CITY WANTS TO
PRESENT COUNTY
WITH BRIDGES
Plan Advanced to Give Away
Five Structures Near Milan
and Sears.
BIG COST TO MAINTAIN
Law Has Been Passed Allowing Cities
to Donate Structures When
Outside Of Limits.

The plan of the city of Rock Island
TO donate its five bridges over Rock
river and Mill creek, in the vicinity
of Milan and Sears, to Rock Island
county was brought up at the weekly
meeting of the city council yesterday
afternoon.
1t seems that it costs a consider
able amount of money to maintain the
bridges and the city feels it has bet
ter place for its cash. H. L.
Wheelan, while in the state legisla-
ture, fathered a special bill, providing
for the presentation to the county of
bridges outside of the corporate linn
its of city, provided the state high
way commission had passed on the
same and declared them in good
shape. This the commission did in
the present instance on April %, and
the only thing that remains for the
city dads to do is to pass a resolu-
ton providing for the change, filing
the same with the county clerk IN
der the state law, the bridges then be-
come the property of the county
whether it wants them or not.
BIT OF HISTORY.
This bridge matter recalls a bit of
( history. Perhaps the average per
son does not know that in 1852 the
bridges were built by what was
known as the Camden Bridge associa-
ton and that in 1871 the city purchas-
ed them. Toll was charged to use
them until as late as 1910 when the
! 10 cent fee was abolished. AS far
back as 1904 agitation was started TO
remove the toll and to release the
city from the heavy expense of main.
tanning them, since they were outside
of the city. Then the legislation ap.
plying especially TO the bridge matter
here was passed, giving this city the
right to turn them over to the county
Mayor H. NJ. Schriver brought the
matter up yesterday and moved that
it be considered. which was carried

TIME TELLS or
things that Words Won't tell

There are some things about a mo-
tor car that words won't tell. Words
are simply labels-and it is one of
the shortcomings of our language that
words don't always express the diff
ference between things.
For instance, the same words are
used to describe motors and motor
sizes. In words, two motors of "4A
bore and "5A stroke" are the same.
But between them there may be
hundred differences. Differences in
power: in economy; in smoothness; in
reliability. Words won't tell those diff
ferences. Even blue prints won't.
And so on all through the car. High
grade bearings" springs of finest
quality" channel section steel
frame" full floating rear axles" All
cars have them, it seems from the
announcements. But the differences
which We know to exist in the cars
themselves words won't tell.

London.-The first stage of The
peace negotiations, which was regard
ed by diplomats largely as one of pre-
tense on Turkeys part, to avoid the
appearance of yielding to the demands
of the allies without pressure from the
powers, is now over. 1t is expected
that the second stage will begin soon
with the powers behind the scenes
pulling the strings. which will compel
Turkey to concede the bulk OF the al
lies demands.
Turkey renounced in favor of the al
lies her rights in the island of Crete
at the conference Monday and prom
ised further rectification of the Thra-
clan frontier, but insisted upon the
retention Of Adrianopie. The allies de-
clared that this was not satisfactory
and suspended the conference.
The conference may be resumed
either by notification from Turkey that
she has fresh proposals to submit, or
by the allies, on the ground that they
have communications to make to the
Turks.
It is expected that the work of the
conference will be taken up again at
the end of the week.
Rechad Pasha, before reading his
statement, made brief speech say
ing that Turkey was prepared to, give
further proof of her conciliatory spirit
but he regretted that the allies seemed
determined to concede nothing on
their part.
