The giant water lilies which are
known now as Victorias, after the late
queen of England, are natives of the
warmer portions of South America.
where they thrive in lagoons and in
the quieter portions of rivers. Haenke,
a German botanist, first reported their
discovery in 1901 and startled all Eu-

tic leaves and flowers. Almost half a
century elapsed in fruitless expert

YEAR SEES FINISH
OF SWINGING SIGN
One of Notable improvements
Under Building Inspec-
tors Direction.
OFFICE PROVES ITS VALUE
Good Start Also Made in the Removal
of Unsanitary and Unsafe
So ctures.

/ Entirely disreg riding the fees col
lected, the office of building inspector
pays for itself. This may seem a
strange statement but when it is con
sidered that the tax assessor uses the
records Of the building inspector in
compiling the lists for taxation it can
re Oily be seen that he is able to
check the disposition to dodge assess
ments.
But the fees of the office lake it
practically self-lustaining and at the
same time the city and the people,
particularly those who purchase
homes. are given protection from in
ferior work.
j. H. Stapp, the first building in
spector says the work will prove an
even greater benefit in years to come
when needed equipment for testing
movement was on foot to eliminate
the payment of all building permit
fees, but it was defeated.
This has been the first full year that
the office has been in existence. Dur
ing this year the power of the build
ing inspector has been increased by
the council. In the first place he was
given the supervision of the removal
of all swinging signs, practically all
of which have been taken down. He
also passes upon the signs before
hung and each year is to make an in
spection of all signs in the city. By
Jan. S, all swinging signs must be
down in Rock Island, six months /
grace having been given after the pas !
sage of the ordinance.
Another and more recent rrdir nee
passed by the council is one which |
gives the inspector the right to con-
denim property which is found by him

the Offices and shipping and unloading
rooms. A switch track has been
run into the building at the north, and
the wagons are to be located under

consists of two Kewanee boilers, one
of them, a small one, being used for
heating the Offices alone.
Part of the second floor is devoted
to the packing room, and here is also
the cigar and label room. The third
floor is being used entirely for storage

Two Fireproof Stairways.
There are two fireproof enclosed
stairways, one at each end of the
