roads designated by the supervisors
under the Tice law.
The cities OF Rock Island. Moline.
East Moline and Silvis have approx
mately 10000 worth OF paving for
which citizens have expended $500
600 and the Tri-City Railway company
100000. Rock Island has IS miles OF
improved STREETS. Moline, 30. East Mo
line. AZ and Silvis 1.
The cities will be called upon under
taxation TO pay for 73 per cent of the
proposed improvement OF country
roads and the country districts for
only p per cent.
Mr.. NIitchelrs idea Is to impose a
5-mill tax fer the retirement OF the
bonds. payment Of interest and road
maintenance. A 5-mill tax would
yield S107.5OO annually. while the in
terest at Az per cent would be s45. 900
for the first year. gradually decreasing
as the bonds were retired. This would
leave $62.5OO for retirement OF bonds
and upkeep of roads.
In order to illustrate what the cost
will be to the average farmer. Mr.
Mitchell pointed TO the tax he would
pay on a farm in Cordoya township.
which he owns. The road tax would
be but S10.S2 per year and there is
half a mile OF highway running
through or along the boundaries of
the place.
Counties Must Act.
II Rock Island county or any other
county hopes to have roads during the
lifetime of the present generation
which are disable every day in the year
the people must be willing to go down
into their pockets and pay for them.
The futility of waiting for the state or
the federal government TO help is il
Illustrated by the size of the sum which
is available for use in this county I'M
der the Tice bill, not enough accruing
to build a mile of hard roads during
a year. Though the lower house of
congress within the last few days has
passed the ShackIeford bill appropriat-
ing S25.0OO.00O to aid the states in
road building and Congressman Tav-
enner has advised Mr.. Mitchell that
the measure will probably also be APP
proved by the senate. any sum which
this county gets from the appropria-
ton must necessarily be small. prob
ably not much larger than that which
may be had under the Tice law.
So it is up to the people of the coun-
ties to build their own roads and Rock
Island will do well to drop in some
where near the head of the procession.
Vote Shows Approval.
At the conclusion OF his address.
Mr. Mitchell offered this resolution,
which carried by rising vote:

Federal baseball league officials, not

dangle before the eyes OF players, will
90 their rivals one better in the way OF

Although no official announcement
to this effect has yet been made by the
independents, il can be stated that
President Gilmore is working on the
plan and will give the public the de
tails as soon as he completes them.
AS there are scarcely more than
hundred percentage points between
the first and last teams in the Federal
league, there is almost an equal chance
for every one Of them TO get the big
prize.
