EXCURSION TO RAISE
FUNDS FOR PATROL
Police Committee of City Council to
Ask People to Help Purchase
New Equipment.

The police committee of the city
council has set out 10 raise funds with
which TO purchase a combination auto
patrol and ambulance for the use of
the police department. Davenport and
Moline both are equipped with one of
these modern conveniences. The cost
will be about $4,000. The city is with
out funds with which to purchase the
auto, and it has been decided to go to
the people for the money, giving diff
feIent entertainments as a means to
raising the same. A steamboat excur
sion has already been suggested, and
the committee is now negotiating for
the rental for an evening of either the
J. S. or the w. w. The plan is to ex-
coed the usual charge made for rides
on the river and in this manner give
the new patrol-ambulance fund a good
boost at the beginning.

Judge Olson's address is all the
more significant inasmuch as he is a
