OVER 400 STUDENTS
Enrolment in the High School This
Year Will Exceed That Of All Pre-
vious Neutrality-suspicious. to Care
for All Applicants.

From the information now in the
hands of Superintendent E. l.. Coffeen
and Principal E. v. Brumbaugh, the
attendance in the high school the COM
ing year will exceed that Of all previ-
Gus years by large number. More
than 400 students are at the present
time on the rolls This number exceeds
by twenty-five or thirty the maximum
number of students attending the
school last year, when all previous rec
ords were exceeded. This number will
be largely increased after the school
has been in session a few weeks, by
tuition students who/are non-residents
but who can enter at the beginning of
the term.
Superintendent Coffeen says it has
been problem to make arrangements
to care for the students who will at
tend this year, but that all plans are
now satisfactorily made with the ex
ception of providing additional seats,
which will be done. He expects some
crowding and inconvenience at the
opening, or until the new building be-
ing erected on the high school grounds
is completed. Additional study halls
will be established in this building, as
there the new manual training depart
ment will be conducted.
Examinations for entrance to the
high school We're conducted today by
Principal Brumbaugh. Ten or more
nonresident students took the exam
nations, as did several from this city
who have recently moved here. Most
of those taking the examinations are
students who never before attended the
high school.

ARE BoNiDsMEN LlABLEf
Council Proposes to Find Out a Few
Things Concerning Sidewalk Con-

tracts.
1t is proposed to find out where the
city is at in its duties and powers rel
alive to cement sidewalk contracts.
Claims of property owners because of
defective cement walks have been a
nightmare to each succeeding council
during the past few years, and much
effort has been wasted to compel con-
tractors to make good or to collect
from their bondsmen. Chairman Ise-
man, of the streets and alleys commit
tee, pleaded for counsel and advice and
instruction Monday night. The ques-
ton resolves itself into one of fact
whether or not the walks are laid ac-
cording to specifications, and also
whether or not the bondsmen can be
held liable. Heretofore walk con-
tracts have had no inspection except
that given by the city engineer where
he was ordered to take charge. The
streets and alleys committee was in
.structed to begin one test suit against
a contractor in order to determine
what powers the council has, and in
the meantime no more walks will be
constructed under city supervision UNI
til this case is decided. Councilman
Clark offered to bet Mayor Ingledue
the cigars that the city would lose
this case, but there were no takers.
But the council proposes to give prop
erty owners protection If that is pos
sible.

The proceedings of the city council
Monday night were enlivened by
tilt over the awarding of the contract
for grading Twelfth avenue between
Main and Nevada streets, incidental to
the subject being a question as TO
which possesses the most valued repu-
tation, Councilman Sieg or Councilman
Mcdonald. This question was not
settled, but the contract went to John
Herbert at price higher by more than
5000 than the figure at which the work
could be done.
Three bids had been submitted at
previous meeting and referred to the
streets and alleys committee. G. w.
LaPlant and John Herbert bid on the
work at Is cents per cubic yard and III.
C. Mack at a fiat price Of $500. Mr..
Iseman, of the streets committee, said
that since the bids had been referred
to him, he had consulted with the SUI
pervisors, who are to bear portion Of
the expense, and Superintendent jack
son, of the county bridge department
had said that he could do the work for
$780, Mr. Iseman said the committee
had so informed Mr.. LaPlant, and the
latter had agreed to take the job at Mr..
Jackson's estimate.
This report was followed by a mo-
ton from Mr. Psenicka that the con-
tract be awarded to Mr.. Herbert,
who would use teams and scrapers In
stead of graders, which would insure
better work, in his opinion Messrs.
Sieg and Clark favorede rejecting all
bios and calling for new ones, which
brought forth the declaration from MI.
Herman that Mr.. Sieg wanted to knock
out the street opening, and that 1t
looked like there was something WRONG
when a bidder submitted set of hg-
ures and then came in and offered to
do the work at lower price. Mr.. S1eg
said he had no interest in the matter
except to save money to the taxpayers,
but that it looked like some one had
an axe to grind. Mr.. Mcdonald, who
favored Mr.. Herbert, said he had no
axe and that his reputation was as
good as Mr.. Sieg's, which the latter
questioned by inferring that Mcdonald
had made his money in the drug bus
mess. Peace was finally restored ana
the contract was awarded to MI Her
bert Messrs. Iseman, Sieg and Clark
voting against. The cost of the work
under the Herbert bid will be about
SITS.

The Brownies Swamped Burlington
10 to 2 In 4 truly gorgeous finish for
the long series at home yesterday, and
by so doing broke even with the.
would-be pennant winner on the regu-
lar set and the one extra game. The
final go was gorgeous for two reasons
for the awful peltipg the Brownies
gave the stocky Mr.. Armstrong, and
for the number of bad breaks the To-
calls made. Burlington's defenses We're
also of vivid sort. The locals treated
the entire visiting crew, including
Brennan, Egan and Armstrong, with
utter disrespect. They got to the lat
ter with such telling effect, that long
before it was all over, that finger was
whipped to standstill, and his team
mates were in distress. 1t took the
Brownies just two innings to amass
their 10 tnllies, and the way they went
after them showed a determination to
pile up as many as the score board
would hold. Every member Of the To-
cal caste got in, at one time or anoth-
err on the undoing of Mr.. Armstrong,
Notable among those who got in on the
score making was Williams, who lifted
the second home run of the season
over the fence, when the bases were
full in the eighth, and none were gone.
It was the final blow that put the Wis
iting finger down and out, altho the
extra tallies thus acquired were not

City Council Thinks Better of
Its Proposal to Reduce the
Library Support Fund
THE ACTION is UNANIMOUS
institution is Given More Funds Than
Last YearMovemen to Eliminate
Outlying Territory From Certain
Municipal Taxes is Not Pushed -
All Property Within City to AS
sessed Alike.

The council has receded from its
position proposing to cut the support
fund of the public library almost in
two. Instead of reduction of the levy
to one MILL two mills have been al
lowed, which is slight increase over
the levy of last year
The question came up again Mon
day night, at an adjourned meeting of
the council, when Mr.. Young, of the
judiciary committee, presented the re-
quired resolution fixing the levy for the
various funds. The resolution was the
same as the one presented at the pre-
vious meeting, except that the library
was given two mills instead of one. M.
Sieg took the position that this would
raise more than the $4,000 per year re-
qdired by the contract with Mr.. Car
negie, and amended the resolution to
fix the levy at one and two-thirds
mills. Mr. Clark supported the amend
ment and declared that the library
seemed to be doing well. He favored
giving the reduced sum for two years,
and then increasing to two mills the
next year.
Mr.. Young said he had investigated
the question and learned that it re-
CURED $4,000 per year to pay salaries
and fuel and light bills, and that the
amendment would result in leaving
only $500 per year for incidentals and
for the purchase of books. He said that
many things were needed to make the
library thoroughly useful, one of which
is smoking room for working men.
Mayor Ingledue suggested that this
was good time to hold testimony
meeting on the subject, and the sug-
gestion was followed. Mr.. Mcdonald
said he had been informed that Mar
shalltown had the best patronzed IL
brary in the state, which would not be
the. case were the council penurious.
Other members spoke and Mr.. Clark
concluded to withdraw his second to
the amendment This brought the
question to vote and all, including
Mr.. Ssieg, voted for the two mill levy.
In the same connection the council
declared that the territory to be in
Guided in the list of properties taxable
for municipal purposes be the same as
the present city limits, and no one
made a fight for the previous proposal
to cut out certain farm and pasture
lands lying within the corporate
boundaries

On the suggestion of Mayor Ingledue
that the present is a good time in
which to secure repairs on the street
pavement laid under the various Barber
company contracts, the city council,

started out today to make an inspection
of every foot of asphalt in the city.
The Barber company at the present
time is reconstructing the faulty work
on South Third avenue, and of neces-
sity has one of it's plants in the city.
The mayor called the councils atten-
ton to the difficulty of inducing the
company to bring expensive equipment
here to make minor repairs, and it was
decided to place the company in po-
sition to compel it to remedy all de-
fects discoverable at the present time,
when the plant is in operation. After
the councils inspection is completed
legal notice to make repairs within
twenty days will be served. as provided
by law.
