SHOP TRAIN WILL
CONTINUE TO RUN
Movement for Removal Will
Receive No Aid from Greater
Moline Committee.

No further effort 10 induce the Rock
Island road to remove its shop train
from Davenport and Rock Island to its
plant a SHvis viii be made. il was
stated At the weekly meeting of the
Greater Moline committee Friday. A.
q. Abraham, head OF the committee
named to look into the matter, re
ported To this effect. He said the
company had given assurance that no
change was anticipated. The matter
was first agitated by the East Moline
Commercial club and was taken up
before the Greater Moline committee,
where the sentiment appeared favor
able TO continuing the train, at least
till Moline and East Moline are better
provided with houses to accommodate
those whose removal here from Dav-
export and Rock Island would be
necessitated by lack OF means OF
transportation to and from their
work.
Nelson Greene, head OF the commit
tee named to consider the improve
ment OF Browning field. reported that
il had been decided TO put the matter
up TO the city commission. If a por-
ton of the two-mill tax for park pur-
poses could be diverted for the i'm
provement of the field this should be
done. in the opinion of the committee.
Jf not the city should at least bear part
OF the expense. Another plan is for
the city to lease the park to some cor
pCration which may be given author
ity to charge admission and lay aside
a certain percentage of the receipts to
reimburse Itself for improvements
made. When the Indebtedness is can
ceIed the control OF the park should
revert to the city, under this arrange !
ment. This will make it possible for
a baseball association to take over !
the grounds and improve them as de- |
sired.
The committee was instructed 10
