Falls City Council Doing.
j A feature of the council meeting
Falls City Tuesday evening was the
reading of a communication from Ir
vin Matthews concerning the condem
nation proceedings in which the city
recently was given a verdict in the cir
cuit court. The writer changed "im
moral" conduct on the part of the al
dermanic body and thoroughly lam
basted the city attorney for the part he
played in the action. The trend of
Mr. Matthews' letter was a request
that the city withdraw from enforcing
the court's order, otherwise he would
appeal the case to the Bupreme court.
The city of Falls City condemned
piece of land for bridge purposes, af
ter having tendered Mr. Matthews
$150 therefor. Following the judg
ment in the circuit court It was dis
covered that an additional parcel lOx
20 fleet was needed for the project aa
proposed by the council, and the city
attorney offered to pay the costs in th
suit, amounting to $77, if the owner
would deed this to the city. Mr. Mat
thews refused to entertain the propo
sition, and now threatens the city with
an appeal if it does not desist In its
effort to gain ownership of the land I
question. The language used in th'
communication to the council is libel
ous in its nature, and further develop
ments as a result may appear upon
the horizon in the not very dim vista
of the future.
An ordinance granting the lighting
company a twenty-five year franchise
was presented to the council, and re
ferred to the council as a committee
of the whole. A meeting of the
committee to consider the franchise
and also the accompanying contract
for lighting the city was held last
night.
The city attorney was instructed to
proceed without unnecessary delay to
collect delinquent street improvemen
assessments, the city needing the mon
ey advanced by it for the purpose to
carry on the municipal government
during the year. These delinquent as
sessments aggregate about $2000,
which when collected will be returned
to the general fund, from whence the
cash was taken upon completion of
the work. The several funds are at
a low ebb, and it is Ifkely that the
city will be obliged to borrow money
to carry it through the year. This
being the case the council has decided
not to make any Improvements this
season outside of keeping in repair th
newly macadamized streets and the re
placing of dilapidated sidewalks with
new ones. It was ordered that the
Third street foot-bridge be put in safe
condition for travel. This is the struc
ture affected to the Matthews case.
The finance committee sought
further time to audit the report of the
retiring auditor and police Judge, G.
O. Clement, pleading that it had not
us yet found time to give it attention
and the council granted its request.
In order to make sure of having an
abundance of water during the sum
mer the water committee was instruct
ed to interview the Falls City Lumber
company and see if the amount now
being used by it could not be some
what reduced. The auditor and po
lice judge was also instructed to col
lect double water rates from those
consumers who permit their neighbors
to take water from their taps.
The necessary steps will be taken
forthwith to cause the construction of
a sidewalk of regulation width on the
south side ofl Perry street, beginning
at the Fred Holman property, for a
distance of three blocks.
The council transferred $90 from
the road fund to the street fund for
the purpose of paying interest on the
1914 street improvement bonds.
