Start At Mouth.

The commission has decided TO start
at the mouth of the sewer 100 feet
west of the Rock Island railroad tracks
and build east. With $4,000 to spend
the mains can be extended as far east
as Seventh street. The sewer will
empty into the Mill street slough and
that portion to be built this year will
extend on Sixteenth avenue as far as
Fifth street, on Fifth street from Six
teenth to Fifteenth avenue and on FIT
teenth avenue to Seventh street. Next
year an appropriation large enough to
care for the remainder Of the project
will be made
The main will be by 10 feet from
its mouth to Third street and by 3
feet the remainder Of the distance.
The bid Of the Independent Con-
struction company is SO per lineal
foot for the Z by 10 and So a lineal
foot for the by 5. When the commits
sion will finally decide on the letting
of the contract none OF the city officials
knew yesterday.

MISS GRANT SOON TO
PAY A VISIT TO CITY

Miss Sarah c. Grant, a graduate in
'02 Of the University of Minnesota, OF
the Johns Hopkins hospital training
school for nurses in 1905, and for three
and a half years a member Of the so
cial service department of the Massa-
chusetts general hospital, founded by
DR.. Richard G. Cabot, said, commenting
upon her entrance into congressional
union work; Women engaged in So
Cial betteTment are treating individual
cases and symptoms rather than gen
eral conditions and causes. The at
tempt to deal with causes is fOiled at
every turn by the impOssibiity Of
handling on in toto the experience of
the social worker to the male legisla-
tors who frame our laws. So it seems
TO me that the fundamental social need
Of the country now is woman suf-
frage. For instance all social work
ers have long known the imperative
need OF custodial care OF the mentally
defective, yet most social workers be
ing women are without effective means
to obtain the necessary legislation.
I am convinced that the one effective
and economical way to secure the vote
is TO ask our 100000 women voters
70 recognize the national party sys-
tenn by which the majority party has
the full power TO grant the submission
of the Susan Il. Anthony amendment
TO the state legislatures for rati-
hca-ion"
Miss Grant expects soon to pay a
visit to Rock Island in connection with
her new work

CITY DADS SWEAT
COMING FIGURES
Precipitation Comes From Perplexity
Rather Than Heat When They
Consider Storm Drain Bids.
DECIDE on CONCRETE MATERIAL
Indications Point Towards Indepcnd-
ent Construction Company as Sue
ceSsful After Meeting.

The municipal commissioners per-
spired Juggling figures yesterday al
though two electric fans waited
moderately cool breeze over the coun-
Gil chamber The perspiration came
from perplexity rather than from the
heat. as the city authorities were try
ing to discover what was what" in
the southwest storm drain bids.
And at the conclusion of the session,
which lasted more than an hour and
half. despite the labor over the mass
of figures. no definite decision was
reached But chances are that the
commission has arrived at a tentative
agreement over the contract and pres
ent indicatnOis are that the lndepend-
ent Construction company OF DaVen-
port will be awarded the job, material
to be concrete.
Verify the task the commissioners
have laid out before them in deciding
the letting Of the contract is confus-
ing one If il were possible to let the
contract for the entire job, the troubles
would be eliminated. But this is not
the case. The commission has only
$4,000 10 spend and the entire project
will cost in the neighbOrhOOd of $10,-
600 SO the council can put in only
part Of the big main.
Thursday Mayor McConOchie en-
phaticauy stated that W. II. Bedeu
would be given the contract or all bids
would be thrown out. Yesterday the
mayor voiced no protests when after
figures had been laid before him, it
appeared that the Independent COM
pany had the lowest price as far as
the big mains are concerned.
The commission VIII spend only $40
600. This in itself viii make the pro-
ject the biggest sewer job undertaken
in Rock Island in years. Accordingly,
the commission is cautious in its de-
alterations as the amount involved and
the Importance Of the project make it
mandatory htat careful study be given
the matter before definite decision is

state association with view to Sc
curing federal aid TO prevent over
flows and control floods In Texas

laws of Texas that will provide local
option measures for home work TO
which state and federal aid can be
added. Fundamental changes In the
taxing and bonding system are con-
templated. When organized. this
state association will arrange to 30
before the legislature In January

to the people a constitutional amend

desired relief both from the riotous

The object of the association is TO
afford the people an easy opportun-
ity to suggest the character OF meas
ure they desire that will provide the
relief sought. In this way the meas
