was present at the last nights meet
ing and secured data on the project.
Mr.. Foster is enthusiastic over the pro
position and promises the financial
and moral aid OF the committee.
Form Definite Plans.
Definite plans for the improvement
of the drive were formulated at last
nights meeting and unanimously adop-
ted by those in attendance. George
Gould was named as chairman and G.
w. French as secretary of the meet
ing.
II was decided that the drive shall
be 10 feet in width and that cement
sidewalks will be built on each side
OF the driveway. with a space OF II
or Is feet between the walk and the
main driveway, 10 be transformed into
a sort of a small boulevard. In this
space gas and sewer mains are to be
installed and telephone conduits laid;
in this manner the main driveway Will
never have TO be torn up or dug into
TO improve sewers or mains, or repair
the conduits. The remaining space
left after the walks, small boulevard
and main driveway have been installed
will be transferred into a beautiful
park all along the drive clear to the
river.
The above plan was thought to be
the best, taking all things into consid-
Grafton, and met with instant approval
of the property owners. Suggestions
from other property owners and those
affected by the proposed Improvement
is asked for by the East End Improve
ment association, which was sponsor
at the session.
Will Start Work Soon.
II has been decided that work on
the proposed project will start just as
soon as possible. A committee consist
ing of Charles Brunstrom. J. w.
Wynn, Jr., w. J. Reimers, c. w. Beck
er and George Gould, was appointed
TO meet and confer in the immediate
future with Mayor VI. r. Carlson. City
Commissioner Ericsson, City Engineer
Payton, and the subcommittee of the
Greater Moline committee. II is plan
ned to have this party go over the
route and decide upon the feasibility
of the improvement plans. 1t is thought
that both the city and Greater Moline
committee will consent TO give financial
assistance to the improvement.

WHEAT SHIPMENTS
GOING To BALTIMORE
Northern Central Lines Taking Big
Western Crop to Maryland
Port Elevators

The first shipments of western
wheat to the export elevators at Balti-
more are now passing through this
city daily. Carloads and trainloads of
grain have been noticed on their way
south over the Baltimore division
within the past week or ten days and
now that the prospect of war in Eu-
rep has created a big demand for
American wheat in the foreign mar
kets there is every prospect that the
Northern Central will break all records
in handling shipments during the next
three weeks. Already arrangements
have been made by the railway to
carry considerably more than last year.
Until a few years g the trainloads
