 The type of motor omnibus first used l in Paris was steam driven vehicle, ! made in 1891, before the days of the gasoline autobus. A boiler and small engine of the four cylinder type, mounted on the front of the platform, were used to drive the rear wheels by chains, and the wheels were bound with ordinary metal tires.

Iowa Falls, May S.-After sundry
postponements and adjournments, the
sale of the electric light plant at re-
ceiver's sale finally took place here
yesterday afternoon, there being but
one bid and that Of $1,000. The bidder
was A. c. Smith, of Des Moines, SON.
in-law of o. F. Petersen, who has
owned the plant for some time. The
order for sale by tho receiver was I'M
der legal authority en1anating from a
Polk county court.
After Mr.. Smith had made his bid,
Attorney Williams, Of E!dora, repre-
senting the holder of the first two
mortgages against the plant, served
notice on Smith that the year for re-
demption under foreclosure sale of
the plant would expire Monday, May
10. A year ago tomorrow, the mort
gagees purchased the plant when sold
at sheriff's sale, but Petersen was
granted a year under the law under
which to redeem the property. Un-
less he pays the two liens against the
property, now amounting to approx
mately $4,000, the plant will become
the property Of the mortgages. who
hold the first two mortgages against
the plant here. It appears a third
mortgage has been eliminated so far as
the security Of the local plant is con-
cerned but holds first lien on the
transmission line to Alden.
More Litigation Promised.
The next forty eight hours may de-
velop legal phases that viii! further tie
up the plant in litigation and deny
the mortgages the right 70 recover
under their mortgages. In fact, the
at the plant has been involved in the
court for several years and it is
thought Des Moines parties interested
in the plant will fight to the last ditch
to hold the property.
In the meantime, the Cedar Rapids
people who have franchise for light
and heat plant here are going ahead
with their lines and force Of men
commenced setting poles yesterday to
carry the transmission lines Ct the new
company. In g. canvass Of the city,
made by the Cedar Rapids company to
secure contracts for heating, with two
or three exceptions, every one now
taking heat agreed to become patrons
of the new company as soon as their
service was in operation. In fact the
attitude of the public towards the new
company is most cordial one and the
new plant and service will be well
coined by those dependent on electric;
