RETURNS FROM INSPECTION
Commissioner Tells Council of Spring
field Plant and Council Will
Take Up Matter.

The city council will soon go into
the matter of whether or not it will
have erected here an incineration
plant to care for the disposal of the
garbage collection in the city.
Informally, after the formal session
of the council this morning. the city
dads took up the matter. Commission
er Archie Hart, just returned from
Springfield. suggested it. While there
he inspected the incineration plant in
that city.
After talk at considerable length
the council decided to have Commits
sioner Harris books checked up and
then if it was discovered that suffici-
ent funds were on hand to erect the
plant, that bids would be advertised
for so work could be started by next
spring when garbage could be hauled
and burned and the commission would
not be forced to seek new dumping
grounds.
Emergency May Arise.
When asked by Commissioner
Reynolds this morning if the public
health fund, would be sufficiently
large to warrant the erection of the

some money left, but l cannot guar
antee the city against an emergency
and should a number of contagious
disease cases occur during the winter

The commission decided that the
books would be investigated and then
they would take up the matter of de-
termining whether or not to go ahead
with the erection of the plant.
Already several incinerating plant
have sent statesmen to this
city. with plans and specifications of
those erected in other cities. 1t is
thought that two units would be suf-
ficient for Rock Islands needs at pres
ent.
No doors from Plant.
Commissioner Hart stated this
that there were no odors aris-
ing from the plant at Springfield and
that the people of the city need have
no fear from this source, in c1se the

Burglars were abroad again last
night in the city. two business houses

over $500. The perpetrators made

police have not a single clew to work

The deed was probably committed
about Il 80 last night, as a dog in the
rooms upstairs was barking at that

would be easily recognized on the
street If worn. Five dozen expensive
SILK waists were included in the loot.

that he did not know the exact amount
taken. but that il would total over $500.

TWO BROTHERS GLADLY PAY
FOR SUPPORT OF TINDALL

Recent statements to the effect that

willing contributors all along.

COUNCIL AGREES
ON FORM OF BIDS
Offers on Police Alarm Will Be
Received Under Three
Classifications.
ENDS ARGUMENT FOR TIME
Anticipate Other Warm Sessions Wher
Commission Takes Up Matter
of Letting a Contract.

The city council this morning. with
the adoption of an ordinance present.
I ed by Mayor II. NJ. Schriver, for a time
at least ended argument over the po-
lice alarm system. Indications are
that more trouble will be forthcoming
when the council goes to bat in award
ing the contract.
The resolution offered by Mayor
Schriver provided for the advertising
of separate bids for the outside wiring
of the system and also for the COM
plete installation, which would in
clude inside and outside wiring. The
council already had advertised for
bids for the boxes to be installed, but
it did not call for the wiring.
The resolution as adopted therefore
covers the entire project. The coun-
ell is to receive separate bids under
three classifications, and thus the
fight started in the council Monday
afternoon and rehearsed several times
is at an end.
Home Labor Contention.
The differences of opinion among
the council according TO present indi-
cations will stand in the way of an
early settlement of the matter when
the bids are opened and the matter OF
letting the contract is up. Then the
same trouble and the same arguments
over whether home labor is being Civ
en- a square deal, will likely spring up.
The specifications upon which the
successful contractor must agree and
on which he will make his bids. were
adopted this morning at the session
by the council. Several minor changes
were made.
