NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS,
Believed to Mean Another Missouri River
Street Car Bridge.
FIVE CENT FARES PARTIALLY IN SIGHT.
City Council viii Consider the Sub
Ject of Granting n Charter to
the Transit Company Nom
day Evening.

A council meeting will be held next Mon
day evening, at which another effort will be
made to come to some agreement with refer
ence to the ordinance granting a charter to the
Council Bluffs Transit company. For the
last three weeks this ordinance has been hang
ing lire, and during that time IL has been
amended to such an extent that the original
ordince would not be recognized in 1T. A
gentleman who Is well posted in the af-
fairs of the company, although not a stock
holder, states that he is satisfied that inside
of another year n second motor line will be
operating between Council Bluffs and
Omaha, and that the company will be the
one which has been recently organized and IS
now trying TO work its way to the front.
The company was formed for the purpose,
primarily, of building a lire to the Chau-
tauqua grounds, but the ideas of
its promoters have since grown until
they expec to work Il rev
olution in street railway matters. The
entire list of stockholders is not now
known, as tho company has not been
incorporated and is doing its work as
quietly as possible. 1t is known, however,
that a number of we'll known aud wealthy
citizens of this city and of Omaha have been
approached by the members and induced to
subscribe for shares of stock, and the work
is progressing rapidly.
AS the ordinance now under consideration
has a clause providing for a > cent fure be-
tween the two cities, the prospects are that
If the company's affairs pan out as now APP
pears probable, the long deferred > cent fare
will become a reality.
