HAVE SOLUTION
FOR ANNEXATION
Some of South Rock Island
Property Owners Present
Plan to Commission.

At an informal meeting OF the city
commission this morning solution Of
the South Rock Island annexation
problem was offered and it seemed to
meet with the approval of the COM
missioners. The plan is one that has
been advanced by part of the proper
" owners of tract just south Of
Eighteenth avenue and between TWEEN
ty-fourth and Thirtieth street. 1t con-
templates using state statutes which
would permit any part or parcel of a
township to vote to detach itself from
the rest Of the section and petition for
annexation to another township.
There are certain tracts in South Rock
Island the owners of which are favor
able to annexation and once these
tracts begin coming it, it is felt that
the remainder would not be long in
following suit. AS soon as tract has
been annexed, the city will furnish il
, with water mains and sewer and event,
ually afford it better street car facili-
ties.
That South Rock Island in its en-.
tirety has not Joined Rock Island is
due partly to the opposition of a very
few men and to q general misunder
standing of the privileges and obliga
tons such action would entail
