New Power for Aldermen.

Under the. proposed revision sa-
loopkeepers desiring to secure a Ii
cense must file their application and
bond two weeks before they wish to
have the permit issued and the mat
ter must then be taken up and CON
sidered by the license and markets
committee of the city council at the
next meeting. Under the state law
the mayor still has the authority to
issue saloon licenses to whom he
pleases, but this plan will give the
aldermen some opportunity to be
heard in regard to who shall receive
licenses in their respective wards. If
the license is granted against the
wishes of the committee the mayor
will place himself at outs with the
council and accept full responsibility
besides.
An increase is made in the city wa
ter rates, but it will not affect the
average consumer. The rate is only
raised for the consumers who use l,
100000 gallons or over per annum.
and is elevated from 4 to ) cents per
1000 gallons. Several additional steps
in the table of rates have been intro
duced. The minimum meter rate is
81 per month and the fiat rates have
not been changed.

that the concerts at Convent Garden

told that she had been ilisulted

that Miss Y. one of the costumer's as

EASTERN WRITER IMPRESSED
BY ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL

While the middle west as a rule Is
comparatively barren in historic in
terest and presents little to catch the
eve of the traveller passing over its
long levels by train, Rock Island
where part of the country's greatest
arsenal and mandatory of military
equipments was burned the other
day, forms notable exception, says
a writer in the Washington Post. The
person who fails to find something Of
interest in Rock Island must be q
very duh being. First of all. it is
among one of the most remarkable
wonders of the Mississippi talley: hfs
torically it was one of the stations
of the Jesuit priests and Canadian
voyagers on the old route from Mon
treal to New Orleans, then the seat
and center of the Black Hawk war,
the site of old Fort Armstrong, and
during the civil war place of deten-
ton of hundreds of confederate pris-
oners. To the anthropologist the
name arouses interest. for it was in
the Rock Island district that some OF
the most remarkable remains of abo-
riginal man ever discovered in Amer
lea were found; to the zoologist it is
full of meaning on account of its pc.
culiar molluscan fauna, and the civi
engineer remembers that it was here
that the first locomotive ever oper
ated in the territory beyond the Mis-
sissippi was transferred across the
Father of Waters.

important Alterations introduced

Increase OF Municipal Revenues ana
Salaries ForIn 4 Ees-
ture.

Several important changes in the
city ordinances have been made by
the council in committee of the whole
in the process of revision now under
way preparatory to reprinting the
municipal enactments. Nearly all of
the ordinances have been acted upon
by the council in committee and are
therefore not likely to be changed
when they are presented to the body
for final passage next Monday even
ing. Two or three in which consid-
cradle changes have been made. how
ever, have only been passed upon by
the ordinance committee and the
council may make alterations. The
Argus has previously commented up
ON some of the alterations and others
are herewith presented.
In the general elevation of the sal
aries of municipal officers graded
scale is established for the firemen.
The chief will receive $1,000 per an
mum; assistant chief, and each cap
tain, $50. The regular fremen will
be paid at the rate of 5000 per annum
for the first six months with increase
of $50 a year each for the second six
months and for the second and third
years. The fourth year and after
they will receive 1920, the maximum.
If fireman is not worthy of advance
ment at the end of the specified peri
cd it is rendered obligatory upon his
| superior to remove him. There is
nothing in the ordinances to prevent
the mayor from discharging members

DOGS VIII be- q luxury.


The dog tax has been given a pro-
nOunced boost. In the past the tax
has been 81 for male and So for a.
female dog. Hereafter, if the council
acts finally ON the matter, the male
dog will cost its owner So and the fe-
male s. per annum.
Provision is made to establish the
Office of police matron atta salary of
$3.50 a year, the incumbent to be ap-
pointed by the mayor with the APP
prOyal of the city council. This is one
of the matters that has been acted
upon only by the ordinance commit
tee and will probably be closely scru-
tinized by the council as whole.
a regulation that applies with con-
siderable force to members of the po-
lice department has been incorpora-
ted. 1t is to the effect that an officer
found entering a saloon unless in the
direct line of duty or drinking or
gaming while on duty shall be dis
charged. His dismissal is made oblig-
atory upon the mayor upon the pre-
sentation of proof of guilt
Junk yards may not be established
in any part of the city without the
consent of the property holders for a
distance of 800 feet on each side OF
the property it is proposed to use foI
the purpose. They are placed under
practically the same regulations in
this respect as the saloons are.

grant a permit to any citizen to carry

has been done at the request of bust

Among the entirely new ordinances
is one governing the use of automo
biles on the streets. They are pro
hibited from being run faster thar
