if that was their little boy. and they said
yea, and th lady said they could not

they left and went to another place, with
the same result. After trying all forenoon

PLAN TO DIVERT INDIAN CREEK
Mayor Maloney'i Scheme Ditcnised
from Several Standpoints.
STREAM'S RAVAGES ARE COSTLY
Aaanal Eipem to City I A boat
aiSiOOO, Beside f.oeaee Sustained
by Owners of PrlTate
Property.
That com definite stop should ba taken
by the municipal officials to prevent th
periodical overflow of Indian creek by di
verting th stream at the city limits or
by any other plan which may b found
feasible is the general opinion. .
"Mayor Maloney' aohem to divert th
creek at th city limit seems a good one,'
said a well-known Broadway merchant yea
terday. "1 do not know whether auch a
plan Is practicable, but If It I I tor on
am In favor of the city doing aomethlng
definite In this direction. The expense an
nually to th city of repairing th damage
after one of thee periodical flood I
not only large, but the damage to property
and business on Broadway and adjacent
territory Is enormou. Th proposition to
bond th olty. If thl can be done, to carry
out som schema of diverting th creek
would b an economic proposition In the
long run."
A conservative estimate place th coat
annually of repair to th bridge ovr
Indian creek and cleaning th streets aftar
each successive overflow of th tream
at $15,000. Thl sum would be 5 pr cent
on t"00 004, and if this amount waa expanded
In diverting the creek or In carrying out
ome other plan to prevent these con
stant overflows, the taxpayer would not
b paying any more than they are now
Then, again, a a city official pointed out
yesterday, there would not be yearly the
Immense los to property owner that thr
now Is every time th creek leave , Its
banks.
If th crack could b diverted and It la
believed the acheme I practicable, It
would do away with the necessity of
bridges and the prospective large xpenge
of replacing the present structures with
concrete bridge. By diverting th creek
the bed of the stream could be filled In
and utilised for a large main atorm sewer.
This would giv hundred of acre of
valuable ground to the owner of prop
erty abutting on the creek.
It ha bean suggested that th diverting
of the creek could be made part of a
he storm sewerage system for the city,
for the construction of which bonds oould
be IrsuihI provided the proposition met
with favor at the hands of the voter.
Mayor Maloney has been unable to con
sult City Solicitor Kimball on thffe phase
ef the question aa Mr. Kimball 1 at
present out of the city, but other attor
neys with whom he has discussed th
proposition have expressed th opinion
that thl could be done.
City Treasurer True ha In hi possession
the copy of a report made twenty-five
years ago by Boneiette Williams, a civil
engineer, who at that time mad plana
for a sewerage system in Council Bluff.
In that report Mr. William says: "The
most difficult thing with which w hav
to contend, as It Is now the great draw
back to the city' prosperity, la Indian
creek."
As a remedyy Mr. William mad the
suggestion In his report to divert th
creek from Its present channel at . th
north city limits by means of a tunnel
through the bluffs to the Missouri river,
This would serve to drain the nine squar
miles of watershed above the city. As
it now I the creek receive all the water
from the hills, thus causing the periodic
overflow and resultant destruction. Thl
Mr. Williams estimated coould be don at
a cost of about $200,000.

It I sat to say that cold shiver ran
down th spin of many a saloon kepnr in
Council Bluff when be took up hi news
paper yesterday morning and read the dis
patch from Vt Moines relative to a con
struction placed on the Moon law by At
torney General Bycra. The aaloonman hav
received soma hard knocks lately, but lomi
of them war Inclined to regard th an
nouncement from the attorney general' of
fice a a solar plexus blow. Som of them.
howver, expressed the hop that It wa
not as bad a It seemed.
"I wonder." said one aaloonman, "If thl
I what District Superintendent Chamber
of the Iowa Antl-Paloon league referred to
when he said recently that he still had
aomethlng up hi levT"
County Attorney He wa Inclined to
th opinion that th ruling of the attorney
general will not affect the saloons In thl
olty to any great extent. "I had expected
to hear today from Mr. Byer," ald Mr
He, "and In th abenc of a copy of hi
construction of this law I am, ot course,
unabl to say with any posltlveness what
ffect It will have locally. From what I
hare read In th dispatches from D
Moines, however, I am of the opinion that
most of the permit Issued by the city
council will hold good. In a few cases It
may be that the permits will be held void
and the saloonmen now doing business
under them will have to quit."
Th situation In Council Bluff I con
ceded to b somewhat complicated. Owing
to th orusad mad against the local sa
loons iy the Iowa Antl-Paloon league and
others, the saloonmen deemed It best to
start over Just prior to the Moon law go
ing Into effect on an entirely new basis.
