Mayor Schriver Points Out the
Benefits to Accrue From
New Power Supply.
FROM ROCK RIVER DAM
Matter Comes Up in Council Meeting
on Petition of Peoples
Power Company.

That the proposed transmission of
power by the Peoples Power company
from the generating plant in Sears to
the sub-station of the company in
Rock Island would be a boom to the
manufacturing industry in Rock Island
was the statement of Mayor H. NJ
Schriver this morning at the regular
meeting of the commission, when the
matter of extending the right of the
proposed pole line in Rock Island to
the company, was discussed. The mat
ter was brought before the commission
by Commissioner R r. Reynolds, to
whom it had been referred for inspec-
ton and report He stated that he
finds that the proposed line as sought
by petition of the company is the least
Objectionable of any route, but with
his report, offered no recommendation
WANTED CITY COMPENSATED.
He recommends that the company
basket the wires across intersecting
roads and streets. He stated as his
reason for not making any recommen-
dation as to the final disposition of the
matter, the fact that the franchise is
indefinite. He is against granting
the right to the company of transmit
ting power through Rock Island, to be
distributed in Moline and other munich
palities. He maintains that the right is
too valuable to grant without compen-
sation.
POINTS OUT BENEFITS.
F. W. Reimers, superintendent of
the company. stated that the corpora
ton proposed to add to its sub-station
in Rock Island and that the city would
be benefited by che improvement. He
further stated that in the event of the
transmission of power to Moline, a
line along the river would be sought,
thus doing away with the street lines.
He said that already concerns had
planned to use in Rock Island, all of
mitted and that manufacturers had
planned increases because of the pos
sibility to secure cheap power.
ACTION Is DELAYED.
Mayor Schriver offered a resolution
granting the right as per petition and
blue print submitted by the company,
but as there was no second, the resolu-
ton lost. This does not mean that the
other members of the council are
against the action, but rather that
little more time was desired. Further
more, James Weede, representing
property owners between Eight and
Eleventh streets on First avenue, ad-
dressed the council and informed its
members that the owners were against
the improvement because of danger
and the unsightliness. In order that
property owners may have an oppor-
tunity of further presenting their
views, the council laid the matter over
