The state Of Iowa yesterde g =
lected $15,025 from the street - M
pany at Council Bluffs as a fee
on it's articles of incorporation. At
torney General Byers was responsible
for the addition of this money to the
funds of the public in the state treas
ury. Primarily, however, a controver-
sy between the street car company and
the residents of the west end in Coun-
Gil Bluffs was responsible. This con-
troversy arose over the custom of the
company in charging 10 cents to go
across the river or compelling them to
buy nom transferable books of tickets
limited to thirty days. The people sent
for the attorney general to aid them IN
their fight for better fares. His investi-
cation of the question of the right OF
the company to do business inv Iowa,
the only question before the company
to do business In Iowa, the only ques-
ton before him, led to the disclosure
that the company had failed to file ar
ticles of incorporation at the state
house.
