OPEN ROCK RIVER
BRIDGE DAY EARLY
New Kind of Flooring Is Laid
More Rapidly Than Was
Expected.

Such good progress has been made
in refiooring the Rock river bridge
that Commissioner Clark Anderson
states that it will be thrown open to
traffic Saturday. II was closed Mon
day and the announcement made that
it would not be reopened during the
week.
A little more than half of the floor
will be replaced at this time and the
balance will be attended 10 in the
spring. Planks used fer the new floor
are all to be treated at the government
Milan. This establishment closed Nov
Is without finishing the job and will
not resume operations till spring.
The floor is something new. 1t is
believed that there will not be another
of the kind in this part of the coun-
try. Oak planks IS feet in length, Az
inches wide and 21a inches thick are
being used. They are laid on the
steel Orders on edge, giving floor as
thick as the timbers are wide. No
fastenings are used. and so the planks
are not split and opened for water
and air to enter and start decay. The
creosote will not only protect against
rot, but will also keep insects from
boring into the timbers 1t will re-
quire $500 planks to lay the entire
floor.
The old floor was laid eight years
ago and was in bad shape, particular
ly on the south side, where the sun act
ed more directly upon the sloping sur
face. The relaying operations were
begun at the south end.

MAYOR ORDERS PUNCH
BOARDS ELIMINATED

Punch boards have been knocked
out in East Moline. II was called TO
the attention of Mayor Goodwin that
boys OF tender age were spending their
pennies and nickels in bucking these
games of chance and so an order was
issued to the police to put stop to
them. Owners of cigar and candy
stores and pool halls where they have
been used were given a reasonable
period in which to close out the de-
vices on hand and instructed to start
no more.
