STREET CLEANING
BEFORE COUNCIL
Commission Again Hears Plans
Outlined by Rotary Club
Committee.
ARE TO REPAlNT BOXES
Officials VIII Likely Take Steps to End
Confusion Of Public Relative to
Police Alarm Stations.

The city commissioners. at a meet
\ ing held in the council chambers. thi
afternoon discussed two projects which
have been under their consideration
for some time past.
The council met a committee of the
Rock Island Rotary club and talked OF
the continuance OF street and alley
cleaning plans, and also took UP the
matter of repainting the police and
fire alarm boxes. so that the public in
the future may be caused no con.
fusion.
The committee OF the Rotary club
went over plans outlined by members
Of the club some time ago. The club
asks for a constant cleaning of streets
and alleys.
The present ordinance provides that
the householders have receptacles for
rubbish, refuse and ashes. At present
the city wagons care for the removal
Of garbage. and each year for the dis
position of all rubbish on the annual
cleanup day.
The aim of the resolution, which the
mayer advocated some weeks ago. pro-
viding that the people dispose of their
own refuse. was to provide more mon
ey for the streets. If adopted. it would
mean that the money now being spent
in caring for the removal of the gar
bage could be expended for keeping
the streets cleaner. which is the aim
Of the Rotary club petition.
Want New Color.
The government mail boxes of the \
city are green, as are the police alarm |
boxes. This causes great confusion |
IN the part of the public who have oc-
;asion to use the latter boxes.
The fire boxes are red. and it is pre-
umed that when the council takes up
he matter of painting the boxes, that
viii leave these the same color.
The police boxes, however, will likely
Re painted blue
This scheme of color for the boxes
5 in vogue in most large cities, the
nail boxes the country over being
reen. the fire boxes red. and the po-
&c boxes blue.

Him on Head.

Edwin Walsh, two-year-old son Of
Mr. and Mrs. L. Walsh, S07 Twenty
fourth street, was attacked by a large
blue jay, while playing in front Of the
home last evening at o'clock. The
child's screams frightened the bird
away, before it could do any serious
injury.
The little fellow was running down
the sidewalk, when the blue jay flew
out of one of the. trees nearby and
swooped down upon the child without
any warning whatever, and pecked
him on the head. The child's screams
brought the mother to the scene. The
injuries consisted of few minor
scratches on the back of the chiid's
head.
