Sr Iowa Legislature Will Be Asked to Amend the Laws in This and Other Respeots. Election of Assessor and City At torney by the Counoil Also Fav ored—Council Proceedings. At the monthly meeting of the city council Monday evening, at which all the memberp were present cxcept Mr. Pinkie, Mayor Pierce submitted a spe cial message making recommendations for somewhat radical departures In cer tain methods of city government. A commission outside me city council to control the water works and electric lighting systems, the election of a city assessor and city attorney by the coun cil instead of the people, and the right to divide the city Into sprinkling and garbage districts were among the rec ommendations endorsed. The mayor's message wa? as follows: "Gentlemen of the City Council: It seems to me appropriate that your rep resentatives to the meeting of the League of American Municipalities should make a report to you at this lime. The meeting was a great success, representatives being present from all parts of the United States and Canada. There were FO many valuable papers read before the convention it would be impossible to give even tin idea of all the facts presented. I think it will be more valuable to give some of the con clusions reached by me after talking with the different delegates attending the convention. "Naturally one of the most interest ing and important questions before the convention was that of municipal own ership of public utilities. The concensus of opinion was in favor of the munici pality owning and controlling all of those franchises the value of which de pends upon the use of the public streets. The greatest objection to municipal ownership was, in the opinion of many, the fact that city councils change so often that there can be no conservative policy carried out in connection with plants owned by the municipality. With nothing but the highest regard for the work carried out by our own city councils In the past, it seems to me that this is a'more or less valid objec tion. I am sure that the present mem bers of the water works and lighting committee will agree they can do bet ter work for the city at present than when they first became members of the council, but with the ever changing membership of our council no member can remain on the water works com mittee long enough to secure the best results. To remedy this defect in our present system I would recommend that this council take the necessary ac tion toward securing changes in the state law that will enable us to place our water works and lighting plants under the absolute control of a water and light commission. In my judgment this commission should consist of three members, with a small yearly salary, the members to be elected by the city council and hold office for six years, the term of one member expiring every two years, Ry all means this com mission should be elected by the city council, and the result will undoubt edly be the election of men better fitted to hold the" position. I believe that a change of this kind must result in great good to our municipal plants. "In the question as to whether public work can be done better by contract or by day labor a great deal of interest was manifested and a majority of the delegates were of the opinion that municipalities should be allowed to do public work by day-labor, for the rea son that it would be better done at less expense to the taxpayer, and if there was any profit it would go to the tax payers. As you well know, all work done in this state must be done by con tract. Without doubt cities should have a limited right at least to do their own work. As a measure to try the ad vantages of day labor I would suggest that municipalities be allowed to do all public work where the cost does not exceed a sum equal to the amount raised by a tax levy of one mill on the dollar of the assessed valuation. This would allow the city of 'Marshalltown to do all work by day labor where the cost does not exceed $1,500. "I believe that the responsibilities of the city's policies should be central ized in the city council, and with this in view I believe the law should be changed so as to allow the city council to elect both the city solicitor and city assessor. The city solicitor Is simply .the attorney of the city council, and they should be allowed to name their own attorney. The city nsscssor should not be under obligations to any voter or clique in the city for his election, but should feel secure In his office so long as he does his duty. The council has the right to review any or all of the work of the assessor, and as his work is under their control absolutely, the council should certainly have the se lection of the assessor. This change would secure a man his position so long as tie performs his full duty to the city. "If the council approves of these suggestions it would be good policy to take some action In regard to the same and have the facts presented to the League of Iowa Municipalities, which meets in Des Moines this week. I believe that -we should advocate tftese Changes 'before the state legisla ture this winter, and if these ideas are enacted into law it will result in great good to our city. "Almost all the cities represented at the convention expended large sums of money for the disposal of garbage and refuse, and our city should take some action in this matter at an early date. Not less than $1,500 should be expended each year to care for the garbage. If we could secure a law providing for the formation of garbage districts, in which the streets and alleys could be kept clean, and be allowed to tax the cost against the property benefited, it would be a great Improvement. The cost of the, work to "the property owner would be light and great good would result in cleaner streets and alleys and better health to the cltUens. "We should also be allowed to pro vide for sprinkling districts, the street '. ." 1 ..-' •. _•••••.. §f»s2®i the actual post taxed to the property benefited. "If a law can be passed glylng cities owning water works and different pub lic utilities the right to mortgage these plants for a limited amount, Issuing mortgage notes in lieu of bonds and not have this liability considered as in debtedness under the provisions of the state constitution, such a law should be advocated. Marshalltown, jvith two or three hundred thousand dollars of as sets cannot incur a larger per cent of debt than a city without a penny of assets. ThlB is unjust and works a hardship upon cities situated as we are. "These are a few of the ideas that I received at the late convention and I trust that you will seriously consider these suggestions and then take such action as you may deem best. Res pectfully submitted, "P. G. PIRRCE, Mayor." The council considered the various recommendntions one at a time, and all were endorsed except that In relation to mortgaging the city water and lighting plants. The mayor, with such council men as attend, was instructed to draw up his recommendations and present them to the League of Iowa Municipali ties, in session this week at Des Moines, for such action as the league desires to take. Mr. Kreutzer was the only mem ber of the council who did not fully en dorse the board of public works plan, it is probable that the league will se cure favorable action on the part of the legislature and that the system will be adopted here. A PAVING DECISION. City Solicitor Evans reported to the council that he had secured an opinion from Judge Caswell in regard to the Wallin paving case, in which the as sessments are sought to be set aside. The judge has ruled in favor of the city on one of the two points raised. Mr. Wallin objected to the Pirst street as sessment on the grounds that the Iowa paving law was Illegal, but Judge Cas well holds that the state supreme court has upheld the law in several different decisions. A lengthy petition was presented by Councilman Kretuzer in behalf of Mury A. Powell, protesting against the as sessment of the tax for paving Fifth avenue in front of her property. Mrs Powell's protest was not because she is unuble to pay assessments, but is based on recent court decisions and she claims the tax is unjust and greatly ex ceeds the benefits that would accrue. The protest was simply placed on file. TO''Buy A PUMP. Mr. Benson, of the water committee, informed the council that the glucose company would need the pump now in use on the new water extension on the 20th of th month, and the city was therefore under the necessity of secur ing a new pump or else turuning the .river water Into the hydrants. He asked authority to either rent or pur chase a pump, and as the sentiment of the council was in favor of purchasing, as the most economical plan, the com mittee was instructed to buy a pump at a price not to exceed $500. It is ex pected that a pump of 1.500,000 gallons' capacity can be furnished for a le.«s sum. ilr. Benson, in this conection. re ported the supply of water in the big well as increasing, and that the city was using no water from the river at the present time. Mr. Benson also reported that Engi neer Hill's report on the water exten sion had been received, but that there were a few points in it which the com mittee, did rot understand and Mr. Hill had been asked for further light. Until an additional report has been received he said the committee did not care to submit It. TO ENLARGE CITY JAIL. Mr. McGuire. of tlif buildings and grounds committee, reported that bids had been received for the enlarging of the South Third avenue police station, and recommended that the work b. done. Mr. Good opposed doing any thing at present, on account of the condition of the city funds, remark ing that the money would better be ex pended on securing a better sewer out let for the glucose works and the south east portion of the city. Considerable discussion ensued, in which the unsani tary condition of the police station and the necessity for more room were dwelt upon by a majority of the council. Finally the buildings and grounds com mittee and fire and police committee were Instructed to have the building en larged at an expense not to exceed $350. OFFICER Kl'ltZ'S SUSPENSION. Mr. Fisher, of the fire and police com mittee, reported that an investigation of Officer Kurz's action in pounding a drunken man with a club, for which he was suspended from the force, had been made and the committee recommended that Mr. Kurz be reinstated. The Fourth ward councilmen, Messrs. Kreutzer and McGuire, opposed the re instatement, claiming the people In the depot district did not want him on the force. Finally the matter was referred to the committee of the whole for fur ther investigation. Plats of the Electric and Hughes ad ditions were again presented, but were unsatisfactory and were referred for amendments. A petition from the fire police was re ceived asking that James Flynn be ap pointed to the fire force of officers, in place of E. Phay, resigned. The ap pointment was made. Reports were received from Treasurer Goodale and City Solicitor Evans, the latter making recommendations re garding the handling of warrants. The council adjourned to meet in one week, at which time bids will be re ceived for supplying the city with coal. BOUGHT A COAL YARD. Hampton in the Coal Iiros. Knttajo 11 uslnosB.

Horses Nearly Dead From Ranger and Thirst—Had Been Without Food Several Days. Had Eaten in I wo the Tree to Which They Were Hitched, and a Por tion of the Harness. Word was sent to the city Monday evening to the effect that a team of horses hitched to a double seated buggy had been found in the woods east of town. City Marshal Jones and Consta ble Nicholson went out at once to in vestigate, and found that the rig was the one stolen at Whitten by burglars last Wednesday night. The team'was found about a half mile east of the Nicholson's ford bridge, where it had evidently been abandoned. The horses had b'-en hitched to a tree at a point away from the road and in the heavy timber. A farmer who was out looking for his cattle ran across the team Monday evening. One of the horses was "down and was unable to rise, and both were almost dead from thirst and hunger. They were given immediate attention and after small amounts of water h&d been given them at stated intervals both appeared to feel much better. It is probable that the horses had been hitched In the woods and had been without food and water since last Thursday some time, or for a period of four days and nights. Last Wednesday night the store of M. L. Barnes, at Whitten. was broken into and the safe was blown open, but the burglars se cured only a small amount of plunder, presumably being frightened away be fore finishing their work.

No cause is assigned for the change and there were few, If any, who were aware of the change until it had been made and Mr. Buckley had been ordered here by the Great Western officials. It is understood Mr. Buckley will remove his family to the city at once. What work Mr. Donald has in view is not known.

Mr. Foster reports that T. T.

Mr. Foster says that Ed Vail Is getting the best treatment possible, and that he haB the beat of doctors.
