SlLVIS BOARD IN
FAVOR OF BRIDGE
Adopts Resolution Favoring
Erection at Colona Site on
Rock River.

Strong resolutions were adopted by
the Silvis board at its meeting last
evening in favor of the immediate
erection of the proposed bridge across
Rock river at Colona. The county
board is urged to submit the matter
Of a bond issue for bridge purposes to
"a vote of the people, If other means
of raising the money cannot be de-
vised. After the preliminary state
ment of fact, The resolutions say:
BE it resolved. by the people of
Silvis, through their representatives
on the board of trustees: That the
supervisor and assistant supervisor
of this, the township of Hampton, be
instructed to use their utmost en-
deavors to induce the board of super
visors of Rock Island county to raise
the proper fund by bonded indebted
ness or in one of the many other ways
possible. andStha. said supervisor and
assistant supervisor be further in
structed to vote for a measure before
the coming meeting of the board OF
supervisors, requesting the states at
tcrney of this county to withdraw
Rock Island countys objections to the
mandamus proceeding now pending
before the circuit court of this coun-
~. which mandamus proceedings were
filed by Henry county
One of the trustees, in discussing
the resolution, said: Rock Island
county has no bonded Indebtedness
and is not in financial straits, contrary
to the general impression. If the super,
visors are not willing to finance this
matter otherwise it is their duty to al
least submit the question of issuing
bonds for bridge purposes to the PEG
pie"
Judging by sentiment expressed by
members of the Silvis board they are
wiling that the county should take
| Milan, provided the Colona bridge is
| built.
An ordinance for the paving o.
Fourth avenue from Eighth to Tent
streets with brick was passed. This
with the proposed paving of Eighth

NO ACTION is TAKEN

Who is entitled to the salary as
mayor of East Moline for the last
three months of Dr. g. F. Johnsons
term? That is the question which the
city council must soon decide.
At its adjourned meeting last night

! three months before that time, to send
the salary for the period o. else ac-
| cept his resignation dated at the time

not resign and during the time he was
away Grant Fair acted in his place.
| While City Attorney Railsback is of
the opinion that the claim of DIR.
Johnson will stand an case the resig-
nation is not acc opted as he suggests
/ he also holds that if the records are
arranged so as % show the city was
without mayor certain Improvement
and other ordinances passed during
the period will be invalidated. The
council took no aeon on the matter

Five years ago when the Contra
Union company secured a franchise

that with the growth of population
