CAN'T SEE IT.
The County SUPERVISOR Idea of Publishing
Their Proceedings.

Their Proceedings.
At this mornings session of the
board of supervisors. the matter of
publication of the official proceedings
for the ensuing year was discussed.
Bids were submitted by the commit
tee delegated yesterday to receive
them, as follows: Rock Island ARGUS,
1925; Union, 800; Rock Islander,
SS5; Moline Dispatch, $94; Moline
Republican-Journal, 1880. Super
visor Ford. of Moline, made a motion
that the Rock Islander and the Re
publican-Journal be awarded the
contract at 1880.
Supervisor Wilson offered an
amendment that all, five papers bid
ding be awarded the contract at $50
each. The board adopted the mo-
ton. taking it for granted apparent
ly that the papers would tumble
over each other to accept the propo-
sition.
The low estimate which the board
places on the value of newspaper
space is ridiculous, and THE ARGUS
is surprised that so absurd motion
should be given serious con-
sideration, much less passed. 1t
is the duty of the county board to
have its proceedings published that
the taxpayers OF the county may
know what their supervisors are do
ing. but official proceedings and all
that the supervisors may take it into
their heads to order into them are
not of so much value to a paper, that
it can afford to publish them at a
loss, and as far rs The ARGUS is con-
cerned ii does not propose to do so.
The supervisors waste time for
which the taxpayers of the county
are charged each year, trying to do
something wise about the publica-
ton of the official proceedings, which
if applied to good effect would pay
for the publication at respectable
! figures.
The boards proposition as far as
THE ARGUS is concerned, is declined.

A Suggestion.

EN-Mayor Henry Carse made an
excellent suggestion this morning in
view of the completion of the new
pavilion, and which was to the effect
that 4 set OF flags of the signal SER
vice he secured by the city and that
the weighmaster could attend to
hoisting them from the flag staff on
the building. 1t would be a good
place to display the weather indica-
ton signals. all lines of street cars
passing in view of the building. and
it is situated where all people in the
the business neighborhood might
readily see the signals.
The spaces for the clock dials are
the only features of the building that
are not ornamental. Unit, such
time as the city decides to put a
clock in the building. either colored
glass or paintings of some sort should
be substituted

The city scale house on Market

the finishing touches being nut on
today. Weighmaster Kimbau is
about the prondest man in town to-
day. and is as happyin his new home
as it is possible for anyone toibe.
The old scale house has vanished.
and with it goes one of the eyesores
of Rock Island. For years it has
stood in Market square and of late
years it has become a nuisance in a
way, for with all the improvements
that have been made still it stood in
the midst as blot, but it has been
obliterated. and in its stead neat
little building, an ornament to the
square has been erected.
Dimensions.
The new building covers a space
of ground II by % feet, and lust in
side the Roman arches is a room for
the weighmaster 8 by II feet and 9
feet high. The pavilion. or second
floor of the building is 10 feet and s
inches above the pavement and is
open on all sides. The floor is Is
feet wide by q feet long and is a
suitable place for public speaking,
band concerts. etc. The extreme
height of the building from the
ground up is IS feet.
The fire and police alarm box has
been moved from the pole in the cen
ter of the square to the corner
near Thomas drug store, and the
street car company will remove the
pole from the square, and the little
popcorn stand which has so long
held sway there, is to be removed, as
is also the Jack fountain. as has
been heretofore mentioned in THE
ARGUS.
The building is of exceedingly neat
and pretty design, and should make
every progressive citizen in Rock
Island feel. as il does the weighmas-
ter, happy. 1t would he an excellent
idea for the gentleman whose bust
ness house faces the square, and who
uses said square as storehouse for
his wagons. to be notified that the
proper place for his wagons is in the
alley or in Il barn. They are surely
no ornament. and further they block
the street.

1t deprives man ofhis citizenship and
leaves him without hope Of redress.
To take from man the right to
