TO DIVERT INDIAN CREEK
Mayor Maloney Submit Communica
tion to Council.
WOULD PROCEED UNDER NEW LAW
His Flaa Is to Dig- New Channel from
East End of tha City and
Old One.
Mayor Maloney submitted the following
communication relative to Indian creek to
the city council last night
Shortly after the flood from Indian creek
I stated that I expected to call the at ten
tlon of your body to the necessity of re
llevelng the city of a recurrence of such
floods If It could be found possible to do
so. What I then said seems to have at
tracted the attention of others, but haa not
brought out any practical or definite
method of accomplishing the purpose.
The thirtieth general assembly passed a
law giving to cities the power to protect
against such floods by altering. Improving
eto., water-courses within their limits, and
by the levy of an annual tax for a term of
not more than ten years to pay for such
I Improvements, the assessment on the nrop
erty in tne district directly benefitted Being
ooucie that on the property outside that
district, and the levy not exceeding four
mills In any year. The movement for such
purpose, however, must originate with tne
people and not the council, as It requires a
petition of 100 taxpayers before the coun
ell can take action. This law Is found on
page 176 of the Code Suinlement.
If a petition of that kind were to be
presented to the council the latter could
then take steps to have the city engineer
make plana and est I rr a tea, and the proposi
tion would then have to be submitted to
the voters of the city for approval, so that
the matter would evtnlually hinge upon
the vote of the cltlsens. If they taw fit
to epprovs the proposition It would In no
manner Interfere with carrying out any
other publle Improvement.
It la oulte evident that the floods from
Indian creek are due to the fact that the
channel is insufficient to carry all of the
water that comes to It in times or extraor
dlnarv rains. We cannot widen it because
of the Impiovements along It. To rover It
would not tend the trouttle. Nor would I
be advisable to allow aueh a great volume
of water to flow through the city before
diverting part or It. m my judgment tn
sensible and practicable thing to do Is to
divert part or the water at the east end oi
tne city by constructing an additional cnan
nel of equal or greater capacity than the
creek, and then both channels would take
all of the water without any danger from
overflow. It might result in the building
of a tew more bridges, but would preserve
more than that number now over the creeic,
Any different proposition would. In my
Judgment, cost more than could be raised
by such tax.
As these floods from Indian creek have
cost the city large sums of money and
threatened the health of a great number of
our cttlxens living west of the creek, tt 1
a matter that should engage the earnest
consideration of thla council and the peopi
generally.
Following the reading of the communlca
tlon the mayor briefly explained the sec
tlon of the law quoted by him and sug
gested that steps be taken at once to ob
tain the necessary algnatures to a petltio
so that the city council could take somo
action In the matter.
Councilman Olson expressed the opinion
that there would be no difficulty In secur
ing the required petition and that a propo
sltlon to levy a tax to carry out any scheme
to remedy the Indian creek evil would
carry.
It was suggested that possibly the city
might co-operate with the County Board of
Supervisors In forming a drainage district
but nothing will be done along this line
until after the necessary petition Is secured
and filed with the city council.
Amendment to Milk Ordinance.
. Councilman Jensen Introduced an amend
ment to the recently passed pure milk
ordinance, which provides that milk pas
teurtzed elsewhere In the state or In an
other state may be aold In Council Bluffs,
on condition that persons selling such
milk arrange for the Inspection of their
plant and pasteurising equipment by the
proper Inspector without expense to the
city. This amendment applies particularly
to Omaiia creameries doing business in
this city. An effort to secure the passage
of the amendment under suspension of the
rules failed and It went over to the next
regular meeting.
Licenses for Motor Vehicles.
An amended ordinance licensing and reg
ulatlng common carrlera so aa to Include
motor vehicles was Introduced by City So
licitor Kimball at the Instance of Council
man Younkerman. The ordinance aa pro
posed to be amended makes motor vehicles
used on the public streets for hire subject
to the license fee of 15, the same as hacks.
drays, eto., are. It also provides that
sum of not exceeding (3 an hour can be
charged for the hire of a motor vehicle,
The ordinance was read and than laid over
for a week, and In the meantime the coun
cllmen are to be furnished with copies
of it.
Bids for Cement Walks.
City Engineer Etnyre submitted a tabula
tion of the bids received a week ago for
about UW.OOO square yards of cement side
walk, but the councilman .were apparently
unable to determine who were the lowest
bidders, so the determining of this matter
waa referred to a special committee con
slating of Councilmen Jensen, Younkerman
and McMillan.
An ordinance vacatjng a portion of Thirty,
third street In favor of the Alfalfa Meal
company, which plans erecting a new plant
in the western part of the city, waa passed
under suspension of the rules,.
Plans for Arch. Bridges.
City Engineer Etnyre submitted plans and
specifications for reinforced concrete steel
arch brldgea over Indian creek at North
Eighth and Benton streets. They were ap
proved and the city clerk Instructed to ad'
vertlse for bids. There was some question
as to whether firms bidding should be per

CASE
Congressman Smith Hot Ontlmlstle
Abont the Ontlook.
Congressman Walter I. Smith, who ar
rived home yesterday morning from Wash
ington, V. C. la not at all optimistic about
the B-cent fare case brought by the West
Council Bluffs Improvement clubs against
the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail
way company, being decided by the Inter
state Commerce commission In favor of the
petitioners. In fact Congressman Smith la
of the opinion that the case will not be
determined before next winter and that the
decision will be adverse.
The members of the Interstate Conv
merce commission, Judge Smith said yes
terday have doubts as to their jurisdiction
In the controversy. According to the In
formation obtained by Judge Smith the
members of the commission are divided on
this point. In any case the commission, It
la understood, will not assemble again until
November and consequently no decision can
be looked for until then.
Speaking of the case Judge Smith said
This case was argued about fourteen
months ago and In normal circumstances
decision should have been rendered within
a month or so. i That no decision has been
rendered would indicate that there was
disagreement of somo sort among the
members of the commission and I have
been Informed, although not from what
might be termed an official source, that
It Is over the question of jurisdiction."
Judge Smith, who appeared before the
commission on behalf of the Improvement
clubs of the western part of this city, said
that the question of jurisdiction waa not
brought up at the hearing.
Speaking of the new tariff bill Judge
Smith said:
"The tariff revision Is probably as satis
factory as could have been anticipated. It
eannot be expected that where rates are
to be determined on several thousand
articles by 500 men that any single man will
be satisfied as to the settlement with re
gard to all articles. The tariff, however,
Is reduced on about 600 commodities and It
Is reduced on nearly everything which Is
monpollxed In this country."
Congressman Smith said he expected to
remain In Council Bluffs, except for oc
casionat business trips, until congress re
convenes In December.

Opinion In Freight iHate Caae.
The opinion of the State-Railroad com
mission on the question of whether or not
the commission has the authority to raise
freight rates, Written by ' Commissioner
Eaton, reached the office of the com
mission at the state house today, being
mailed from Mr. Eaton's home at Osage
The opinion has not been read and signed
by the other members of the board as yet,
and so was not given out for publication.
There Is not the slightest doubt, and It Is
known on good authority, that the de
clslon Is to the effect that the commission
has the authority to raise rates. The
other members will sign the paper, and It
will be published tomorrow. The question
was raised because the law seems to be
ambiguous on the point, and lawyers for
the railroads filed briefs and arguments
on the question.

Warm Welcome
Home for Iowa's
Junior Senator
Mr. Cummins it Greeted By Great
Crowd on Hii ArriTal Defends
Vote in Short Speech.
(From Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, August . (Special Tele
gram.) Many thousands ot people thronged
the Rock Island depot grounds tonight and
later the grounds of the Lincoln publlo
school building In extending an enthusastlc
welcome home to Senator A. B. Cummins.
Senator Cummins was taken to the grounds
from the depot tn an automobile accom
panied by a big delegation of cttlxens. The
exercises were short, ending Just an hour
after the arrival of the train.
Declaring that he could not understand
the hearty welcome In the face of the fact
that he brought home no evidence of vie
tory, or trophies of the fight, he discussed
the action of congress briefly by saying:
"I have voted eery time Just as I be
lieved I ought to vote. Whatever I have
said I believed to be the truth; whatever
I have done I believed to be the right. '
Some one, I do not know who, has said
that If I had been more accommodating I
might have gotten more for the people of
Iowa. I have not and never will vote for
what I believe to be wrong In order to se
cure a vote for what I believe to be right.
We have had differences of opinion In
Washington. The republican party be
lieves in certain fundamental principles.
I do not believe that In the action of this
congress those principles have been prop
erly applied. For what I have done I have
no apologies to make. The time will come
when the American people will apply more
Intelligence and scientific study to protec
tion in order to apply It to commerce."
The crowd about the school house
grounds packed a space 200 feet wide by
460 feet long, running considerably Into
the side streets.
