Yesterday waa the day fixed by the city council for objections from thoe who op posed the repavement of all of that por tion of Broadway surfaced with granite blocks not Included in the original tepave trnnt resolution passed last fall providing for tha Improvement of that portion lying between Second and Sixth streets. The objectors failed to take notice or else had permitted their objections to be dissipated, for not a single protest was filed at the meeting of the council last night. . With manifest satisfaction the pending ordinance was called up and passed without a ripple of opposition. Broadway will now be paved from the Methodist church to the Northwestern depot. If there are any property owners who still oppose It they have rested too long on their right and will now object in vain, for thers la no law they can invoke to prevent the work being done. M ires t,o Vnderajroand. The council also called up and smoothly Passed the ordinance ordering underground all telephone, telegraph and electric light wires, the ordinance specifying that the conduits must be laid by May 1. The original ordinance introduced a week ago and laid over for conferences with the managers of the Postal and Western Union Telegraph companies was slightly amended, permltlng the telephone companies to maintain poles required for tha distribution of their wires where required and poles at Eleventh street for the connection with the cable and aerial wires. For the re moval of the poles and the placing of the wires in the conduits the companies were given until January 1. The ordinance also permits the erection of poles If de sired in the alleys in the blocks facing Broadway on the north and south sides the full length of the street. The wire companies agree to begin the work of lay ing their conduits at once, finishing before Contractor Wlckham gets ready to begin repaying, Oeorge Nlcoll, local manager of the Western Union, was present at the meeting last night and told the council that he had nothing further to request for (he company. Filler on Broadway. While the council was considering the paving matter Mayor Maloney and City Engineer Ktnyre made their report con cerning their discoveries on their mission to Chicago to Inquire Into the best character of filler to be used on Broadway. They spent from Thursday until Saturday at the work and vlHlted Elgin and Aurora as well as Chicago. On Thursday they walked about ten miles in Chicago, looking at brick pavement that had been treated with the Barco-asphaltum filler. It Is rather a new thing In Chicago, but It Is meeting with Increasing favor. At Elgin they found pavement that had been in use for five years and dug out some of the Sarco and brought it home. Tt showed no deterioration. At Aurora It had been In use for four yearn, and was in high favor. In their report to the counoll they re frained from directly recommending It, but stated that its advantages were favorable to a less noisy street and the greater ease with which the pavement could be opened and repaired. They said the cement filler waa a little cheaper and was a better preservative of the brick. Their report also contained the statement that at the meeting of the National Association of Engineers two years ago the engineers re fused to recommend it, but at the meeting last January the report stood S to 6. Both were unmistakably impressed with the Sarco. Other Farias; Matters. The resolutions ordering the pavement of East Pierce street to Canning which were Introduced several weeks ago were finally passed. The contract with K. A. Wlckham for the repavement of Bouth Sixth street wss approved and the mayor ordered to sign it. Completion of the passage of the paving and curbing resolutions affecting North Harrison street was also affected. A number or resolutions providing ' for sewers were passed. One calls for the construction of an eight-Inch sewer on Mornlngslde avenue to the end of Cooper avenue and another from Twelfth avenue from Third street to the east side of nigh. A dosen bids for furnishing 1,500 feet of fire hose were opened. The prices ranged from 65 cents to $1.10 a foot, all with guar antees of three years' service and to sus tain a water pressure of 400 pounds. They were referred to the fire and light com mittee for tabulation. Deteatloa Hospital. Alderman Beebe called attention to the very bad condition of the Detention hospi tal again, and said it was a good deal of a disgrace to the city and county There are no inside toilets and people suffering from serious attacks of smallpox were obliged to go out in cold and stormy weather, often at great Jeopardy of their Uvea. He said the roof was full of holes and leaking badly whenever there waa a rain. He aald last week two men and one woman were detained there, and that if there had been another patient Custodian Q'Orady would have had to house him in the barn that was last used for a glandered hone. The matter was referred to the committee on city property with instruc tions to ascertain the coat of the required Improvements. Fire Chief Nicholson also called attention to some urgent repairs required to prevent the rear end of No. 4 fire station house from, falling out. The house is a new pressed brick structure and the fact It so quickly demanded repairs Indicated organic weakness that excited soma surprises. Al derman Beebe was Instructed to report upon the matter after an Inspection to be made today. E. A. Wlckham notified the council that he had partly completed the work of put ting in a water main on Mill street which be Is ready to pave, but that the water company refused to permit connection to be made with the smaller main that is the only source of supply. The matter was held up for a few days pending the decision of the condemnation court. ' Ninth District j Committee to Meet Here Next Friday Purpose Will Be to Select Date for Convention and Fix Repre sentation. Henry Peterson, chairman of the Ninth congressional republican committee, has called a meeting of the committee to be held in thla city next Friday afternoon for t lie) purpose of deciding upon the date of t lie republican convention and fixing the ratio of representation for each county. An election to fill the vacancy caused by the elevation of Congressman Walter I. Bmlth to the court of appeals will be held on June 5, and the convention to select a can didate must be called In time to give a reasonable opportunity for a campaign. The congressional committee comprises one member for each county In the district and is composed of the following named republicans: j Pottawattamie County Henrv ' Peterson. Shelby I . O. Stuart of Harlan. Montgomery Phllo Clark of Ked Oak. Mills W. S. Lewis of Olenwood. Harrison W. S. Coe of Woodbine. Cass W. F. Porterfled of Atlantic. Audubon H. B. Herbert of Audubon. Adair F. K. Cates of Adair. Guthrie R N. Crane of Outhrle Center. A number of candidates are proposed, but the friends of Judge W. R. Clree of Audu bon county are sanguine that He will bs able to secure sufficient votea In the county to give him the nomination. It was expected that there would be at least one strong candidate from Council Bluffs. A number of available men have been considered, but after looking over the sultuation they deemed tt wise to keep out of the fight. As a progressive, Robert Wallace might perhaps secure the nomina tion, but he has refrained from giving en couraging assurance that he could be In duced to be a candidate. As a stand patter Colonel C. G. Saunders positively refuses to permit his name to be used In connection with the office. Much will depend upon the action taken by the congressional committee on Friday afternoon. While not In any manner at tempting to dictate the action of the con vention it will call, the temper of the mem bers will go far toward determining tha location of the candidate.
