Tha old city council In an extended and
busy session but nlrM concluded It of
ficial existence and the new council took
ft place. It was all done In the pres
ence of an audience that packed the
chamber, tha anteroom and tha corridor.
When the old council adjourned and
the mcmbera were about to retire their
way was blocked by Mayor Maloney and
all of the new membere. and for about
f!ve minutes there were expressions of
real congratulations, refilled by diplo
matically expressed rerrets and constant
handshaking1. All of the business of
the session waa done by the old council,
and the new members had nothing more
to do than to orcanlie. They did this
by adopting tha long established rules
and re-electing Charlea J. Duff, clly
clerk. ho Immediately announced the
appointment of Don Uhthank as his de
puty. Tha moat Important port of the busi
ness of the old council waa the opening
of bids for tha new concrete bridge and
retaining wall extending from No. S
to act as your p res! dine officer.
I notice numerous new facea and
recognise them aa belonging to men who
have been sent by tha citisens to aid In
the one common purpose, namely, do the
beat we can for the majority of the
people. You cannot satlnfr all the re
publicans, neither la It possible to please
all the democrats. In ordvr to do the
best for the city we must lav aaida all
polltlca and work for the best Interests
of the community with the same fear
lessness snd vigor that you manifest In
your private business.
I islah. however,. at this time, to mske
a few recommendations to your honor
able body, which, I hope, may be favor-
aeiy . aciea upon at an early date.
all! not tire you with an rihauatlve
list, nut rather refer to a few which
aeem to be of paramount Importance.
- One of the things that I would refer
to you for your consideration is the
Importance of providing drainage for the
south part of town. The numerous rail
roads running Into Council Bluffs and the
condition of the ground In that locality
makes It almost tinrjose1ll to drain the
water ana protect the property owners
In that part of the cltv, and I would
recommend that the council and the city
engineer figure out some plen of drain
age, by storm sewers or an open ditch, to
carry the storm aater south Into the
lake or the river.
I aould also recommend that the coun
cil take up the proposition of sewerage
In the west end of tha city, that part
of the city is bulldlna un verv nuiirilv
snd. in my Judgment. If not attended to
soon, we are liable to have an epidemic,
as the cesspools will be so thick there
that It will be unsanitary to live In that
part of the cHy. This la a matter,
gentlemen, for your serious consideration,
and one that you cannot afford to put off
any great length of time, and 1 hope
you can sea your war clear to Investi
gate It aa soon aa possible.
Another matter to which I wish to call
your attention Is Indian creek. In the
heart of the city a start has been made
of buildina Walla on each siile nt ih.
trreeu, nicn, aa rur aa I ran see. would
oe
fir, station to and Includins the Mynste. j Ihe u.sTter. Ho-everf I will leave it to
street bridge, which Includes retaining
walls nearly S feet long on both sides
of the stream and covering them with
concrete girders sufficiently strong to
earn- a paved surface and atreet traffic.
There were a number of bidders, but the
bid of K. A. TVIekham was far below
them all ar.d contained no restrictions
whatever. It was also the briefest of
all. It was the simple proposition to do
the work In accordance with the plans
and specifications for Il.n0, and wag
accompanied by a certified check for
iiut, The bid waa about lower
than expected and fully as much lower
than tha engineer's estimate.
Bids Vary Greatly,
Titer Nelson bid $Uv. with t per cu
bit, yard for additional concrete. SS cents
l-er loot for extra piling and Jl par
toot for extra steel reinforcing. C. C.
Xo-i;aaiu. who baa recently been the
lowest eldder on all other public work.
Including tha rew water reservoir, filed
a bid of $14,7 a 1th approximately the
"me charges for extra material. Peter
Peterson bid IH.Ml. Th National Hoof
ing company bid HITS!, with K per yard
for extra concrete, JO cents for extra pll
Ing. 1 cents per pound for extra steel.
The Midland Bridge company of Dei
.Moines wanted Hi.750. R H for Mtra con
note. M cents for extra piling and I cents
for extra steel. Tha Kimbaliton Con
struitlon company of Atlantis figured
the cost of the work at HS.ia.70. with
SS.S for additional concrete and 4! centa
for extra Piling. James Saguln offered
to do the work for 115,18.; with ts for
extra concrete and K cents for piling.
All of the bids ware referred so tha city
engineer for tabulation.

Contrary to the rather dramatic decla
ration of Alderman fisher a month before
election that tha dues! Ion of exacting
royalty from the telephone company un
der the provisions of the new Independent
i-omnany'a charter would not be deferred
until after election, the matter wss not
brought up again until last night When
It was ascertained that the exaction of
the royalty would add Juat that amount
to the price of the phones It was sug
gested that It might be a dangerous prop
osition to fool with lust before election,
which Alderman Fisher aa chairman of
the committee with tha matter In charge
resented with vigor. It cam up last
right In the shape of a report from City
senator Kimball In which he said:
Tna company reports that there are
aoout s,iMi phonea within tha city of
k I, PaJ'ng on an average
per momn, out mat the num
ber will be somewhat Increased in
short time. This would bring an Income
iu me cuy on e per cent of the gross In
come of a little less than tS.ouo ner v-r
The company also says that under the
pn-aent conditions the royalty will be
added as an Increase of rate, which under
ine orninance mey are allowed to coHect
over the present rates charged by the
company.
After a conference with tha attorney
for the company I find that the company
will pay this royalty upon the gross re
ceipts, as ahown by Ha books, from and
after the consolidation of the two switch
boarda about the first of February, mt
Tho honorable mayor and myself have
also had a conference with the company
relative to an Increased telephone service
ur me ure oepanment or the city and
have been assured that this can h. -
cured. I regret that I waa not able to
mum inn niaucr oeiore leaving office
but believe that satisfactory adjustment
an be made between the city and the
telephone company whereby the addi
tional irirpnone service lor the depart
ment ran be supplied ss suaa-ested h.
the mayor and the chief of the fire de
pertinent and this royalty paid from a
uaie inai is itur 10 ootli.
I therefore recommend that the city
request a statement of the telephone
company as to the amount of royalty
due and on what terms and conditions
niry wu mmwi too auuiuomu telephone
service.
Wasja Increase Passed.
Tha oounc.il passed, under suspension
of the rules, the ordinance Increasing the
pay ol tnc uwmbe.-j of tlie fire and
police department, agreed to at the pre
vious meeting. The reports of all the
Heads of departments were received and
placed on file. Tho report of tha firo
and light committee had a number of
recommendations for the new council to
oonsldar. It contained a list of tha ap
raratus of the firs department and recom
mended tha purchase of aa automobile
for tho fire chief, a new auto fire truck
for No. 3 and a new flra station for the
western part of the city, to be equipped
with a combination chemical and hose
wagon. A number of minor recommenda
tions were made. Including tho purchase
of l.m feat of new hose to add to the
. feet on hand, and tha replacing of
Hie small hook and ladder track In
service for tuo In tho hill district. The
report highly commended tho electric
light oompany for tho efficiency of tho
street lighting and recommended tho ad
e! It local flaming are llghta for West
Broadway. . ,
After a lot of minor business waa dis
patched, InelucUng tho approval of the
bonds of tho new official, the new coun
cil waa called to order. When City Clerk
Duff waa re-elected ha was compelled to
lespond to tho calls far a speech.
your judgment to figure out. with the
usiotsnce or tne city engineer, soma
feasible proposition of taking care of this
menace, which has cost the cltv hun
dreds of thousands of dollars In tha last
twenty-five years.
I would also recommend that the chair
man of each committee of the council
and the other members, if possible, have
a conference at least once a week to
talk over mailers which may come up In
the different departments, and If I can
be of any anlstanoe to youl wilt be very
glad to attend any, or all. of your meet
ings, aa I realise that In order to ac
complish Improvements or anything of
benefit to the city w all have to work
In harmony, and I for one will do my
part towards accomplishing that end.
1 want to thank the old members of
the council who acted with me In tha last
two years, regardless of politics, for the
manner in which ther have helped out
In all matters of Importance to the city,
and 1 can conscientiously say that In the
two years there has never been a ques
tion of democrat or republican rulsed
when It came to any matter of Imnort-
ance to our cltliena, and I hope that that
good feeling will continue for tho next
two years.
