company was not fulfilling the condi-
tions of the ordinance providing for
the pavement of the avenue between

walton in front of his property that

larities were found, TO remedy them.

MANY TOPICS
TALKED over
Merger of Rock Island Club
and Business Associa-
ton Discussed.
RATING BOOK SEPARATE
Plan Will Be Considered at Meeting
Friday Evening-Meat Markets
to Close Sundays.

A meeting of the board of directors
of the Rock Island Business Mems 60
sociation was held last evening at the
Office of Rating Secretary Charles
Golf. The directors approved of the
new constitution and bylaws drawn
for the association by a committee
consisting of Mr.. Golf and r. w. La
mont, and decided to recommend their
adoption as a special meeting which
the organization is to hold at Maths
hall Friday evening. At that time the
name of W. H. Thoms will be placed
before the association to succeed w.
c. Maucker as the representative Of
the grocers' association in the board
of directors.
Sunday Closing of Meat Markets.
Agitation was started last evening
towards securing the closing of all
meat markets in the city on Sundays,
and it seems that the desire to do this
will be very nearly unanimous among
the proprietors of such places, This
will require all meat purchases to be
made Saturday.
- ulSCUSSiOu VI the street SpT1h h
ling problem also took place last ev.
ening, and it was decided to bring the
matter to the attention of the entire
body of merchants Friday evening.
The plan is to request the city to pur-
chase a sprinkling wagon for use on
Second avenue and Twentieth street.
where a continual laying of the dust
is imperative if the stocks of the
are to be kept in the best
condition. The street car companys
sprinkler is at work, but is unable to
devote as much time to the down
town district as the merchants feel
they need.
May Consolidate.
There is a movement now on foot to
the Rock Island Club and
the Rock Island Business Mems asso-
ciation, as was done in Moline. The
scheme is not to merge the two COM
pletely, but 10 unite them as far as
possible and still allow the merchants
o retain a separate organization for
he purpose of handling their rating
sheets. The matter will probably be
discussed at a meeting of the Business |
Mems association Friday evening.

tive is not question Of single ac-
ton only. but of permanently bene-
fetal effects, which will follow proper
efforts to live in healthful way, with
the assistance of Syrup of Figs and

The combination has the approval
Of physicians because it is known to

It for many years past.
