OUR PROPOSED PARKS
Time That Plans for Their Future
Be Taken into Con-
sideration.
THE TWO. LARGER
PROJECTS
Beauty Spots in Town an In
centive to More Pretentious
Development.

The coming season should witne %
the commencement of a systematic
development of the tracts of land
south of the city to be known a.
Longview and Reservoir parks, vestei
in the municipality aud set aside for
these purposes. In the matter OF
small parks Rock Island is more for
tunate than most cities of much
larger size. In fact, the city has at
tanned fine degree of fame through
out the land for its attra ctiveness in
this respect. Spencer aud Garnsey
squares evidencing, as they do, the
enterprising tendency of the city and
the public spirit and generosity of its
citizens, are beauty spots rarely
equaled, as far as the space s. de-
voted is concerned.
But the city ha. now reached the
plane of Importance waere there
should be something larger, some
thing in the way of more extensive
and pretentiouS pleasure grounds,
reached by improved drives aud tes-
tifying to the skill of the landscape
architect aud the Ing nuity ana sur
passing design of the decorative AZ
tist- The grounds of these two pIrks
with their commanding views and
other natural advantages, should be
laid out and comprehensive plan
and scope determined upon, that there
may be an end to work to.
Readily Accessible.
The proposed parks south of town
are already fairly accessible by paved
thoroughfares, and it will not be long
it is hoped, before these are extended
further, and in addition new lines of
the Tri-City Railway system built
out in that direction. 1t is a fact
not TO be longer doubted that
the country skirting the city to the
south has so rapidly developed ard
expanded and built up, that the priVi-
leges and accommodation of rapid
transit must very soon be accorded
IL is to the interest of the community.

that they may be taken into consider

extension.

ton.

The past few days have been fruit
full of events in the telephone trouble
at Milan. heretofore referred 10 in
THE ARGUS The switchboard. which
was the property of c. A. Wangelin,
has been located at Zeitchers restaur-
ant, and Mr.. L ,itchel resisted the eff
forts of the owner to take it out.
Thursday MIR. Wangelin secured the
proper writ and with Deputy Sheriff
Andrews and a force of men went
10 Milan, took the switchboard out
and installed il in his own rooms
across Main street.
This was the signal for the begir-
ming of active operations. Owners OF
the Monmouth road line promptly cut
it near Milan and the others grounded
their wires so that no lines were left in
working order except few private
ones in the village.
Rural Lines again Connected.
Yesterday a switch board formerly
used at Sherrard was secured and in
stalled at Zeitchel's and the rural lines
connected with it. This act disre-
garded the original franchise granted
by the city council, which provides
for but one central Office within the
corporate limits, and paves the way
for the whole thing to get into court.
As the matter now stands, the line
owners are in the ascendant. They
claim they have found by experience
that exchange with Rock Island and
Moline would be of insignificant value
to them as compared with the local
use of their lines. and they do not
propose to enter into any entangling
alliances to secure il. The time for
arbitration is evidently past and the
victory will be to the strongest.
Meanwhile the rural subscribers who
have Bell transmitters are hoeing a
hard row.
