Council Bluff Is on the vergo of an

Icial plants will fall very far short of
neetlng the demand, nnd whatever 'in
:onvenlcnces that can bo brought about
by nearly complete Ice famine are sure
V bo experienced.
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.

several thousand tons In storage."

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. It Is understood some Inno
vations that are to be made In the methods
of instruction, while not revolutionary,
will be pronounced enough to requlro
soma previous talking over. 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. The ctner was directed to uocldo
upon the. style and character ot the new
overcoats that are to be bought for win
ter use this year. '

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.
