tIon shall not apply to street railway

Ing Of It's cars thereon; and, provided
further, thai nothing in this resolution
shall be construed as waiver of the

ries and bridge, SO acquired and with
in five miles of their corporate limits.
Within Five Miles.
BY an act of the general assembly,
approved and in force May 5, 1879, au-
thority was given to cities to give or
acquire by purchase, lease or gift, and
the corporate limits or at any point
within five miles of the corporate
limits. This act especially provided
said ferries and bridges should be free
from tolls and free to the public. BY
an act of the general assembly, pass
ed and in force May 25, 1881, the act
OF May 5, 1879, was amended by add
ing a proviso to the first section, that
where any city or village has become
or is the owner OF any toll bridge or
ferries, and is keeping up and main
tanning the same by authority of law.
all ownership and right vested in such
city or village shall continue in and
be held and exercised by them and
they may from time to time fix the
rate Of toll.
On June 16, 1891, the general as
sembly amended the title of the act
of May 5, 1879. by adding thereto;
also to construct, improve and main
tain roads outside of their corporate
limits. This was again amended by
the act of June 16, 1891, so as to en-
oh o. nj
townships in building, constructing
and improving ferries, bridges and
roads outside of their corporate limits.
The last session of the legislature
passed a law which was in force June
9, 1909, authorizing cities to donate
toll bridges to the county. This was
an enabling act to permit the city of
Rock Island to give over the bridges
at Milan to the county.
Toll fs Illegal.
Under the general laws of the state
no city is permitted to charge tolls. ex-
cept that it owned and controlled fran
chise rights prior to the adoption OF
the constitution OF 1870, and this only
by reason of an amendment to the act
of 1879, which was evidently passed
for the benefit of the city Of Rock Is
land. AS the city of Rock Island Sc
cured the rights in the first place
through private grant to the Rock
Island & Camden Plank Road COM
pany, this amendment, approved in
1881, seeks to perpetuate that which
the constitution of 1870 seeks to ex-
pressly prohibit, towit: Rights secur-
ed through private legislation.

NO POLICE CHIEF
IN CITY--NOT YET
But Alderman Charles Borst
Still Insists That There
Shall Be One.
MAYOR HOLDS THE BERTH
Council Orders Investigation to Show
Whether There Is Actual Saving
by Executive Doing DHty.


Seventh ward, who has been cham
pioning an agitation among his asso-
ciates in the city council to per-
suade the mayor to appoint a chief
of police, for the third consecutive
meeting reopened the question at
the session of the municipal body
of last evening.
ct would like to ask the mayor"
the alderman said, eff he is ready to
present the name of some desirable
person for confirmation by this coun-
Gil as head of the police depart
ment."
mo, SIR" replied the mayor.
"Why?" retorted the alderman.
you know my reason" was the
answer.
Thereupon Mr.. Borst offered a mo-
ton, which the members of the coun-
Gil concurred in, that the police and
finance committee and the city Cl. k
be instructed to investigate the Iec-
ords and present a report at the next
meeting of the council showing what
saving, if any, there has been to the
city by reason of Mr.. McCaskrin
serving in the dual capacity of mayor
and chief of police.
Saving City Money, Says Mayor.
The mayor has taken the view
that he is in position to look after
the duties of head of the police de-
partment; that it is one of the i'm
portant branches OF the city govern
ment, and as he is, as mayor, the
responsible chief, even though he
place another there to act for him,
he prefers to personally direct the
work than to entrust it to a subor-
dinate.
Alderman Borst charges that the
city is not policed as it would be
we're there a man devoting his time
exclusively to the work of the de-
partment He holds that the city
is too big to allow it's affairs to be
conducted so loosely and that mas
much as there is no general demand
from the taxpayers that he ever
heard of for the economizing in the
direction adopted by the mayor, he
is insisting that there be an active
head of the department.
Emergency Ordinance Passed.
The council passed an emergency
ordinance, presented by Alderman
Frlck, to provide funds for the pur-
chase of 900 feet of new hose for the
fire department. The expense will be
$3.50, and it will be met by appropria-
ton in the next annual allotment OF
funds. The clerk was instructed to
advertise for bids for furnishing the
fire hose, which the department is
badly in need of.
Alderman Charles Thompson intro
duced a resolution. which was adopted,
instructing the clerk TO notify the Bur
lington railway to Immediately install
gates at the crossing at Nineteenth
street between First and Second ave
nues.
1t was reported that the call for bids
for the painting of the Rock river
bridges had brought no response from
contractors. 1t was therefore decided
to postpone the improvement until
next spring.
The ordinance for the paving Of
Thirteenth avenue for a distance of
500 feet west of Twenty-fifth street
was brought up for final consideration
and it was defeated by unanimous vote
of the aldermen. Several of the prop
erty owners addressed the council in
opposition to the improvement at this
time.
