A MOLINE REpuprAron's WHINE

communication appears in the Moline Re
rfetr, signed Citizen from which we clip
the following:
We express our indignation at the cause Of Rock
Island In robbtng Us of our territory, and most
emphaticaliy declare that our worst fears hereto
fore felt Us to the course of that city in the event
of consolidation are being fully confirmed by tne
conduct of her city authorities, insulting C9an
ell by nnnexing large portion OF Moline toWlsnp'
pending its consideration in our municipAi oo"',
This is very narrow and wrong We" Oh
the matter. Because the territory nap
pened to lie within the Township OF Moline
gave the CITY of Moline no more right to 1t
than # gave R5ck Island And neither
the CITY Council of Moline or Of Rock Is
land had any right to act upon the matter
of smoking it before three-fourths Of the
7 toters, and the owners of three-fourths of
the property asked to be annexed The
necessary number of petitioners could not
be obtained--no not an eighth part Of the
necessary number, for annexation u No
line. The necessary number did petition
to be annexed to Rock Island therefore
the Moline City Council could not ''eonsid
err it or have anything to dowith it Rock
Island City Council only treated the peti
TONERS respectfully and granted their re
quest

THE FERRY MONOPOLY Did any of
our citizens reflect that at least one mo-
nupoly in our midst has, or is. growing
rich--namelv the ferry company. For
several days past we have published items
regarding the number of wagons and
other wheeled vehicles crossing over the
new bridge, since it was opened On Sat
urday this number was over five hundred
Now did it ever occur to our friends here
abouts that the ferry company has carried
over larger number every day during the
past season and the other seasons gone bv
In all cases wagons were compelled to pay
not less than fifty cents for each time
going over and return. By a little exer-
else Of arithmetic it will thus be seen that
the ferry company pOcketed $3.50 per day
from wagons and carriages alone. Add to
this the immense number Of foot passen-
gers crossing in a constant stream, and, at
the very lowest possible estimate, we will
say the receipts of the ferry company
averaged four hundred dollars daily. Els
timating, in wild guess, that the ex-
penses of running the machine will not
exceed one hundred dollars-and we do
not believe it will amount to this-we find
that the ferry company clear at least three
hundred dollars daily. But then, for
safety sake, suppose that the number of
teams and people crossing on the ferry
would not equal the number using the
bridge, and saying the amount cleared
would not be over two hundred dollars
daily-and that's low-we will estimate
therefrom. The navigation season lasts
fully two hundred days, and at two
hundred dollars per day, clear
gain, the profits of the ferry company
would amount to over forty thousand dol
lars during each year. Who wouldn't OWL
