CARS To VILLAGE
Carbon Cliff Residents Prepar-
ing Petition to Tri- City
Railway Company.

Carbon Cliff wants street railway
service and is going to bend every eff
fort TO get it. At the meeting of the
village board Monday evening a reso
luton was adopted and a committee
named to circulate a petition for the
signatures of the residents of the viii
lage and vicinity asking the officers OF
the Tri-City Railway company to ex-
tend ITS line from Silvis, distance of
one and one-quarter miles.
Carbon is advantageously located as
residence district for the employees
in the Silvis shops and East Moline
factories, but has experienced little
benefits thus far from its proximity to
these big industrial enterprises be-
cause it did not have convenient trans
portation facilities. If the car line Is
extended properly owners figure that
their holdings will double in value in a
few years.
