BROOKS BOULEVARD
FOR STREETS NAME

Rock Island, ILL.,, Oct. 2S.-Edito-
Argus: Why not call the new Seventh
avenue boulevard, Brooks boulevard /?
The following reasons seem sufficient:
1. w. E. Brooks, with his father,
was the second owner from govern
ment of the tract from Thirty-eighth
street to Forty-sixth street. east and
west and from Fifth avenue on the
north to the Indian boundary avenue
on the south. This property was
bought May, 1886.
2. He was liberal and progressive
in his views, having donated to the
city the present site of Longfellow
school and also a lot to Augustana
college on Forty-siXth street.
8. He with S. W. McMaster laid
out and plated Seventh avenue from
Thirty-eighth to Forty-sixth streets.
4. With prophetic eye he saw 4
great future for the city of Rock Is
land and laid out this street 100 fee
wide so that in time it might become
a grand boulevard.
5. He was one of the original pro
mOteTs of the and heavy stock holders
and one time director of the Rock /;
land and Moline city street railway.
6. He was an active partisan il

An open window at the front of the

thought that the burglars had secured
the lamp from the kitchen, and were
about to begin a search of the house
when they were frightened by hearing
Mr.. Anderson in another part of thu
building. Supposedly the lamp wa.
dropped to avoid detection, and it fel
