Residents of the western portion of Gar- per township fled a petition yesterday with Ccunty Auditor Innes asking the Board of Supervisors to divide the township into two voting precincts. The matter will come be- fore the board at its meeting next week and It 1s sald that the request will be acted upon favorably. Garner towpship is of ir- regular formation and residents in the ex- treme western portion are forced to make a trip of from six to elght miles to reach the voting place, whish is located at Grange hall, about the center of the township., Owing to the Irregular topography of the township those living in the western portion are obliged to come to Council Bluffs on their way to the voting place. This long trip k many of the voters at home and ex- ccpt In presidential years the township never casts it full vote. The total vote of the townshlp is about 500 in presidential years, but in other years it rarely exceeds 250. ‘The petitions apk that the dividing line be between sections § and 6 and 7 and 8, and that a separate voting precinct be es- tablished of each division. This the County Board of Supervisors has the authority. to do under the law. A Lewls township is much in the same con- dition as Garner is and it has been suggested that the board make two yoting precincts of'it, the same as requested for Garner. Real Estate Transfers.

TOTAL CITY LEVY OVER FORTY MILLS Street Supervisor Taylor Restgns and Theodore Guittar is Appointed Position—New Fire The arguments of President Rohrer and | % | other trustees of the public library carried | the day and the city council yesterday aft- ernoon authorized the levy of a 3-mill tax for the purchase of a site for a perma- nent home for the library. With a suit- able site assured the library’ trustees hope to secure a donation from Andrew Carne- gle sufficient to erect the buflding. The members of the library board who appeared before the council were Presi- dent Rohrer and Trustees Baird, Cleaver, Tyler and Stewart. In presenting the mat- ter to the council President Rohrer told of the correspondence had with Mr. Car- negle and the hopes the board entertained of recelving financial assistance from him in the event of a suitable eite being as- sured. He explained that nothing could be expected from Mr. Carnegie untll such a site was assured. The authority for the 3-mill levy, he sald, would place the board at once in a position where it could seek Mr. Carnegle's assistance. Trustee Stew- art urged that the couneil take favorable | out the city has placed-a premium on car- | action on the request of the board. He sald he felt certain that no taxpayer would begrudge $1 of the tax, as the pub- Me library was the only general éduca- tional enterprise in the city, and that the time would surely come, whether assist- ance was received from Mr. Carnegle or not, ‘that a library bullding would be erected in Council Bluffs. Trustee Baird told the aldermen that even in the event of the board failing to interest Mr. Ca: negle in the project it would not be aban- doned, as he believed the citizens would ultimately devise means whereby the Ii- brary could be installed in a permanent bullding of its own. He argued that the library at present was situated in a bufld- ing which he characterized as little better than a tinder box, and that in the event of a fire it would cost the city from $25,- 000 to $30,000 to replace the books now in it. He urged the necessity of a fire- proof building for the library. Dr. Cleaver and Trustee Tyler also spoke on behalf of the tax proposition. Two' Oppose Levy. Alderman Casper opposed the levying ot the tax and suggested that at some future date there would be need of a mew city bulding, which could also contain the Ii- brary. Alderman McDonald spoke in fa- vor of the levy, holding that the public library was the best public imstitution in the city. When the vote was taken Al- dermen Casper and Huber alone voted against the levy. With the 3-mill tax for a library site the levy for city purposes for 1902 will be 40% mills, exclusive of the 2-mill nvy for park_purposes. ¥ The, report of the finance o-mmmn reo- ommended a levy of 1% mills for the bridge fund, but Alderman Casper, char- man of the committee on bridges and city property, was of the opinfon that 1 miil would be sufficlent and the half mill was cut off, leaving the levy for this fund tho same as It was last_year. The levies for the other funds were left as recommended by the committee. The levy as decided upon will be as follows: General . ot ?"."" eotion, pavi ntersection, paving and Intersection, paving and grading bonds.. & Intersection. 13 General sewer . 'l J\l L I% 1 1 . 5 ol 1% 40% The resignation of Street Supervisor Taylor was accepted, although stoutly op- posed by Alderman Tinley, who wanted a report from the officer before his resigna- tion shold be accepted. Theodore Guittar, until recently deputy oll inspector, was elected to fill the vacancy. Alderman Ti ley opposed thq ction of Guittar on the grounds that he was worth between $50,- 000 and $60,000, and that the position should be given to a man needing it. Alderman Casper gt first suggested the re-clegtion of Taylor, insisting that he was the best man for the place, but meeting with no encour- agement, he urged the appointment of A. Avery, former street, supervisor. - A lengthy discussion over the depleted condition of the streets and alleys fund followed, Alderman. Casper bringing . the matter up and stating that after the Au- Bust-pay roll had been paid there would be less than $1,000 in the fuid for the re- maining seven months of the fiscal year. He sald that acting as temporary chairman of the committee he had stopped all work except that performed in payment of poll tax. At his suggestion the streets and alleys fund was relleved of the payment for a carload of lumber and this will be pald out of the bridge fund. Alderman Lougee, who at the last session of the city councll, asked to be relieved of the duties of chairman of the committs plained that no more money had been spent up to date on the streets this year than bhad been last year up to the same time, but the fund had beem crippled by the re- fusal of Supervisor Baker to permit any portion of tl county road fund to be turned over to the streets and alleys fund as had been done in former years and which had been counted on when the annual ap- propriations were made. Mayor Morgan announced that he had ap- pointed Alderman McDonald chairman of the streets and alleys committee viee Al- derman Lougee, and this had pecessitated & change in the makeup of several of the committees, leaving them as follows: Finance—Fleming, Lougee, Casper. Judiclary—Lougee, McDonald, Tintey. Claime and Printing—Huber, Olson. Flem- 1ny l‘!lmu and Alhyl—\luDonlld. Casper, B‘xd.io: and City Property—Casper, Lov- ett.
