TAXPAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN BUNCOED the Company- Action of the City Council Commented O A rather interesting thing in connection with the grading on Avenue A has just come to light through the agitation that is now | being made over the neglect of the motor company to live up to its obligations and the | failure of the city officials to bring it to terms with a snap. The fact that the motor company dug up the dirt from the roadway | at the side of its tracks on Avenue A for the purpose of raising the tracks approximately [ to the grade which would in all probability be established on that avenue some time in | the future was mentioned in Tue Ber a day or two ago, and the fact was also stated that the city had subsequently brought in dirt from o distance and filled up the holes thus | made, and charged up the exj which 000, to the adjacent property of special taxes nse. \bout in the shap There arc take the assessments are legal or not, and Avenue A seription wis owne | | great many citizens who neve | trouble to find out whether their | 1l of the | residents who answered that de stepped up to the rack and paid their assessments without a murmur, There | were a few. however, who knew that the tax was illegal, and they quietly, but abso lutely, refused to make the payments. An | examination of the records discloses the fact that the taxes of all these kickers are now marked “canceled,” although the | property owners in question deny that they ever paid a cent. The question | now waiting an answer is: Who paid the taxes’ Was it the motor company or the council? At all events there are suspi cions, founded on evidence of a more or less circumstantial character, that if by the company the paywent was at least made with the knowledge and collusion of the city council. As soon as this fuct becomes gen crally known o number of suits may be looked for from the property owners, who came up and paid their taxes like little men om the city the amounts which they paid What Will the Council Do? A petition was started out on its rounds | among the business men of Council Blufls yesterday. asking the mayor and city council to rescind the ordinance, passed in 1836, g1v. ing the motor company a tax of 12 mills and a franchise to operate a railway in the st The object of this is to muke it impossible for ny to stand on the rights it has already been granted, upon the plea that the city gotern ment still stands by it. The petition recites | that the company still owes the citizens ove £30,000, and the city about a like sum for paving, for which it was bound, by the terms of its charter to pay, and that it refuses to settle; that the company never did any- thing except assign its franchise to - a forcign corporation, which s daily taking large of money from Couneil Bluffs to another state. 1t then de- wands that the ordinance by which th 12-mill tax was levied. and also the ordinanc of 188 by which the franchise was granted, be rescinded, The statement has been made openly by the superintendent of the motor | compiny that no action will be taken by the city couneil that_ will be unfriendly to the company, and it is thought that this petition will have the effect of compelling the mem- bers of the council to show for whom they are working. iey Waited Two Y The Council Bluffs and Omaha company filed its answer yesterd: suit which was_commenced in 1591 t city to recover about $5,000 for paving street | intersections. This is the tirst time the company has shown life in this cas: which the city officials have allowed to slip along for two years. The case is set for a hearing at the ‘term of the superior court which will commence tomorrow. The wer is signed by George F zht, and in it he allges that there is mno statute authorizing the plaintiff to bring the action: that the strects mentioned in the first count had been already paved before the company’s had been laid, and that they had been repaved since: and that the Council Bluffs & Omaha Bridge company de- nies ever having had anything to do with laying the tracks, but that they were laid by the Council Bluffs Railway company, whos motive power consisted of half a dozen spayined mules, in the days when paving and grading were unknown and unthought of in Council Bluffs. This company is now said to be iusolvent, and, if so, the citizens who have been relying upon the company to pay its share of the ecity special taxes will be very much disappointei. Wadsworth Talks. one made the exceedingly gt t we must not t to bring the motor company to terms for feir of keep- ing eastern capital away from us,” said S, B. Wadsworth, secretary of the Board of Trade and one of the foremost real estate men of ty, yesterday while speaking of the watter which at present is of more interest than any other oue thing in Council Bluffs business circles. “Such a statement is pre- posterous. 1 get letters every little while from some castern concern that is looking for a new loeation, asking me for particulars 4s to property values, freight rates, railway conneetions and taxes. 1 answer them, giv- ing the particulars they desire, and the almost invariable reply is that our \xes ar so high as to render Council Bluffs an undesirable place to locate. And why are they high? Forone | thing, because the city government has allowed the motor company to shirk its taxes for the past five years, thus compelling the citizens to bear their own financial burdens | and ulso those which the company should pay. If the handred thousand or more dol- lars that the company now owes the city and the citizens were collected it would | ally reauce taxes, and then we could g0 before'eastern capitalists withoutr being ashamed of ourselves. The plea that we must let people rob us in peace for fear that if we don't other people will refuse to come from the east to roh us some more is hardly worth while listening to.” Another View, re. Bridge to the the The following communication to Tue Be from a prominent citizen and taxpayer gives his views on the situation “The eity voted and paid 54,000 tax to en able that company to which the franchise was granted to build a_bridge across the niver. Section 7 of the ordinance of 1885 provides, ‘That the failure of said company to complete the lay- ing down aud equipment of the street vailway track and the construction of said bridge” within the time provided in this ordinances, shall operate as a full forfeiture of all right'of said company to receive or have paid over to it auy part or portion of the said tax vored and donated by the free: hold resident t xp yers of said city as pro. vided in chapter 13 of the laws of lowa of 1886, ““The people suprosed that this money was appropriated to aid the motor company, and that the motor compauy, in accepting it, acted under penaley of a forfeiture We now learn_that the “motor company was never iu it; that it has never laid a foot of rail: that it owns no property in Council Bluffs; thut it owes no obligations or duties under that ordinance; that the ordinance W acted for the benefit of people who ver used it or intended to use it, except as un iustrument for the perpetration of fraud “During this entive year, last past, these facts were as well known to the mayor and city council as they are to the general public | this day. Why is that ordinance of 185 re. pealed ! Why is no forfeiture declared ! Why is the motor company suffered to use this charter as a means for further plunder? Why do mayor and ecity councitmen consent to secept und ride upon passes furnished by an organization perpetrating such swindling operations upon the people whose servauts these ofticials are elected and paid to be COBSERVER."

Geise & Son, sole agents for the beverage here, received yesterday, announced that the great brewing asso- ciation had triumphed over all com- petitors and had been awarded the ex- clusive right to sell Pabst beer at all points within the juvisdiction of the World fair. This award was made in the face of the strongest competition and only after the most thorough investi- gation and analysis had demonstrated that the Pabst beer was incomparably superior to all others in every essential for a harml and healthful beverage The investigation showed it to be the | purest of all, absolutely free from all | drugs and adulterations, and the visitor at the World's wherever he fair may know that ts o glass of beer while there he is receiving the best thereis in the world. The Pabst beer has received prizes and awards over all competitors hundreds of times, and it has been the general favorite for years in all climes and this latest endorsement is only natural result.
