new LIGHTS FOR
THE HIGH SCHOOL
Electric, Globes of 40 Watt
Power Distributed Freely
About Building.
ARE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
Telephone System Between Rooms Il
Installed and Prismatic Glass
Placed in Windows

During the summer number of i'm
provements have been instituted in the
high school building, many Of which
are now nearing completion. Perhaps
one. of the most important Of these
is the installation of an improved cleo
trio lighting system and switchboard.
A fire proof slate switchboard set in
steel cabinet has replaced the old
wooden one, which was put in when
the lights were first installed and
which was liable at any time to be
the source of fire in the building. In
fact it did take fire the night of the
annual class play this spring, but that
fact did not become known to the spec
tators at the time.
Lights have been placed in the corrr
but the lighting of the assembly room
has undergone probably the greatest
change. On the stage are now sixteen
lights OF 40 watts power, eight of
which are overhead and four on each
side: heretofore this has been lighted
by four 16-candle power lights. The
lights suspended from the ceiling have
been raised, the number increased and
lights of 100 watts power inserted. 8.
TO DISTRIBUTE LIGHT.
Prismatic glass has also been insert
ed in the east windows in the assem-
lily room. This will not only prevent
the light from falling too intensely on
certain portions of the room, but will
carry it farther across the room and
disseminate it more thoroughly.
TELEPHONE SYSTEM INSTALLED.
Private telephones have been placed
in all session rooms, twelve in ali hav-
ing been inserted. This makes it con-
venient for the principal to keep in
touch with all departments and will
be a great aid when he desires to make
an announcement to the school without
taking time for a general assembly
The students who had to double UP
en- a locker last year will appreciate
the fact that 6S new lockers have been
purchased and placed in the building,
so that now every student may have
an individual locker. AS all the room
in the halls was taken, they were At
Up in the landings. Dining tables have
been supplied for those who are oblig-
ed to bring their lunch with them.
BUILDING RENOY ATEO,
Another thing very important from
sanitary standpoint is that the entire
building is being renovated, the desk
tops have all been taken off and re-
finished, and all the rental books have
received new covers. Everything Is to
he in first class condition when school
starts, and the environment is to be
as cheerful as possible.

the Sum of $500.

court charging Officer John Kinney
of the police force with assault and
battery and later in the day The Of
ficer appeared before Judge R. w.
Olmsted and entered into recogni-
zanee in the amount of $500. The
complaint is the outgrowth of trou-
BILE which occurred before the justice

which was duly chronicled in The

the justice had words together and
after the latter became insulting in
the opinion of the former, he was
arrested and taken to Jail. The
charge against the justice was dis
orderly conduct but the case has not
been heard because of what Justice

error made by Magistrate C. j.

venue.

AGAIN ASSERTS
BILL NOT VALID
Commissioner r. R. Reynolds
Wants Telephone Ordinance
Re5cinGed.
MOTION LOST HOWEVER
Cannot Secure a SecOnd-If Illegal
There Is No Need of a Spe-
cial Election.

Asserting that the Central Union
Telephone company ordnance which
was presented TO the city council
several weeks ago by the company,
had not been legally passed and
that therefore no action had been
taken, Commissioner Robert r. Rey-
holds at the adjourned session of the
commission held yesterday after
noon, offered two resolutions to re-
ject the ordinance. Both motions
were lost for the want of a second.
1t will be remembered that the or
dinance contained a maximum rate
clause, the privilege of purchase of
the Union Electric Telephone plant
in Rock Island. for which the city
was TO receive $1,000 and a clause
providing for telephone lines and
connections with the rural and
farmer lines.
PASSED IN SHORT ORDER.
The ordinance was presented in
June and laid over under the rules.
Finally on June %, the commission
and representative of the company
held a session and changes and
amendments were made in the docu-
ment. This was done at a meeting
Of the commission as a committee
of the whole. June 30. it was vot-
ed 70 consider the ordinance July
s it was passed by a vote Of four
to one, Reynolds voting in the mega
tive.
The commission law says that any
ordinance or franchise must be on
file in its completed form with the
city clerk for a week previous TO
passage. Commissioner Reynolds
maintains that II was on file only
six days in completed form while
the remainder OF the commission are
in doubt. It is necessary to-furnish
proof that the ordinance was on file
seven days or from June 29-in its
completed form. II is no longer a
question Of law but a question of
proof in regard to the matter. A
I5-minute recess was taken yester-
day 10 allow City Attorney J. F.
Witter time to look up the matter,
but he could find no proof in the
minutes OF the clerk
NO NEED OF ELECTION.
The question is an important one,
for should Commissioner Reynolds
be right in his assertion that the or
dinance was not legally passed, an
election on the subject would be flu
tile and a waste of money. Should
the other members of the commission
be right, an election would be nee
essary in order to legalfze the action
of the council. The petition which
was filed with the city clerk to call
an election brought the matter up
for discussion. The city commission
does not propose to call an election
If the city IS 10 be forced TO stand
the expenses but will do so If the
interested companies will stand the
expense, which will amount to S3,-
500.
No action was taken one way or
another yesterday. It IS probable
that the Central Union company will
be advised OF the situation and that
