WHO'S COT The SACNg
Official Inquiry to Be Conducted
BY the Council Relative
to Cement Sacks.
Sewage COMMITTEE D esn't Seem
to Know Whether Contents
We're Used or Not.
Fifth Ward Ordinance Up Again
...Aid Voted the Tourna.
ment Committee.

The city council has ordered special
sitting as court of inquiry to investi-
gate the whereabouts OF something like
223 sacks. Whether the missing sacks
are mere canvas rags worth 10 cents
each or whether the sacks contained ce-
ment to the value of $1.25 each is not
shown by the committee report on the
matter, but the report infers that there
may be something rotten in Sweden, al
tho Gust Wahlberg smiled when the re-
port was submitted to the council Mon
day night at an adjourned meeting.
The report, made by Chairman Nc
CURE, of the special sewage committee,
was apparently a whack at Mr.. VAIL
berg, the temporarily deposed superin-G
tendent of cement work at the sewage
disposal plant. 1t was written docu-
ment and recited shortage in the
number of returned sacks which should
be accounted for, and demanded that
those conencted with the work should
be called upon to explain, as they We're
the only ones who had access to the ma
terial and guard was employed dur
ing the night hours. Mr.. Mcclure asked
and recommended that complete in
vestigation be made and the blame
placed where it belonged, and that the
city solicitor be invited to cooperate
In the investigation. A meeting was
arranged for Friday evening, when all
those who had anything to do with the
handling of the cement will De sum-
moned to appear. Contractor j. c.
Dunn, who stored the cement during
last winter, says he Is on Easy street.
as he has receipts for the full amount
of the cement delivered. Wahlberg says
the cement was all used, as can be
shown, and the investigation will prob.
ably narrow down to matter of thu
whereabouts of 223 empty sacks, of 1;
total value of s22.30
Mr.. MCGUIRE presented for its second
reading the ordinance creating a fifth
ward by subtracting from the Thirt
and Fourth wards all that territory
south of the Chicago & Northwestern
right of way. AS no action had been
taken further than the reading of the
ordinance it would have peen beyond
amendment at the next meeting, and as
| two members were absent there was 6
desire to hold 1t on its second reading
until the next regular meeting, which
4 was ordered done by a vote Of four to
two. This vote Indicates there will be
some opposition to the adoption OF the
ordinance and that perhaps 1t may
fail. q

the water works during the coming year
were received. These were from the
came firms bidding last week and at the!
same figures, and DR.. Harris wanted
them both rejected again, claiming they
were higher than a private bid secured
same time ago. After considerable par
leying motion to accept the lowest bid
was lost by vote of four for and two
against, the mayor ruling that ma
jority vote of the entire council was re-
CURED. A motion TO reject all bids,
however, was lost by the same vote and
further consideration was postponed
until Friday night, when 1t is expected
that Messrs. Fisher and Henry, who
were absent Monday night, will be pres
ent at the meeting of the council as a
committee of the whole.
Bids were also received for supplying
$50 barrels of cement for the sewage dis
posal plant. The contest narrowed to
between ]. c. Dunn and c. A. Buch-
valid, and a recess was taken to do some
figuring. The contract was finally
awarded to C. A Buchwald, who repre-
Isents cement firm for which ex- Mayor
Pierce is state agent.
Mr.. Kirby, of the fire committee, pre-,
sented a resolution appropriating $500 to
the city department for tournament
purposes and 500 In addition for the
running team. Mr.. Kreutzer wanted the
sum made $500 even. MIR. C. Al. Buch.
valid, of the tournament committee, was
present and explained the necessity of
securing the full appropriation, because
the committee was confronted with a
hard proposition. The privilege receipts
had been cut down $3.50 compared with
four years ago because the committee
decided to allow no beer sold on the
grounds and the money is necessary to
make. up the balance of the guarantee
fund of $3,400 made to the state associa-
ton. Ex-Mayor Pierce also appeared
before the council to argue for the APP
preparation. Mr.. Kreutzer withdrew his
objections and the entire sum requested
was voted. In the game connection Mr..
Mcclure offered resolution allowing
the association the privilege of collect
ing all license money from street fakirs
and others during the week, and this
was also agreed to.
An amendment to the ordinance au-
thorizing permanent sidewalks under
the seven-year plan was read for the
second time and will be adopted. The
amendment is one prepared by Solicitor
Van Law with the object Of simplifying
and lessening the cost to the city, and
also to place the responsibility for the
work between the contractor and the
property owner. and not on the city.

FORGERY Is CHARGED.
Seventeen.year.o odd Boy Attempts
to Pass q Forged Check
for $50.

the Matter Will Probably

Tama Sheriff Arrests Marshall
County Farmer for Fors-
ing Two Notes.

Frank Hambart, 17-year-old boy
from State Center, attempted to pass a
forged check Monday evening and as a
result was arrested by the police. Ham
bart, shortly after O'Clock, entered the
ljewelry store of Will Wallace and ne
gotiated the purchase of watch for
S$15. In payment he rendered the propri-
.etor check for 500 drawn on the State
Center bank, signed by j. b. Johnson,
and made payable to ~. F. Jones'" Mr..
Wallace was suspicious OF the boys ac-
tions, and as an excuse said he would
have TO go to the bank to secure
change. He went to the Marshalltown
bank and Mr.. Balch telephoned the
State Center bank with, the re-
suit that he was informed thas
the check was a forgery. Young
Hambart was waiting patiently
but was Informed that he could not
have the goods. The police were
sought and watch was kept of Ham
bart, and few moments later he was
arrested at a clothing store where he
purchased a shirt. The boy was placed
in Jail and his father at State Center
was notified. The senior Hambart came
to the city this morning and at once
commenced an effort to settle the mat
ter and secure the release of his son.
He says the boy left home twelve days
ago and for few days worked for a
neighboring farmer but since thai time
his whereabouts have beeen unknown.
Young Hambart did not seem to appre-
ciate the seriousness of his offense and
did not seem to bear his father much
affection. Mayor Jones. because of the
boys age, referred the case to County
Attorney Stone to do as he thought
best. A final decision was delayed un-
til the desires of the State Center bank
people could be obtained
