you had designed one system Of sew
ers for your house drainage and one
for the storm water drainage.
What about the water pipes, should
they be changed so that every lot
would have an opening regardless of
whether the lot is occupied?
No. all connections for water
pipes or sewers should be made before
a permanent pavement is laid, regard
less of whether lots are occupied or
not. This eliminates the future pos
sibility Of having TO tear up your pave
ment.
Would you favor paving long strip
down Main street leaving the side
streets alone, or shorter main street
Which would make the best adjunct
to the TOWN.. G.. Lloyd
No. 1T seems as if shorter Main
street paving with spurs on the side
streets would make the best adjunct
to the town. This is where most of
your business lies, where most of the
money is represented, where the adj
vantages of a pavement will be felt
the most, because the dust through
the summer will not enter the stores
and spoil stock, and it will be in a
place where it will be noticed more
by those from out of town. The bust
ness streets are generally paved before
the residence streets.
Does the paving of the business
street tend to increase the sales of
those merchants that front upon it?
We have heard that they increase by
several per cent within few weeks
Mccoy Bros
No. Safeguarding the tendency to
increase the sales of merchants that
front upon a paved street, il seems as
If the statement that they are increas-
ed by several per cent within a few
weeks is perhaps putting ii a little
strong. This no doubt, is the case in
large number of instances, although
there are no statistics TO prove this
presumption. 1t is a fact, however
that more business will be done on a
paved street than on a street that is
muddy. The farmers in coming to
town will naturally stop on your paved
streets in preference TO the mud holes,
and when the thought comes to them
that they must buy something they are
then in front of the stores which face
on this street, and the tendency would
be TO bring a larger trade To these
stores, for il does not sound reasonable
that if man wants to buy hat and
he is on a paved street where there
is a hat store that he will bother going
around on another street to get the
hat.
DO you think that we are liable to
have a state law in the near future
that would compel us TO stop dumping
sewage in the river thus making il
necessary to put in a sewage disposal
plant? What effect would such law
have On our sewers as laid at this
time?
No. 9-There Is no doubt in my
mind that IL will only be a few years
before every town in the United States
will have to dispose of it's sewage or
give il a treatment before it is allowed
to flow into our streams and rivers.
At the present time the State of Michi-
gan is under the control of the Board
Of Health, and when 1t can be shown
that ii is a nuisance for Bedding sew
age to flow into the river we believe

that they can force you at that time
to build a Sewage Disposal Plant. We
refer you further to the decision in
regard to Grand Rapids. When this
happens in Bedding, an intercepting
sewer must be put in to separate the
dry weather flow from the storm

ESCAPES fine BY
PUBLIC APOLOGY
Peter Andronajtas Atones for
Insult Against Moline
Woman.

Peter Andronajtas, 314 Fifth avenue,
Moline, avoided payment of a heavy
fine in police court this morning by
making a public apology to Anton
Goodrich, who had him arrested Sat
urday night for making a remark of
an insulting nature concerning his
wife. Andronajtas paid the court
costs, which amounted to S2.05. After
the apology had been made and the
costs paid, the party took up a collec-
ton and paid the fine of a fellow
countryman, George Daylyda, who had
been confined in the county Jail for
six days on a charge of disorderly
conduct. Dayllyda's sentence of 10
days was committed by Magistrate
Frank Gustafson when his fine was
paid. The entire party, consisting of a
dozen witnesses, their friends and the
principals in the case, left the court
all in good humor over the outcome.

STORM DRAIN IS
TO Be INSTALLED
Long Sought Improvement Will
at Last Become q
Reality.
TRINITY'S BID Is HIGHEST
Commission viii Sell Old Fire Station
Site to the Lutheran
Church

The long sought for improvement on
drain, which has been desired by
residents of the west end for some
time, is to become a realization before
the present season has reached its end,
is the announcement made today by
Moline city officials, who met in regu-
lar weekly session at the city hall. The
ordinance which covers this improve
ment, and which has received the ap-
prevail of the board of local improve
ments, was discussed at this morn
ing's session and will probably be
adopted within the next week or two
A Sc inch No. 2 sewer pipe storm drain,
costing in excess of $1,000, is called
for by the ordinance, the amount en-
tailed to be met by special assess
ments to be levied against the prop
erty holders. The drain will extend
along Second street from Railroad to
Sixth avenue, on Sixth avenue from
First to Second streets, and on First
street from Sixth avenue to a point
about 125 feet from the street center.
Church to Purchase Property.
The city commissioners decided this
morning to sell to Trinity Lutheran
church the city property at Fourteenth
avenue and Thirteenth street, where
fire station No. 2 was formerly located,
the price to be paid being s565. Bids
were called for from those desiring to
secure the property, two others being
received beside the one enterd by tn
church. William Mcclellan offered $525
while Roy Edwards offered S495. The
city's expectation of realizing $500
from the property failed to material
iEe.
Tax Levy Ordinance Adopted.
The tax levy ordinance, which was
introduced at last weeks session of
the commission. and tabled for the
time being. again came up for discus
sion this morning, with the result that
ii was adopted by unanimous vote
The new ordinance calls for the rails
ing of more than $500, 600 to meet the
city's expenses during the coming
year in the five departments of the
city government. This sum is in ad-
dition to revenues derived from saloon
and liquor license or other sources.
Commissioner Eastman of the de-
partment of health and public safety,
