South of the Rock River
Bridge.

Improvement Of the, road leading
across the sand hill south of Rock
river has been begun by the city and
will be carried on as long as funds

missioner Anderson states. The sand
on the hill has furnished serious
obstruction to travel and the hill has
long been bugbear for motorists. The
plan for its improvement is simple
one. Black dirt taken from nearby
will be put on the roadway in the hope
that it will work up with the sand and
bind it into compact surface. Two
teams are at work hauling the dirt.

POLICE OF {. MOLINE
NEED PATROL WAGON

East Moline is too large a town to
be covered by two policemen without
any means of locomotion more speedy
than those that nature gave them.
That is the complaint that has been
made a number of times lately by the
day force and the alternative up to the
city fathers is to increase the force
or to purchase a patrol wagon or
motor. Often, it is said, complaints
are turned in from a remote quarter
of the city and before an officer can
walk to the place the trouble makers
have escaped.
