VOTES BONDS FOR
INTERURBAN ROAD
Rock River Traction Company Also
Will Make Charter Cover Sys-
tenn of 1874 Miles.

Yesterday at Geneseo the Rock Riv-
er Traction company voted to amend
its charter to include interurban lines
from GeneseO TO Princeton, from Gen
eseo to Kewanee and from Prophets
town TO Morrison. The original char
ter called only for a line from Rock
Island TO Sterling via Geneseo.
A bond issue of 100000 was au-
thorized. This issue is expected to
provide for the building of 124 miles of
road and will be issued in blocks to
cover certain sections of road
The first section to be built will be
from Rock Island to Geneseo, for
which bonds not to exceed $4,000
will be issued. There are already
many applications for these bonds.
Work on this one section, it is author

ASKED TO VACATE
City Council Appealed to by In
dUstriaI Commission in Drain
age Assessment Matter.
ROLL WAS ILLEGALLY MADE
Affidavits Presented in Support of Con-
tention That Proceedings Can
Not Hold in Courts.

At the meeting of the city council
last evening the Rock Island Indus
trial commission explained its Objec-
lions to the assessment roll of the No.
storm drain district. and particularly
against the 50-acre tract held in trust
by F. G. Young as factory sites. and
petitioned the council TO instruct the
city attorney to vacate the assessment
and begin anew the proceedings in the
drainage case. Members of the In
dustrial commission and some of the
property owners interested in the as
sessment We're present. and the objec-
lions and legal grounds on which the
petition was presented were fully eX-
planned. The council will hold an ad-
journed session this evening, when &C
ton on the petition will be taken.
Through GROSS Neglect.
L. H. Guyer was the first to address
the council, and he presented the petit
tion that the assessment be vacated,
and new proceedings taken. Mr.. Guy
er reviewed the manner in which the
tract of land was turned over 10 Mr..
Young, and explained the connection
of the Industrial commission to the
assessment problem. The petition itself
contained the objections to the assess
ment, which Mr.. Guyer enlarged on
later in his remarks. He explained
the necessity of prompt action, in view
of the fact that there are at the pres
ent time some dozen factories which
may be secured for the city. but which
will be lost if the commission can not
act at once in the negotiations. One
factory has already been secured, and
has material here for the erection of
buildings, which when completed viii
represent an outlay of over 100000.
He stated that all the men composing
and connected with the Industrial COM
mission are in favor of the sewer

1T GOES To DOVER
Washington Advices State Pow
der Plant Will Not Be
Placed Here.
PROTESTS HAVE EFFECT
Advantages Also Lacking at Rock Is
land ArsenaI-Year at Local
Establishment.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE war de-
partment has selected a site for the
government powder factory for which
congress appropriated $165, 900 at the
last session, in Dover, n. J. The plant
is to be one of the finest of its kind
in existence Rock Island. Ill, was
also thought of in this connection. but
General Crozier, chief of ordnance, af-
ter considering all advantages and dis
advantages of the two places, fixed
upon Dover as the most desirable site.
The foregoing Associated Press dis
patch this afternoon brings news that
will not cause extreme regret on the
part of Rock Islanders.
The better facilities credited to the
eastern city, it is understood, consist
of a larger field for a proving
ground and better water for manufac-
turing purposes. These facts, taken in
connection with the numerous protests
that have been sent to Congressman
Mckinney from the three cities seem
to have settled the issue. 1t is said
not single letter favoring the locat-
ing of the factory here has come to the
hands of the congressman.

from persons asking the department
TO permit them to contribute funds for
the purchase of presents to meet the
requests sent in to Santa Claus. Such
a procedure could not be contemplated
