ries and bridges, 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
to maintain ferries and bridges within
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 %, 1881, the act
Of May 5, 1879, was amended by add
ing 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-
able cities ito donate money to aid
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
g, 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 is 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.

charged or collected for the passage of
any animal or vehicle, other than
street cars, across said bridges or any
Of them. Provided, that this resolu-
ton shall not apply to street railway
cars, and nothing In this resolution
shall be construed as waving or re-
leasing the Tri-City Railway company
from its present contract to pay for
the use of said bridges in the operat-
ing Of it's cars thereon; and, provided
further, that nothing in this resolution
shall be construed as a waiver of the
rights of the city of Rock Island to
control and manage said bridges as it
may deem proper.

Free to Public Today.

Today, for the first time since the
branches of Rock river between Sears
and Milan were spanned back in the
early days, you had the privilege of
driving over this route in or out of
the city without the payment of tolls.
Your old friend who greeted you at the
little house on Vandruff's island is out
of a job. The Rock river bridges are
free to the use of all who may care to
use them as an avenue of egress or
ingress. The city will maintain the
bridges by general taxation. This is
the import of the resolution passed
without a dissenting vote at the meet
ing of the Rock Island council at its
regular meeting of last evening. AT
ter the resolution had been presented
by Alderman H. ]. Prick and adopted,
Alderman G. L. Schmid offered an or
dinance repeating the ordinance Great
ing the office of tollgate tender and
providing for the collection of toll.
The rules were suspended, and the re-
pealing ordinance was Immediately
considered, and it was passed by unan-

NO POLICE CHIEF

Still Insists That There

MAYOR. HOLDS THE BERTH
Council Orders Investigation TO Show
Whether There Is Actual Saving
by Executive Doing DHty.

Alderman Charles BorsC CT the
Seventh ward, who has been cham
pioning an agitation among bis 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
were there a man devoting his time
exclusively to the work of the de-
partment. He holds that the city
is too big to allow its 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
Frick, 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.
It was reported that the call for bids
for the painting of the Rock river
bridges had brought no response from
contractors. II 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.

BRIDGES over ROCK RIVER ARE FREE
To THE PUBLIC BEGINNING TODAY

the Rock Island club. H. E. Casteel
was spokesman for the committee. He
reviewed the agitation for the removal
of the public tax at the one entrance
idea is obsolete" Mr. Casteel said.
The collection of toll at these bridges
should have been abandoned years
ago. Furthermore, for years this city
Illegally has been taxing people cross
ing these bridges. It's a situation that
needs heroic treatment in view of the
activity of our neighbors at the east
and north. Moline business men have
raised among themselves $4,000 to
build a macadam roadway into the
country at the south. This highway
wiA intercept every avenue whose nat
ural course is into the county seat.
The charging of toll at our bridges is
a detriment to business here. Let's
wake up before we are bottled up
S. w. Searle spoke briefly on the gen.
eral demand for the removal of the
toll tax at the bridges.
S. R. Kenworthy, who was employed
by the business interests to investigate
the legal status of the Milan bridges,
reviewed the history of the bridges
from the date of their construction to
the present time. Mr.. Kenworthy adj
vised against any move that would
tend to put control of the bridges in
the county board of supervisors. The
city should continue in the ownership
of the bridges, for they afforded the
one opening to the city from the ru-
raj districts. He presented figures to
prove that the people Of Rock Island
would save more in reduced prices on
farm products than would make UP
the few thousand dollars collected an
nually in tolls.
Buys From Plank Company.
The Rock Island & Camden Plank
Road company, sometime prior to Feb.
%, 1859, sold its property and fran.
chises to the city of Rock Island and
doubt having arisen as to the power of
the city TO purchase, the general as
sembly, by an act approved Feb. %,
1859, passed an act legalizing the sale
by the company to the city. BY the ex-
press terms of the preamble and sec
l. =
took the place of and stood in the po-
sition of the Rock Island & Camden
Plank Road company. In 1867 the city
determined to maCadamize the road
and on April %, 1867, the general as
sembly passed an act authorizing the
city of Rock Island to build and main
tain a macadamized road, instead of a
plank road on the line and within the
limits authorized by the charter of the
Rock Island & Camden Plank Road
company. This is all of the legislation
Mr.. Kenworthy was able to find prior
to the adoption of the constitution Of
1870, which prohibited special legisla-
ton. BY an act of the general assem-
bly,, approved May %, 1877, enforced
July 1, 1877, power was given cities to
acquire by purchase, lease or gift, and

Making Good at Football

Doe" Cornish, son of pr. P. G. Cornish, idol of the local foot ball fans last year, and almost as we'll and widely known for his baseball playing here, has made the freshman football eleven at Yale. Doe" is some player, and if he keeps up at this rate will un- doubtedly make the Varsity eleven there before he graduates.
 Cornish played end and quarter for the University team all last year, and played fast, heady game. While yet not as heavy as some, he is all there, and can cer- tainly play the game. Doc" also appeared to be able to take the hard knocks last year, and has probably not lost the ability. Al buauerque Journal.
