The council met yesterduy afternoon as a committee of the whole to consider a num- of matters of minor importance that had been referrod to 1t at the last moeting. Al the decisions had refereaco to private indi- viduals, At the closo of tie committce meetiug the council was convened in spocial session and the mayor read a nnmber of communications he had received. Among them was a protest against granting the vight-of-way tu the Council Bluffs Trausit company along Oakland avenue. Tho idea had been conceived by some of the owners of property there that pertiaps the new company would want to run its trains up a grado of 10 er cent or more into Fairview cemetery, and the signature of almost every owner' hud been secured. Alderman Van Brunt said it was out of the question for the company to run its trains there, as the grado was (oo steep, and besides toere was no way for the trains to get outo Ouiland aveaue excopting ovor Washington avenue, which had been cut out of the list of streots'granted to the company, Mayor Macrae elso read & communication from two property owners on Mynster asking him not to approve the ordinance alrcady passed by the council untit they should have a chance to prepare a protost, Alderman Wo d said tho ordinance had been tabled for three months aud every ono in town knew it was being a ted upon by the council. He thought it was pretiy late for the citizens 10 como in with protests after the ordinance had passed the council and was now in the hauds of the mayor for his approval. N. Schurz, who was one of the signers of the communication, aroso and stated that he had read the pupers every day but never saw anything in them about the ordinance, and nover kuow such an ordinauce was before tho council until after it was passed. His suggestion did not meet with the approval of the mayor, however, and ho had no sooner left the council chamber than the signature of the mayor was placed upon the ordinance and tho company’s franchiso was saved, Attorney A.

Remarks are beard daily to this effect and thero is now no doubt that if the city council neglects to submit a proposi- tion providing for the appropriation of at leust §125,000° for a city ball & substantial kick will be made by some of the heaviest PFOPETLY OWNOrs 1 tho city. “Itis” foily,” said one of them yesterday, “'to think of putting $0,000 into & city hall. ‘Chat amount would Bardly do for the’city’s present needs, for fully a third of tne amount would have to be used in purchasing & new 1 site for the structure, uuless we build on the present site, and that will moet with a great | deal of objection on the part of the citizens and taxpayers, But oven granting that we could build a large enough and fine enough building to satisfy us now whero would we be in ten years? Council Bluffs is bound to do some lively growing in the next ten years, and long before the bonds on our $50,000 hall were paid oft the citizens would be clamor- ing for the old hall to be torn down And & new one built, which would be a credit to the city, lIam heartily in favor of giving the people a chance to vote on an appropriation of #150,000, and 1 haven't a doubt that that amount wiil be voted, While we are putting up a hall we may as well have one that will last us for fifteen or twenty yoars as to throw away half the cost of good hall in erecting one that wonld be outgrown in a fow years,” Carman Feed and wholesale and retail feed.
