The Tri-City Bridge and Terminal
company is having hard work to
make the residents of the upper end
of Scott county see enough in its
project of line to Clinton to vote a
tax to aid it. Meetings for and
against the scheme were held, and
red hot debates resulted The cleo
ton on the question of voting the tax
came off, and Princeton township
voted against it, while LeClaire
township voted for it. Now those
against it in the latter township are
raising money to fight the assessment
on the grounds of illegality and
irregularity. In Princeton the COM
pany has made new proposition to
the residents to the effect that not a
cent of the tax will be taken until the
road is entirely completed and the
train service is begun. A new cleo

BUSINESS BLOCKS.
What Rock island is Greatly in
Need of.
yHANCE FOR WISE INVESTMENT.

The City Losing New Mercantile Enter
prIses Because of Lack of Accom- moda-
tson for Them-0ne Example in Ptrticu
lar-wnI the Needs be Met?
Rock Island has made wonderful
progress in building improvements
in the last few wears. The report
in detail appearing in THE ARGUS at
the beginning Of the year con aimed
the record made the past year in this
regard. In the way of new business
blocks, the city has not been back
ward, number of handsome struc-
lures having risen in various locali
ties. The need OF such improve
ments, too, has been invariably
shown by the way such new build
ihgs have filed up, and the fact that
there is not vacant store room in
the city at the present time, demon
strates that want has been sup
piled.
More Buildings Wanted
But as further evidence that Rock
Island is still in great need OF mod
ern business blocks. it may b. said
that within n week we NAV have
lost q mammoth new mercantile
store, simply because no accommo-
.dations could be offered to induce its
location here. A gentleman who
was enterprising enough to tear
down rattletrap on one of our main
business thoroughfares and erect u
modern business block instead. was
offered most tempting chance to
lease for five years, to vacate the
storeroom and permit the incoming
merchant to have possession. The
gentleman could not afford to make
the sacrifice and the business man
who thus sought to locate here. may
possibly 90 elsewhere.
Probabilities and Possibilities
The ARGUS has referred from time
to time to building improvements
and extensions in contemplati on the
coming season, but looking over the
list, it is hardly probable that even
then the requirements of the situa-
ton in Rock Island will be in any
way met. What we need S more
modern and more commodious store
rooms" said a merchant the other
| day. Il desire a larger store; here
| am cramped for room, AMI can't
make anything like the display OF
stock that | would like to-but what
am l going to do? l cannot get any
better accommodations. If some pro-
gressive minded property holder
will erect business block with good
! storeroom, would be willing to give
twice the rental am paying now, and
lit the storeroom up with the best APP
pointments there are in the three
cities"
This gentleman, the ARGUS may
add, voices the opinion OF many other
merchants who are anxious to expand
and improve their business, but who
have not the room to do it. Property
holders. especially those owning old
fashioned buildings, whose arrange
mcnts are such that they do not
Weld the revenue of modern build
ing. never had such inducements
thrust upon them to rebuild As AT the
present time.
