1CITY
MAY TAKE ACTION
TOWARD CONDEMNATION
Likelihood Municipality Will Bo la
Readiness to Take Water Plaat
y When Can Get It.
It la possible that steps will shortly be
taken by the city council looking toward
condemnation proceedings against the
Council Bluffs City Water Works com
pany, and the acquirement of the plant by
the city.
City Solicitor Clem F. Kimball has recom
mended that this be done on the grounds
that the difficulty in determining what
parties own the bonds of the company, and
the further difficulty of coming to an
agreement with them for a purchase price
of the plant, and the appeal from the bond
Issue voted to build or purchase a plant,
makes the condemnation proceedings about
the only practical solution of the tangle,
and that the proceedings should bo carried
on simultaneously with the appeal recently
made by the C. B. Nash company of
Omaha, so that when the bond case Is de
cided that the city would be in position to
take immediate action.
Mr. Kimball waa authorised by the city
several weeks ago to negotiate with the
stockholders of the company to come to
some agreement on the purchase price, but
oothing has resulted from these confer
ences yet. It' la understood, however, that
a committee Is being qrganlzed by the
holders of the first mortgage bonds of the
company to take care of their Interests.
The second mortgage securities are prac
tically valueless, as no settlement la antici
pated which will be sufficient to pay more
than the 1500,000 Issued of first mortgage
bonds.
The securities are owned by a number of
concerns, eastern capitalists being heavily
Interested. Including, it is said, the Interest
of the C. B. Nash company of Omaha, which
brought suit against the bond. The suit
was brought upon grounds that the prop
erty of the syndicate in this city would be
unjustly taxed by such an Issue,

Council Bluffs j
City Council
Orders Payment
For Mr. Saguin
Dispute Over Compensation to Con
tractor at Lust Determined
Saloon Opinion Given.
A big grist of miscellaneous business
was ground out by the city council at Us
adjourned meeting last night, the more
Important feature being the settlement
of the fenalty c lause matter in the city
contracts and particularly as relating to
the controversy between the city and Con
tractor James SaKUin. The sum of $2,000
wss ordered paid him.
Tho penalty claue matter came up
Wednesday when the council met to In
spect the Benton street bridge, which has
been recently completed by Saguln, who
held the contract. The contract called for
the completion cf the bridge by March 1,
and carried a penalty of 110 for each day
required to complete the work after that
date. When the council had looked over
the bridge, City Engineer Samuel L. Etnyre
presented a communication giving a state
ment of Saguln's account with the city,
showing that of the $5,500 contract price,
13,600 had been paid, and containing a
charge of $1,000 by the city for 100 days'
penalty for overtime beginning March 1
and ending June 8. The balance due In this
statement was $1,000.
The matter was discussed pro and con,
and it was finally agreed that regardless j
of other pending litigation between the
city and Saguln, that If the city owed
Saguln $2,0u0, it should be paid. Mayor
Maloney was clearly of this opinion, as
were several of the councilman, and a
resolution prevailed directing that Saguln
be paid the balance of $2,000 due him.
The matter of placing a fire hydrant In
the Council Bluffs part of East Omaha,
was referred to the city solicitor and to
the fire and water committee to draft an
ordinance therefor and to communicate
further with the Omaha Water company
relative to the furnishing of water for the
hydrant, and as to whether the Omaha
fire department would respond to a fire
alarm In that part of East Omaha.
The city engineer was directed to enter
Into contracts for the construction of certain
sidewalks, the parties named herewith be
ing the lowest bidders for the work in
the several sections as follows; Seotions 1
and 2, George Hughes; sections and 1
Peter Peterson; seotions 6 and 8, E. A.
Wlckharo.
Numerous petitions for sidewalk and
sewer Improvements were read and re
ferred to appropriate committees.
An ordinance was adopted accepting the
dedication of Garden street to the city.
Liquor Sale Authority.
City Solicitor Clem F. Kimball submitted
an opinion relative to the saloon keepers
of the city being required to obtain new
authority to sell intoxicating liquors on or
before July 1, as many of the licenses
would expire on or before June 24, 1310,
the ordinances granting the licenses hav
ing been passed June 24, 1909. A large num
ber of applications for licenses were filed
and referred, and a special meeting of the
council will be held Wednesday evening
to pass upon these applications. His opin
ion says:
'It la mv oolnlon. therefore, thst the
saloonkeepers are not bound to obtain new
resolutions of consent- new statements of
consent by property owners and new bonds,
unless the same has teen revoKea auring
the year for which they have paid tueir
annual tax. But If one or more of the per
sons signing such statement of consent has
sold out during the year, it would do neces
sary to obtain a new statement of consent
by the persons purchasing tne property
within fifty feet limit, and if the bonds
given were given for only one year or If
the sureties withdraw and gave the auditor
notice thereof, or elected to revoke the
bond, a new bond would be required.
Since the supreme court has not directly
passed upon the question, however, and has
only indicated what it would do Dy in
ference, it would be well for persons selll
Ing Intoxicating liquors under the mulct
law to obtain such new resolutions or con
sent, new statements of consent by the
property owners and new bonds each year,
beginning with the first quarter for which
they had begun to pay the mulct tax and
not before, but In my Judgment It would
be merely a precautionary measure upon
their part so to do. If any such saloon
keeper should fall to have nis resolution.
statement of consent and bond properly
passed, filed, approved as required in each
esse, he could not again be granted a new
resolution of consent by the city council
until the number of such resolutions In
force did not exceed one to every 1,000 of
population of the city.
Resolutions were adpoted directing the
contractors to proceed with the paving of
the Benton street bridge and the curbing
of Ninth street.
The proposition of repaying Broadway
with vitrified brick with a alx-inch con
crete base from First street to the North
western depot, which is now paved with
granite, was referred for further consider
ation to Wednesday evening.
The council then adjourned to Wednesday
evening.

Former President Begins Life as

Heels Wherever He
Goes,
J
NEW TORK. June H. Theodore Roose
velt began yesterday the life he has chosen
for himself as a private citizen. He has his
own Ideas of what the country shall do
with Its ex-presidents, and after a single
day of rest at Sagamore Hill, took up his
work today as a contributing editor of the
Outlook. Not even the fact that his son
was to be married this Vfternoon detained
him from his desk.
The dispatch boat Doiphln, on which Mr.
Roosevelt left Oyster Bay late last night
with Secretary of the Navy Meyer as his
host, brought him Into New York early
this morning. He went direct to his office
and Immediately plunged Into the mountain
of correspondence that has been ac
cumulating for him. Two hours later ho
appeared on the street and was Immediately
recognised by the crowds. Before he had
walked half a block westward toward Fifth
avenue, he was followed by a throng that
blocked the sidewalk.
The sun was beating down with an In
tensity that made a top hat unendurable.
The colonel plunged for a hatter at a
speed that made the crowd behind run to
keep up. As he passed )he offices of the
publishing house that will bring out his
forthcoming book on his hunting trip, he
spied a tall portrait of himself fiamed In
red, white and blue.
Calls Portrait "Dandy."
That's dandy. Isn't It?" was his com
ment. A hatter waa close by. It took the
colonel Just two minutes to buy a wide
brimmed straw hat with a black band. Then
he footed It at the same amaxlng speed to
his office again.
Editor Roosevelt's business headquarters
hereafter will be on the seventh floor of
the United Charities building at Fourth
avenue and Twenty-second street, where
a suite of three rooms has been specially
engaged for him.
On the entrance door appears the legend
In big gilt letters. "Office of Theodore
Roosevelt."
The rooms themselves, although business
like in appearance, are furnished with a
magnificence unusual for an office building.
The suite comprises a room for Mr. Roose
velt's secretary, a room In which visitors
will wait and Mr. Roosevelt's own room,
large and airy, fronting on Fourth avenue.
The walls are newly covered with bronre
burlap. The furniture is of mahogany and
the desk Is a reproduction of George Wash
ington's desk at Mount Vernon. A rich
rug of tan, green and dull pink covers the
polished parquetry of the floor. Pictures
of Washington, Lincoln and a copy of the
Declaration of Independence, written large
In an old English characters, hang on the
bronse burlap.
If it should prove that visitors are too
Insistent there is an auxiliary exit by
which Editor Roosevelt may escape through
a hidden hall to the street.
After his morning's work In his new of
fices, Mr. Roosevelt went for luncheon to
the home of his cousin, Frank B. Roose
velt. From the church the Roosevelt party rode
to the wedding reception at the home of
Mrs. Charles B. Alexander, the bride's
aunt. - ,

contracts was passed by the house at
12:60 o'clock tonight by a viva voce vote.
The bill had been awaited with lively
Interest and when its reading was begun
at 11:36 p. m. there was wild applause
among the members. As the dry reading
of the "pork barrel" progressed, members
Joked and some flippantly suggested to the
chair that the reading clerk skip a few
pages to expedite action.
Usually the big appropriation and supply
measures occupy considerable time In read
ing, but In the public bonding bill, the
so-called "pork barrel" of the session, was
railroaded through the house, its transit oc
cupying less than an hour.
I Mr. Sims of Tennessee! declared that the
house Was running wild on omnibus ap
propriation bills, protested that the meas
ure carried millions for the District of
Columbia. His speech blocking action on
the bill was frequently interrupted with
ironic cries of "louder" and "vote."
Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri defended the
measure. "This bill," he said, "does not
appropriate a single dollar out of the treas
ury. It carries authorizations and pro
vldes for continuing contracts."

for a lump sun of $1,2&0 ci 10 per cent

ng next Monday evening, to take up bids
for supplies for the ensuing year and to
appoint Janitors.
