COUPON SYSTEM
WILDE TABOOED

To protect their customers as we'll
as themselves against securing infer
Tor goods through the agency of the
coupon system, the Rock Island Re-
tail Grocers' association last night
appointed H. LANCE and A. P. Dehr
as a committee to await on salesman
and jobbers before the wholesalers
attempt to put goods on the market
through the coupon system. This
committee will investigate the ar
ticle offered and if they find that it
is of sufficient merit to warrant it's
sale, they will report as much to the
grocers. If otherwise, the article
will be tabooed. Recently the cou-
pons have been used to place all
sorts of articles before the public.
The grocer must be supplied. Often
times the stock that he purchases is
left on hand after the coupons are
exhausted.
INSTALL OFFICERS.
At the meeting last night the Of.
ficers elected at the last meeting
were installed. They are as follows:
President-Fred H. Boetje.
Vice President-E. H. Clements.

junction to restrain him from selling
LIQUOR having been fled in the circuit
court, and several charges pending
against him in the county and justice
courts. Billburg continues to defy all
orders Of the city officials, and from
his attitude today, 1t will not be sur
prising II he still persists in doing
about as he pleases. Each move on
his part TO, thwart the law will be eff
faced by a counter move on the part
Of the mayor, it is said, for the mayor
is determined to put an end to condi-
lions such az have existed in the past.
MERRITT A PARTNER.
According to a contract recently
brought to light, Merritt is conduct
ing the saloon on % per cent share
basis, while Billburg, the real owner,
receives the remainder Of the profits.
Hines, the other member Of the trio
that was arrested last night, is a bar
tender in the place.
SMITH IS sTUMPED.
Since the order of city officials fol-
the closing of barrooms on Sundays
Charles Smith, police magistrate, ha;
declined to hear any of the cases. To
day when the change Of venue wa:
taken from c. J. Schroeder in his owl
sanotum, he could not refuse to TAKE
the case, as in his own Office he wal
the nearest justice OF the peace.
AGAIN ARRESTED.
This afternoon the three abov,
named defendants were again arrest
ed, this time by Sheriff o. L. BruneI
who held warrants from the count
court, where information charging ther
with selling liquor without a hcens
had been filed by the states attorney

FURTHER time IS
GRANTED BRADY
Junk Yard Proprietor Says
That He Wants to Move
but Cannot Now.
mo SUITABLE LOCALITY
All Too Far From Business Center
Too Cold to Make Change
Now, Anyhow.

Asserting that it was not his inten-
ton to thwart the mandates of the
council commission in regard to the
removal of his junk yard, but his ina
bility TO Land a new and suitable loca-
ton, Charles Brady. proprietor OF the
Junk yard on Fourth avenue, west OF
Sixteenth street, yesterday asked for
a little more time il the final dispo-
sition of his case. Learning that his
faith was good on the matter, and
that according to his statement he is
making every effort to get another
site, the council was inclined to grant
him further time. Though nothing
definite was promised, he was told
that he might have a short period
tackled onto his order to move so that
he could shape things in such way
that his business would not be
harmed.
WIFE Is BOSS.
| Because Of the objection of FRS
avenue property owners to his re
moval to the river site east of Mint
street, he has abandoned that projec
and Is hunting for another place. HI
has looked at several places, but the,
have not suited his wife, who, he says
controls the Brady pocketbook. i
addition to securing place that vii
answer the purposes Of his business
he must find a home that suits hi
family. The factory district is to
far from the business center, an
though it affords other facilities, h
cannot overcome the difference cause
by its remoteness.
WINTER POOR TIME TO MOVE.
Winter, he says, is a poor time I
move for everything is frozen an
cannot be taken away now. Brad
has a five year lease on the prese1
site, two years of which have expire,
He explains that removal will mea
; monetary loss to him because I
l that.

WANTREBATESON
WATER MOTORS
Property Owners Object to
Paying for Them When
They Are Not in Use.
METER is ONLY SOLUTION
Council Defers Action on Telephone
Petition and Transacts Other
Business.

Because of too frequent appeals to !
the office of the city clerk for rebates
on water rent through the statement |
of property owners, that they are not
using water motors that are installed
in their homes and for which there
is an assessment of $3.50, Commits
sioner NJ. T. Rudgren offered reso-
luton asking that Commissioner
Jonas Bear look into the matter in an
effort to find a way out of the dilem-
ma that has presented itself. The
case of ]. c. Simser, ex-alderman, has
been taken as a test case and accord
ing to the finding in this matter,
other cases will be settled. Time
after time, property owners state that
the assessment is unjust because the
motor is not in use The same is true
OF sprinkling faucets.
METER THE REMEDY.
Mayor Schriver stated that in his
opinion the water meter is the rem
edy. 1t will not be for the number
of rooms, closets, barns, horses, fau-
Gets, ETC., that there will be assess
ment then, but for the amount of
water that is used. In cases of double
houses, the landlord can arrange the
piping to suit his convenience within
the house.
TELEPHONE PETITION.
The initiative petition of the Union
Electric Telephone and Telegraph
company having been filed Dec. 16,
the mayor brought the matter Of call
ing an election before the commits
sion. AS the necessary 80 days did
not expire till today, it was deemed
advisable to delay calling the election
till the next meeting. In the mean
while the city attorney will be con-
suited as to whether it is necessary
to call a special election or to incor-
porate the question at the time of the
township election in April.
