RAISE A BIC sum
TO Revive LOAN
And HOME WORK
Total of $334,700 Is Secured in
Remarkable Canvass Up to
Date.
TO CONTINUE CAMPAIGN
Hope to Reach Half Million Dollar a:
Association Can Release $500
Month.

Speaking of enterprise! Moline
has more of it than a town twice its
size. Last week the Greater Moline
committee started a campaign to raise
$4,000 to add to the $4,000 subscrib-
ed by Deere & Co. and thus bring the
amount up to 100000 for use in re-
viving the Moline Loan & Home as
ISOLATION. Al the luncheon today the
committee in charge of the work re-
ported that $192,500 had been SUBJ
subscribed up to the present time.
This amount, with the S117,200 out
standing, and the $4,000 of Deere &
company, brings the total amount up
to S334,70O.
1t was decided to continue the can
wasting for another week and set the
mark at a half million dollars. With
100000, in the treasury the associa-
ton will be SO situated financially, as
to be able to loan $1,5OO every month.
COLONA BRIDGE.
The Colona bridge matter was re-
vived at the meeting today and the
sentiment of those present was to
continue the fight for the construction
of the bridge and prevail upon the
board of supervisors to appropriate
this county's share and have the
mandamus proceedings brought by
henry county withdrawn. At the last
/. ing of the supervisors, an at
ten pt was made to have the board
pass a resolution in favor of the pro-
ject, but the cry OF ''too poor" went up
twenty strong and nothing came of the
matter.
AFTER THE HOSPITAL.
G. A. Shallberg was appointed to ap-
pear before the board of directors Of
the Augustana hospital and present
the claims Of Moline to have the pro-
posed new building erected in Moline.
The matter was discussed at length
and everything possible will be done
to have the institution established in
this city.
