Mayor Pierce Casts His Vote With
the ayes on the Harris Light
ing Ordinance
Declares the Ordinance Passed and
the Title Agreed to- Cheaper
Lights In Sight.
New Base Rate is Is Cents Intead
Of l8-Report Of Special Sew
age Committee.

The Harris ordinance on electric light
rates was on Thursday night declared
passed by Mayor Pierce and the title
agreed to after his honor had an
nounced that he cast his vote with the
ayes, or in favor of the ordinance,
which was necessitated by the tie vote
on the 14th inst.
All Of the council were present at the
cepting Mr.. Benson, OF the Second
members We're apparently not at all
surprised over the mayors decision.
and no comment resulted. 1t will be
remembered that when the ordinance
came up for its third and last reading
on the 14th q tie vote resulted and the
mayor took his deciding vote under adj
3visement. more on account of the fact
that he was not exactly sure whether
or not he was entitled to vote on the
question.
The ordinance is very sweeping in its
reductions on electric lighting and ac-
gcording to its different sections the
base rate in effect after it's official pub
LEGATION will be 10 cents instead Of 10,
with 1-cent reduction from that pro-
viding bills are paid on or before the
10th Of each month following consump-
ton. This 1-cent reduction applies to
all, and other reductions are stated as
follows:
On bills Of 10000 watt hours, 1 cent
per 1000 watt hours.
On bills of $4,000 watt hours and
over, 2 cents per 1000 watt hours.
On bills Of $4,000 watt hours and over,
21s cents per 1000 watt hours.
The meter rates are also reduced by
the new ordinance, the minimum rate
hereafter charged being IS cents, as
against 30 cents. charged at present.
SPECIAL SEWER COMMITTEE RE-

Mayor Pierce reported for the spe-
cial sewer committee and read a blank
form of proposals for contractors wish
ing TO bid on the work of putting in
Marshalltown's sewage disposal plant,
the contract for which is to be let July
30. The proposition calls for plant
that will dispose of 100000 gallons Of
sewage every twenty four hours. Each
bid Is to be accompanied by certified
check for $4,000. which the city will re-
tain as the amount of damages pro-

MR.. MORsE's CONNECTION.
One OF the most gratifying details
about the reorganization to MARSHALL
town people and to all friends of the
Central is that while the property has
passed almost completely into the con-
troll Of new parties 1t has been thought
best to retain Mr.. George r. Morse, of
the retiring management, in the re-
sponsible position OF treasurer Of the
e. L.,
Marshalltown and along the line than
any OF the New York owners and has
always won friends for his property by
his frankness Of manner. keen business
ways and charming personality. BY his
frequent visits to this city he has
gained a knowledge of Iowa Central az
fairs which has made him of great val
ue on Its board of directors. Mr..
Morse's friends in this city are host
and while 1t Is not known whether his
other business interests would permit
of it or not it has always been their
hope that some day Mr.. Morse would
be induced to become a permanent resi-
dent Of Marshalltown.

we.think that with proper handling the
road can be made more valuable than
ever. The policy OF the new manage
ment win be simple, and will consist OF
the effort to run the road diligently,
for the benefit Of the property and the
country which 1t traverses. The
NJ. & st. L. and the Iowa Central have
enjoyed friendly relations for some
time, and so far as their future inter-
Eests are mutual they will be operated
mutually. If, however, there should be
a conflict of interests each property will

PLANS NOT YET MADE.
No plans have as vet been made for
the disposition os any OF the stationary
interests of the road, and so far as
know the general offices and shops will
still remain in Marshalltown. No
change is contemplated in the person

management OF the road will be under
my direction but whether or not shall

The paving Of city scale approaches

ALLOW ALL BILLS.
The council decided shortly before
adjournment to allow all bills con-
tracted during the recent smallpox
scare as pertained to the erection OF the
emergency hospital. This followed a
motion to allow the bill of Contractor
Nissea for building the hospital. City
Clerk Trotter called the councils at

Miss ShontZ Gives ansAddress for tho
Z. II. q. r. 1.-THE Voters Pledge.
An audience which could be classed
as neither large or small was present
Thursday night in the NJ. L. church
when Miss Eva Marshall Shontz made.
an address for the z. r. G. Il. u, of
whose work she has charge. Miss
lShontz has been called the successor OF
Miss Willard, the highest enconiuml
which the white ribboners" can pro-
nounce. Her zeal and energy can not.
be surpassed and the untiring work
which she has given to the temperance
cause explains the regard in which she
{ Is held. She Is in no sense an orator,
but she has a happy faculty when she
speaks. OF never faltering for either
thought or word. A chorus choir un-
der the direction of Mrs. j. G. Van
Ness sang. and Rev. w. H. Scott Of
fered the invocation, after which Mr..
Walter Benton, president of the Y. p.
G. T. u, introduced Miss Shontz. Her
speech dealt almost entirely with the
political side of the temperance ques-.
ton, as Miss shontz believes in the ag-
gressive mode and feels that the war
must be carried into the enemy's coun-
the politics Of the land are controlled
by the liquor traffic. her standpoint is
logical. The republican platform just
issued from Philadelphia was scored
for the sin Of omission in failing to
mention the temperance work, and
cowardice on the part OF Mckinley was
imputed as the only reason he did not
take a Arm stand against what he
knows to be wrong and against which
he talked before the desire to be great
in politics made his ambition supreme.
But IL the democrats leaned back and
enjoyed the uncomplimentary remarks
which the republicans were receiving,
their enjoyment was short lived, for
respects were paid to them thru their
mayor of Chicago, Carter H. Harrison.
The plan OF the Y. p. c. T. U. is to
have 100000 voters take the pledge to
support that party only which will in
sert in its platform declaration
against the saloon. II none of the par
ties will do this, a convention OF those
who have signed the pledge is to be
called and resolution made to throw
their strength to the old prohibition
party or organize party Of their own.
There has been an organization here
since Miss Shontz's visit last fall and
| the young people met after the lecture
| to discuss plans Of work.
