d history Of the park movement in this

donation, of the Fourteenth avenue

suggesting a short way of getting hold
of the rebate to use it for the buying
of equipment for n childrer's play

planned that the city clerk. to whom
the street car company had turned
over the $557 rebate due the property
owners OF the bluff section on account
of its having laid some additional

Mr. Jackson advised the association
to follow the advice of the city clerk
in whatever he thought was necessary
for himself, he couldn't see
why the donation should not be made
after the property owners had been

Important Railway Propositions

At least two important railway
propositions will come before the
council Monday night. One of these
will relate to the Belt line, in which
connection, Hugh Curtis will explain
to the aldermanic body on behalf Of
the project more fully the plan and
progress of the public spirited enter
prise which promises so much for the

ment of Rock Island, while Mayer
Levi on the part of the Industrial
commission will have a report bear

in facts and figures which. will set

was due the council to have thor

The company had a proposition from
this city also, it having been made
through the Rock Island Industrial
commission.
A site was offered In the west end
factory district, and all conditions de-
manded by the concern were to be
met here. The Marseilles company Is
an auxiliary of Deere & Co., and the
chief argument advanced in favor Of
the East Moline site was that It would
bring the plant closer TO the main in

this city.
Ten Acres in Site.
The factory is now doing business
at MarseiIles, III. It manufactures
corn shelters and other agricultural
implements The East Moline site
consists of 10 acres. The property
was bought by the concern of the East
Moline Land company. but the price
is not given. One of the conditions
was that 100000 of the preferred
stock Of the Marseilles company
should be subscribed. This amount
has been taken in Moline and East
Moline. Another demand was for the
paving of Fourth avenue, Moline, 10
Thirteenth street, East Moline. the
location of the main building Of the
