MOLINE

Fourth Avenue Paving Approved
Acting on the theory that the genera
| benefits of the entire community are
/ greater than the actual burden on
property owners against whom the as
sessments will be levied, the board OF
local improvements yesterday con
| tirmed the plans for paving Fourth
avenue from Thirty-fourth street east
to Fffty-fifth street. A resolution
was also adopted providing for the
paving of F'irty-fifth street north to
connect with East Moline pavement
at Second avenue in that city. The
estimated cost is SOS. 6s9.40.
Close Call for Drunken Man.-An-
drew Thompson, a local character who
spends nearly all of his money for
booze, and divides the majority of his
time between the Moline police sta
ton and the county jail, was struck
by Rock Island switch engine at the
Twelfth street crossing. Thompson
was drunk at the time, and as is usual
ly the case with drunken man, he
escaped serious injury. A pedestrian
found him lying along the right OF
way and communicated with the po-
lice. At first it was thought that
Thompson was dead. but when he ar
rived at the police station he proved
to be full of life. His left shoulder
was dislocated and a physician was
summoned to dress his injuries.
o
contract was awarded yesterday to
AxeI Carlson to erect a factory build
ing in East Moline for the Moline
Pressed Steel company, recently or
ganized by Fred A. Lundahl of this
city with a capital stock of $4,000.
fully paid. The plant is to be located
on ground acquired in East Moline,
just west of the Root & VanDervoort
plant. The building will be of brick,
and Of the saw tooth type of construc-
ton, with gravel roof. The contract
price is approximately $1,000. Work
is to be commenced within 10 days
and completed within 60 days. The
desire of the company is to start man
ufacture of parts" which it proposes
to place on the market just as soon
as possible. These parts will include
implement seats and tanks, hoods,
etc. for automobiles. The building
will have a width of 100 feet and will
consist of three 20-foot teeth. The lot
acquired IS 465 feet long and addi-
tional 20-foot sections may be added
to the main building as business is
developed till this entire tract of
ground is occupied
