STATUS OF COKE BINS
TOLD COMMISSIONER

City Attorney Johnston has investI-
gated the legal status of what consti-
tutes coke bin, and has notified Com
missioner Eastman that any structure
of four walls, whether it has a roof or
not, is building" Hence, the action
of the Moline Pillow company in erect
ing coke bins inside the fire limits
without first obtaining permission of
the council, a move opposed by prop
erty owners in that vicinity, which is
located near the Burlington tracks at
the plant, seems to be contrary to au-
thority. The building ordinance spe-
officially says that mo wooden build
ing shall be erected within the fire linn
its except as herein provided" which
is afterward defined to mean by con
sent of the council No consent has
yet been obtained, but the lumber for
the buildings is on the ground, and il
looks as if the bins were going to be
put up anyway.

BIG BASEBALL DAY

The East Moline Baseball associa-

80. 81 and Sept l. An effort is being
made to have teams from Davenport,
WATERFOWL and Moline participate. AL
ready tue Brunswicks of Davenport
have signified their willingness to take
part. In all probabilities the Moline
Tigers will be secured as the star at
fractions, since there is keen rivalry
between that nine and the East Moline
diamond artists. Two games have been
played between the-two teams this
season resulting in a victory apiece
The Silvis team has not met the East
Moline boys this season, and it is said
a match between the two would prove
interest.
