FRANCHISE COVERS IT all
Omaha Bridge and Terminal Railway Has an
Expansive Charter.
CITY HAS NO JURISDICTION OVER IT
Company May Construct It's Tracks
Anywhere It Likes In Order to
Reach Its Own Property-Pretty
. Well Provided Already.

The city o~flcials have decided that the
franchise granted the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal Railway company gives II author
iy to build switches and lay spurs from its
main track to any property that 1t WINS
without first securing permission OF the city
to do so. A point in instance arose a couple
OF days ago when the Terminal company
proceeded to lay a spur from It's main linz
on Union avenue through the triangle piece
OF ground at Ninth street and First avenue.
The company had q force Of men at work
laying the rails and had the work about half
completed when 1t was notified to stop by
City Engineer Etnyre and Alderman Casper.
The reason given for the order to stop the
work was that the company had not secured
permission from the city. e. H. Odell, the
company's agent in this city, explained that
his company had authority under its fran.
chise, but consented although at a great in
convenience to postpone the completion OF
the work until the city council Investigated
the matter. The matter was brought up at
the meeting Of the council Thursday night
and referred to the committee Of the whole.
Yesterday the committee proceeded in a
body to the place and Investigated. Mr..
Odell proved to the aldermen's satisfaction
that his company owned the property to
which the spur was laid and that 1t had
been purchased but a few days previously
from the Union Pacific Railway company.
Further Mr.. Odell produced a copy OF the
franchise which contained a provision giving
the company the right to run a spur from
Its main line to any property 1t may pur-
chase or in future own. With this staring
them In the face the committee was COM
PEELED to give Mr.. Odell permission to 20
on with the work.
Some Of the aldermen were much sur
prised to learn that such q clause was con.
tanned In the franchise as It practically
gives the Terminal company an unlimited
right Of way anywhere and everywhere in
.he city, provided 1t buys enough property.
The Terminal company has now extended
Its lines in this city so as to connect with
all the roads entering Council Bluffs except
the Milwaukee. 1t connects with the Wabash
at Fourteenth street and Eleventh avenue:
with the Burlington at Fifteenth street and
First avenue; with the Rock Island between
Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues al
Fourteenth street; with the Union
Pacific at Union avenue, ana with
the Northwestern at Union and
First avenues. Mr.. Odell says his com.
pany is planning on still further extensions
this winter. The company Is, however. ex-
periencing a little difficulty In securing
, track layers, as most Of them are being EN-.
ployed at the Union Pacific yards laying
the tracks for the new Peavey elevator.

DR.. Keller, osteopath, Reno block.
Wallace Under Arrest.

John Wallace. who is employed by the city
to drive the street sweeper, is again in
trouble. An information charging him with
malicious mischief has been filed in JUS
tice Vien's court by Charles Burke, the col
ored scavenger. The day before election
Burke charges that Wallace cut the tugs of
the harness on his team which was stand
ing in the alley between Scott and Bryant
streets. That evening a son of Burke's met
Wallace and had a mix up with him, during
which Burke struck at Wallace with a club.
The latter put up his right arm to ward
off the blow with the result that his arm
was broken at the wrist. On this account
he was not placed under arrest until yes
terday. He furnished bail in the sum Of
5000 and will have a hearing next Saturday.

Board One Hundre Dollars.
The Board Of Education held a special
meeting last night to consider the matter
Of repairing the boiler at the Twentieth
avenue school building. From the state.
meDts OF Supervisor Fonda made to the
board 1t appeared that Nels Mikkelson. the
%janitor, was incompetent to handle a steam.
heating plant and that the boiler, which
was In perfect condition when examined by
the inspector last summer, had. on account
Of his incompetency, been damaged and tina,
1t would cost at least 800 to repair it. The
committee on fuel and heating was author
ICED TO have the necessary repairs made.
Mikkelson Is one Of the new men appointed
last summer, when all the old ~janitors were
discharged. 1t developed from his own
statements last night before the board that
his only previous experience with heating
plants had been with a Baker heater, with
which some years ago the cars on the
Union Pacific railway were heated. AL
though no action was taken last night, the
board, while in executive session. decided
that Mikkelson would have to seek some
job, as the board could not retain his serv-
ices and run the risk Of him blowing up the
boiler and possibly endangering the lives OF
the children in the building.
Chairman Spruit OF the committee on fuel
and heating reported that he had awarded
the contract to the New York Plumbing
company for supplying patent asbestos COW
ering for the steam pipes in the several
school buildings. The total will amount to
$464. 80, divided among the schools as fol-
lows: Washington avenue, 500. 6S; Twen-
tieth avenue, 1854 Eighth street, $65.s7;
Pierce street, $65. 20; Bloomer, $5O,S7; Third
street, s45.16; Second avenue, s41.60. The
covering OF the pipes Is expected to save
20 per cent in the consumption Of coal.
