In Soldiers Reunion.

1.-THE feeling in re gard to this grand
project throughout the State may be de- |
termined by that shown in this locality, |
which is undoubtedly the case, the day |
that shall be named for its occurrence
will witness the assembling of every
man who has worn the blue as repre-
sentative of Iowa, almost without ex-
ceptiOn; and will result in the happiest
and most enthusiastic meeting, the
grandest events aad altogether, the
most magnificent and imposing pageant
which Iowa has ever seen, or will see
for years to come.
The arrangements are being con-
summated under the most favorable
auspices. The railroads have agreed to
transport privates both TO and from the
Capitol free of charge, and officers for
half fare; the General Assembly has
appropriated $1,000 towards defraying
the expenses; and the people Of Des
M0ines have cheerfully promised to do
all in their power by way Of assistance.
Every thing is propitious, and the event
can not fail to be grand aud memorable
success.
Nothing is as yet known to
the public sayein general sort of away,
and much anxiety is manifested to
know the specific date, and the partic
ulaIs OF organization, rendezvous, &c.
The Editor Of 4he Iowa Tribune has
recently interviewed" Gen. BAKER,
in whose administrative ability every
one will have full confidence to bring
order out of almost any chaos, and found
that the Reunion is Assuming such
proportions As to almost staftle its pro-
geutors. General Is. estimates that at
least twenty thousand ex-soldiers will
be present. The plan of railroad passes
will soon be determined upon, aud full
information regarding it made known.
It Is designed to have the organiza-
tions made up ut Des Moines. The
Tribune adds. upon the same authority,
that "old organizations will be kept in
variably, and In al respects the brigades
aud divisions will be organized ~ far as
possible, In . similar way 70 the old
Army corps. The soldiers will, howev-
~. come to the city, when aud how
they choose, 20 be 1t, they are in time.
We are sorry that no provisions can be
made for soldiers from other States, now
Eeside0t in Iowa, to participate in the
affair, but owing TO the fact that the
facilities Of the city and railroads will be
taxed to the utmost to provide for Iowa
soldiers, 1t Is deemed impossible. They
can, of course, attend as very many who
have never been soldiers will do, to
witness one Of the most pleasant and
memorable gatherings Of the kind ever
sheld.

4 New Capitol Building

For the State Of Iowa may now be spc-
ken Of - something that IL to be. Az
ter having had the suh1Dct under
consideration since early In the session,
the House. on Friday last, passed the
Capitol bill by . small majority, and
this completed the Legislative action
neoesary to the Inauguration OF this
much needed Improvement. We say
maeh needed because we believe that
ths State Of Iowa does need . new
Capitol, And that the necessity will In.
cstass every year, and will become quite

~ ssesssary action has been taken BY

0sassss, and indeed, tho people Of the
6eAes can but notice with satisfaction
the eass which has been taken by our
Legislators that the entire work shall
b done honestly and economically, and |
thst the payment Of the expense incur
~ shall make necessary no increased
ssvsoses, and, Of course, cause no un-
usual and burdensomo taxation. These
things were intended to be aud doubtless
ore insured by the provisions Of the
bill; and when few years shall have
carried them into complete effect, and
lows has such Capitol building as she
deserves, needs and can well afford, we
imagine there wilt be few Of her citizens
who will have word other than Of !

DEPARTMENT OF IMPR0vsNRNTs,

Hon. 3. r. Flanders, Mayor:
SIR-The customary monthly report Of
this department is herewith submitted. 1t
is scarcely necessary to state to you that it
speaks little of permanent improvements,
but it presents certain information and
views to the public that should command
their attention.
STREETS.
Throughout the month the want of rain
was seriously felt, rendering it difficult to
keep the streets clean, besides causing suf
fering in many portions of the city. Water
was to limited extent supplied by the fire
boat Tyler and by the engines of the Fire
Department pumping from the river, and
The relief was no doubt very grateful The
numberless repairs to tenements have lit
tered the streets great deal, and there is
noticeable growing carelessncss with res
pect to throwing rubbish outdoors, instead

W. H. BELL, City Surveyor.

SO far az Won are we'll aware. the Council
has not seriously considered the question of
street improvements. acting upon the rule
that if would be premature to TO 81 until
resources were available for the purpose.
As If may be deemed equitable aud judi
ciOus to ask for a change IL our present
charter at the hands of the Legislature, TO
be convened this winter. the attention of
taxpayers is called to the contrast between
the old method Of street assessments and
the provisions under which they would be
levied at present. 1t has been customary,
heretofore, when a street was paved, for
the owners Of the property on the line
thereof to pay either for the whole or for q
portion of the cost.
Under the present charter. If street i
to be paved, the cost is to be assessed upon
nN the property of the city. As a conse-
quence. property owners who have once
paid for paving their streets are low 10 be
called upon to pay equally for new pave
ments in front of property that has not
contributed i'll like measure for streets
already paved. Another objection occurs
to me, that the general revenues OF the city,
present and prospective, are not 70 he relied
upon rs adequate to pay for the improve
ments that are needed. Those improve
ments will require TO beyfade according to
the wjSAessr.~'-.,nn OF the partles most
ers on the particular street or streets to
be paved. For without such assistance. the
present large Indebtedness Of the city is an
almost insuperablc bar to the undertaking
Of any extended system Of improvements.
To prevent the general interests Of the pub
lie from being retarded by particular prop
erty owners authority might be given to
the Council to make improvements, when III
their opinion such should become neces-
sary.
Another Objectionable feature, in my
opinion, is embraced in the regulations for
sidewalks--the whole city may be incOn-
venienccd by the Obdurate owner Of fifty
one -hundrcdths Of any particular piece
of property Directing to the laying Of a side
walk. 1t would seem that the greatest
good for the greatest number would he pro-
NOTED by comforting upon the Council
power to compel the LAYING OF sidewalks,
upon the petition OF citizens nj large setting
| forth their necessity, while the various
grades and Indifferent materials Of BAN
| quotes ia the thiclIly settled portions Of the
city point 20 the necessity for an authority
! to regulate and improve them, which does
! not now exist.
These suggestions are presented for your
| consideration and for that OF the taxpayers
OF the city, pending the opportunity that
| Will soon be offered for relief, in case they
should meet the views OF the public.
| WHARvES AND LANDINGS.
The work upon the wharves, though. pro
gressiu" fayorably, has been somewhat re
tarded by an interruption in the supply OF
timber, yet the contractors are fully up to
their engagements, with prospect of their
being completed within the specified time

With the execution Of the work upon St.
Charles avenue no improvements are to DO
reported. The general outlay upon the
streets, both in the way Of cleaning and
repairs, has been applied with q view to the
necessities Of each case. As some feeling
was manifested by the citizens Of the Third
District, under misconception of neglect,
submit the following statement Of expen-
ditures on streets and bridges during the
past month:

seems to be based on alleged unequal
division Of Offices, both State and Ma

male assistant State Superintendent of

Also that colored teachers should be
given the preference for colored schcols.
Also that colored children should have
