New Boilers for Waterworks-As a
result of the visit to Moline Of Dabney
Maury, consulting engineer, decision
has been reached as to the type of
boilers and CRATES to be installed in
the made-over Moline waterworks.
Commissioner Jahns and Mr.. Maury,
after careful investigation of models
and types made in American factories,
have agreed that the two 75-horse
power water tube boilers now in use
at the municipal plant shall be re-
placed by two 200-horse power water
tube boilers of a standard description.
Installation of these two new boilers
will nearly triple the present boiler
efficiency. Mr.. Maury located several
desirable sites for the proposed new
standpipe in the bluff district and the
commission, in ordering purchase of
property for this purpose, will be con-
sierably influenced by the expert en-
gineer's recommendations.

Patriarchs Win Prize-Patriarch
Militant of Canton Moline, to the num-
Der of 33, have returned from the state
meeting in Galesburg with $35 in well
earned prize money to their credit.
Wednesday was the most brilliant day
of the whole session and when it
came time for the dress parade the
chevaliers from Moline were the most
conspicuous set of men in the half
mile line. The prize won was for
having the largest delegation of any
canton ii the state in line. Canton
Moline won a similar prize in 1911,
when the annual department council
was held in Peoria. At that time there
were 36 chevaliers from the Plow City
in the procession.
More Curb Lights-Sixteenth street
between Third and Fourth avenues
and possibly for another block south,
is to be decorated with ornamental
cluster lamps. Owners of property on
Sixteenth street have already signed
for the improvement between Third

that the lights will be installed within
a fortnight. A movement is under
way at the present time for the extel-
sion of the project along Third avenue
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets.

serves will be Quartered in a $4,000

working upon this feature ever since

the year, and has worked out plans

idea of the commanding officer to
, erect this structure for the use of
