MEETING Of THE
CITY COUNCIL
One Objection to Sewer Assessment
h. on Division Street.-L-
- brary Report.

The council met last night in reg
ular session. This was the date for
the hearing of objections on the d.
vision street sewer extension. No
written objections were received,
but J. B. Baxter, a resident of the
street, was present to give some YER
bal objections. His objections were
based upon the fact that the sewer
did not run on the street his house
faces, and that the sewer would
have to cross his residence lot to
get to the house. AS his property Is
AUDITING on the sewer the objections
were not sustained. The final reso-
luton was then passed for the sew
err. The report of the Kendall
Young library and trust estate was
read for the six months ending Dec.
81, 1914, and the city clerk was in
structed to check the same and re-
port at the next meeting.
Reports of the city officials
clerk, treasurer, weishmaster, street
commissioner, sexton and superin-
tendent, were also read and APPROX
ed, and the usual bills allowed.

For School Directors.

Elsewhere in these columns will
be found the announcements Of Mrs.
Myrtle Meadow and Mrs. Alta New
man as candidates for members of
the school board. This is the first
time in the history of Webster City
that women have appeared as can
didates for this Office.
1t should establish precedent for
all time. There is no place where
women are needed in public Office
more than upon the board of edu-
cation. Three men and two women
are an excellent balance for any
board of school directors and the an
nouncement of these women will be
hailed with satisfaction.
Mrs. Meadow has been resident
of this city for about twenty years
and is a woman whose educational
and intellectual advantages have
been the best. She is teacher of
wide experience, is also mother
with child in the grades Of the
city schools, and withal woman OF
rare common sense.
Mrs. Newman has also been res

Yidept of this city for the greater
part of twenty-three years. She has
had some experience as a teacher
and wide experience as a business
woman. She, too, is an excellent
mother with a son in the city high
school. She is we'll known as a
woman with keen bright mind,
far-seeing and of good judgment,
and will be director, if elected,
whose interest for the teacher will
be equally Strong with that for the
children. y
Z" That this is strong team cannot
be denied, as both have been teach
ers, both are mothers--and good
ones-and both are women of intel
lect, refinement and good judgment,
and not afraid to speak their minds.

Taken to Cherokee.

Henry Wahlers, man thirty-tive
years of age, living upon farm
southeast of this city, was this af-
ternoon adjudged insane and will oe
taken to Cherokee in the morning.
At the same time, the deputy
sheriff will take Roy Mott back to
the hospital at Cherokee. Young
Mott is the twenty year old son OF
Mrs. Chas. Jacobs and was commit
ted to Cherokee April LIST, 1914, and
paroled ON July l, 1914, with the
understanding that should it be nee
essary to return the young man to
the institution within the limit in
Dictated by the date on the parole, it
should be done at the mothers eX-
pense. This young man has lately
been giving the authorities some
annoyance by wandering away from
his family. Every few days the po-
lice department has been instructed
by the young mans relatives that he
had left the house and gone down
town; and for them to look out for
him. Sometimes this has resulted
in finding him Immediately and
again it has not. In view OF the fact
that trouble and annoyance has al
ready been experienced and is likely
to be continued, the authorities have
decided to return the young man to
Cherokee in the morning. The boy
is not wholly irresponsible, but is so
in a measure, making the control Of
him very difficult. 1t is possible that
a prolonged course of treatment will
have something to do with his re-
covery. He is not vicious, but wan
ders away where his relatives fear
he may fall into danger. 1t is 4
sad case, indeed, and one which has
the sympathy of the community.

The basket ball team of Company
C played u winning game with the
Fort Dodge Y. M. C. A. team Thurs
day night with a score Of 81 to %.
The game was played at the arm
DRY in this city to a fair sized audi
ence and was fast one. The first
half of the game resulted in a score
OF IA to II in favor Of TT. Dodge,
but the local team got in their fast
work in the latter half, enjoying
the victory all the more for the rea-
son that the last time they played
with this team they were defeated.
Week after next the team will
take a trip to Charles City and Os-
age with a game at each place.

Strain Upon Wires,

1t is little wonder that telephone
and telegraph wires were broken by
the weight of accumulated ice re-
sulting from the rain and sleet OF
Sunday and Monday. Frank Malcolm
had sample of wire covered with
ice this morning. The wire was
small, perhaps as large as an ordin-
airy match, but it was covered with
a coating of ice that measured just
two inches in circumference. Such
a body of ice reaching from pole to
pole weighs considerable and re-
quires quite a strong wire to sus-
tain it. Z

STORM PUTS FORT
DODGE IN DARKNESS
Gypsum City Wishes it Owned its
Own Power and Electric
Light Plant. "

Fort Dodge was, in darkness Sun
day night and the Chronicle of that
city in its issue of yesterday con-
tanned the following in. regard to
the situation:
The hammering of the city COM
mission against the persistently un-
satisfactory service which the Fort
Dodge Gas & Electric Co. has been
giving this city; the repeated prom
Uses made and broken by the rep
resentatives of the company regard
ing its light and power supply; the
contract of the company to use its
local plant as an auxiliary, develop
ed to the point of absurd futility in
the face of the prevailing storm
which has so crippled the light and
power supply that it is next door TO
worthless. e. aa .....
With all due allowance for the
difficulties to which the storm gives
rise, that Fort Dodge was as dark as
a pocket last night until long after
midnight is an illustration of bad
service and unpreparedness on the
part of the company that is far from
the representations of the latter
when it sought and secured the priv
ilege to connect the city with the
Fraser plant. With no lights on
the streets, with church services
abandoned, with the hotels and
places of amusement deprived Of
light, with street car service annul-
led, with all power motors down
that was the predicament of Fort
Dodge last night and portion OF
the time today. 49,.
This situation would have been
obviated If the local plant of the
company had been called into use.
Why was not this done? Has 1t
been dismantled and not available
for auxiliary purposes? If so this
is expressly contrary to the under
standing of the city with the COM
pany. Fort Dodge is getting dan
gerously near the situation of the
camel and the last straw. There is
limit to the patience of even this
long-suffering community. If the
company is not prepared to furnish
service in emergencies now it will
not be able to do so in the future
unless there is distinct change of
policy. OF the latter the public may
well be skeptical. The length of
promises and the shortness of pei
formances already entered on the
record give little basis on which to
found hope.
Last nights situation is illumin-
ating on one point-that the service
of the Fort Dodge Gas & Electric
company is well nigh intolerable-
and it has already started an agita-
ton led by the official heads of the
city against a repetition of such
conditions or some measure that
will lift the city from the tender
mercies of the service now existing.
That the city should own it's own
plant is a subject for which the
present company has furnished one
of the best arguments that has yet
been advanced.
