DECIDE TO WORK
CITY PRISONERS
Vote at Council Meeting This
Morning Stands Three to
Two on Project.
WILL CLEAN THE STREETS
Opposition of Reynolds and Rudgren
Keeps Them From Being Put on
Sewer improvements.

Different ideas were presented by
members of the commission this
morning as to working city prison
ers on municipal improvements,
when Mayor Schriver offered a reso-
luton to place some of them at work
on sewers and streets. In offering
the measure for action, ihe stated
that a sewer on Twenty-sixth street,
between Fourth and Fifth avenues
was in need of repair and the sewer
account has not the funds to COM
plete the work. He said that the
proposed scheme was an experiment
and that inasmuch as there is no
money in the fund to do the work.
there could be no conflict with hon
est labor. He stated that five to
ten men would be all that ever
would be at work.
REYNOLDS is OPPOSED.
Commissioner Reynolds said that
he was and is utterly opposed to con-
Wet labor, no matter in what depart
ment of municipal work it is carried
out, and that he is against the city
of Rock Island establishing a prece-
OSHI III putting PAAoOAOAo ~
work.
Commissioner Hart objected to
putting them to work on sewers, be-
cause there might not always be
enough to complete a job, once it Is
started, though he is in favor of put
ting them to work on the streets, as
it will save money in that depart
ment and do work that otherwise
would not be done because of lack
Of funds. Further it will keep the
Weary Willies from Rock Island,
which is one big point to view.
WANTS A ROCK PILE.
Commissioner Rudgren favored put
ting them at work on nothing but
one big rock pile, where they will be
obliged to really work Amending
his motion, Mayor Schriver eliminat-
ed the sewer department clause and
the new resolution to work the pris-
oners on the streets was carried
three to two, Rudgren and Reynolds
voting in the negative.
Therefore, city prisoners who can
not pay a fine will be put to work
in the streets of the city.
