Mayor of Situation.

In spite of the warnings given by
Superintendent Gaetier and the park
beard, the vandalism that kas pre-
vailed in Long View park of late,
continues and last night even worse
deyradaiions chan heretofore were
committed. As & result Superintead-
ent Gazetteer has determined to take
drastic measures, and The park Will
be cleaned out at 10 O'Clock each
night, and plain clothes officer will
be placed on duty with Instructions
to arrest any person who abuses the
privileges of the park
EGGS Are stolen.
For some time superintendent
Gaetjer has been saving the eggs of
the fancy ducks and geese which are
maintained in the park and has been
! preparing to set the eggs and raise
| new lot of birds The eggs. of
! course are rare and of considerable
value. He had about 100 on hand
/ and they were i'll boat in enc of the
lakes. This morning when he went
1 to the park he found that the lock
! on the boat had been broken. and
/ that all but three of the eggs had
been stolen.

Mr. Gaetjer took the matter up
with the mayor this morning with a
! view to having plain clothes officer
/ put on duty in the park The park
board has authorized Mr.. Gaetjer To
take any means he sees fit to stop
the vandalism, and if necessary the
park funds will be spent to protect

Il simply won't stand for such ac-
lions any longer" said Mr.. Gazetteer
this morning. I'VE have worked hard
to give the people of Rock Island a
park to be proud of. and that vandals
should undo our hard work is a
shame. I'm going to put an end to
it. I'll take a shotgun and stand
guard if necessary. Our warnings
Through the newspapers do not seem
to have done any good. Now well
take other measures ----
The superintendent has been as
sured the cooperation of the mayor
and the police department in the
