Silvis shops OF the Rock Island road
will start the new year Friday with a
fuIl force Of 1,5O0 men employed. This
big plant has been less affected than
any other on the line b. the policy
OF retrenchment which has been gen

mark attained.
Next the city was offered the pro-
posed 100000 hospital to be erected
by the Augustana synod if site were
given for it and in a short campaign
$4,000 was pledged for the purchase
of the old Barnard homestead on the
west bluff, this being $4,000 more
than was needed for the purpose.
Work on this hospital probably will
be started in the spring.
Other matters which the committee
has taken up are good roads, better
local freight service and a bridge
across Rock river at Colona. Largely
through its efforts the Rock Island
County Highway Improvement asso-
citation has been formed to work for
highway retirement throughout the
county. while the board of supervisors
was induced to vote to present to the
people a bond issue for money to pay
for this county's half of the Rock
river bridge. \ subcommittee is at
work on gathering data to be used in
an effort to prevail upon railroads to
improve freight shipping facilities to
and from the city.

IMMENSE GROWTH
INMANUF ACTURES
Increase of so Per Cent in Men
Employed and Wages Paid
Out in 1918.
EAST MOLINE is INCLUDED
Showing Indicates Bright Future anc.
Rcfutes Claim that Times Have
Been Hard.

Data gathered from all the leading
factories of Moline and East Moline
show that there has been a wonderful
growth both in number OF men en-
ployed and in wages paid out. The
average number of men employed in
1913 was 1886. against 9,272 in 1912,
while the maximum number employed
was 1886 in 1913 and 1.466 in 1912.
Total wages paid out in 1913 was
$S,OS1. 623.52, against S6,329,S0S during
the preceding year.
The number of cars of raw material
received was $4,000, while 23,167 cars
Of manufactured products were ship
ped out of the city. The total value of
manufactured products i, placed at
S37,9O2, 311.66.
Expenditure for new equipment and
buildings was S1,755.649. The total
capital stock Of all companies report
ing was S97,617, 200. an increase of
100000 over that reported at the
close of 1912.
Increase so Per Cent.
The increase in the number of men
employed was nearly 80 per cent over
that of the year previous. The ever
age work day was 90 hours.
These figures. and those showing
the business done indicate pretty clear
~ that the cry of hard times in Moline
has had no tangible backing.

GREAT STRIDES
in EAST MOLINE
Suburb Has Invested More
Than a Million Dollars in
Betterments.
HARVESTER PLANT is BIG
Surface Drainage Project Largest I'M
proVement in Sight for the
Coming Year.

| East Moline, in proportion to its
size, has made greater strides than
either of the other of the quad cities.
I In round numbers its improvements
during 1918 were a million dollars.
! Half of this sum was invested III the
mammoth plant of the Deere Harves-
| ter company, which when completed
! will be. the largest industrial concern
, in the city, and one of the largest in
! the four cities. The other half repre-
sents buildings and municipal i'm
provements
In residences 100000 has been ex-
pended. while $4,000 has been spent
in business blocks. Municipal i'm
provements, while not including any
single largo project, went forward
steadily, four and one-half miles of
sidewalks being laid, together with
several blocks of paving and sewer
and water mains costing 100000.
Seven hundred dwellings have been
erected in the city during the last
three years. One concern alone, the
East Moline Land company, kept so
carpenters at work all last season.
The corner near Waterfowl has been
the scene of the most notable activity,
though there has been liberal sprink-
ling of new residences all over the
city.
Population Climbs.
East Moline has grown from a vii
lage of 200, II years ago, to a city of
5000 now. When the 1910 census was
taken there were 1865. When the
count of 1920 is made it expects to
have 10000. based on the increase of
the last four years. 1t has II main
factories employing a total of $500
men. AT the usual ratio of four per-
sons in the family for each wage earn
er the factory population represents
residence population of 22,400. 1t is
but reasonable to expect that the men
employed in the city will take up their
residence there as soon as they can
find homes at rental no greater than
they are paving in Moline or Rock Is
land. East Moline's problem is merely
one of building homes
AT but a small part of the city is now
supplied with city water pumped from
two artesian wells. and with sewer
facilities. A pump at the mouth of
the main sewer is one of the improve
ments of the present year This will
take care of the sewage in times of
high water in the Mississippi Elec-
tricity and gas have been extended to
nearly ali sections, while sidewalks
and paving are being laid as rapidly
as the legal formalities can be dis
posed of
Big Things Ahead.
During 1914 the biggest single pro-
lect planned Is surface drainage
system costing but a few thousand less
than 100000. This proposed system
will drain 1000 acres. taking care of
all the low lying parts of the CITY.
Plans have been made to pave with
brick Sixteenth avenue from First to
Twelfth streets, together with half
dozen other shorter sections of streets.
The paving of Sixteenth alone will
cost $4,000. according to the engi.
neer's estimate.
