JUNK man STILL
HUNTING FOR SITE
Jan. 1 Slips By and Charles
Brady Has Not Moved
His Yard.
NOW WHERE is HE TO GO!
That Is the Question That Is Pre-
venting Definite ACtion-Past
Time for Decision.

Is Charley Brady moving his junk
yard from Fourth avenue near Six
teenth street as per orders issued by
the city commission several weeks
ago when his junk yard was declared
a nuisance? Not so you can notice it.
Following petitions by. residents re-
siding near the Objectionable plant,
the council ordered the owner to seek
out another location and move by Jan.
L. 1t was thought that ample time
was afforded him in the action. But
apparently there was some miscalcu-
lation somewhere, for Brady still in
tests the locality, and will probably
continue to do so till somebody jumps
on him with both feet.
CANNOT MOVE.
The owner sought out a location
which he declares is most suitable to
his needs, leased it, informed the
commission of the move. Thereupon,
property owners residing near the To-
cality which had been procured, Ninth
street and First avenue, entered a pc
tition with the city commission fight
ing any movement which VIC I'D put
the junk yard in their vicinity and
aid in the obliteration of things beau
tiful there. Brady was SO informed
and was ordered to place a counter
document with the city officials. That
action was asked two weeks ago and
it is still on the way.
TO HELP FIND SITE.
Though no definite action has been
taken concerning the failure Of Brady
to comply with the councils action,
it is probable that he will have to
move fast or suffer the consequences.
1t is further probable that some will
come to his aid and put him where
his business will not be entailed by
poor location or where his plant will
be Objectionable to residents.

ACTION IN SPECIAL SESSION
Delayed Till Today Because of the
Absence of Commissioner Rud-
gren Yesterday.

For the purpose Of transacting i'm
portant financial affairs, the city COM
mission held a special session in the
council chamber this morning, with
all members present. Chief among the
items before the commission was that
for a loan of $4,000 from the five
banks of the city, this amount being
thought sufficient to carry on the f.
nancial end of the city's affairs till
the end of the official year The res
olution, presented by Commissioner
Rudgren, was adopted unanimously.
The State, Rock Island Savings, Rock
Island National, and Central Trust &
Savings banks advance loans of $4,000
each and the remainder comes from
the Peoples National bank This is
the third loan of the same amount in
year, and one of them was paid off
! from the saloon license funds recently.
| The resolution adopted this morning
| provides that the amount is to be paid
| from the tax collections in the spring.
QUESTIONS FILTER EFFICIENCY.
| When resolution was presented by
Commissioner Rudgren for the pay
ment Of S3,2S9.50 to the Pittsburgh
Filter company on its bill of $500,
Commissioner Reynolds offered the
only dissenting vote, and gave as his
reason the doubt as to the efficiency
of the filter plant and the wisdom of
making payments till its efficiency is
assured. He says that too much alum
in his opinion, has been used, and till
he is certain that it is not the fault of
the plant, he will be against making
payments on the city's indebtedness.
$4,000 TO GAMEWELL COMPANY.
To apply on the original debt OF
S11,25O due to the Gameweu Fire
Alarm & Telegraph company, the com
mission allowed the company $4,000.
A former payment of $4,000 was made
by the commission and the balance
falls due this year. The old council
under whose direction the system was
Installed, agreed to pay $4,000 last
year, but that was not done. and the
burden falls on the commission.
TAKE UP WATER CERTIFICATES
The commission passed a further
resolution providing for the payment
OF s3,375 TO the First National bank OF
Chicago for interest and principal on
water certificates which were issued
by the city several years ago AND
which are made payable to the Chicago
banking institution.

In that terse statement the head Of

lives near a Long View street car
track, and chances are that the COM
panies that have to do the work will
be so informed. How the company
can expect to do the work without
having to tie up traffic at some time
or other is a question, and as long as
traffic must be tied up the city and
everybody concerned is for having
the work rushed right now.
