Among other topics for consideration
for the good of the city is one that
seems quite new for this locality, but
which seems TO loom up with some
good backing for its adoption at some
! future and opportune time. 1t is that
of employing cl.y engineer who shall
be in measure what the city man
aSer is to cities Of larger size. who
shall be permanent member OF the
executive force of the city and who
shah have u district bureau with line
OF duties more extensive and In some
ways more important than any city en-
gneer here has ever before had. 1t is
suggested that he might have charge
Of the purcha sing department fer the
city. of the street commissioners de-
partment, as well as oversight OF the
sidewalk. sewer, and paving depart
ments. 1t is not expected by those who
anticipate springing such a proposition
that this can be done at once or. per-
haps, even in the very near future.
| even should the plan seem wise to n
| large majority of the members of the
club. There is also to come UP at that
meeting the question of the employ
ment of secretary for the club who
shall devote all his time to the up
building of the city. There is not like

ATTORNEY GENERAL cossoN

FRIENDLY ACTION.
FEARS or CITY OFFICIALS
SHOULD De PUT At REST
ottumwa Attorney censults With
State Department Regarding NEW
Assessment Statute - Fear Of Law
May Prevent Awarding Of Improve.
mont Contracts Unless Settled.

Des Moincs, Feb. 23.-Friendly ac-
ton to test the new paving assessment
law is advised by Attorney General
Cosson in order that fear ntertained
by city officials of the state will not
check street improvements this year.
II case is begun at once, it will be
possible to place it before the SUPPER
court at the March term and an opin-
attorney general says. This will be in
sufficient time to permit cities to let
their contracts and carry out all Of
their projects before cold wea ther.
Cities which wish to get an early star:
may have all Of the contracts ready to
sign by April so that the test Of the
law will not delay them a day. 1t is
suggested.
There is sufficient doubt in the
minds Of the city officials of the state
to warrant test of the law, the attor-
Eey general says. The statute orders
city officials to assess property within
800 feet Of street Improvement as
Well as the property which abuts on
the Improvement. The assessing may
be done by the benefit plan or by grad
ing the assessments on a percentage
plan. Both ways cause city officials to
fear long and expensive litigation over
every Improvement.
The city attorney of Ottumwa came
to Des Moines to confer with the at
torney general regarding the law. IL
is probable that Ottumwa will take up
the suggestion Of the state official and
bring friendly action in the courts so
that the statute may be construed.
There is but one point involved, and
If both sides are in earnest, the attor-
ney general says the case can be car
ried on with little expense and that an
early decision can be secured from the
supreme court.
While some of the cities Of Iowa are
pla ming pavement, sewers and curbing
improvements, there Is great suneasi-
ness over the new law and affairs
everywhere are tagging. In Des MONIES
there is plenty of agitation for new
pavements. but the city council has
done nothing toward putting the pro-
posals thru. Other cities report the
same conditions. 1t is only the uncer-
tainty Of the law which Is retarding
matters.

Nesbit Thaw, arrested here Monday
because she disobeyed Mayor Ainalie's
order forbidding her to appear at a
matinee in a local theatre, was dis
missed after two-hour hearing in the
police court.
The warrant upon which the actress
was arrested charged that her perform
ance outraged the public decency and
was detriment to public morals. The
action of Mayor Ainslie in forbidding
her to appear was taken at the request
of the local Ministerial Union. Wit
nesses at the hearing, which the &C
tress did not attend, said that there
was nothing improper in the perform
ance. The mayor admitted that his
order for her arrest was issued on ad
vice of the city attorney.
