The Moline Mail discussing sites for
the location of the projected Western
Insane hospital in Rock Island coun-
ty. says:
I'VE understand that Campbell's
island, above Moline. will be offered,
not by the committee, but by the
owners of the ground, and that the
owners recently held 4 meeting at
which the matter was thoroughly
discussed. Nearly all the ground on
the island is owned by the heirs of
the late f. w. Adams. and contains
about 240 acres, the amount required
by the hospital bill. 1t is claimed
that dyke on the west and south
west sides would protect the island
from water, and make il capital
place for the location OF such an in
stitution, access to the island being
obtained by bridge or boats. The
ground will be sold at very low
price. We also believe that the East
Moline company will make bid
for the location of the institution by
offering a site at a reasonable figure.
Other parties owning ground be-
lieved to be suitable for hospital
sites will offer the same to the com
| missioners, but the Mail believes il
would be best to fret present them
| to the local committee. and lc. the
gentlemen composing such commit
tee present the same. and escort the
| commissioners over the various pro-
posed sites. Rock Island has already
announced three or four available
sites (within the corporate limits OF
that city, Of course) and by combi-
nations of property owners will be
| able to offer some Inducements"
