' The Candy Men." Council Bluffs. Ia. ' Cuttlasi Dows Sidewalk Work. At the meeting of the city council to night the' special committee, consisting of Counaclmen Mori. Olson and Skods holm, to which the matter was referred, will recommend that a large batch of the recently ordered sidewalks be cut out of the contracts. The reason for this Is that the cost of construction would be In excess of to cents per lineal foot and that the excess would have to be paid out of the city Improvement fund, which Is already overtaxed. The cement walks, which the committee will recommend be cut out, were ordered on temporary grade. Computations made by the committee and city engineer showed that the excess cost of these walks on temporary grades which the city would have to assume would ag ' grefc-au between J3.0U0 and $4,000. Most of the walks which tha committee will recom mend be cut out are In the Fifth and Sixth ward In th "bottoms," and are Included In the contracts with th Miracle Concrete Construction company of Mln nepol'a Th terms of the contracts re serve to th city th right to cut out any of the walks ordered.

HI message was in the greater part an exhortation to the members, both adult and young, to carry out the plan which he i formed for the work of the association in ) this city. He urged upon the member tbe fact that Council Bluffs was now ripe for the harvest In Toung Men's Christian asso ciation work, but that it would suffer a great loss If not attended' to irrimedlately. If active work was not continued his plans would result in failure. Mr. Curtis spoke at some length on the three main features of the association work the physical, the Intellectual and the spiritual. With the completion of the gym nasium, he said, he was greatly gratified to see the interest that was being displayed In the physical department, which, he de clared, would be of equal benefit to both the young men and the mature business men of the city. That Interest was dis played In the Intellectual features of the work of the association, Mr. Curtis said, had been demonstrated by the Forum weekly meetings which had been held in the former association headquarters tend ing the construction of the new building. The spiritual feature was a feature of tht most vital Importance to the success of the association. The association stood above all things for Christianity and "palsied be the hand that would tear the word Chris tian from our title," declared Mr. Curtis with fervor. In concluding. Mr. Curtis spoke of the pleasant relations that had always existed between him and the off! j rs and members of the association and he thanked ti.e young men especially for the splendid co operation they had given him. Henry Peterson presided at the meeting and Louis Orcutt made a short talk on the membership campaign now being waged Music was furnished by the asseclatluu orchestra and quartet.
