ANOTHER BRIDGE OPENING. Foot Passengers and Teams to Be Again Allowed to Cross—Cred- itors Bothering a Grocery House—Other News. The Mayor's Inaugural. Last evening Mayor Rohrer delivered his inaugural address, which touches upon 0 many points of interest and so practically treats of important enter- prises, that it merits a careful reading: Members of the City Council—Ceutlemen: You approved my officlal bond as mayor on the evening of the 2d ult,, and on the follow- morning I entered upon the discharge of ties. To succeed such a man as Mayor Groneweg, who has altvays been rssful in his large private interests @nd sful as chief executive of y of 35,000 people to be suC sufticiently su this growing c elected to a seat in the state senute, is not an casy task, I can assure you. PROSPERITY, To my personul knowledge for the past seventecn years the year 1857, taken as a whole, has been the most prosperous and ac- tive ty improvem public and private building, * railway building, shops, round- Housss, tranicsgo, bridges, grading, ete., man- ufacturing, jobbi wholesale and retail trade, platting additions, sale of real estute, increased growth in population, ete. e population in 1530 was 6,000 and in 1887 it wss 85,000, showing a nice, healthy aver- age annual gain of 1,700 people, for the last seventcen years, The universal expression in our sister ¢ Omaha, is that Council Bluffs, at no distant duy, will be the largest ity in Towa. Commorcially 1857 has been, perhaps, in all respects the best year ¢ Bluffs has ever known. There has been no feverish, over- commereial strain to excite unnatu ty, and no consequent period of re- ation from which to recover. s been normal und natury sing like the growth of a healthy child. ave been no impossible or impractica- nes entertained or attempted. Busi- ness men have found little time for chasing illusive phantoms, conscquently there has been no unfortunate speculation. In the single feature real estate, the high tension of a year ugo has been mamtained, but the slight fever then only quickened the public pulse in_all other respects. The comparison of almost every class of business for the past year with the year t preceded it shows @ very gratifying in- manufacturimg products rd over 3,000,000 and e the past year they will reach” fully that figure and more. The wholesale trade hus increased, both in its volume and extent of territory over which it has been distributed, showing that the wholesale merchants of Council Bluffs are \\‘i(h' awake and deter- mined to supy itory that is natur- ally tributary in 1886 it _agere- ' u{ $ illion llullm s, Ilnllll'fi\ for the year amounted to £10,000,000 lnf houses and branches of eastern Il’\.m\lhh tories in the city report an increase of at least $12,000,000, keeping Council Bluffs still in the position of the sccond greatest distributing point for agricultural implements in the world and pushing her aloug to her closed last All of the position as first. A great part of this increuse hus come from the old territory worked by the agents of these great houses, showing o remarkably prosperous condition of the territory tribu- tary to th ity, and the prosperity of the farmers compose its bone and sinew. There have been during the year 743 new housos built i in the city that were d 1alpmlu\l almost / for homes for new citizens, But were_built by speculators for tencment purposes, but nearly all of them by individuals for homes. The peopling ot these new houses has added nearly 5,000 to our population, citizens of the most desirable character, sturdy mechanics whose wealth is cumulative and Whose presence in any city is a guarantee of thrift and permanent weaith, These houses have ranged in cost and_char- acter from the pleasaut little cottage of 1,000 to the pretentious city home costing £15,000. Every important branch of business has shown an increase during the year. The banking business—the surest index to a city's prosperity—shows a remarkable increase. “The school census shows the same increase. The grand total of lust year's business of all kinds may be safely cstimated as showing an increase of more than 10 per cent over the year preceding, when the grand total was 41,129,500, THE CITY'S FINANCES.

After taking into conside number of miles of strect paving (gran- ite and cedar block),sewerage and grad- ing, I must congratulate your honorable body on the comparatively few protests when compared with the whole num ber, who are paying as promptl the certificates and bonds mature. 1 have ) examined the list2of names of the taxpayers who have entcred protests, Ifind it to contain the names of esteemed citizens, who, I am confident, have no _desire to cnjoy the imprevements in front of their ‘operty at the expense of all the tax- (rich'and poor) in the city, even in nt justice would stray in their favor. 1 um satisfied in my own mind that not one of those having entered protests would con- sent to remove the improvements from in front of their respective lots if the cost was double what it actually is. I would earnestly recommend that your honerable body act as a committee of the wl sted by our en terprising, pushing citizens in holding a con ference at a very early day with those hay- ing entered protests and 1 believe the litile misunderstanding can be wiped out and orward all the taxpayers will move ard united in making Council Biufls the RAGE AND GRAD- ation the 1S ® G, BTC, It becomnes ne almost duily to tear up the paved streets, in making wate gas and sewer connections. 1 would recow’ mend that an ordinance be passed requiring every person who wishes permission to tuke up the street pavement to pay a sufficient amount of money per square foot to the city clerk, before a permit is issucd, to enable the street commissioncr to replace the samo without expense 10 the city, - The ordi- nance should prescribe the manner of taking up the pavement material, ete., as well as W place 1o pile it, as is done in all large cities, cities than they have made, for that they encourage delay, inactivity of citi 70n8, stranger to come along and malke use of them.

DUMMY TRAINS, The city of Council Bluffs and the Union interested in The business would be more than Union avenue charter by running their trains The risk of being one mn- involves a delay of one hour waiting for the next train. Such a serious interruption to commercial business can only be endured by the comparatively few who crowd the pres- ent passenger trains. The distance between Minneapolis and St. Paul is ten miles, and the trains run every half hour. I earncstly recommend your concurrence. in the enforee- ment of the ordinance requiring trains to be run every half hour. The bl way from the ¢ depot, day and night, by wagons loaded with trafic for Omaha, obliging the teamsters to slecp on cots in the strect awaiting their turn for passage on the hourly wagon trains, must not be. repeated this year. Business firms cannot stand such disastrous delays and our growing city cannot afford to block its streets. If the Union Pacific railroad makes it appar- ent to your honorable body that their present double-track bridge will not admit of their running the wagon and passenger trains every thirty minutes, then I recommend that you grant, if possible, permission to a. steam ferryboat’ to ferry wagons, carriages, ete., until such time as the Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company complete their new bridge. 1 will guarantee to furnish the steamboat. T hope it will not be required. Inasmuch as there have been a number of accidents by backing long trains of cars through the city, I would suggest that the railways place a reliable flagman on_the first car with a horn, whose duty it shall be to blow the same & few times before the train reaches a street crossing. An occa- sional sign should be_displayed by the rail- Touds informing the pubic of the use of the orn. BUILDING PERMITS, 1 also recommend that you pass a specitic ordinance requiring all persons who intend to erect cither business or residence, build- ings or make repairs to the amount of 5300 or over to first make application to the city clerk, stating size, material, probable cost and location, who on receipt of not exceeding §1 (sufficicnt to cover expense) will issue a permit. The clerk should enter the applica- tion in @ good, bound book kept for that pur- pose. This will furnish the city clerk with absolutely correct building statistics that cannot beé procured in any other manner. SANITARY MEASUKES.

I unhesitatingly prom- you good service during the remainder of orm, provided any needed material is yvr‘m urable inside the corporate limits of the city. WATER WORKS. Council Bluffs feels justly proud of her system of water works and we can but com- pliment the company upon the quality of water supplied, which at all times has been maintained elear and bright (a luxury no other city, supplied from the Missouri river enjoys,) as well as upon the thorough and careful management of their works by Chief Engineer Harry Birkinbine, which has been most efficient and reliable in time of fire. This fact alone should entitle the property owners to the minimum rate of fire insurance.
