Council Bluffs, Sept. LIST, 1897.
EDS. PUBLIC OPINION:
We arrived i'm Council Bluffs from
DEBORAH August 18th, and thinking the
many readers of your paper would like
a short description of this city / will
give short one. Council Bluffs is q
beautiful little city and has popula-
ton Of 5000. Part of it lies on fiat
beyond which are the bottom lands of
the river; the rest of the town being
built on the bluffs, covered with foliage
It's abrupt hills have made precipitus
and irregular streets; some of them turn
like a creek between high terraces.
The slopes of the hills are covered with
vineyards and many OF them present
clay banks which the owners have
graded through to make way for streets;
homes stand in these lovely valleys,
and every street in the city is shaded by
beautiful trees. The streets are all
paved with brick and the city is lighted
feet high, besides innumerable arc
lights. There are II churches and Is
schools, one of these buildings having
the capacity for 900 children, who are
drilled so that in case of fire they can
leave the house in five minutes There
is an orphan home here which has
over 200 children; the home covers over
block, with many cottages and a
chapel near. The water works system
is perfect; the pumping station is stu
ated near the river and from there the
water is carried some two and a half
miles to one of the highest bluffs, where
the reservoir covers over an acre of
ground and is 35 or 40 feet deep. There
are also two parks, Bayless, which was
given to the town by one man, and be-
ing situated right in town makes it a
very pleasant place to sit in, as there
are plenty of seats and beautiful
fountain. Paramount is two miles out
which is reached by going on the street
cars; the park includes so acres with
large pavilion, band stands, swings
Of all kinds, cages of birds and animals
flowers and fountains, walks and drives
Lake Manawa is another pleasure re-
sort which is four miles out of town
we attended an entertainment there
Aug. 3lst. 1t was very pleasant trip
There are quite number of boats on
the lake, one very large; also amuse
ment of all kinds and grand music
the large pavilion seats many hundred
The lake is two miles long, one and 8
quarter wide and 80 feet deep. This
city is well supplied with fire depart
ments, equipped with the latest i'm
provements. We visited one, and be
ing personally acquainted with the
captain of that house, will give a few
items; one of the largest trucks is 3;
feet from hub to hub; height of ladder
p feet; fully extended IS feet; weight
of truck 1900 pounds. One other was
10 feet between hubs, Is feet long, 81
foot ladder; weight 5000. Weight O
hose cart with 1000 feet of hose is 500(
pounds. There are other things | could
write of but time and space will not al
low this time.
