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.
