PUBLIC LIBRARY BUILDING Directors Diecuss the Matter and Will Try to Decide on Plans, SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF CONSTRUCTION the Levy of n Tax ect & Bullding and | Lana win ¥ The Trus | volnt special committee, consisting of s Troutman, Casady and Baird, ap ! at the last meetiug of the library board to ways and means for se- curing a library building, will meet this afternoon at the ofice of Member Casady, when a plau will be determined on. Under the law, the recent census having demonstrated that Council opulation of 25,000 and upwards, the library rustees are authorized to levy a for the purpose of securing a library build- ing. At the present assessed valuation of the city this would realize in the neighbor- | hood of $10,000. From one of the members of the committee is was learned yesterday that the committee was in favor board exercising its full limit and levying | noxt year the 3 mills. The amount thus realized, it i« claimed, would be hardly more than sufficient purchase an quate site for the building. For the erection of the building itself bonds could be | sued and a tax levied annually to create a sinking fund to pay the interest and ultimately wipe out the bonds. After th first year it would not he necessary to make the levy more than 1 or 2 mills, it this plan was adopted. General sentiment is in favor of a library bullding and now that the law permits the securing of one it is gencrully conceded it should be taken advantage of. § of the matter yesterday, Trustee Baird said “A city of the size of Council Bluffs should long ago have had a public library build- ing, but under the law the board of trus- tees was unable to do anything in the mat ter. Now that it is demonstrated that we have a population of 25,000, we are in a sition to get one and I believe the board will avail itself of the opportunity. There many reasons why should have library building. Under th out we cannot levy more than 1 mill nually for the maintenance of the library and the greater of what would be realized triom such a levy would be absorb nt pled by the library cally nothing left books. With a librar. question of rent devise to ade- an There would be with whick cti bullding of our own the would not enter. If the bullding was erected on the proceeds of bonds the law permits us to levy not ex- ceeding & mills annually te create a sinx- ing fund to pay these bonds and we would have the proceeds from the 1-mill levy to malntain the library with. After deducting the necessary running cxpenses, such cte., we would have a nice little ach year to put into new books." Troutman said ho was of the same opinion as Mr. Baird, and further ventured the opinion that If a site for the building was secured, he believed some of the publlc-spirited citizens might bo induced to contribute of their wealth 8o that the building could be erected with- out having to issue bonds. He thought it possible that assistance in this direction might be obtained from other sources “Even {f this should not prove to be the case, Council Bluffs certainly ought to have a public library building to which it could point with pride and as long as I am a member of the library board I shall do all in my power to get it one,” he said Mayor Jennings says he is in favor the city owning a library building, suggests that the library truste slowly in the matter. That is believes, that with the taxe ent height, they should be content to levy not more than 1 mill annually and wait until the proceeds of such tax are sufficient to purchase a site instead of levying a mill tax the first year.

The edict has gone forth that henceforth minors are not to be permitted to play billiards or pool in saloons. proprictors of two downtown youths have been wont to congregate at night and play were first notified of the new order and they naturally protested unless it was to apply to every saloon in the city.

An important case decided by the Towa supreme court today was that known as the Marco Chiesa case from Polk county, i volving the character of the mulct tax law for salooms. Chiesa was under junction not to sell liquor under the old law. He was fined for contempt. He con tended that when the code was adopted and the mulct tax law materially changed the legislature thoreby made a new law nd injunctions under the old law were no longer in force. Judge Prouty of the dis- trict court accepted this view of the case but today the supreme court decided other- wise and holds that injunctions under the old law are still in force. Another case was from Audubon county in which an itinerant doctor escaped the penalty of violatlon of the medical practice by contending that discriminations in the act were unconstitutional. He held that the requirement that physician, to get a certificate without examination, “must have practiced medicine for at least three years in cne locality” was discriminating against the itinerant doctors. Judge Macy held to this view and released the doctor, but tho supreme oewrt, on an appeal from the state, decided that the law is fair and not discriminative. In a case from Madison county a con- victed person sought to escape on the tech- nical objection that more than one person was in the grand jury room when a wit ness was being examined. The witness was a girl who was very nervous and her father wag permitted to be in the room while she © her testimony. The court holds that this was not a violation of law.

The cigarette dealers who were selling for the company in Des Moines were assessed $70 each for the current quarter as soon as the Tennessee decision was announced. The cluimed that as they had been selling since the first of September ip violation of law they had a right to make the assessment and make the dealers all pay, even if they did stop selling as soon as the tobacco com- pany gave notice that it would not longer be responsible for the tax. Now the com- pany will have one of the dealers pay the tax under protest and ask the county to remit the taxes. This will be refused and the case will g0 to the court Immediately on application for an order to remit. In asmuch as the assessors have in some in- stances made the assessment of taxes sin the luw went Into effect three years ago and the American Tobacco company was under contract with all dealers in Towa to stand all expenses brought on hy en tangl nt with the laws, the case will be pushed hard Judg MeClain Emlin McClain, the newly-elected judge |ot the supreme court, took the oath of office today and is sitting with the court, although not yet a4 member.
