SMALL TOWNS SUFFER.
. "Geneseo is out of ice and Aledo
will be before Monday. We have in
quiries from 25 small towns around
here for a supply and could sell all
we have on hand for So a ton on the
cars. However, We propose to look al
ter our customers first.
Conditions are due to the extremely
hot summer coming after a winter in
which the harvest was poor. Few of
the local dealers we're able to store
as much ice as they usually do. Hot
weather not only increases the con-
sumption, but it increases the loss
from melting in storage"
Two other local dealers, who are
buying their supply. admitted that
there was possibility that they might
be compelled TO cease deliveries, but
said they hoped to be able to supply
at least part of their customers
through the season.
Moved by the scarcity of ice this
summer a number of local concerns
which have been using large quantities
are preparing to install artificial cool.

sued In Moline.
WITH GRADUAL DECREASE

What is it going to cost me If
every one of the bond propositions
put before the people next Thursday
at the special erection earliest"
This is the question the average
property owner in Rock Island may
be expected to ask himself whep he
begins to consider how he is going to
vote. And it is a question that he has
a right to have answered In order to
arrive at a correct conclusion as TO
whether the cost is going to exceed
the benefits.
The six propositions call for an in.
crease in the city's bonded debt OF
10000 OF this sum $4,000 will be
charged against the waterworks and
will be paid out of the net earnings
of the plant, just as the other genera
waterworks improvements have beer
paid for. There will be no increase
in water rates. Under this head thu
taxpayer will get better service an,
better fire protection at once withou'
one cent of increase in his expenses
FROM GENERAL FUND.
The other s51. 900 will be paid TO
from the city's general fund during
period of years. In other words,
will be met out of the city's revenue
from taxation, the sale Of licenses
etc.
The proposed fire station, costin
! $4,000, will be paid for during
period of eight years: the police alarI
system, costing $4,000. will b
settled for in 10 years; the refloorin
OF the Rock river bridges with COZ
crete in five years, and the athleti
field, costing $4,000, in eight year

interest each year for the fire static

ed to the city's fixed expenses for an
average of about eight years.
What does this mean to the tax
payer?
Total assessed valuation Of Rock
Island city property is now s6,2s9,117.
This figure will be increased material
ly each time there Is an assessment.
Additions already annexed to the city
will at once add several hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars and prospective
additions should still further increase
It.
BUT 1.3 MILLS ON DOLLAR. !
But we will assume that the assess
ed valuation were but 100000 and
that all the city's revenue we're derived
from direct taxation, which of course
is not the case. A tax Of $4,000 levied
against 100000 worth of property
would amount to 1.3 mills on the dol.
lar, or approximately 13 cents for each
800 assessed valuation.
Thus, 10 cents for each 800 assess
ed value will be the average yearly
payment. At first 1t will be a little
more and after the middle of the
period during which the bonds run 1t
will be less. Anyone who knows the
value Of his property upon which
taxes are computed can easily figure
exactly what his share OF the expense
will be.
1t Is possible that a way might be
found, If no bonds were issued, to
skimp in other directions and make
some of the desired improvements
| anyhow. But If that were done we
would be expanding the city's cash for
the benefit of posterity. Under the
bond plan the citizens of the future
as well as the present who receive the
benefits will pay for them.
CAUGHT IN PINCH.
Moline furnishes just now a strik
ing example Of a penny-wise policy
1t has but recently been found that
the city's fire protection is below
standard and heavy increase In fire

FOR ADEQUATE NAVY.
Senator. Elect Broussard Urges Enact
ment of House Measure.

Senator-elect Robert +. Broussard Of
Louisiana, vice chairman Of the National
Defense League, declared last night that
the opening of the Panama canal and the
consequent increase in American trade
made it all the more necessary that an
adequate navy should be developed by
this country and that Congress should
pass the naval bill with the provision for
two new battleshps. He said:
while l am an advocate of world
peace and arbitration. and would gladly
welcome the day when arbitration set
ties all disputes between nations, that
time has not yet come. Until we have
universal arbitration our country should
be prepared to defend its honor. it's pos
sessions and it's ocean trade from possible
attack. Therefore we should have an
adequate navy.
I'VE are not powerful enough on the
sea to overcome any possible adversary
Even laying down two battleships an
nually the United States is not keep
ing pace with British and German, and
possibly Japanese, naval expansion. and
is. in fact, under our present policy, retro
grading to the position of a second-rate
naval power.

DREDGING THE DOCKS.
Coal Company Preparing for Spring
and Summer SHIPMENTS.

In preparation for the coal-shipping
season the docks of the Consolidation
Coal Company at Georgetown are being
dredged to accommodate the large barges
and possibly a schooner or two that will
load there during the coming spring and
summer. 1t is stated that the depth of
the docks will be made equal to that Of
the Georgetown channel. SO that vessels
that can go up TO Georgetown for a
cargo can load and get away on any tide.
The work is being done by machine
used to unload sand and gravel laden
lighters and the dump scows on which
the excavated material is loaded take
it behind the sea wall on the Virginia
side of the channel and dump it.
While nothing definite is known, ii is
understood that the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal will open for navigation early in
March and that the loading of the big
barges of the Consolidat ton Coal Com
pany will be started in April.
Coal is sent from this city TO Boston.
Providence, Portland and other cities in
New England.
