Thinks the Bill Enabling Cities to
Adopt Commission Form of Gov

Secretary Charles Golf of the Bust

from Springfield, where he yesterday
attended the meeting of the executive
committee of the association organ
lied to make recommendations regard
ing the commission form of govern
ment bill now before the legislature
and to promote its passage at the pres
ent session of that body. He is con-
f1dent that the measure will be enacted
into law and with such changes as
will make it acceptable to the cities
that hope to avail themselves of its
provisions.
One Of the most important of the
changes suggested in the bill was
reduction of the proposed salaries for
mayor and members of the commission
for cities of Rock Islands class. AS
it stood in the bill the salary for mayor
OF a city between 10000 and 10000
was $4,000, and for commissioners ST.
600. 1t was suggested that the salary
for mayor be changed to $4,000. Cor
responding alterations in other classes
were urged.
A joker was also found In the bill
in the form of the provision for the
registration of voters that was de-
clared unconstitutional in the old bill.
1t was explained that this had been
left in through an oversight.

The ancients succeeded in making
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders of
the world was the famous statue
wholly made of bronze, historically
known as the Colossus of Rhodes. 1t

ty Of the Rhodians. 1t was begun by
Chares, pupil Of Lysippus, the sculp-
tor, and was completed by Laches 2SS
B. G. The popular belief is that it
stood astride the harbor of Rhodes,
that it was 105 feet high and that
ships could easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. 1t was cast on metal plates.

interior was n spiral staircase reach

suspended to its neck were reflected
the coast of Syria and the ships sailing
to Egypt.
After it had stood for sixty-four
years this colossus was overthrown by
an earthquake. and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that IS. until
A. D. 672-when they were sold by the
Saracens to a dealer. The original
cost was 300 talents-about S6,000,O00-

similar image might be constructed
now in one-fourth OF the time and at
one-third of the original cost Rhodes.
