The first ffeneral movement toward the
extension of the city water system since
the plant became municlpHl property was
completed yesterday when Superlntendrnt
Ktnyre finished his dt-tnllel plana for e
trnslon aggregatlm? nearly three mile of
malna. The member of the water board
have been In close consultation with him
while the work was tinder way, approving
each detail aa It was developed. i that
It required but about five minutes yester
day to consider and approve the whole
plan and order Ita execution at once.
The plana Include the twelve-Inch main
on Main street from Troadway to fif
teenth avenue, a distance of Just one mile.
The first estimates of this extension In
volved a cost ot about $30.ono. but revised
figure obtained from pipe makers has re

from Main to Fourth atreet.
Cost Thirty-Five Thousand.
The estimated costs of all tha exten
tenslons Is between (110 000 and U6.000. Blue
prints and apeclficatlona will be completed
by Saturday and blda will be called for
early In tha week. The work haa for
tunately been planned at a time when the
pipe market la on a decided decline. The
price yesterday was considerably below
2S a ton. The water plant waa purchased
Vf a basis of 128 a ton for new pipe,
'alvea and fittings are also obtainable
on a declining- market. Contracts will be
ready to be let early la July. If the bids
appear to be too high the commissioners
will undertake the work and rush It
through.
The next big Job will be the planning of
the hill service system, which will be
reached during the autumn. But la the
meantime minor extensions will be made
In the west and south parts of town.
Appropriation of Water. .
Appropriations of water, under circum
stances that approach very closely to theft.
are being inquired Into by the water com
missioner and Superintendent Etnyre. The
hot dry weather baa cauaed many people
yield to the temptation to use water
for sprinkling purposes, and garden hoae
long unusued la brought Into requisition
or borrowed from kindly neighbor and
thirsty lawns thoroughly drenched. On
Wednesday night the commissioners sent
out spies In an automobile and In one hour
caught fifteen persons using water who
were not authorised to do so by having
their names on the sprinkling list. Their
names were added yesterday, Increasing
the revenue for the department Just 175.
Last night three .automobiles were sent
out manned bjd.'men. who -knew the street
numbers well and provided with lists of
the authorised water users. In about an
hour they were able to report more than
thirty addltmal names, adding 150 to the
water department's Income. Bills will be
nt to all of these persons on July 1 and
tlTey will be required to pay or have the
water ahut oft The Automobiles will be
kept In service during the summer, with
the moral certainty that every property
owner who uses water for sprinkling pur
poses or permits a tenant to do so will have
to pay for It.
The water commissioners yesterday took
the first step toward the early require
ment for the use of meters for all private
consumers. The decision was reached to
Install meters at absolute cost, and the
first batch of forty was purchased. They
are the phosphor bronse trident pattern
and cost $8.40 each at the faotory. They
will be sold to the consumer for t. The
additional cost will be simply that of In
iVaUatlon. It has been figured out that
Aha universal use of meters will Increase
UiS revenues about $30,000 a year and de
crease the amount of water to be pumped.

parently saw htm for the first time and
also turned In ths same direction and
tried to stop. He was unable to do so and

Council Bluffs
SANE FOURTH MAYOR'S ORDER
Executive Sijjni Proclamation that
Will Stop Much Noise.
ntojnsEs to enforce it
Retail Boy Will Be Obliged, for
Safety of Commealty, to Cos
flae His Efforts to Ordinary
Wars ef Celebration.
Council Bluffs Is to have another so-
called "safe and sane Fourth." The
American spirit of the genuine Yankee boy
will be curbed as the officials care or
even dare to restrain It.
Mayor Maloney yesterday told the boys
Just how far they could go and still be
patriotic and not criminal. He Issued his
Fourth of July proclamation defining the
privileges that would be granted and re
straints that would be Imposed from now
until the close of the great national anni
versary. The proclamation Is as klad aa
the mayor can make it. He remembers
the time when, freckled-faced, barefooted
and full of Intense enthusiasm, his great
est ambition was to make a noise that
could be heard In China or set off a flash
that would be reflected In surprise by the
moon.
The mayor originated In the Immediate
vicinity of the scenes of Mark Twain's
boyhood, and he was a real Tom Sawyer
and a Huckleberry Finn In the good old
days spent In the environments of Warsaw
and Hannibal along the Mississippi river,
where the very spirit that brooded over
water and wooded hills made It impos
sible not to disobey the mandates of father
and mother.
He recalls the time when he blew up
the cowshed with a keg of blasting powder
which quarrymen hnd thoughtlessly left
unguarded. He still sees the flash, and
the echo of the glorious roar has never
ceased to thrill upon his ear drums. He
Is only thankful that It all happened before
the days of dynamite and high explosives
for he feels sure he would now have to
use at least one wooden leg, an artificial
arm or at least a glass eye.
He read the proclamation over seven
times yesterday after It was typewritten
before he could muster the courage to sign
It. Here It is, with the mayor's humble
apologies to the genuine American boys in
Council Bluffs, and the "badest bad"
feature of It la that It Is going to be
strictly enforced but with the regret that
every adult man and woman and family
horse, also family dog. Is not blessed with
the kind of nerves that tingle to the en
thusiastic ambition of the real boy.
All cltixens are warned by the chief of
police not to indulge in premature celebra
tions, xne laws renaming the use and sale
of fireworks are stated In the following
proclamation insuea today:
By direction of the mayor the followlnsr
