Executive officer Paul Sets His Men
to Work.
The granting of the Iowa Construction
companys Indian creek ordinance by the
city council at the Monday night meeting
put John w. Paul into the best of humor
yesterday, and he was induced to show his
hand and reveal his intentions a little bit
more than was expected. Said he last even
ing: "Our engineers and abstractors have
really begun work, for they are making
preparations today for beginning the work
of running the lines along the creek and
ascertaining the wishes of the property own
ers. They will all be at work here in few
days. The right of way men will also be
at work in a short time, comforting with
the property owners along the creek and
wherever else the surveys may locate the
lines of the proposed tracks. People will
see in a short time that there is some>
thing behind all that has been done and
that the Iowa Construction company is very
far from being a myth
Paul's second ordinance, introduced at
the last meeting of the council, asks only
for the privilege of crossing several streets
and Broadway near Ninth street. 1t is in
the hands of the committee and will likely
be passed at the next meeting. 1t reads
as follows
