Councilman Gregory Objects to Psen-
ieka's Move for Fire Alarms.

ICk2 Move IOT TiFS
Councilman Psencka, of the Fifth
ward urged upon the council Monday
night the necessity of placing Il fire
alarm box in the Fifth ward at Ninth
avenue and May street.
Councilman Gregory, of the Second,
while he did not oppose the PROPOSE
ton. declared 1t useless extravaganza
to install fire alarm boxes anywhere
at the present time. He said he had
been working for long time to get u
box put either at st. Thomas hospital
or near the soldiers home gate, where
he believed one was badly needed He
had always been discouraged in bring
ing the matter before the council be-
cause of the expense, and said that to
put in the box wanted by Fsenicka
would cost the city $500. The new
telephone company was going to build
it's line next summer, and had given
the city right to lay fire alarm wires
in the conduits. Gregory thought it
wiser TO so easy on fire alarm expense
until the new conduits We're laid. and
then save the expense of putting In
signal service now and perhaps tear
ing them down again within few
months.
Mr. Psenicka did not deny that new
boxes were needed In other parts of
town, but said that that was no rea-
son for delaying this one. He said the
people in the Fifth ward We're in great
need of the alarm, and that they had
no fire protection at all. Mr.. Gregory
quoted Chief Kirby as authority for
the statement that the telephone was
a much more satisfactory fire alarm
signal than the alarm box. The box
itself costs $75, to say nothing Of the
expense of erecting the wires.
Herman moved to amend Psenicka's
resolution by putting box at the cor
ner of Thirteenth and Fremont. adja-
cent to both the hospital and the SOL
diers' home.
Gregory moved to lay the resolution
on the table until the next regular
and added even tho election
would he over at that time He re-
ceived no second.
On the vote as amended. all were
recorded aye, Devine and Clark be-
ing absent.

NEW CHANNEL OF IOWA RIVER
NEAR. ASHER CREEK MAY
LESSEN CITY HEAD.
FRESHET MIGHT MEAN
DAMAGE TO SERVICE
Councilman Gregory Calls Attention of
Council to Possible Contingencies of
Future, and Water Works Commit
tee is Given Power to Act and Take
All Necessary Precaution.

Councilman Gregory, of the Second
Monday night to the possible contin-
gencies that might arise In the event
of big spring freshet, and to the fact
that the city's water service might be
affected and expense incurred by rea-
son of new channel the Iowa river
is making near the mouth Of Asher
creek.
The new channel leaves the river at
q point where the old boat houses for
merly stood, and on farther above in
Asher creek proper. there is another
channel leading from Asher creek, and
thru this goes much backwater from
the river when the Iowa is raging. At
present the channel is only from four
to six feet wide, but in different places
there are channels that are already
from sixteen to twenty-five feet in
width.
Pipe Line Threatened.
The city's pipe line from the gravel
beds lies over the area that would De
flooded by a big freshet thru the new
channels. and with a heavy rise in the
river there would be much land cut
away and volume of water would be
carried underneath and adjacent to the
pipe line. AS the ground here is of
sand formation Mr.. Gregory thinks tina;
there is grave danger of undermining
the pipe and causing trouble.
Would Lessen Head at Dam.
II much water is sent thru the newer
channels the head of water maintained
by the dam would be materially low
cred. and. this might make a difference
in the level of the water in the beds.
Mr.. Gregory suggested that the wa
terworks committee investigate the sit
tation at once, and made a motion to
that effect, granting the committee full
