ritOCEEIllMiS OF I IT V COUNCIL
Hide for Half Million Kqaare Feet of
of Sidewalk Opened.
Bids for about 600.000 square feet of ce
ment sidewalks ere opened by tha city
council last night, and after being read
were referred to the city engineer for
tabulation. The sidewalks on which bids
were Invited are divided Into twenty-three
aectlons, each section designed to consti
tute about $2,000 worth of work, as provided
by the new sidewal ordinance. The work
of tabulation, owlg to the different prices
for grading, wllbe tedious and City En
gineer Etnyre stated that he expected it
would take at least a week to complete It.
The bids ranged from 8.1 cents to 11 cents
a square foot, with varying ratea for grad
ing, which might be necessary. Wickham
Is thought to be low bidder on at least
ten sections, while Peter Nelson appears
to bo the low man on most of the others.
The bidders were J. J. Hughes, Peter
Nelson, E. A. Wlckham, James P. Wick-j
ham, Council Bluffs Concrete company,
Miracle Pressed Stone company of Minna-1
apolls, Stephen H. Conner, Kimballton
Construction of Kimballton, la. Some of
the bids covered all of the work for which
contracts are to be let, while others In
cluded only part of the proposed work.
The entire work will aggregate about
$50,000.
The matter of enforcing the pure milk
ordinance waa brought up by Councilman
Jensen, who wanted to know how soon
It was going to be made operative. City
Solicitor Kimball suggested that before
putting the new measure into force rules
should be adopted by the local Board of
Health, as provided for In the ordinance. A
committee consisting of Councllmen Jen
sen, Moixan and Olson was appointed to
act wlih the city solicitor In formulating
such rules ancr report to the Board of
Health a$ si on a? possible.
Councilman Younkerman Introduced his
ordlniiui e providing for the stringent reg
ulation of "dry cleaning" establishments,
and k committee composed of himself and
Coiincilmen Morgan and Jensen was ap
pointed to confer with the proprietors of
such establishments with a view to agree
ing upon an ordinance.
In accordance with the auggestlon con
talned In a letter from President Wlnchell
of the Rock Island road to General E. V.
Test, relative to the proposition of a union
depot in Council Bluffs, Mayor Maloney
appointed a committee consisting of Coun
cllmen McMillan, Rldgon and Olson to
act with a committee which the Commer
cial club will be requested to name, with
a view to arranging a date for a meeting
in this city of the heads of the several
railroads centering here. The matter of a
union depot has been agitated in some
quarters, but It ia understood that the
Illinois Central and Some of the other
roads do not care to entertain such a prop
osition at this time.
Councilman Younkerman brought up the
matter of requiring owners of automobiles
used for hire to pay a license, the aame
aa ownera of hacks and express wagons
are required to pay. City Solicitor Kim
ball suggested that it would be necessary
to pass an ordinance, and will draw up
one.
City Physician Tubbs, during the discus
sion, suggested that all vehicles be re
quired to carry a rear light at night, but
Mayor Maloney declared he would refuse
to sign such an ordinance.
"I am now working on an ordinance to
require all pedestrians to carry a light at
night," said Councilman Jensen, with an
expressive wink, and this put a quietus on
the city physician's suggestion.
Complaint was made that the North
western railroad had not carried out Its
agreement to keep the Mynster Springs
road In proper condition for traffic while
carrying out its Improvements In its yard
and the city marshal was directed to stop
the railroad from using this thoroughfare
further until It fulfilled its promise.
The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail
way company, In a communication, signi
fied Its willingness to comply with the re
quest of the council that It erect a guard
rail along Its track adjacent to Indian
creek on East Broadway, where the bank
has become dangerous after the recent
floods. At the suggestion of Councilman
Jensen the work ia to be done under the
supervision of the city engineer.
City Auditor McAneny received tha fol
lowing communication relative to the Ind
ian cieek problem yesterday from Charles

that are necessary to dig them out. and win
