Judge Wheeler that there was appar ently no prospects of It reaching an agree ment and asking that it be discharged. Judge Wheeler merely smiled and In structed Captain L. B. Cousins, the court bailiff, to inform the Jury that the mes sage had been delivered. Maher was shot In the thigh by Officer Peterson while attempting escape after being arrested on South Main atreet for disturbing th peace on night In . June of laat year. The wound waa insignificant and it wss claimed by the officer that he only shot to frighten Maher. but that th bullet atriklng a brick wall glanced off and hit the fleeing man.

PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT FAILS Hard FUfct for It I nable to Rrlna It Thronsih (General Tax Levy Remains In rhanaed. I From a Staff Correspondent.) DBS MOINES, la.. April 10 (Speclsl. 1- The leglslsture closed Friday, the last day being drawn out long so that all work could be cleaned up. Not a great amount of Important business wss transscted on the closing day, but everything was hsndled that waa necessary. The chief business of the session has beer to strengthen the enforcement of the laws of the state and to make more nearly perfect the reform legislation of recent years. In this a great deal of good work has been done. The session was notable also for the hard fight for a prohibitory amendment, which failed, and for a large number of repealing bills which failed of passagn. All effort to change the school or road laws failed. Another matter which took up a great deal of time and which came to nothing was the effort to secure changes In the laws for the consolidation of departmenta, for the transfer of de partments and bureaus and for abolition of some offices. Bills In this same line also contemplated the giving to the governor power of removal, but this was not done and on the laat day the legislature virtu ally took from th governor what little authority he had had. ( , The passage of the Board of Education bill was by far the most important men' ure of legislation and this came only after three sessions of hard work -oh the part or a small number of persons. The senate today refused to confirm the appointment of F. F. Jones of Vllllara, for member of the Board of Control and that place will be left vacant. The rejection of both Mr. Jones and Judge Connor was due aolely to the feeling on the part of th legislature that It was a lolatlon of the spirit of the law to remove the only farmer on the board and appoint a lawyer or banker. There waa no 111 feeling against either of th appointees, but a desire that the law should be observed more closely. Closing Business. Tnday the two houses passed the omni bus appropriation bill and the bill fixing salaries about the state house, making rew changes from former years. The so. called lumber trust bill wss amended so as to Include all trusts and combines of every kind and passed. The senate passed a bill to Increase the pay of legislators from $550 to $S00 a session, but the house killed the bill. The hotiso passed the senate bill forbidding Immoral plays. This Is a a rustic measure and will place every the ter under a rigid censorship. The house de feated a bill which had passed the aenate to create a commission to report on the manner of Improving the capltol grounds nd surroundings. The house also defeated a bill to give protection to owners of milk and cream cans. . Approval of Election ky People. The senat took up a house resolution memorlalixlng congress to call a convention for -tho amendment of the United States constitution providing for election of Cnlted States senators by. the people. This was debated briefly and passed 24 to . Thosa who stood out against the plan were Saunders. Glllilland, Whipple, Savage, Hoyt and Proudfoot. The house took up and passed the senate bills providing for greater restrictions on the liquor business, one of them limiting the number of saloons to one for each 1,000 Inhabitants and the other requiring a new form of application for liquor In drug stores. These are th laat of the tem perance bills considered. ' .- Leading; Bills Pasaea. , Following Is a list of lesdlng bills passed by tha thirty-third general assembly of Iowa Just closed.
