RECORD FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Some Statisties of What Has Been Accomplished During 1902 in the Way of Materl; 0 ress in Oity. Prog- When the clock on the Bloomer school house tolled the midnight hour last night it sounded the passing of a year which in the history of Council Bluffs will go on record as the most prosperous it has en- joyed and the ushering in of a new year which indlcations poiat to being equally prosperous. Not only have publie improvements kept pace with private enterprise, but the de- velopment of the city along all lines has surpassed all former records. Handsome business blocks have replaced the old-time frame bulldings, landmarks of the city when it was a frontier town; elegant residences have been bullt in every section of the city untll the year closed with improvements, public and private, estimated to aggregate at least $1,000,000, The last yoar has scen the advent into the city of another great rallroad system. expended during the lsst twelve months thousands upon thousands of dollars for its right-of- way and for its terminal bufldings in this city. Other raflroads centering in Councll Bluffs have also expended large suma for improvements within the eity limits, and to which must be added the large expenditure of the motor co in improving its re- sort at Lake Manawa and its general street system in this city and between Council Blufts and Omaha. Merchants Have Banner Year. For the retall and wholesale merchant 1902 was a banner year, and It was the same for the many large wholesale agricultural houses on Implement row. The banks have had a most prosperous twelve months, as evidenced by thelr December statements. Never in the history of the ecity has the volume of business in the real estatq mar- ket reached the magnitude it dld durfng 1902, and more business bufldings and pri- vate residences were erected during the last twelve months than ever before. The indebtedness of the' municipality has materfally decreased, and the city starts out on the mew year with its finances in better shape than for many years past. Saveral new manufacturing enterprises have located in the city, and several large implement houses have established head- quarters here for this section of the coun- try during the last twelve months. The public schocls have enjoyed an era of marked prosperity along with everything clse, and the year closes with the Ia u‘nrnnmenl of puplls in the history of the city. Record of Public Improvements. Public improvements in Councll Blufts during 1902 kept pace with times, anc today this &ty s one of the ‘best A towns In western lowa, Duriag thewlas twelve months approximately 60,000 square yards:of vitrified brick pavement were laic at an average price of $1.75 & yard. The streets thus improved during the yea wore as follows: * North Eighth street from Broadway to Mynster, 1,81.5 yards; Des Mol « Council Blufts base.

Owing to the demand for brick being in excess of the supply only about a mile and a half of brick eldewalks were laid dur- ing the last year, although contracts had been let by the city for mearly six miles. In addition to the paving and permanest sidewalks the city erected a new bridge over Indian creek at the Intersection of Main and Mynster streets at a cost of $6,000, expended nearly $1,000 on the bridge at North First street and contracted for & new bridge at Twenty-third avenue. Record Real Estate Tra; avenue to Six- Galesburg top fern. One of the most notable features of the | last year and one of the particular strik- ing evidences of the general prosperiiy which prevailed in Council Bluffs and | Pottawattamie county was the remarkable activity of the real estate market. The sale of farm'land and the prices obtgined | | this office and, besides the postmaster and his deputy, fourteen clerks are required to handle this business. Fifteen mail carriers are employed for the city distribution of mail. Owing to the continued increase of . business it will be necessary to call upon the department for additional help this year. The receipts for the st year by months were as follows Local From Sub- Business. Offices. January . ,328.66 $15,32.99 Frhrnnry 5,479.5 316.89 Hnrrh 5,946.01 458.05 Nuvember .

Fire Losses Small, The fire loss during 1902 was remarkably snall and, although the department re- sponded to seventy-three calls during the twelve months, the total damage sustained 1s estimated at about $,000, the greater part of which was fully covered by insur- ance. This speaks much for the efficiency of the fire department. The Council Bluffs fire department maintalns four engine houees, and comprises nineteen men, of whom John L. Templeton, a veteran fire fighter, is chief. During the last year the department purchased several new horset 1,000 feet of new hose and all four of t engine houses were thoroughly renovated and repainted. 1 The calls responded to during the year were as follows: January, 4; February, 7; March, 7; April, 17; May, 4; June, 4; July, 3; August, 2; September, §; October, 3; November, 7; December, 10. Criminal Statistie E The city during the last year was com. paratively free from crime of a grave na- ture. The number of arrests was about the same in 1901 and most of the cases were for minor offenses, although there was about the usual number of burglaries. During 1902 the police department made 1,311 arrests, as against 1,321 in the pre- vious year. The arrests during each month of 1902 were as follows: January, 65; February, 100; March, 62; April, 85; May, 157; June, 1564; July, 148; August, 12 September, 106, October, 114; November, 110; December, 101. Health Statistics. But for the epidemic of smallpox. which was prevalent almost everywhere lai winter, Council Bluffs would have had a good health record for 1902, As it was the number of cases of contagious dis- eal reported to the Board of Health w: greatly in excess of that for 1901. In ad- dition to smallpox there were many cases of measles, as compared with the previous twelve months. The death rate, however, was sma.ler than for several years'pa despite the large increase in the city's population. The number of contagious dis- eases reported to the Board of Health for 1902 was 413, as against 277 for 1901. The mortuary statistics obtainable are not the most accurate, as many cases are never reported to the city clerk. For the last year 318 burial permits had been sued, as compared with 383 for 1901, for 1900 and 336 for 1899. These permits do not Include those issued for persons outside the city. The number of deaths re- ported each month was as follows: Janu- , 87; February, 24; March, 85; April, 20 ¥, June, 22; July, 25; August, 31; tember, 24; October, 23; November, 31; december, 16. Marriage License Clerk Busy. Councfl Bluffs sustained during 1902 its reputation as a veritable Gretna Green for marrying couples and the records of the clerk of the-district court show there were sued 650 licenses to wed during the last twelve months, belng four less than issued in 1901 Divided in months they were as follows: January, 46; February, 46; March, 48; April, 47; May, 43; June, 66; July, 4 August, 47; September, 55; October, 85; | November, 65; December, 56. While the record of marriage licens issued shows that Cupid was not in any way ldle during 1902, the docket of the | district court reveals the fact that the number of divorce cases was above the | averaj For the four terms of court seventy-three divorce sults were filed in Council Blufts and eleven in the court at | Avoea, making a total of eighty-four. In the suits filed in Council Bluffs the women | appear as plaint!ffs in fifty-one and the men in twenty-two. Cost ot Carin for Po !

(From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Ia., Dec. 31.—(Speclal.)— The State Teachers' assoclation was fairly started today. The first meeting of the as- sociation proper was this evening, when the president, C. E. Sheldon of Indianola, pre- sented his address reviewing the hool work in the state, and there was an address on school matters by Superintendent Schaef- fer of the department of education in Pennsylvania. In the afternoon a dozen round table meetings were held in as many different places. The enrollment at the convention is estimated to be about 700, as against 1,100 last year. The educational councll reported to the general association on the topic of “The Sequence of Btudies,” which had been considered by the council two previous years. The report covered the entire ground of order in which studies should be followed up in all educational work. The report on the teaching of Eng- ljsh war considered by the council for the first time and the report approved for refer- ence next year. The council decided upon taking up next year for discussion the sub- Ject of the salaries of those in the teachi: profession and generally inaugurating a movement for better pay for teachers. This will be brought to a head at the session next year just before the legislature meets, and an effort will be made to secure some desirable legislation. Academy of Science Meetin The annual meeting of the Iowa Academy of Science was concluded this morning at the state geological rooms. The attendance was somowhat disappointing. Professor H. E. Summers of Ames présided. The most important actlon taken was in reference to A change in the time and place of hold- ing the meetings. On recommendation of the executive committee it was decided to recommend to the council that the annual meetings be held in May, and that they be held at the various colleges and universi- ties of the state in rotation, It is planned also to have at each meeting a popular 'g - ture. This recommendation will probably be adopted. There was disappointment that Professor Macbride was not present at the meetings, as he arrived too late, but he will lecture this evening. A report of the com- mittee on food adulterations was read, also papers by B. Shimek, Alfred N. Cook, J. B. ‘Weems, Alice W. Hess, E. C. Myers, T. C. Frye and B. H. Balley.

The secretary of the State Board of Health today received notices of cases of smallpox in two places heretofore free from the dls- e. From Logan, Harrison county, five cases were reported, and from Scott town- ship, Poweshlek county, three cases were reported. But few new cases were reported from districts known to be infected.

It is claimed by the government detectives who have been prosecuting the case that his marriage yesterday to the young woman who had furnished the most damaging evidence against him will not prevent them from getting her story before the court. ELEVATOR AT FT. DODGE BURNS Dec. 31.—(Special Tel- egram.)—The big elevator of the Great Western Cereal company's mills at this point was burned to the ground this even- ing. One hundred thousand bushels of oats and a large quantity of valuable machinery were destroyed and the loss will reach from $75,000 to' $100,000, fully covered by insurance. The cause of the fire is a mystery. It was probably started by a chance spark from the machinery. The flames, fanned by a strong south wind, spread rapidly. The elevator is connected with the main mill building by a closed passageway, and for a time the mill building proper was endan- gered, but plucky work by the firemen and mill employes, armed with hose with which the mill building is fitted, confined the flames to the elevator, the loss on which will be total. A. C. Heath, one of the managers of the mill, stated this evening that the elevator ‘would probably be rebullt, but the mill will necessarily be shut down and seventy-five men are thrown out of employment.
