Robert KurtZ Goes to House and Dis
Pipe Flooding Rooms.

Many a family has had the exper-
fence of waking on a cold morning
in the winter to ind that the water
pipes in the homes have been frozen
during the night, and, without think
ing what the outcome would be, has
started a fire in the furnace or other
heating apparatus in the house. When
the home has been heated. the pipes
in which the water has been frozen
burst, as the ice melts> and possibly the
house is flooded with water.
Robert Kurtz resides in an apart
ment of a double house at 1927 Sixth
avenue. Recently there was case
of diphtheria in the other half of the
dwelling and Mr. Kurtz moved his fam
lily away from the danger zone tenn
porarily. Wednesday the quarantine
was lifted and the entire house was
fumigated. When Mr.. Kurtz returned
to his home, he built a fire so that the
place would be warm when the family
returned. After starting the fire he
left. IN a short time his neighbors no.
ticed water streaming from the kit
chen. They notified him at once that
something was wrong and he fastened
home and found that a water pipe had
bursted. He communicated with the
city plumbing inspector, and with F. L.
Yerbury by phone. Mr.. Yerbury was
the first to arrive. He attempted to
stop the flow of water by shutting It
off at the street connection. He dis
covered that the connection was brok-
nd all h.
gushing from the broken pipe and
there was apparently no way to stop
the leak
GETS CAKE OF ICE.
Now nine people out of ten would
stop right there and just let the water
flood the house and the other one
would pause to consider, that is if he
were not too angry to think. Some
would plug the pipe, but many a man
has tried that scheme and failed
Mr.. Yerbury did none of these
things. He went with Mr.. Kurtz to a
nearby store and secured a large cake
of ice and fastened back to the house
Without stopping to secure an umbrel-
la or rain coat to keep the spouting
water off, Mr.. Yerbury packed the ice
around the pipe and again froze the
water in it and stopped the leak And
then he proceeded to patch up the
leak in the pipe.
The work was done in a fifty, and
saved the house and furnishings from
considerable damage by water. Just
as Mr.. Yerbury was leaving attaches

house, only to find that their services
were not required. ..

FIGHT CHANCE IN
MUNICIPAL PLAN
Predicted That Proposition May
Not Garry in Rock Island
at Coming Election.
OPPOSITION Is ORGANIZED
Counting on Indifference of Voters
Who Signed Petitions to Help
Preventing Change.

! One week from next Tuesday the
voters of Rock Island will decide
whether it is their wish that they
change the management of their city
affairs from the prevailing system
to the commission form, as author
lied under law enacted at the last
session of the Illinois legislature.
The special election to pass upon
the proposition has been called by
County Judge R. W. Olmsted upon
the signatures of 1889 voters. The
usual polling places in the seven
wards will be open for the receiving
of votes, and the judges and clerks
, who presided at the November coun-
ty election will be on duty again.
AN ORGANIZED FIGHT.
There is an organized fight on
against the adoption of the new plan,
and there is a question whether it
will carry at the election. This as
sertion is ventured after a conserva-
tive canvass of the situation. The
elements opposed to a change will
make it a point to marshal their
whole strength at the polls. and they
are relying on the Indifference of
those who signed the petitions call
ing for the special election to per-
form their part and exert their in
fluence among their fellow citizens.
The present city administration is
not in favor of a change. There
word has gone forth that the pro-
posed plan should be defeated.
PLAINLY UP TO SIGNERs.
Presumably every man who signed
the petitions addressed to the cOun-
ty Judge is in favor of the commits
sion form for Rock Island. Any
1889 citizens in a community the
size of Rock Island, If they be sim
cere in their purpose, could carry
an election. Therefore 1t would seem
that the responsibility Of the fate
of the proposition to be passed upon
a week hence rests on the shoulders
of these ,8S9 citizens.
There is no excuse for any citizen
who can read the English language
giving as his excuse for failing to
familiar with the new law and what
it's adoption here would mean. The
Argus has published all information
bearing on the commission form, in
Guiding the provisions of the legis-
Iative measure in full, this having
been supplemented by opinions and
observations of authorities in cities
where the new plan has been put
into operation.
SIMPLY BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
The commission form simply
places the control of city in the
hands of a mayor and four commits
sioners, each elected for a term of
four years, and paid adequate sal
aries to devote, as they must under
the law, their whole time to the bus
mess of the municipality The work
is divided in departments and COM
missioner is held responsible to the
taxpayers for looking after the af-
fairs of his department. In other
words, the law contemplates that a
municipality, under the commission
form, shall be conducted with the
same care and attention to detail as
private enterprise.
Whether Rock Island is to have a
change in the plan Of conducting its
municipal business is squarely up to
the citizens to determine.
