ASPHALT FOR RENEWAL
OF WORN OUT PAVEMENT

Mayor Knox in his annual report
recommends the investigation of the
use of asphaltum for the renewal of
worn out brick pavcments which are
showing upon numerous parts of
Rock Island. He recitcs the fact that
this plan of mcnding worn out road
ways and making thempractically new
has been successfully followed out IN
other cities, proving both cheap and
eminently satisfactory. This sugges-
ton from the mayor is a good one
and should be taken up by the coun-
ell and given the attention it's inn
portance deserves. Some are of the
opinion that asphalt will not prove
sufficiently durable on the particu-
lar streets where the pavement is
most worn, and others contend that
placing a layer of this material upon
the present pavement Will raise the
grade higher than il should he, but a
thorough Investigation of the expert
ence of other cities in these respects
will not be costly and will serve to
settle all doubts.
But we want no patchwork. The
surface should be entirely covered if
asphaltum is to be used.

departments has been brought about

quist formerly lived, and where he
has been under arrest n number OF
times on the same charge.
The warrant was served by Officer
Bowes, of the Rock Island force, and
the prisoner was released on his
promise to appear before Magistrate
Johnson, in this city, for trial yes
terday afternoon ut , o'clock.
When the time for the hearing
came, however. Malmquist failed tn

tinued in up till this afternoon, the

ing failed to bring the alleged wife

stances would tend to- make the lat

Clair several months ago secured Il
divorce from her husband. but the
latter has since that time continued
to occupy the same domicile with
her. although without denying her
superior right To the premises. This
state of affairs finally led to unplcas-
antness, with the result that Mrs. St.

When the case was brought to u
trial before Magistrate Johnson late
this afternoon the charges were dis
missed.

SHACK BURLINGTON HAS
BUILT OPPOSITE PARK

The city administration is coming
in for no end of criticism for permit
ting the erection of the cheap little
make-shift of an office the Tri-City
Transfer & Fuel company is putting
up on the depot grounds of the Bur-
lington road south of the Twentieth
street passenger station. There is a
general protest going up against the
building of such a fiimsy structure in
such a conspicuous place and those
who voice the circumstances have
reason for their stand.
In the first place it is out of keep
ing with the spirit and the nature of
the improvements that have been
made by the railroad company, being
neither ornate nor lasting. 1t is par
ticularly offensive in that to make
room for it one end of a fence de-
signed with the single object of pro-
noting appearances has been torn
away Then the tendency on every
hand is to improve appearances in all
parts of the city, organized efforts
being made by citizens to that end.
The liberation of anything contrary
to this spirit by the administration
constitutes a positive offense against
the law of progress. The location,
too, being opposite Spencer square,
the most carefully cultivated spot in
the city. aggravated the case.
The understanding was when the
Burlington gave permission to the
company to erect the office, that the
latter was to be built according to
plans prepared by an architect and
made to correspond to the passenger
station design. 1t was also intimatcd
that brick would be used in its con
struction. 1t is doubtful, indeed,
whether the members of the council
fully underst God the wording of the
petition by which permission for the
building was given. In that instru-
mcnt the material was described as
frame covered with brick pressed iron
front" which when read undoubtedly
led some To understand that the Of
flee was to be vcnccred with pressed
brick.
This, however, does not furnish a
valid excuse for permitting the cree
tion of the building as it now stands,
and the administration should and
will be held strictly responsible for
this latest violation of tenets of
beauty

ALEDO LINE ASKS USE OF
TRI-CITY RAILWAY TRACKS

The latest talk in connection with
the proposed street railway connect
ing Aledo and Rock Island is that a
proposition has been made to the Tri-
City Railway company for the use of
the lattcr's tracks from Milan to this
city. Crossing Rock river has proved
the most serious proposition that has
presented itself to the promoters of
the proposed line and by joining
forces with the Tri-City Railway com
pany this would be simplified and the
great expense of building lines
through the streets of Rock Island
avoided.
