Iowa Falls, Aug. 14.-Somewhat OF a
sensation was sprung here last eve
ming. when the city council, in special
session. sat down hard on the carnival
project. The action was so prompt
and unexpected that the projectors OF
the enterprise hardly knew where
they were at. Several days ago a rep
resentative of the National Carnival
Co. came to Iowa Falls and sought
to interest the business men in a har-
vest home festival, to be held the last
of this month. A large number Of bus
mess men signed an agreement to sup
port the enterprise, other than in a
financial way, the carnival company
agreeing to turn over ten per cent of
the profits to the Commercial club. A
contract was signed last evening con-
dftional on the city granting the use
of the streets in the business part of
the city. When such petition came
before the council, it was promptly re-
fused by a vote Of four to one. there
being vacancy on the council Of two
members absent. The project will now
probably be abandoned.
