CITY OFFICERSIEEL TODGHY
Talk of Unjust Criticism on Account
of Increased Tax Levy.
NOT TO BLAME FOR THE RESULT
Take Position that City Tax Will
Be Only Slightly la Excess of
that of County and
State.
Some of the city officials felt that there
was adverse criticism Implied in the fig'
ures giving the probable tax levy to be
made this fall, and that there would be
a disposition to charge the increase to
the city. Analysis of the figures, how
ever, it is said, do not sustain such an
impression. If the proposed levy to be
made for general city purposes should be
permitted to stand the total increase tor
city purposes would only be 1.6 mills
and one-half mill of that amount ' was
accounted for by the Increase asked foi
the city parks. The levy last year was
43.5 mills, and the possibte levy this
year Is 45.5. One mill of the increase will
be the levy of that amount for the Judg
ment fund. Last year there was no levy
made for this fund, but there are now
some judgments that require payment.
"Vve have not found It to be good policy
to keep anything in the judgment fund
for the reason that it offers too much
temptation to a certain class of lawyers
to go after it," said Mayor Maloney yes
terday. "You can also depend upon the
council to cut the levy to the lowest
possible figure, and we hope yet to get
it under the amount required last year.
"People seldom stop to think and when
they are confronted by a large tax, im
mediately hold the city responsible for
It, whereas the city taxes only slightly
exceed the amount we have to have to
pay for state and county purposes. There
is not now, and there has not been a
time in years when there was not a
strong disposition on the part of the city
officials to keep down the city taxes.
If they have sinned at all in this re
spect it has been by falling short, rather
' than exceeding the amount that should
be levied. Yet there is still a disposition
to hoid the city responsible for high taxes
when It is the least to blame."

Drainage Ditch
Question Up Again
!
v',The Nishnabotna drainage ditch ques
tion will come before the county board at
the regular monthly meeting Monday.
The ditch has been in process of con
struction for more than a year, and
numerous lawsuits have arisen from its
establishment. Another big section has
been reported by the contractor as fin
ished and be will ask the board to approve
it at the forthcoming meeting. This
would be an easy matter If County Sur
veyor Spteman had not a report show
ing that a section of something less than
half a mile is about three and a half feet
above the line established for the bottom
M At J A 1 Tl 1 J 1 i
an easy matter for the contractor to have
taken out the required amount of material
to bring the bottom to the proper level
If the material had been ordinary, soil.
Instead a ledge of hard limestone rock
has been exposed, and it Is through this
that the ditch must be deepened to fulfill
the contract
The contract was awarded to the Lana
Construction company upon the bid of
"one one-hundredth part of 1 per cent"
below the lowest bid. The lowest bid was
6 cents per cubic yard and the contract
was given to Mr. Lana on the narrow
margin of one-tenth of a mill. He did
not figure on any rock work and was
not provided with tools for blasting it
out. Consequently his dredge merely
cleaned off the bedrock.
The rocky ledge is just below the town
of Carson, where a mill and power plant
property was aestroyea cy diverting tne
water.
The problem of the board is now to
settle with Mr. Lana. His contract called
for no rock work, but required the ex
( cavatlon of an extra three feet. The
; farmers can refuse to pay their assess
ments unless the ditch Is excavated to
the proper depth and then the board will
be confronted witn me auiicuiiy or com
pelling the contractor to ao wora mat

was not specuieu.
I W. H. Killpack, attorney for the board
in all drainage ditch matters, is also the
J legal representative of the Lana Con
struction company and the problem places
'him in an embarrassing position.

The city council held a brief meeting
yesterday afternoon, acting in the capac
ity of council and as committee of the
whole. A. A. Askwith presented a pe
tition signed by himself and several
others calling attention to the fact that
Gleason avenue, which was laid out more
than twenty years ago, had never been
opened. The avenue was planned to ox
tend from Morningslde avenue and Park
Lane eastward to a junction with
Mcl'herson and Bennett avenues, a dis
tance of one and a half miles, and It
was shown that if the street was opened
and properly graded it would be a new
and much shorter thoroughfare for sub
urban traffic. Jt was stated by the pe
titioners that County Supervisor Child
ren had agreed to work the road this
year and the request was to have the
city's portion of the county road tax
accruing this year used for the purpose.
The . matter was referred to the streets
and alleys committee and the mayor for
investigation. A motion Instructing the
mayor to sign the contract for the new
automobile hose truck was laid oven un
til the Monday night meeting -at the re
quest of Alderman Flood, who wanted
to inquire further into the report that
the Webb company, makers of the truck,
had sold the same apparatus to another
city for $5,100 while demanding $5,500 from
Council Bluffs. The auditor was in

the Turkish government lias appointed a

Detective Callaghan
Saves Life ef Boy
Detective Tom F. Callaghan was pain'
fully . Injured yesterday afternoon when
he made a brave and sucessful attempt to
save the life of a small boy. The officer
was passing along the Northwestern .rail
road tracks between Third and Fourth
avenues when he saw a small boy cling
ing with one hand to the last lower rung
of the ladder on a box car attached to a
passing train moving at twenty miles an
hour. The boy was suspended almost
between the cars and the officer instantly
realized that he would fall on the track
when he let go. Callaghan braced himself
and when the car rushed passed seized
the lad with both arms. The momentum
was so great that the officer was knocked
from his feeet and rolled into the ditch
with the boy in his arms. The boy escaped
with a few small abrasion, but the officer
was painfully cut and bruised when he
came into contact with the stone
macadam.
The boy was brought to the station
where he said his name was Thomas
Henry McConnell, 7 years old, and that
he lived at Eighth avenue and South
Twentieth street. He had tried to climb
upon the car when the train was moving
slowly, but was unable to reach above
the lower step. The speed of the train
rapidly increased and he clung to the
iron, afraid to drop. His strength was
exhausted and only the grip of one little
hand intervened between him and death
beneath the wheels. The lad was turned
over to Probation Officer Herner, who
took him to his parents. Officer Callaghan
was so badly bruised that he was unable
to remain on duty during the afternoon.
