COUNCIL IGNORES
PROPERTY0WNERS
East Moline Executive Board
Refuses to Act on As
sessment Appeal.

Attempts to secure the repeal of a
part of the assessments for the Seven
teenth avenue paving project fell fat
at a meeting of the East Moline coun-
Gil last evening. Property owners
who, it is presumed, objected to the
size OF their assessments after the
court had confirmed the roll, appealed
to the council.
In the discussion of the appeal Fred
Railsbach, city attorney, explained
that the city council had no further
authority in the matter. that it was
up TO the board Of local improve
ments and that body had already
passed on the project. On motion of
Alderman Lundeen the council dis
posed of the appeal by having it plac-
ed on file.
Alderman Charles Radden asked and
was granted the privilege of installing
an eight inch sewer and Waterman
in the Radden addition, on condition
that the work of installation be under
the supervision of the city and in &C
cordance with its specifications.
An additional 5000 feet of sidewalk
for Sixteenth avenue was asked for
and referred to the streets and al
leys committee with power to act. No
further business of importance was
transacted.
