Engineering Feat Of Northwestern.

~ Z :
Boone, Ia, Oct. 2S.-The. Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad company
has under construction what will be,
when completed, the highest double
track steel trestle in existence. The
bridge spans the Des Moines river at q
point about five miles west of Boone.
The river there runs between very high
and precipitous bluffs, which at the
time the road was first built were con.
sidered impossible obstacles. The So
luton of the problem seems to have
been reached in the plan to erect an
enormous bridge, which will span the
stream from the top of the bluffs, cut
ting off long curves, removing the diff.
cult hill and shortening the distance
nearly four miles.

READY TO FIX
WATER RATES
Old Schedule Will
Probably Stand.

DECIDED REDUCTION.
Water Committee Allows Itself Only
One Hour in Which to Pre-
pare Report to the
Board.
LACKMANN MAKES A PROTEST
BYINGToN ALSO STANDS FOR A
DECIDED REDUCTION.

The Water Committee of the Board of
Supervisors will meet at $50 o'clock this
morning to prepare a schedule of rates
for the present year. An hour later the
board will meet in committee of the whole
to receive the report of the Water Com
mittee. The investigation into the values
of the Spring Valley plant in actual use
closed last Wednesday evening. The
board having gone over the same ground
covered a year ago and obtaining nothing
new, the report of the previous inVestiga-
ton was reintroduced into the record.
This was done to save expense of print
ing new report The figures presented
to the Supervisors by the water company
are practically the same as those or last
year.
On Friday Chairman Phelps sent a no
tice to MesSrs. Lackmann, Black, Angel
finger, Kalben and Attridge, the Water
Committee, that meeting would be held
Saturday at p. m. to consider the report:
Mr.. Lackmann went to the City Hall and
waited half an hour for his confreres, but
none appeared. Mr.. Phelps telephoned
Mr.. Lackmann that there would be no
meeting of the committee until $3.50 o'clock
this morning, but gave no reason for the
change. AS this arrangement gives the
committee but one hour to prepare re-
port on the vexing water question, 1t is
presumed that the committee intends to
readopt the schedule of year ago, which
Is based on the statements furnished by
the water company. The board was re-
quested by the representatives of the
company to adopt this plan.
If the majority of the committee de-
cides to follow this course Supervisor
Lackmann will present minority report,
which will recommend a radical reduction
in water rates. Supervisor Byington has
been collaborating with Mr.. Lackmann
on this report. These gentlemen are not
satisfied with the statement furnished by
the Spring Valley Company. The Bying-
ton-Lackmann schedule will, If adopted,
reduce the fixed rates 10 per cent and the
meter rates Is per cent.
The minority report will knock 1872 900
from the operating expenses of the COM
pany $4,000 from the item of dividends;
SIG 600 from the floating debt (Which these
two Supervisors say should not EXIST and
$4,000 from taxes. The capital stock is also
reduced, the Supervisors claiming the
company has watered stock for the pur-
pose of mulcting the rate-payers.
