During the war between the states

There IS a great deal that such a
club could do for Rock Island. For one
thing doubtless it could fnd a way to
cooperate with the board of supervis-
ors in expending tbs share Of state
aid and county funds which IS used
annually 81 the lower end Of the
county. This money, Judging by the
experience OF AIr, Garrison. can be
made to go q great deal farther in the
making Of acceptable permanent high
ways than it has done heretofore.

south side has been annexed this has
