Once again the vice president re-

admission. When he spoke it was as

MOLINE

Put Merger Up to Peopie.-Moline
aldermen in session as a committee
of the whole, voted to take no action
on the resolution favoring a merger
of Moline and East Moline. They all
expressed themselves as favoring the
resignation of one of Moline's four
commissioners-to be elected April
Ain favor of a man from East Mo-
line. and satisfactory to the people of
that city. East Moline aldermen, in
vited to attend the meeting for joint
discussion with Moline aldermen Of
the merger resolution, did not attend.
Their attitude in the matter is that 1t
Is up to the Moline council TO take the
initiative in the matter; expression
of Moline aldermen is that they should
not have ignored the invitation, that
in a joint discussion lay a possibility
for adjustment of differences. Some OF
the commissioner nominees have said
that, regardless of their individual de-
sire in the matter, they cannot enter
into an agreement to resign in fair
ness to their constituents. 1t has
been suggested that the matter be
left entirely to the people. Whether
such a plan as has been suggested is
feasible, or whether 1t will be at
tempted, has not been decided. The
suggestion is that petitions be placed
in circulation asking for vote of the
people on the merger proposition.
Bank Promotes Shallbere.-Robert
Shanberg was given recognition by
the directors of the Peoples Savings
Bank & Trust company. when he was
named assistant cashier of the insti-
tuition. Mr.. Shallberg entered the en-
ploy of the bank in 1905 as messenger,
