CHURCH WAS STARTED As MISSION
CONGREGATION IL Making a Strenuous
Effort to Pay on Debt of
$4,000 on the New
Eaiace.

Andrew Carnegie has promised to donate
1900 towards a pipe organ for st. Johns
English Lutheran church., conditional on
the congregation first raising a like
amount. This promise Of a donation from
Mr. Carnegie was secured largely through
the efforts Of General Grenville NJ. Dodge
and CONGRESSMAN w. /. Smith. General
Dodge is a personal friend Of Mr.. Carnegie
and Congressman Smith has taken a deep
interest in the completion Of ST. Johns
church building. which is a handsome stone
structure at the corner Of Willow avenue
and Seventh street.
St. Johns Lutheran church was orga-
nized as a mission in April, 1891, and de-
spite the fact that the congregation is
not a wealthy one It has succeeded In
erecting a handsome church edfce, al
though the main auditorium is not yet
! completed. An effort Is now being made
! to finish the interior so that services can
be held in the main auditorium instead
of in the basement. The sum of 5000 is
needed for the completion and the pastor,
Rev. G. w. Snyder, and the congregation
have started out to secure 1t. The me
talIic roof originally placed on the edihce
will have to be replaced with slate and
this will entail an expense OF over 500
which was not anticipated. Since moving
| into the new building the church has been
| called upon to pay upwards OF $500 for
| special improvements such as paving on
both Willow avenue and Seventh street
| and sewerage.

Bonded Debt Small and warrants Are
PAID IN Cash

Bonded Debt Small ana warrants Are
Paid in Cash.
The bonded debt Of the city OF Council
Bluffs on April 1, 1907, was S2S3oCO. made up
Of $4,000 bonds to retire general and water
fund warrants and Ss2,5OO intersection i'm
provement bonds. The city has no floating
debt and all warrants issued are paid
from cash in the several funds. In other
words, Council Bluffs, as a municipality, is
doing business on a cash basis.
During the last fiscal year general bonds
to the amount Of $4,000 and improvement
bonds to the amount Of $500, making a
total OF S9O,5OO. were retired. The intersec-
ton bonds would not have matured until
1910 hence the city has been saved the sum
Of $3.50 in interest by the calling in OF
these obligations before maturity City
Treasurer True has also called in 1850 in
tersection bonds due in 1910. on which, by
virtue Of the call, interest ceased December
l. 1906. During the last fiscal year the city
paid S14112H interest on it's bonded debt.
The general bonds bear ~ per cent. while,
with the exception Of $4,000 which carry

stnte Board Wants Reports.
A meeting of the State Board of Health
will be held soon in this city, at which an
effort will be made to get reports more gem
orally of all contagious and infectious dis
eases Immediately upon their appearance
in the state. The board will entirely re-
write its rules partly with the view of Sc
curing that end. The rules now require
that daily reports of the condition of pa
tients and new cases be made to the board
OF cholera, diphtheria, scarlet fever small
pox, chickenpOx, measles, typhoid fever,
tuberculosis and whooping cough. AS a
matter of fact however. very few doctors
or anybody else pays any attention to this
rule OF the board, especially as to such
! troubles as chickenpOx and whoopins
cough. The board requires the head OF the
/ family to make the report II there is no at
/ tending physician. AS a matter OF fact
this rule Of the board, along with some 9TH
ers was made ages ago and is somewhat
out OF date. Following the rewriting OF
the boards rules, a public meeting will be
held at which doctors from ever the state
will be in attendance and at that time the
new rules will be explained. While not

OmciaIs Have Trouble in Finding
Quarters for Police Board.
That the municipal building on Bryant
street is inadequate for the rapidly increas-
ing needs of the city is generally conceded
by the authorities. That such is the case
has recently been demonstrated when the
law creating the Fire and Police commits
sion requires the city to furnish the COM
mission with suitable quarters. As matters
now are the commission cannot be pro
vided with separate quarters, there being
no spare room in the city building For
the present 1t lie expected the commission
will have to occupy the office Of the mayor.
The city building is of such construction
that another story could not be added, but
it might be possible to erect an addition
on the north side on the site OF the grass
plat between the city hall and jail.
Furthermore. the city is confronted now
with the demand for building in which
to house the city ambulance which will
form part OF the equipment, OF the police
department. The patrol house will not
accommodate It and shed will have to be
constructed north of the patrol house. The
city does not own the ground north of the
patrol house and has been paying rent for
it for several years.
