declares that if the money lost in buying
and selling gram had been put into
buildings it would have helped the town
more. 1t is doubtless so, and il is no
less true that if the money lost in trying
to meet "the long felt want for an even
ing paper in Council Bluffs had been

who have money will invest it to suit
their own Judgment, and will not submit

Alderman Shugart has discovered
what he deems a serious matter in the
council proceedings. The notices of
special assessments have been published
without the signature of the mayor
Some of the notices had to be given
when the city was without n mayor, and
others when the mayor was away. The
notices We're ordered given by unani-
nous vote of the council, on call of
yeas and nays, and were duly signed by
the city clerk and the city engineer If
the absence of the mayors signature is
a defect, then the whole proceedings will
have to be gone through with agam,

many that there is any real defect in the
notices.

that he was not competent person to
sign as witness vouching for the girls
nge. The law requires that some "disin-
terested" witness shall make this show
ing ms to the age of parties desiring tho
license to we'd. The barring out of inter
csted parties makes it illegal tor the
spoony young man TO vouch for the age
of the chosen girl 1t is often done, but
the law declares that it must be n disin-
tercsted witness. 1t Is supposed that
where young fellow doesn't care
whether he marrics the girl or not, he
could serve rs the needed witness in
getting license, but few such cases
arise.
