MOLINE MENTION

III -
Again the annexation of certain ter
ritory known as Smith & Whites ad-
dition, Whites addition, Moline Heights
addition, Park Ridge and Lincoln
| Heights in South Moline, is being
preached and it is TO be hoped that this
time it will be success. This is the
third time that the movement has been
put on foot and it may prove TO be the
charm which. however, remains TO
be seen. For the past week. petition
has been circulated among the pro-
perty holders in the various named adj
| ditions. and il seems that it has met
with general favor. The promoters
are very much encouraged over the
movement and are confident that it
will carry this time.
c. Arthur Brown, the chemist from
Chicago, has arrived in the city and is
conducting a third test of the water of
the filter plant. Mr.. Brown, like the
other chemists who have seen this
plant, speaks very highly of it and
thinks the water to be very good. He
came here from Danviille, ILL.,. where
he has been conducting test of the
same kind. Miss Louise Dewey, an eX-
lpert bacteriologist from Urbana, is
with him and after the test is COM
pleted here. she will make a compari-
son of this water with the water
drank at Danville.
Public school teachers of the city are
I,
each other. To that end they have de
cided to hold a picnic at CampbelIs

teachers meeting was held Wednes-
day after school and the plans were
made for the affair. The teachers will
leave about ) p. m. and take supper at
the island, returning in the evening.
Prof. White was made a committee
of one to arrange for the cars. Some
will take basket suppers, others will
=. depend upon the resort restaurant.
They say there is a veritable free
vaudeville show in the vicinity of Six
teenth street and Ninth avenue, but
there are so many sides to the incident
that ii would take a column or more to
explain it. Since Sixteenth street was
paved there has been more or less
trouble over a small triangular spot
decided to the city by c. S. Candee for
park purposes at Sixteenth street anC
= Ninth avenue. Certain property. hold
ers want a sidewalk cut through, in
line with the east Sixteenth street
, sidewalk, that is a continuation south
of that sidewalk from Eighth avenue
while others are against it. Yesterda!
