ARE BECOMING TOO NUMEROUS

There is at least one enterprise in
Rock Island that has assumed such
proportions as to become something
of an eyesore. The portable popcorn
stand is what is referred to.
When this statement is given pub
licity it is not the intent to create
prejudice against the vendors them
selves. They have set up these stands
for the purpose of gaining an honor
able livelihood. They are not to
blame for this, as long as the city
tolerates them indiscriminately.
Yet the practice has grown TO be
almost an evil-odious to the general
appearances of the city-being one of
I those infant industries that have been
tiourish:ng particularly under the
McConochie regime. When Mayor
Medill took the executive reins four
years ago he early saw that the stands
about Spencer square were detracting
from the natural beauty of that park
and ordered them away from there
But they are back again. And
they are not only at the
principal entrances to Spencer
square, but they can be found hug

should Meet Certain Requirements.
ALI legitimate business should be
encouraged. The sale of popcorn is
Legitimate and is perhaps necessary
adjunct of a city, but the vender
should be obliged to meet certain
requirements provided by ordinance
in the matter of character of the en-.
closure from which he dispenses his
goods.
If the reader desires an example of
the extent to which a public privilege
can be abused he has only to take a
glance at the specimen of architecture
that now adorns one of the principal
corners of the city. Here has been
locked on to the front of an old tene-
ment a shell made of Anticipated
boards and rusty sheet iron, where
fruit dealers apparently make out
an easy livelihood. The building is a
disgrace to the city, as well as the
immediate neighborhood.
It's Up to the Mayor.
It is within the power of the mayor
to check this abuse. If be does not
do it, the mem bers of the council
ought, in Justice to the public adopt
remedial measures.

gressive merchants with pride in the
city give to the business thorough
