Real Estate Tr | the maintenance of the librar: CARNEGIE BUILDS LIBRARY Asks Only that Oity of Gouncil Bluffs Pro- vide a Fund for Maintenanoe. AMOUNT WITHIN THE PRESENT CITY LEVY Matter Has Been Pend for a Long Time, but Trustees Had Been Unable to Get in Touch with Donor. Andrew Carnegie has offered to con- tribute $50,000 for a public library building fn Council Bluffs. The offer is made In the following letter received yesterday morning by W. 8. Baird, member of the board of trustees of the free public library: Andrew Carnegle, 32 Ninety-first Street, New. York, 1903 —W. 8. Baird, Council Biuffs,” Ta.—Dear Sir: sponding to your letter in behalf 6f Council Bluffs, It the city agrees to the resolut‘;finl ublic of the councll to maintain a free library at a cost of not less than $5,000 a year and provides a suitable site for the buliding, Mr. Carnegle will be glad to furnish $50,000 to erect a free public.library Lullding for Council Blaffs. Respectfuily, JAMES BERTRAM, Private Secretary. Trustec Baird was a member of a com- mittee appointed by the’ board nearly two | years ago to take vp the matter with Mr. Carnegle, but for some reason the com- mittee was unable to get in touch with the multi-millionaire. Last year the bodrd de- cided it might have better success If it took steps to secure a site for a buflding before again approachlng Mr. Carnegle. A levy of 8 mills for this purpose was recom- mended by the board and approved by the | city council. This tax, collection, will realize nearly $11,000. this time another special committee was appointed, of which Congressman Smith was a member. The assistance of Generai Dodge was sought and the Iatter agreed to bring the matter before Mr. Carnegle If possible. The matter, however, dragged along without result and last June Trustee Baird decided to take it up on his own account. His first letter to Mr. Carpegle, dated June 14 last, brought an answer shortly after Christm#s, when Mr. Baird received a blank, which he filled out, giv- ing a etatement of the population, assessed valuation of the city, library fund re- sources and other statistics asked for. This brought forth further inquiries and on December 31 Mr. Baird wrote, assuring Mr. Carnegle that the city would bind itselt to experd from $5,000 to $7,000 for the maintenance of the library. The letter res celved yesterday from Mr. Carnegle was the result The trustees will ask Mayor Morgan to call a meeting of the city council Monday night, at which the aldermen will be askea | to adopt a resolution binding the city to expend not less than $5,000 annually for This wili be a mere matter of form, under the present levy the library fund amounts to $5,450 and could be legally increased to §7,000. The law permits the city to levy 2 mills annually for the maintenance of its library, but in fixing the levy last August the board decided that a levy of 1% mills was sufficient. The library is at prazgnt located In rooms on the third floor of the Merriam block, for which un annual rental of $900 is pald. The expense of maintaining the libray, not taking Into account the purchase of new books, fs about $4,000 per annum. CITY WINS OUT ON TAX CASE County Cannot Collect on Lots Owned by City on West Broad- wi The city scored an important victory yesterday In its sult to enjoin the county treasurer from collecting taxes on some 100 lots owned by the city on West Broad- way. The lots in question became the property of the city on foreclosure for spe- clal taxes and it was contended on behalf of the municipality that as they were held for public use and were not acquired for pecuniary profit, but only to secure debt due the city and not held for rent or in- crease of value, they were exempt from taxation. Judge Thormell sustained the con- tention of the city, ordered that the tem- porary injunction be made permanent and that the taxes be cancelled. The city had regularly pald taxes on these lots up to this rear, but this year decided to ralee the advertised for sale with the other delin- quent property by the county treasurer. Judge Thornell’s ruling 1s considered an important one, as it is believed here that the question involved was raised for the first time in this state. Divorces were granted to Bertha M. Smith from Ellis T. Smith, Hattle Crane from F. W. Crane and Sarab D. Gould from Willlam T. Gould. The suit of Flickinger Bros. agalnst the Sterling Manufacturing com- 2 was settled out of court and dis- missed.

Office open SUSPENDS ELEVATOR SERVICE Unle: © Order is Rescinded It W of Drill Hereafter in Fed- eral Building. Postmaster Hazelton recefved an order yesterday from the department at Wash- ington to suspend the elevator service in the federal building except during sessions of United States court. This order comes | a8 the result of a recent report from the inspector of supplies for public bufldings. | The inspector reported that in his opinfon there was not a sufficient number of offi- cers and employes occupying offices in the bullding to warrant the continual servige of an elevator. The elevator 1s run by water pressure | and the government pays $500 annuaily by contract to the water works company for | supplying the postoffice building with water. This, it was claimed by the inspec- | tor, was excessive and the closing down of the elevator service was suggested by him as a means to reduce this expense. | This contract with the water company does not expire until July 1, so the only | saving that can be made until then by closing down the elevator will be the salary of the conductor, which is $42 a month federal bullding, will make an effort to have the order rescinded, as lawyers and others having business in the building dally bave already protested against the elovator service being. done away with. | The collector of customs has his office on | the fourth floor, where are also located the dormitories of the raflway mail clerks. The offices of the pension examner and in- ternal revenue collector are on the third floor, while the court rooms and offices of the clerk of courts are on the second floor. It is expected that a petition signed by the attorneys and others having business in the bullding protesting against the sus- peneion of the elevator service will be sent to Washington.

Superiniendent Clark states that the courts of Douglas county, Nebraska, gave the custody of the child to him, but before the foster mother, carried the child out of the jurisdiction of the court into Towa. The allegation is made by Mr. Clark that Mrs. Woods 18"not morally fit to have the cusiody of the little one. On an order of court Sheriff Cousins went to the rooms of Mrs. Woods on Broadway and secured possession of the child and will retain custody of it pending the hearing in | the habe: corpus proceedings, which has | been set by Judge Thornell for Monday morning.

Des Moines Has Hopes. The members of the Catholic church here are much interested in a dispatch from Rome stating that the congregation of the propaganda is studylng a new division of the archdiocese of Dubuque. The setting apart of the northwestern portion of the | state as a separate see last year was re- | garded as a wise step and the bishop at Stoux City is now getting fairly started. The Catholics of the southwestern part of the state have been trying to have a new see created with Des Moines as the see city, but have met with rebuffs because of the opposition of Bishop Cosgrove at Daven- port. It is belleved, however, that on the death of Bishop Cosgrove, or in case of his transter elsewhere, there would be a divi- sion of the diocese and establishment of & bishop in Des Moines. Wilcox Sent Back to Hospital. Andrew Wilcox, who was arrested in South Omaha a few days ago and by the board of insanity turned over to his brother, who arrived from Guthrie Center, came back to Des Moinés today and, proceeding to the state house, raised a disturbance. | The sheriff was notified and he sent two deputies to the capitdl to arrest Wilcox. He resisted arrest and became violent and was with much difficulty taken to the county jail. It turned out that he was out of the insane hospital on parole only and was sup- posed to be in the care of his brother in Guthrie county. He will be taken back to the state insane hespital at once. Rock Island Connection. There is a well developed rumor afloat that the Rdck Island management has in contemplation the bullding this year of a short connecting line between the Fort Dodge route and the Cedar Rapids divi slon, the line to run from Fort Dodge east to Dows, in Wright county. The two im- portant branches of the Rock Island run- ning to northwestern Iowa are a part of the time parallel, but touch at mo points. A connection such as indicated would be of vast benefit to the system, but if done would probably méan also an extension of the Ruthven line to a connection with the Cedar Rapids division.
