NUMEROUS PROPOSITIONS TO
COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL

Numerous matters of more than or
binary importance are likely 10 attract
the attention at tonight's meeting of
the city council. among these the plac-
ing of the telegraph and telephone
wires under ground in the business dis
trict, the shore line park project and
the storm drain. All these subjects
will come upon the recommendation
of Mayor McCaskrin. AS matter of
course. both the river front and the
wire propositions may be expected to
receive the endorsement of the coun-
Gil
The storm drain will. if the mayor
follows the course indicated at form
er meeting. be brought before the
council by him. in the form of reso-
luton ordering that the contractors OF
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1905-05-29

their bondsmen either put the drain in
shape according to the specifications
or that it be condemned as a nuisance.
AS to the feasibility of this plan, The
Argus has only TO repeat what it said
at the time the mayor announced his
purpose to present such resolution
that the matter is one that should be
thoroughly considered before any &C
ton of any kind is taken.
The job is of such a VIGOROUSLY
fraudulent character that aldermen ma
turally shrink from having anything
to do with it.
The members of the council. prob
ably realize as fully as anyone that a
city official who would favor such a
thing as a compromise with fraud
would dig his own grave.
