Wilson calls on the next legislature,

BOSTON. Mass, Dec. 9.-To the
Christian Science church, the source
from which 1t came, goes the bulk of
Mrs. Mary G. Baker Eddy's estate
which inclusive of copyrights is valued
at a million and half. This part of
the estate which will be about one
million under the terms of the will
is to be devoted to the propagation Of
the faith of Christian Science. These
are the terms of Mrs. Eddy's will:
After many small bequests the church

erty of which they were making un.
due use.

Rock Island, IN, May 16.-To the
Honorable City Council of Rock Is
land, Il.-Gentlemen: 1 hereby have
the honor to present,to you a summary
Of the last municipal year. First, let
me say that wish to- compliment your
honorable body for your earnest eff
fort to make this business admins
tration, and successful one. This
believe you have done. There can be
no great work carried out where har-
mony does not prevail in every branch
of an institution, and l am proud to
say that it has prevailed throughout
the year here. The fact is that the
records made in this brief period Of
one year by you stand as an evidence
that 1t was the greatest and most pro-
gressive year in the history of the
city Your course in so doing has re-
ceived the united commentator of
the progressive spirited citizens in our
midst
With the knowledge that we all have
of the finances of our city. when we
began this year with depleted treas
ury, made so by the preceding admin
istration which shouldered a financial

company to rebuild and reconstruct
the same, and further, your final adop-
ton of an ordinance making it manda-
tory that a separate fund be created,
when all revenues from this source
be kept in a fund not 10 be used for
any other purpose This is a step in
the right direction. l believe that each
department should be kept in it's own
distinct channel and not robbed for
some other department, leaving it in
depleted condition. as oftentimes is
done.
The claims presented against the
city have been taken care of, except
ing the claim of the Seventeenth street
sewer, which was mistake shoulder
ed. upon US from the preceding admin
istration. In fact, the city was never
more free from suits against it than
at the present time. This is greatly
due to your earnest effort in protecting
the citizens and the taxpayers from I'm
necessary litigation which usually re-
suits disastrously to the city in the
end.
Increase I'm Saloon Revenue.
The income of the saloon license
from $500 to $500 per year will in
crease our revenues from $4,000 to
$4,000, which will aid materially to
carry on the running expenses of the
several departments of the city this
year.
Another important step has been
taken up by the city in the revision
and publication of the ordinances that
have accumulated since 1903. 1t has
been practically impossible to get along
on account of the difficulty of getting
access to these ordinances. and much
credit is due to this committee and the
city attorney. in getting them in read
mess for publication to date.
The parks have not been lost sight
of, and the park board, together with
the committee have labored to a sue
cess during the past year, and now,
with the acquisition of a new park in
the eastern part of the city, we are
nicely arranged for the future.
- The direct interest of F. C. Denk-
mann and Miss Sue DenkmaRn to-
wards this feature of civic beauty
should and does receive the highest
commentator for their action. The
Denkmann square. when complete, will
be a thing of beauty in a locality
where parks and Fairgrounds work an
unmeasured benefit to the children
now and in the future.
The fire department, as you will no
tice by the annual report of the chief,
will show that out of 40 fires there is
but a loss of property in the amount
of 1900, which is very low as COM
pared to the preceding year. The de-
partment is thoroughly efficient in ev-
cry particular, and the citizens should
certainly congratulate themselves upon
the work of this department during the
past year.
1t now remains for the council to

burden in overdrafts upon us, making
it well nigh impossible to operate the
city, we should therefore congratulate
ourselves that we could accomplish as
much as we have for the advancement
Of the city's interest.
improvements Under Way.
While the work during the year has
consisted of much preliminary work
in preparing and completing plans fol
proposed public improvements, l am
happy to say we have a number of large
improvements under process of con
struction, and others will follow this
coming year.
My first reference will be made to
the department of health. We have
now health board, created during
the past year. and its work has gone
far beyond the expectations of those
interested in creating such a board.
This you will note by reference to the
report of the health commissioner in
corporated in the annual report to be
published.
We have also been successful in the
adoption of the proposition at the last
municipal election for public tuber-
culosis sanitarium," which will be TAX
en- up as public necessity and pushed
to realization during the coming
year. Thanks to the public for it's in
terest in the welfare of the health of
this city in the future.
The police department has success
full record in every particular. l have
the highest respect for, the committee
and officers in discharge of their du-
ties and their kindness to me during
the last year.
The city has, believe, the cleanest
record in years, and if you will give
the attention to the detailed report
hereto attached covering the many
items that enter into this department,
you will find this to be true. This de-
partment has saved $1,000 and with
less number of officers than the pre-
ceding administration.
For Auto Police Patrol.
I shall recommend to you that at
once steps should be taken to purchase
an automobile police patrol and ambu-
lance combined This can be done
this year, and If done viii keep pace

Need of Filter Plant.
The waterworks department, under
the supervision of the superintendent,
closes a most successful year, In that
the council has finally been able to
adopt plan to build a new mechanical
filter for the city and thus give the
consumers pure, clean water. The
failure to provide this necessity for
tie citizens has cost this city probably
a net increase of one-fourth of it's
present population. Now that the con-
tract has been let and under process
Of construction, 1t remains for this ad-
ministration to see that 1t is completed
and carried out according to contract
1t will In all probability be completed

water mains have been laid during the
year, and it is to be hoped that the
council will be able to provide means
to run a main down Twentieth street
to connect up Second, Third and
Fourth avenues to afford complete fire
protection for the business district.
The street department has likewise
made additional arrangements for the
coming year which will greatly assist
them in their work. The superintend-
ent presents a report which covers
under the embarrassing condition fl.
nancially that he was compelled TO

lions of those in charge, and now, with
