Victoria Water Lilies

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-
rope by his description of their gigan-
tic leaves and flowers. Almost half a
century elapsed in fruitless expert
ments to introduce the plant into the
old world when in 1S49 the first flower
opened on the Duke of Devonshire's
estate At Chatsworth, England.

OFFICE PROVES ITS VALUE
Good Start Also Made in the Removal
of Unsanitary and Unsafe
Structures.

Entirely disregarding the fees col
Iected, 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-2ustafling and at the
same time the city and the people,
particularly those who purchase
homes, are given protection from in
ferior work
]. 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
materials is added. During the fall L
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 crdir nee
passed by the council is one which
gives the inspector the right to con-
denim property which is found by him
to be unsanitary.
Mr.. Stapp spends three hours daily
in his office and the rest of the time
he is out making inspections.
