Grabham Discusse of Prov Advisability ng This Improvement on Grounds for People of All Degrees. The Board of Park Commissioners tesday afternoon decided upon Sunday, May 9, as the date for the formal opening of Fairmont park for the season. A feature of the opening will be band concerts dur- Ing the afternoon and evening. Action on the recommendatién to expend $2.500 on an arteslan well in Fairmont park was deferred by the board. All of the former caretakers at terent parks were reappointed for suing season at thelr old salartes. A. C. Graham, who was e of the board at the meeting Tuesday night submitted the following “message” at the adojurned session yesterday afternoon: the dif- the en- At the beginning of another year of work | for the preservation and development of the parks I would recommend as one of the needed and feasible Imrlo\'»m'nln the #inking of an arteslan well in Falrmont park to supply a constant flow of pure water for the free use of the public. There are & number of such wells In the city, the water from which has all been shown to have uniform medicinal qualities, but all are upon private premises for the use of private parties, and the public cannot ben- efit by them. Such a well in the park would be of great benefit to the public and a boon to those who cannot go to other resorts their health Park Health Resort. Such a well would make Fairmont park a health resort, everything being free for rich and poor alfke. This well could b sunk for about $2,500, which may look like a large sum, but when we the last thirty years and find that the litl- gation’ In par] 0,000 and that no one of these suits has taken an acre from the parks, we feel justi- fied in the hope that we have seen ubout the last of these suits, and may now invest the money in permanent improvements. We ought perhaps to feel proud of those citizens who have compelled the park board to spend enough of the peoplc's money to sink a dozen such wells and use it to protect the titles from citizens who have had no rights the courts would rec- ognize. As @ member of the park bomrd 1 would not Inclose any property belonging to a citizen to make It a_part of the parks, but at the same time I think the board ought to hold at any cost all of the prop- erty that belongs to the city and- make it very interesting for the parties who are all the time trying to get rich at the expense of the citizens, Levee at Lakeview. At this time I want to call the attention of the city council to the matter of the levee at Lakeview park. For good reasons perhaps the council granted private par- ties the right to construct a levee along the lines of Lakeview From recent sur- veys by our engineer I find this leves crosses the park meander lines in many places. The embankment is all right for the parties benefited, but this kind of work glves the park board a great deal of trouble. 1If the work had been lald out by the city's engineer he would have known our lines and there would have been no trouble, but the work was done by an Omaha’ engineer. T do not blame the pres- ent councll, as this work was done two years ago. Members of the park board can e found at any time by any members of the council, and we would be pleased work with ‘them for the best interests the city at all times. There 1s a great deal of new work to done in the parks this season, the first at Lincoln park, which has been added to the system, and’ in Fairmont, Cook. Graham and Cochran parks. The park fund is in good shape to o ‘all the new work re- quired and keep the system in good repair if the same care is used by the park board as formerly, of HESS WILL PROCEED AGAIN Belleves Hedgepeth Guilty and In- tend to Prosecute. County Attorney Hess stated esterday that it was his intention to try Marion Hedgepeth again on the charge of blow- ing the safe in the office of the Council Bluffs Transfer and Stove Storage com- pany “Hedgepeth has been tried twice and each time he was convicted,” sald Mr. Hess. "I belleve the evidence offered by the state at both trials warranted his con- ction, even though the supreme court may think otherwise. I have not recelved as yet a copy of the supreme court's de- clsion In the case, but have written for it. I belleve Hedgepeth was guilty and 1 cer- tainly intend to try him again." W. P. Juckson, who was arrested with Hedgo- peth and was also convicted and sentenced to ten years in the Fort Madison peni- tentiary, will have to serve his term unless paroled or pardoned.

The overdrafts are in the appropriations | for the emergency, city hall and health fund. The greater part of the overdraft in the emorgency fund will be repald by the transfer from the water works sink- ing fund of those sums expended in the | preliminaries for acquiring a munieipal water plant.

The county supervisors put in part of the time of Thursday's wrestling with a big grist of Board Health bills from the oity and other portions of the county. MAiny of these| bills were rejected for one cause or another, but principally because a number of them were not Itemized The bill of J. R. Macrae, “clty qua officer,” for his salary was one of the| claims rejected after it had been referred | to the county attorney. In his opinfon ro- | garding Officer Macrae's claim the county attorney sald: “It would appear from the provisions of the law that all expenses of establishing, maintaining and raising quarantine must be pald upon accounts allowed by the local Board of Health and allowed by the Board of Supervisors. The officer In question was employed by the Board of Health to act as its officer and for it in establishing and raising qu antines and therefore it would be proper for this board upon a bill properly certified, to allow the clalm. You would have the right to take into consideration the services rendered and allow such sum as vou think is proper for the services. The board, however, decided to reject the | bill “for the reason that it fs not in the form of a stated bill and the board Is not able to determine whether or not the hill is | reasonable for the services rendered and nothing In the law authorizes a salaried officer for such services. Mr. Macrae has served as city quar- antine officer for the last two years and this is the first time that the supervisors have rejected his salary claim, $ Another bill which was rejected by the board was that of Dr. A. A. Robertson, health officer of Crescent. In his capacity as health officer Dr. Robertson attended the convention of the Iowa Assoclation of Health Officers at Des Moines last Oc- tober and his bill of expenses amounted to $14. Rule No. 28 of the States Board of Health, relative to the duties of a health officer, says: “He shall also attend and represent the local board at the sanitary conferences called’ by the States Board of Health, his actual expenses therefor being allowed and pald by the local board of health so represented.” The board, after consulting with County Attor; Hess, practically held that the State Board of Health exceeded its authority in making | any such sule. The clalm of A. Johnson for janitor serv- 1ce In the court house at Avoca brought up another question of llability on the part of the county at vesterday's session of the supervisors. The board, while It finally allowed the claim, took the position that the eity of Avoca should pay for such jan- itor service, repairs, heat and all other ex- penses connected with the maintenance of the court house in that city. The statute provides that ‘“‘where terms of court are held in any city or town not the county seat, such city or town shall provide and furnish the necessary rooms and places for such terms free of charge to the county.” Whether this provision contemplates that the city shall furnish heat, janitor service and repairs is the question which the board yesterday prac- tlcally would have to be decided by a friendly suit in the courts. Heretofore the board has allowed all bills in connection with the maintenance of the court house at Avoca without questioning them. There has, however, been at different times agi- | tation in favor of transferring the place of holding court In the east half of the county to Oakland, the citizens of which place stand ready tb-pay all expenses. a large session of | tine | | = —— Real Estate Transfe These transfers were reported to The Bee April 8 by the Pottawattamle County Ab- stract company of Council Bluffs: George W.

FORT DODGE—The new city administra- tion has formally decided to erect a large viaduct, the erection of which has been ag- itated for a number of years and is badly needed, as both Illinols Central and Min- neapolis & St. Louls rallroads are crossed on a winding hill on Farley street, where the viaduct will be buflt.

COMMERCE COUNSEL BILL DEAD Report of Investigntion of Insane (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., April 8.—(Special Tel- efram.)—The senate epent all Thursday On the Lumber trust and commerce counsel bills. The former was amended and passed, but in such shape that in all probability the house will not pass it and the bill to create a commerce counsel was defeated, The legislature started In for the finish today and commenced to handle bills with | with has rule of such haste. The senate began committee and the worked under the mittee two days. The senate early held an executive mes- sfon for the purpose of considering the ap- pointments of Governor Carroll. It was & foregone conclusion that the senate would never stand for the placing of Judge J. P. Conner on the board of control to suc- ceed John Cownle, the farmer member. a sifting already a com- house There was also some talk of turning down | at least two of the members of the Board | ©of Education on the ground that they had not shown themselves friendly to lowa educational interests ana because there ave not on the board any graduate of a college except In some special course They promptly refected and refused to confirm the appointment of Judge Conner A committee was sent to confer with the governor and see if he would not with- draw the name, but he refused, and there was nothing left for the senate but to re- ject the name. The governor immediately appointed F. F. Jones of Villisca to the board of control. He may not be con- firmed, as It is sald there is some oppo- sition. The Board of Education firmed and the men named take charge of the ocolleges Recalled One BilL The legislature today recalled from the governor the Beeley bill to exempt from taxation the stocks of all corporations outside of Iowa. The house started the recall matter when i was discovered that a certain bank bill had been rejected by the senate, and the Seeley bill was at- tacked at first in retaliation. But it also was developed that the bill would exempt from taxation & vast amount of personal property in lowa, and the bill probably will not be passed again. Raising Salaries at Capitol. The senate passed the resolution offered by the committee on retrenchment and reform increasing salaries about the state house. The committee each session fixes the pay of clerks and employes In. the various departments. A number of notable increases were approved and a larger num- ber of clerks will be employed about the state house and in various departments during the next two years than ever before, The senate passed a general bill In rela- tion to fish and game, after adding to it an amendment which forbids fishing through the ice in the winter. The general bill had permitted this form of fishing. The senate passed a resolution giving approval of plans made at the state college for various bulldings to be constructed out of the millage taxes. Small Work in the House. The house spent some time considering the report of the speclal committee on the Insane hospitals. The committee made a report which many of the members re- garded as indefinite and weak In that It lacked specific Information as to any wrong doing on the part of the board or the superintendents. The house refused to hear from the Board of Control. The report was adopted after much opposition. The house passed a bill from the senate appropriating $1,00 to kill moths, a bill to require airbrakes on the large interurban cars and a bill to forbld the smoking of cigarettes by persons under 2. The house also passed a bill forbldding drinking liquors on trains and & senate bill which contemplates proceeding against bawdy houses by Injunction process. House Passes Liguor Bill, The house this afternoon passed the senate bill prohibiting intoxicants on trains, This puts an end to the sale of liquor in dining cars for consumption while on the Members of the train crew are also was all con- yesterday will July 1. Towa given the power to eject offenders and: call upon local officers to arrest them, but may, not make arre Tenching of Amriculture. A There seems to be little prospect of the passage of the Sheerley bill looking to the teaching of agriculture in the common schools of the state. The bill, in the form in which it finally passed the senate, would do little more than give warning to the teachers of the state that within three years the teaching of the rudiments of ag~ riculture would be required in the common schools, and especially In the rural schools of the state. Neither s there to be any~ thing done to provide for the educatlon of teachers for this work at the state temche ers’ college, or for any other speclal braneh, President Seerley of the teachers’ college wanted help for giving teachers training in commerclal lines, as there 18 now great de- mand for teachers of this kind, but the | legislature turned it down. Glove Men Want Duty. Glove manufacturers in Des Molnes have come out in favor of a duty on gloves in | the new tariff bill. J. H. Cownie, I dent of a local glove factory, volced the | sentirments of the glove men. He says | that the duty will cause millions of dollars to be made In the United States, as thers is no profit in making gloves at the pres- ent time, the importers being able to bring them in cheaper. As a whole most glove men are supporting that feature of the tarif? bill. ’ Man Rusm Down in Yards. D. L.

New Board mot in Fav The Carroll bill for the creation of & new “Board of Public Health” is slesping in the hands of the senate appropriations committee, where it is likely to remain. On the house side the bill never even got to first base. The idea of creating a new board, of almost unlimited powers, to han- dle everything from vaccination to insttuc. tion In butter making and prosecuting fos sale of Impure paint, never caught but a tew of the senators. The senate cominit- tee Is trylng to figure out how much-the new plan would cost more than the pfes< ent one, but it is & hard thing to estimat as the appropriation inthe ‘bill. is- jude nite In character and the expenditures might be almost without limit. National Guara BiL The adoption of the bill to appropriaty for the national guard means that hence- forth the guard will have just $130,000 & year more to use than it has now—40,000 from the state and $%0,000 from the federal The guard will ‘be required to have four machine gun batterfes and wome other new organizations, but the greatest expense will be in increasing the membership of the companies. This will make it very much more difficult to keep the full quota of companies and a larger number of disbandments may be expected.
