I am in favor of going right ahead
with il and building on the tract we
now own"
One of the commissioners asked
about whether there were not other
sites available. The mayor named sew
eral. including one near the Lutheran
cemetery. one on Thirtieth street and
a tract on Rock river bluff. west of the
Watch Tower and owned by ]. H.
Sears. He stated that Mr.. Sears Of
fered the site, acres, at $4,000.
No Others Convenient.
The point was raised that some of the
places mentioned might be adapted to
the needs of the institution, but the
mayor pointed out that none was con-
venient. since a road would have to
be cut through. water mains extended.
light provided and that none was
handy to any street car line.
The strong opposition that the peo-
pie in the vicinity of the present site
made against going ahead with i'm
provements a year ago was also cited
as a reason why another site would be
chosen, but Mayor Schriver answered
this by stating that anywhere that
the commission decided upon
chances were many that the city
would be forced into litigation.

Street Car is Almost Wrecked.-The
Davenport police are seeking four or
five young boys who almost succeeded
in wrecking a Suburban island street
car Friday night by placing a railroad
tie on the track near the entrance to
the island. The authorities have been
working on the case for the past three
DAYS and the arrest of the guilty par
ties is expected within "a hours. 1t is
believed that the blockading of the
rails may be traced entirely to pre-
Halloween prank. The motorman in
charge of the car discovered the OBJ
struction in the nick of time, and by
applying the brakes managed to bring
the conveyance to a stop within a
few inches of the tie.

Great Need.
RESOLUTION NOT SECONDED
States There Are so Cases of Disease
in the City Which Need I'M
mediate Care.

Mayor H. NJ Schriver demanded i'm
mediate action upon the matter of
erecting a tuberculosis sanatorium on
the site purchased by the city on Thir-
teelth avenue about year ago. in a
resolution which he introduced TO the
council yesterday afternoon, but 1t
lost for want OF a second
The mayor. following the reading Of
the resolution, stated that the city
needed the institution badly and that
all physicians and many other citizens
were strongly urging some action
The majority OF the commissioners
expressed themselves as opposed to
the site the city now owns, in view Of
the public continent against the To-
cation OF the sanitorium there, and
when the mayor asked for a second
there was-none forthcoming.
The motion is lost" said the mayor
with a sigh.
The Resolution.
~ The resolution was as follows:
Whereas, | am reliably informed
there are more than fifty cases of tu-
berculosis at the present time in the
city of Rock Island, and crying need
of Immediately establishing a tuber-
culosis sanatorium.
And whereas. the city has collected
the special tax levy for two years
last past for this purpose, exceeding in
amount $4,000
And. whereas !. as mayor of this
city, have repeatedly pressed upon this
council the necessity of action in this
respect.
Therefore, Be IL resolved, That this
council take immediate steps to estab-
lish such tuberculosis sanatorium on
the tract of land the city purchased
months ago for such purpose and that
the commission composed of Doctors
DeSilva, Ostrom and Lachner, be noti-
fed to this effect by the city clerk"
Not Getting Anywhere.
After reading it the mayor said:
We've got to take some action on
this matter Immediately We aren't
getting anywhere at all Several doc
tors have come to me and asked:
why aren't you erecting the sanator-
ium? Haven't you got the money! All
that could tell them was that we had
two assessments amounting TO $4,000
but had taken no further action on
the erection of the building.
Il explained 10 them how the people
in that section were opposed to the
establishment o the institution there
But l want to tell you right here, that
