Sometime to Scrsp Over,

1t seems to be absolutely neces.
sary to have something in different
towns, over which people can be.
come excited and over which they can
have good, sociable scrap. In Ce.
dar Falls everybody felt in the best
of humor over the fact that Uncle
Sam is going to give the town a
$4,000 post Office building, until the
question arose where that building
ought to be located. And at once a
controversy began which seems to be
growing decidedly warm.

Would Condemn.


Councilman Brewer stated that ar
rangements of satisfactory character
could not be made with George An
drews for the opening Of the west
end of Second avenue into NJ street.
Mr.. Andrews offer was $500 for the
ground, the city, when the time
should be right and proper, to put
in side walks at city's expense. Tot
al cost to the city would be about
$500 under this arrangement, accord
ing to Mr.. Brewers figures. He
thought this too high and argued that
the city could get it for less and he
offered a resolution requiring city So
liCitor II. B. Mccoy to start Condem-
nation proceedings Immediately.
Mr. Laffollette of the First Ward,
father of the movement for the OBJ
ening of Second avenue, opposed
such proceeding and methods and
pointed out that the city would pay
more in the long run, that any fair
minded jury would give Mr.. Andrews
5000 for one lot alone, through which
the city would pass, to say nothing
of court opposition to the method and
the attendant delays. But Mr.. Lat.
fOllette's talk counted for nothing.
! The resolution for condemnation pro-
ceedings carried, only Mendenhall
and Latfollette voting against it.
Brewer, Penders, Roberts, Williams
and Wells voted on the affirmative
side
Adjournment was taken to next
| Monday evening.
