The propo- sition of the new company was the sub- Ject of general discussion throughout the city yesterday and it appeared to be the consensus of opinion that no more fran- chises should be granted by the city unless it derived a substantlal revenue in return for such a grant. Attention was called to the fact that in Des Moines when the Mutual Telephone company secured a char- ter it did so on the agreement that it pay the city a revenue of 5 per cent of its gross earnings. Objection was also raised by many busi- ness men to the granting of a franchise for such & long term as thirty-five years, as asked by the mew company. It was suggested that the city in the near future, following the trend of the times, might de- sire to acquire municipal control of the H.

FORTY MILLION ORANGEINE POWDERS Gonsumed In Past Three Years, HAVE CARRIED Comfort, Rellef, Prevention, Cure all the globe and brought back grateful testimony from Physiclans, Clergymen, Lawyers, ‘Tollers, Women of Society and Shop, describing INSTANT RE- public utilities by purchase and that there- fore the ordinance granting the franchise should contain a provision reserving to the eity the right to acquire by purchase the plant at the end of five years, or some stated reasonable length of time. Also that such purchase be effected on an ap- praised value, the company to select one appralser, the city another and a third to be selected by these two. The ordinance introduced by the new company provides for furnishing the city with ten free telephones. Inquiry at the city hall yesterday elicited the Informa- tion that at present the city has the use of fifteen telephones free of charge. Too Long Between Regulations. One of the aldermen, in looking over the ordinance yesterday at the city hall, ex- pressed himself as being opposed to the | clause giving the city the right to regu- late the rates charged by the company once in every nine years. He gave It his opinion that there should be no restriction as to time, but that the city should have this power whenever it was deemed ex- pedient or whenever the conditions justi- fled auch a regulation. A ‘When the Long Distance Telephone com- pany was granted a franchise in Council Bluffs an annual tax of §1 on each of its poles was made one of the provisions, and” from this the city derives an income of over $100. It was pointed out yesterday that in the ordinance introduced by the new company there ls mo such provision. 1 of the aldermen also expressed elves as being In favor of requiring the compauy, in the event of the people voting to give it a franchise, to furnish a cash bond as a guaranty that it would ful- fill its contract with the city and further that the ordinance should distinctly pro- vide a certaln date at which the Installa tion of the plant should begin and be com- pleted. Inclined to Be Cautious. ‘With the experience gained in the past when the Suburban Motor company secured a franchise which was later absorbed by the old motor company and when the franchise granted the new gas and electric company was to all intents and purpos turned over to the old company, the aldermen are inclined to go cautiously before belng re- sponsible for the granting of any charter to a new company. While the ordinance introduced by the new telephone com- pany contains & clause prohibiting 1t from its franchise to the nothing to prevent the Nebraska Telephone company from acquiring its stock and thereby the control of the company. Alderman Casper s sald to be interested in the new company, and it was stated yesterday that when a business man sug- gested certain provisions that ought to be incorporated in the ordinance to safeguara the city’s Interests he made this n: ant remark: “If you put all these re- quirements in the ordinance we will not be able to bond our company.” IOWA RAILWAY CLUB MEETING Oficials Put in a Day Dis- & Matters of Interest in The lowa Rallway club, which was or- ganized at a meeting of the officers of the operating departments of the several rall- roads In this state on January 21 of this {year, in Des Moines, held its regular monthly session yesterday in the leaguo rooms of the Grand hotel fn this city.

IOWA CROPS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION Rain s Needed and Warmer Wenther Would Help Growth, but Condi- tions for Farm Work Could Hardly Be Improved. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 16.—(Special.)—The State Board of Control will include in the next quarterly publication some interesting statistics in regard to the population of the state institutions, showing the average for certain periods and the changes which are taking place. From this it will be learned that during the year ended March 81 last there were the follpwing Increases of population at the various institutions: Three hospitale for the Insane College for the Blind..... Soldiers’ home .............. Soldfers' Orphans home Industrial School for Boys Industrial School for Girls.. Institution for the Feeble Minde Penitentiary at Fort Madison Penitentlary at Anamosa, decrease Net Increase of population. Y The total population of all the Institu- tions the first day of the present month was 7,336. The statistics show that there 1s & steady increase in the number of in- ne persons at the state hospitals, not- withetanding that the board has sent large numbers from the state to county hospitals and set many of them free on paroles. This increase is such as to indlcate that there will be need in the future for constant en- largements of the state hospitals. Towa Weather and Crops. Director Sage of the Iowa weather and crop service today issued the first of his weekly bulletins on lowa crops as follows: The crop season Is at least ten days in advance of the average in this section, with exceptionally favorable conditions for early farm cperations; but the germination of seed and growth of vegetation has been retarded by cold and dry weather. March was warmer than usual, but the firat two weeks In April_have been unseasonably gold. with high winds and very light rain- fall. But the soil has been in very fine condition for seeding and plowing, with sufficlent molsture near the surface, to start germination when the temperature riges. Seeding of small grain is practically com- pleted, except in portions of the northern section. Plowing for corn is in progress, and A large area I8 in readiness for the lanter. Orasees made a falr start in arch, but growth has been checked, an the present outlook for the hay crop is not flattering. Except in a few localities, win- ter wheat and rye wintered fairly well. There are some reports of damage to clover meadows. Fruit trees are in good condi- tion, except the peach. The condition of live 'stock s somewhat below the average in respect to flesh, but there are no reports of loss by disease. New Corporations. chool census of the district showed 6,210 children of school age, the enroliment in the public schools was 5,182, which he con- sidered a splendid showin, The total en- roliment tor March shows an increase of 280 over that for the same month in 1901.

He could not announce the amount definitely, but he belleved that, within a few years certsin sources of revenue, representing a capital of the value of £30,000,000 would be set aside for this purpose.

'AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Liquor Dealers and Druggists Must Take Out Licenses Promptly. f MAYOR KOUTSKY ANNOUNCES HIS POLICY Will Not Allow Bu ducted Unless All L ments Are Fally and Promptly Complied With. Now is the time for liquor license appli- cations and many are coming In to the city clerk. All licenses of this kind expire on May 1, and Mayor Koutsky sald yesterday that he would {nsist upon prompt payment of the license money. “In times past,” the mayor said, “the | payment of this license money has been | permitted to drag along for weeks after May 1. This year I propose to have every dealer in liquor, as well as afl druggists who use liquor in any manner, pay the fee provided by law into the city treasury. The money will be used in taking up outstand; ing school warrants and thus the city will be saved interest. There will be no dila | tory tactics as in the past, for 1 have made up my mind, and every dealer in liquor who has not paid the license fee into the | eity treasury on or befors May 1 will be closed. It will be the same with the drug stores."” Last year about ninety saloons were granted licenses, but the drug stores failed to show up. It is understood that in order to avold the tax some drugglsts send out for spirits frument! when needed in a prescription and therefore insist that they are exempt from tax.
