to inspect the waterworks system
there. He gave Il detailed account of
the workings of the plant in that city
and recommended that WaterworlIs
Supt. Bancroft be given authority to
make experiments with the coagulent
used there with view of ascertain
ing if its use is practical here. The
report was adopted.
Another recommendation made in
the report, and consequently adopted
by the council, calls for the installing
of 500 meters annually till all the
principal consumers of water be pro-
vided with them. If the new coagu-
lent is a success Supt. Bancroft is of
the opinion that, with the meters and
another filter basin, the solution of
the water question will be at hand.
Aid. Ecllhart was appointed mem
Der of the committee upon the revis-
ion and reprinting of the ordinances.
Aid. Anderson, the chairman. stated
that the first of the report will be
ready in about a month.
City Clerk Schaffer reported that
although twice have bids been adver-
tised for for the grading of drive
ways in Longview park no one has
submitted proposition to do the
work, all the contractors having all
they can do. Nothing can now be
done till spring.
The council ordered the purchase
of three boiler safety devices that are
arranged to sound an alarm when
the water gets either too low or too
high. They will be placed on the
boilers in the waterworks pumping
station.

which has undertaken the suit
against the city.
Aid. McCaskrin then spoke and eldb-
Grated upon the ideas advanced by
the city attorney. Ala. Kennedy was
inclined to criticise the bridge com
mittee for meeting recently with the
Milan gentlemen and committees of
the Rock Island Club at the club TO
talk over the bridge question. He de-
clared that the place to do business
was before the council and that the
council chamber was the proper place
to meet. and questioned the iurisdic-
tion of the committees of the club or
the Retail Merchants association in
the matter. The bridge committee
was finally given further time.
Aid. McCaskrin wouId Enjoin.
The telephone ordinance was
brought up in resolution offered by
AID. McCaskrin directing the city at
tornev to begin proceedings To enjoin
the Central Union company from OPP
Grating in the city unless proceedings
were at once begun to secure Il new
charter. Aid. BirkeI offered ap-amend-
ment that the company be instructed
to take out all city telephones at
once. and Aid. Kennedy seconded the
amendment. stating that he believed
that was the right way to begin, and
adding later that he questioned the
motive of the aldermen who voted for
the repeating ordinance but who be-
came weak-kn'eed when it came to
putting it into effect. 1t was finally
voted, on motion of Aid. Gall, to lay
over till the next meeting, by which
time the new system is expected to be
in operation and any action the coun-
ell may take need not leave the city
without fire and police service.

Those who made propositions were

John Hauschildt. The lowest bid was
that of Mr.. Konosky. who offered to
do the work for $500. The others
ranged up to s1,623. Mr.. Konosky
was accordingly awarded the con
tract.

NO IMMEDIATE ACTION ON EITHER
John Konosky Awarded Contrac t
for Remodeling of Section of
Detention Hospital.

The city council wrestled with the
old questions last evening. The Milan
| bridge proposition was hauled off the
shelf and buffeted about. and the Cen
trail Union repeating ordinance was
taken off the hook and used as 4 mis-
sile by the individual members. Both
were finally dropped to be taken up
later.
AID. McCaSlrin was responsible for
the beginning of the trouble in both
cases. When Aid. White reported that
the bridge committee had nothing to
report and would ask for further
time AID McCaskrin arose and asked
what had become of the report of
City Attorney Scott he was instructed
to prepare some months back upon
plan for the city to escape the re-
sponSibility of ownership i'm the Milan
bridges.
MIR. Scott stated that he had inveS-
tigated The matter somewhat and
that he had arrived at the conclusion
that the city can divest itself of the
troublesome structures by serving no.
ticc upon the townships of Black
Hawk and South Rock Island and the
county that il will no longer be re-
spunsible for their maintenance.
Then, in the opinion Of Mr.. Scott, the
townships would become responsible
under the general law and if their
combined resources would not suffice
to maintain them the county could be
compelled by mandamus to furnish
whatever additional amount of money
was required for the purpose.
Ownership Not Perpetual
Mr.. Scott said there must be some
manner in which the ownership of
the bridges can be ishifted, for it is
ridiculous to suppose that the city
has bound itself perpetually in the
matter. He reminded the council,
however, that there is a suit pending
in court which may decide the
whole question. This is the one in
which the village of Milan is seeking
to recover 500 in tolls paid by the
village government and collected, it is
contended, illegally. 1t was further
pointed out to the council that +. II.
Caldwell and r. L. Little, who are pc
titioning for the franchise to cross
