HART mAKESPLEA
FOR BOYS HAVING
BASEBALL fever
Urges City to Provide Suitable
Playground and Athletic
Field at Once.
WHO OWNS FIRE HYDRANT?
National Neck Yoke Company Pro-
tests Removal of Its Property
Outside of Fence.

A plea for the small boy who has a
severe attack of "baseballitis" and
has nowhere to go with his malady,
was made by Commissioner Archie
Hart at the weekly session of the COM
mission yesterday afternoon. Already
complaints are coming about lads
playing in the streets. We tell them
not to but where can we send them
We have no suitable playground for
them and | think that we should pro-
vide one at once" he explained.
Commissioner Hart suggested that
the north part of the Island City park,
which was purchased by the city last
year, be utilized for this purpose. The
tract outside of the enclosure con-
tains about six acres and that inside
about four acres. He urged that the
north half which is partly covered
with corn stubble, be plowed up,
graded and turned over to the boys
for their sports.
1t seems there is a house and barn
on the land in question and the city
attorney was instructed to notify the
tenant to move. The city hopes to real
ize something from the sale of the
building. Mayor Schriver suggested
that the fence at the ball park needed

repairs and Commissioner Bear stat
ed that he would make a personal in
vestigation of the field and see what
is needed ana make a report.
Who Owns Hydrant?
Who owns the water hydrant which
the city recently removed from inside
the fence at the National Neck Yoke
company's plant and placed on the
outside, in order that it might be
ymore accessible? Swair Pearson,
president of the company, wrote let
ter to the commission in which he
stated that it was the property of his
concern and presented bill for $40,
the expense necessary to replace the
hydrant.
The letter said when Weyerhaeuser
& Denkmann sold to the Neck Yoke
company the site for its plant, it was
specifically understood that the water
main and hydrants were the property
of the seller and that the title and
ownership has remained with the Neck
Yoke company to the present time.
"Weyerhaeuser & Denkmann can
not sell to the city what they decided
in another DEAL" argues the writer
NO one has a right to enter our
property and remove anything without
our consent and notice is given city
officers to refrain from trespa Ssing
and removing any of said property"
The misSive calls attention to the
fact that the hydrant that remains on
the property has been fitted with re-
ducing connections enabling the COM
pany to use it at the time of fire and it
is necessary to remain where it is,
concluding with the statement: I'VE
will under no condition consent to the
removal of this water hydrant.'
Will Investigate.
Commissioner Rudgrer expressed
the belief that the main and hydrant
in question did not belong to the city
but were in fact part of a private
system for fire protection which Wey-
erhaeuser & Denkmann installed years
ago, although the city has been COM
PEELED to keep up repairs on the same

Suggestions for Good Roads Day

stone. If this is done the road bed
should be properly prepared. See that
the gravel or stone is well spread and
not left in heaps for traffic to do the
spreading.
Sixth. All earth roads should be
dragged SYSTEMATICALLY: the commits
sioners making contracts verbally or
in writing with adjoining residents to
do the dragging.
Seventh. l would suggest that some
organized effort be made to have the
principal roads in each town first put
in condition These would include nat
urally all those indicated as state aid
roads, and any other main roads that
have not been so designated. These
roads should be graded somewhat
wider than the by-roads and each town
ship should be prepared to spend more
time upon the principal roads than on
the by-roads. The principal roads
should be graded so that the distance
between bitches would be about 80
feet The portion of these roads to be
dragged should be Is or 20 feet.
bitches on by-roads may be so close
together as "a feet, and the dragged
portion should be IA TO 16 feet.
On Road Day" make a beginning.
The exact nature of the work viii de-
pend on weather conditions and local.
ity. In some instances it may be pos
sible to start grading crews: others
TO start dragging; others to clean tha
bitches; and in others to pile the rub
bish preparatory to burning Endeavor
to interest as many people as possible
in the work, and to have them come
out on the road on Road Day" pre-
pared to do actual work.
Let us endeavor. by cooperation
one with another. to inaugurate a new
era of efficient road work in the state.
The new road law is essentially one
providing for cooperation between all
officials. The success of the work
rests mainly with the township com
missioners and the county superintend.
ents of highways.

claims she was injored in a fall

Fifth avenue, on the night of Oct. Z,

night and that the accident happened

For the benefit of those who may de-
sire to do something for the cause of
highway improvement Wednesday,
proclaimed as a state good roads day
by Governor Dunno. the Rock Island
County Highway Improvement asso-
citation, which is taking no active part
in the occasion, commends the follow
ing suggestions, recently sent out to
county highway engineers by State
Highway Engineer A. n. Johnson:
First. AS it is essential that the CO.
operation of all road officials be secured
you should. therefore. call together the
highway commissioners in your county
prior to April 10, to discuss plans for
the work to be done.
1t is suggested that the commission
ers be called together Immediately ef-
ter the town election, so that the new
commissioners may be present. With
the different features of the work be-
fore them, the commissioners in each
township should outline what is to
be done and the county superintendent
should go into each township with the
commissioners and arrange in some de-
tail exactly the work to be taken up
during the coming season, having in
mind the accommodation of the great
est number OF people, together with
the funds available for the work.
Second. The work would include
grading, cutting down hills and filling
low places; grading and widening APP
proaches to bridges, widening and
grading approaches at railroad cross
ings. These should be graded so as
to be carried practically level for at
least so feet on either side of the
tracks. II this were done. many of
the accidents that now occur at these
crossings would be entirely avoided.
All earth work should be done as early
in the season as possible.
Third. bitches should be opened:
broken culverts should be repaired.
and plans should be made for building
permanent culverts as fast as posi-
BILE.
Fourth. Rubbish should be removed
from the road sides, hedges trimmed.
and distractions at corners removed
Use all your influence to preserve the
trees. and. in genera. endeavor to
have the roadside made more attract

Fifth. In some localities II may be

This was the resolution which Com
missioner VI. T. Rudgren introduced
and which was unanimously passed at
the weekly meeting OF the city com
mission yesterday afternoon Mayor
II. VI. Schriver minated that he de-
sired another conference with bust
ness men OF the city relative to the
provisions OF the proposed measure
before taking it up. but Commissioner
r r. Reynolds emphasized the point
that he thought il wise for the COM
mission to meet first and discuss the
ordinance before asking the advice or
taking suggestions from outside
sources relative to its provisions.
Higher License.
Just what the new ordinance will
contain remains to be seen. but it is
understood the tendency will be to-
ward raising the license fee and re-
ducing the number OF saloons. II is
probable that the license fee will be
increased from $500 to $3.50 and that
