places without considerable protest on
the part. of numerous merchants who
found themselves hemmed in by the
tents of the attractions. Complaint
was made to the members of the COM

Some of the merchants talked of secur-
ing injunctions to force the shows to
get off the main streets.
The Patterson shows are in the ma
ture OF the old time street carnival
They have the usual list Of curiosities,
and freaks with them,
and in addition there are other shows
such as plantation singers, moving
picture attractions, and the usual ferris
wheels and merry-go-rounds. The en-

week."

PHONE MATTER
over FOR WEEK
Commission Listens to Opinions
of Citizens and Wants to
Hear More.
OFFER FOR PLANT $500, 900
Attorney Asks That City Accept
$500 Instead of SO, 900 De-
manded for Release.

In order that the citizens of Rock
Island may be given ample oppor-
tunity to state their opinions in re-
gard to the telephone situation and
as 70 whether or not they are IN ia
vor OF the sale of the defunct Union
Electric Telephone & Telegraph
company to the Central Union COM
pany, the city commission this morn
ing decided to lay over for consid-
Grafton next Monday morning the
resolution which was presented by
the Union Electric people giving
them the privilege to sell.
The proposition was formally pre-
sented to the council at the session
this morning by C. L. Walker, at
torney for the Union Electric COM
phny owner, Charles L. Bailey, Jr.
Mr.. Walker thoroughly explained to
the council the matter OF expendi-
lures which had been made since the
company came into the hands Of the
man whom he represented. He said
that almost 100000 had been spent
on the plant and that with an immed-
late sale, the owners could realize no
more than half of their investment.
He said that the low rates which
were established were responsible
for the failure of the company to
successfully cope with circumstances
and to give to the people of this city
and the tri-cities, good service. At
the present time, the company is ex-
pending from $1,000 to $500 per
month for maintenance and salaries
to keep the plant in operation with
less than 400 telephones.
OFFER Is 100000.
The Central Union company has
offered 100000 for it and that will
allow the owners to realize some
thing like 40 to so per cent on their
investment. He said that in his
opinion, $4,000 was too much for
of disseminating business and that
II 1t was necessary TO pay Rock Is
land that amount, the same amounts
might be demanded in Moline and
Davenport. He asked that the coun-
Gil consider $4,000.
The passage of the ordinance does
not mean that the company must dis
pose of it's holdings to the Central
Union company but as the PROPOSE
ton of that corporation is the best,
it is more than likely that it will be
taken up If opportunity presents. |
There is a question, 1t is claimed, as
to whether or not the Union Electric
people can be held to the old ordi-
nance under which il operated in the
city.
