aid from some association clubs
1t is said that more than one of the club
owners in the Federal would welcome a

been dedicated to the city for street pur-
poses.
IF the railroads are required to raise
their tracks so as to allow passage under
the tracks at Eighteenth street and Twen-
tieth street, then it becomes thoroughly
practical for Nineteenth street to be
opened UP so as to pass under the tracks
from Morris avenue to Powell avenue.
1t may be necessary for the right of way
through the railroads property to be con-
demned by the city, but the city ought
not to hesitate for one moment because
it would rebound to the benefits of the en-
tire city for all time to come. 1t may be
that the railroads would be only too will
ing to donate their property for this pur-
pose because the railroads are as much
interested in the growth and welfare of
Birmingham as individuals are.
Now is the opportune time for a move
ment to be started for this accomplish
ment, and trust that you and any others
interested in the subject with whom you
may have an opportunity to talk with win
be on hand at the meeting which has been
called.
"As stated before, the entire city is in
terested in this plan, but the owners of
property on Nineteenth street, both North
side and Southside, will be so much ben
Gifted that it is impossible to calculate and
measure it by dollars and cents.
1T has been to my certain knowledge
for the last 27 years admitted as a griev-
Gus error on the part of the Elyton Land
company in having this important street
crossing blocked by the railroads. Yours
truly. r. II. MOTION"

WOMEN Who BEAT
ANOTHER FINED
Mrs. De Vliegher and Mrs. De
Voorde Guilty of Disorderly
Conduct.

Mrs. Julius De Vliegher and her sis
ter Mrs. Melein De Voorde, who were
arrested Sept after a sensational
attack upon Mrs. Van Ate. widow
living near Sixteenth avenue and
Twenty-fifth street, were fined S14.30
today in police court, the charge being
disorderly conduct. 1t is probable
that the complaining witness will al
so swear out warrants for assault and
battery, a state charge. She has been
under the care of a physician since
the assault, she says.
! Mrs. Van Ate was attacked early
in the morning, dragged from her
bed by her hair and beaten and
kicked by the angry women, accord
ing to her story. She had incurred
the i'll will of the sisters by harboring
Mrs. De Vliegher's two daughters af-

SUE TO COLLECT
SMALLPOX BILLS
Prospect Which Faces Holders
of $4,000 Claims Against
East Moline.

Those having bills against East Mo-
line incurred during the smallpox cpl
demic last winter will have to sue to
collect. This is the general impress
sion that has resulted from the turn
ing down of the claims by the board of
supervisors last week. A majority of
the aldermen take the view that if
the county will not pay the bills,
amounting to nearly $4,000, it is up
to the township to meet them. They
contend that bills for cases in the
township outside of the city would
be paid for by the township and that
the city would be compelled to stand
it's share, thus furnishing basis for a
claim that the township should accept
liability in the cases which happened
to have occurred in the city.
The bills are for groceries, doctors
fees and fuel furnished free to afflicted
families while they were under quar-
antine. The city council is expected
to take some formal action with ref
erence to the bills at its next ses-
sion.

ONE DAIRY IN rs
is BLACKLISTED
Inspectors Find Improvement in
Sources of the City's Milk
Supply.

OF the SO diaries furnishing milk
to the city, inspected during the last
few weeks by Inspectors John Wiede-
man and John H Wood, but one has
been found in such bad condition that
it was thought necessary to resort to
the blacklist.
Repeatedly warned that he must
change his methods of handling milk
the proprietor of this one dairy has
always replied that the city of Moline
can't tell him how he shall run his
business and so no improvements have
been made, according to Commission
er E. L. Eastman. Notices were sent
to this man today to discontinue send
ing his product to this city and the
peddler, who has been handling his
milk, was warned that he must cease
handling the supply of this particular
dairy on pain OF forfeiture of license.
While a number of the other dairies
inspected were not in as g>od condi'
ton as they should be it was thought
that all except the one mentioned
would pass muster. Some of thest
diaries are located in Henry county.
AS a result of the inspection eight
peddlers whose licenses have been
withheld till conditions laid down by
the health department were complied
with will be duly authorized to dis
tribute milk in Moline. In all these
cases che suggestions made as to
correction of insanitary methods were
needed and the desired changes made.
