HAAS BECOMES HOST.
Enserfains Municipai Omeials 1t His
Home.

Enterfains Municipal OmetAl0 1t His
Home.
Mayor Knox, City Clerk Huesing,
Health Commissioner Sala and the
members Of the aldermanic branch OF
the municipal government. with the
exception of Aids. Tindail and
Schreiner. were the guests Of City
Attorney Hass at his home in Edge
wood park last evening. The occa-
sion was not only a hospitable one.
but, as he intended it should be. too,
an opportunity for an informal dis
cussion of the river front question.
Mr.. Haas made few remarks, set.
ting forth that while there was no
question as to the fact that the tracks
on First avenue were illegal, that the
most practical solution of the long
existing controversy lay in the city
making such concessions on its part
as it would expect the railroad COM
panies to make, and he felt the cor
porations stood ready to make. He
believed an amicable adjustment of
the matter could be reached in this
manner, but that in all events, some
of the tracks should come out. for he
said, two large railway companies
are now knocking at the doors Of the
city for entrance. and the city should
make room to admit them with de-
sirable and acceptable franchises
when they get ready to ask for them.
The only place to put the railroads
now was on the river front. The
roads Mr.. Haas alluded to are be-
lieved to be the Illinois Central and
the Chicago, Peoria & St. Louis. To
the end that the agreement svg-
gested might be reached, Mr.. Haas
recommended an early meeting OF
the committee on river front and a
conference with the railroads such as
might eventuate in the purpose
sought.
| After a social discussion of the
question Mr.. Haas served al excel.
lent repast which seemed to strike
the aldermanic fancy to the dot,
Mayor Knox in proper season return
ing the thanks of the guests for the
hospitalities extended and Mr.. Haas
in reply giving assurance of the
pleasure it gave him to welcome
those present to his home.
What seems the Best Course.
The course now suggested to the
council is in many respects what wa:
some months ago urged by the AR
GUS in connection with its advocacy
of the river front Improvement, and
which project any move that may
be made should not be separated
from. The question Of track rights
on the river front is q long vexed
one that should for the interests o
the city. as well as the railroads. b,
settled, aud in whatever understand
ing is reached, which, it is trusted
may be mutually advantageous. tn
proper improvement of the levee an.
Of First avenue should be tuken int
consideration. That mnch is Ger
tain. The special committee OF tn
council has prepared q plan whicj
ought not to be lost sight Of, no
should it be permitted to be. If tn
council can adjust the matter Wit
all due consideration for the interes
of the city and with such provision
as will insure good levee instead Q
, the long existing disgrace. the pee
pie of Rock Island will hail their &C
!, with enthusiastic appreciation.

DRAW ISM DANGER
Anxiety Over the DismantIed
Bridge Span.
THE ICE NAY DO GREAT DAMAGE.

to Take . Conservative View
Of the Situation, but Prepared to Csc
Dynamite in Case Of EmerEency-Lo Low
Wafer FavofabIe.
The ice may do irreparable DAM
age to the dismantled draw span of
the Rock Island bridge if it breaks
up with rush and goes out without
warning. The railroad deck is sup
ported entirely now by the false
work or the tresle, preparatory to
the substitution of the new steel for
that which has been removed. II
the ice we're to cut such capers as it
is capable of doing and come down
over the rapids with q crash. it
might disturb the tresle work, and
it might take it off. Were the con-
sequences merely to shake the false
work it would be serious enough,
but should the result be to take it
out. it would simply mean the
blocking of the traffic west of the
Mississippi river. aud the great road
would be obliged to transfer its bus
mess either by means of the North
western at Clinton or the c., b. & Q.
at Burlington. Those in charge of
operations at the bridge realize the
gravity Of the situation, as do the
railroad officials in Chicago, but all
are disposed to take a conservative
view OF it.
Low Water May Save Them.
In fact they do not dread such a
disaster as all trust will be avoided,
but are prepared as far as possible
to combat with any emergency
that may arise. They are supplied
with dynamite and the moment
the ice puts on an ominous outlook
will attempt to blow it up around
the bridge. This morning a heavy
fog hung over the river and obscured
the view for any great distance, but
they are keeping the closest vigil
possible under the circumstances.
One of the officials said this morning
tn It he did not anticipate the ice go.
ing out soon. "but." said he. "there
is no telling anything about it. We
feel. though, that there will be nj
particular danger owing, first, to the
low stage of the water-and it is no,
now rising, although fiuctuatine
somewhat-and secondly, to the fact
that this weather is having the effec
to rot it. The more we have of sucl
weather as this the softer become.
the ice. and consequently the dimin
ution Of the elements of danger"
The matter is, nevertheless, one o.
grave concern and will be until tn
ice field is removed.

Result.
The deeds to the tract of land at
Watertown for the location of the
Western Insane hospital are in the
hands Of Commissioner T. j. Medill
as custodian for the state. the trans
fer being made by c. H. Pope on be-
half of the land interests to Mr.. Me-
dill yesterday. The number of acres
dedicated to the state was S84.27 for
which $38.51S was paid, the various
tracts included being purchased of
the following: Daniel McNeal, 1927
acres; w. S. Stevens, 26 acres; John
E. Babcock estate, 25O acres; r.
Letsch. 80 acres. making a total Of
33427 acres, the requirement of the
state being that the site shall en-
brace no less than $50 acres.
Peculiar Predicament.
The transfer of this property to the
state places Hampton school district
in somewhat peculiar predicament,
as it deprives it of the taxes of this
immense property, as state lands are
rot taxable and hence the source of
revenue for school maintenance
seems to have passed with the lands.
OF the tracts transferred to the state
all are in school district No. 6 but 80
acres to the east, which are in school
district No. 1.
