MOLINE

SeVen-Mile SeWer.-The East Moline
board OF local improvements has de-
cided to accept the estimate furnished
by City Engineer H. G. Paddock on the
proposed extension of the sewer system
in that city. Oct. was named as the
date on which directors will be heard
at the city hall, East Moline. 1t is not
thought any objections will be made.
| w. G. Baker is the attorney appointed
to send out notices and prepare the
| assessment roll. Engineer Paddock is
| of the opinion that the improvement
contemplated by East Moline will be
the largest individual sewer expansion
job ever executed in Rock Island coun-
ty, improvements made in Moline and
Rock Island not excluded. The esti-
mated cost of the new East Moline
sewer is $4,000 and its length will be
seven miles. Moline has made some
big sewer and water main improve
ments, an example being the five and
half miles of piping which was laid
on one contract in the Sixth ward, but
the East Moline job will be the largest
section of Illinois.
New Addition on the HiII.-An-
nouncement is made of deal in SUBJ
urban realty whereby Charles e.
White, superintendent of the Deere &
Mansur company plant, becomes own
er of a hilltop tract containing Sc
acres. paying $4,000 to Daniel Gordon
for the same. in making the deal,
White is associated with two other
local men whose names are not d.
vulged at this time. Mr.. White held
an option on the property for year
and had Intended to take it over alone. |
but later decided to let the others in.
The tract is bounded on the west by
Twenty-sixth street, on the south by |
Seventh avenue, on the east by about |
Thirty-first street, and on the north !
by the alley between Thirteenth and |
Fourteenth avenues. In reality it is |
five blocks long and three and half |
blocks wide, but maps of the bluff dis |
trict do not show this. as Twenty |
eighth and Thirtieth streets do not |
continue that far south. Mr.. White |
says: II have had the tract surveyed |
and levels run. We are ready to grade |
1t and intend to lay out streets and |
alleys, preliminary to plating it and |
opening it next spring as an addition. |
Lots will be put on the market just as
soon as the Fourth avenue car line ex- |
tension is completed"
