These assertions are based upon decla ntion of Council Dlufts ice dealers, none if whom will admit that .present stocks Council Bluffs demand It might enable us to tide over the season reasonably well. But wo would not take on another customer at any price. People should 'husband their Ice In their refrigerators to the utmost and oo-operalo with the dealers in every way to reduce tho consumption.

Open Sundays 10 to 12 Phono Red 1201 All Work Fully Guaranteed ' ' Council Bluffs Council Bluffs a West End Sewer Is Now Assured; toCall for Bids The expansive and ruddy face of Alder man Boyer Was suffused with a new sot ot smiles last night, After working over, on and all around the proposition to get a sewer system for tho western part of the city ever since' last fall, the final delnlte stage of advertising for bids waa reached at an adjourned meeting of the city council brought about for the pur pose. There can bo no retreat from tho step taken, and tho building of the sys tem Is assured. There has been no disposition manl tested to thwart the purpose ot afford ing the relief so long demanded and put an end to a condition that has seriously retarded the development of that thrifty portion of the city, but Alderman Boyer. as the representative ot the Sixth ward. whero the greater part of the district to be Improved Is located, naturally felt tho deepest personal Interest and took the leading part In applying tho spurs. The action last night included the adoption of tho plans and specifications prepared in the city engineer's office and the plans for tho pumping station and the outlet to the river prepared by Wyncoop Klerstcd of Kansas. City, consulting engi neer, and the re-passing of the original improvement resolution oiitlylng the sewer district and ordering the improve ment City Attorney Stuart, who had pre pared all of the resolutions with the greatest care to avoid any conflict with the law In the matter of assessment, was keenly alert In procuring the proper ac tion of the council. Ho again made mtnute explanations of the proposed method of assessing the cost and drew tho resolutions In such manner that all of the cost can bo assessed to the 10,000 lota lying within the district and propor tlonately larger amount to the property abutting on the line of the main sewer to tho amount equivalent to the cost ot making connections in tho portions of the district where tho lateral sewers will be laid, and also of providing for the payment of a deficiency, If any should occur, by general taxation. The resolution calling for bids provides that payment may be paid In cash or certificates, and tho whole plan contem plates the Issuance ot bonds to provide the cash If tho cash bids prove suffi ciently advantageous. It Is estimated that the total cost will be somewhere in the vicinity of $100,000. Tho cost to be as sessed against the property must need exceed $1.60 per front foot. It was sug gested the call for bids be widely ad vertised, and it was agreed that a pre liminary meeting of tho council be held at 7:30 Monday evening in advanco of the regular meeting to. discuss the method of advertising. Discussion of the In volved problems occupied mora than two hours." The council approved without debate tho plans and specifications for concrMe pavement, which will be used for all such pavement laid In. tne tuiure. ronimu cement and crushed Sioux Palls granite ate specified as tho chief Ingredients. A proposition of tho Illinois uentrai Railroad company to pay for the main tenance of a flaming arc light on Broad way and a common arc on Avenue A and the .Eighteenth street crossings In lieu of Installing gates at the Avenue A cross ing, was submitted and approved. In 1808 the council passed an qrainance re. aulrlnc the gates and later Secured a writ of mandamut from the district court com- DclUnK compliance. The company ap neated to the supreme court and on De cember 10 last the court approved the order. It was shown that the gates were not demanded for safety and that the additional lights would prove a better safeguard to the public. The city will send the lighting bills to tho company at the first of each month. Talluro to get the required vote tQ suspend the rules again caused tho ordi nance prohibiting the use of sidewalks for merchandise displays to over for another week. Jeff Detrlch urged the council to press tho matter ot paving Commercial street and Angle venue. He BJd he had lived on the avenue for twenty years and was certain. tho cost ot keeping. the street in repair nao long nan' exceeded the coat or tne paving. The mayor announced' that the letter lnvlUrsjr the Iowa railroad commission ers to come to' Council Bluffs and look over the union depot situation was sent forward yesterday. They were asked to fl an early date. It was decided to call . tfl,neral conference with the.Commer- ,.t-.i club, retail Merchants' association and the Ileal Estate exchange to discuss the matter prior to tho coming ot the commissioners.

A four-room cottage recently built on one of the Leonard Everett tracts waa destroyed by fire yesterday. The houso was unoccupied and had been vacant all summer. Tho fire is supposed to havo caught from weeds-that had been cut nnd left to dry along the road and which were accidentally, or purposely, set on fire. The fire crept from the dried weeds to the sun-dried grass and weeds in the yard and was thus carried to the house. The fire communicated to the sheds and other buildings and all were completely consumed. The loss was protected by insurance. Superintendent Beveridge has called a meeting of the teachers of the' city schools to be hold at the high school auditorium this afternoon at 4 o'clock. It Is for the purpose of marking out and discussing the work for the coming school year.

The prin cipals of each building will also meet their teachers at meetings to be held im mediately after the general gathering. The principals will assign the teachers to the rooms they will liav charge of during the year. School will open Mon-. uuy inurning lie it. At a mcctlnr or the fire and nollce com missioners It was recommended that thp city council purchase an automobile fire truck for No. 2 station and an ftutnmoblln for the police department. The commis sioners also instructed the chief of police to suspend all members of the force who had neglected or refused to comply with tho previous orders relating to payment of Just debts. Petitions asking the com missioners to crescrlbe raoro comfortable nhd sanitary uniforms for police officers for summer wear were presented and fa vorably considered for action next sum mer.

LOGAN Three or four attorneys and a large number of witnesses in court here are now trying to locate the old channel of the Boyer river designated Iq the deed of conveyance of the lands in a part of section 6, St. Johns township of Harri son county. The case began in the dis trict court last winter when an attempt was made to have a commission ap pointed to resurvey and locata the river channel mentioned In the deeds ot con veyance to Mrs. Luella Martin and G. N. Frazler, whose respective claims over lap, but the court refused to grant the prayer of the petition in the matter of an appointment of the commission for the reason that the deeds ot conveyances designated the old channel of the Bo' er river as the boundary line between the two contestants and that all that was necessary waa to find that abandoned phannel of tho Boyer river mentioned in the deeds. Judging from the array ot lejral talent and large number of wit nesses appearing for the two contestants, the location of the river channel will be no easy matter. Ilnrmoiiy Cnkra.
