CITY IN NEED OF

Condition of East Moline Is
Pointed Out at Meeting OF
the Council.

East Moline may have a cleaning

which did not really need cleaning.

TO stop plans for the present and il
is doubtless if anything will be done

gued that the barns at the proposed
location would be a detriment TO the

toward that point. At the same time
the lots are too valuable to put to
such use. They will be more suitable

was pointed out.

new lord chief justice:
He possesses all the natural quail

cessor to the great chief justices of
the past. Public opinion, indeed, has
destined him for the place so long

on the bench, when it comes to be
reckoned. will be no less distinguish
