ASK SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
Diamond 10 Proposition For a Levee
Warehouse.


Warehouse.
At a meeting of the license and
markets committee of the city council
last evening at the city hall. the Dia-
mond 10 Steam boat company submit
ted proposition for a warehouse on
the new levee, with dimensions of 100
by $50 feet, to be located east of the
east line of Seventeenth street. The
company seeks the privileges referred
to for period of % years, at NOM
inal rental per year. While the
committee took the proposition
under consideration, the apparent
purpose of the Diamond 10 COM
pany is to take advantage of the
existing situation in view of the al
lodged threat of legal procedure in
the event of the city undertaking to
solve the case and erect wharf
house, and railroad the license
proposition through.
Meanwhile, what of the local
packets, in whom the merchants are
ten to one more interested than they
are in the Diamond 10 line? Under
the plan before the committee, the
local packets would be privileged to
use the 10 line accommodation, or keep
away from Rock Island, or ask for
separate warehouse privileges. And
if the council were to give privileges
to the Diamond 10 company, it would
eventually be obliged to extend the
same rights to the local lines if it
wanted their commerce, and thus
sooner or later would come the COM
plete abandonment of the river front
to private control.
The local packets, be it said to their
credit, have under all circumstances
maintained friendly spirit toward
Rock Island, while the big 10 line has
severed commercial relations and SUBJ
jected the city to boycott. Yet the pro-
position that now seeks consideration
offers no relief for the state of affairs
that has existed, but would simply
transfer the key to the situation on
the levee from the city's keeping to
that of the 10 line in return for it's
spiteful attitude toward the CITY.
Meanwhile the local packet lines, in
which the business men are inter-
ested. and which have waited pa
tiently, trusting to Rock Island to
right the situation in due time,
would be left at the mercy of the
more powerful Diamond 10 COM
pany.
The managers of each OF these local
lines naturally oppose special privi-
leges. and both have stated their will
ingness to pay reasonable rental to
the city for the use of warehouse
owned by the city. In fact, the total of
what Capts. Streckfus and Blair are
willing to pay would amour: to at |
least Is per cent on an investment of
-. 600 by the city for warehouse.
So that, were it not for the fact that |
the city has by annual appropriation |
set aside 81, 900 for the warehouse, il |
could borrow the money at s per cent, |
and outside of the Diamond 10 |
realize saving of per cent for re-
pairs, insurance, etc.
IL there is to be any warehouse on |
the levee the city must own it.

in the incident, made display of deep

the boy in the case was presented with
a toy hammer, which he appreciated
very much. He appeared before his
mother about 80 minutes after receiv-

"Why, what is the matter, my son?''
