FAVORS A CHANGE
IN water PLANT

Rock Island should by all means
have waterworks commission"
Charles Mclean, late editorial writer
for a Dubuque newspaper, told Mayor H.
NJ. SChriver this morning. The may
or at the meeting of the Fifty Thous-
and club Thursday night called for
expressions from those present as to
the wisdom of securing a waterworks
commission for Rock Island. AS the
matter was one with which Rock Is
land had had no experience the gen.
tlemen present were reluctant to re-
spond.
Dubuque" said Mr.. Mclean, "es-
tablished municipal ownership of the
water plant in 1900. For a period of
six years following the transfer of
/ the water plant to the city, municipal
ownership was not successful but for
the past six years the administration
of the water department has been a
model. Positions on the commission
are as highly valued as membership
on the board of education, the park
commission or the library board. The
management is completely removed
from the field of partisan politics
Trustees serving satisfactorily are
continued from administration to ad
ministration, regardless of the result;
of the municipal elections. The city
council has nothing whatever to dc
with the administration of the util
ity- The water board certifies the tai
fer water purposes and the council
makes the levy accordingly. A stric
discipline is observed with regard Il

for a moment think of parting witt
