Property Owners Living in Territory

Service This Fall.

1t is probable that the Tri-City Rail
way company will order a survey to
determine the feasibility of extending
the Blue line into territory southeast
of Moline. Property owners in the
territory which it is proposed to tap
are endeaYoring to convince the COM
pany that population which would be
served by the extended line is sufficient
to warrant the outlay of money which
the improvement would involve, and
hope is that the work may go forward
this fall
Petitions addressed to the city COM
missioners and asking them to use
their good Offices in support of the re-
quest of property owners of the dis
trict are being circulated by the trans
portation committee of the Colona Ave
nue. Improvement association. The
committee also has the matter up with
il. F. Porter, president of the public
utilities company. A mass meeting of
members of the improvement assoeia-
ton has been called for Friday evening
of this week to further the extension
cause.
