Daily Dongs in Mercer County,s Busy Capital
CITY Purchases StandpIpe.

The city council met in special ses-
sion Monday night for the purpose of
comforting with c. NJ. Todd, sales en-
gineer of the Chicago Bridge and Iron
works. At this meeting an agreement
was made between the city of Aledo
and Mr.. Ladd by which the former
purchased a new standpipe to be
placed upon the site Of the present
city tie yards when the old standpipe
is torn away to make room for the
new postoffiCe to be erected. The
standpipe purchased will have a ca
pacity OF 10000 gallons, whereas the
present one has a capacity of only
5000 gallons. This new standpipe
was purchased for the sum Of $500
and will be of steel, except for a
wooden frost protection which sur
rounds the pipe leading up to the
large tank This water tower will be
of the hemispherical type, with three
panels and will stand rs feet above
the foundation cap stones The large
tank will place the heighth of the
tower and tank included at a heighth
of nearly 125 feet.
At this special meeting of the coun-
Gil a petition of DR.. John NJ DORIS
asking permission to build a tempo
rary stairway at the rear of the Davis
building was considered. The present
stairway leading to the AIedo club
rooms will be destroyed and the space
which it now occupies will become a
part of the new bank structure. Some
sort of entrance to the club will be
necessary and Mr.. Davis thought the
rear stairway plan TO be the most ad-
visable, in fact the only feasible one.
The council passed favorably upon
the petition.

Still Fighting Over Payments-After
one dispute over the same matter had
been settled to the apparent Satistac-

official circles in the city hail that the
board of public works and the leVee
commission are again a. outs over the
matter of paying for the work of
cleaning up the stagnant pool back of
the city's seawall. At a joint meeting
some time ago, it was decided that the
two bodies would split the cost of
making the Improvement. This seemed
totally satisfactory. But now it seeub
that a new discussion has arisen over
the proposition of paying for the work
that was done before the agreement
was made. Another joint meeting will
probably be held soon, and ii is be
lieved that the matter of payment for
the work will be settled once and for

Say Bridge Is Safe-Off Gals Of the
Tri-City street car company are up in
arms over a false report which has
been circulated to the effect that the
bridge over which their cars operate
to Campbell's island is unsafe. The
rumOr has no foundation, they say, and
they have even gone so far as to give
the structure a severe test to prove
there is no danger in operating cars
across it. The bridge is naturally
low and the high water running only d
few feet below the rails has perhaps
been responsible for the rumor getting
started" said Assistant Superintend-
ent Shelley of the Tri-City car com
pany There is absolutely no fOunda-
ton of the rumor that the bridge is IN
safe. We operate a cotton car over ii
every half hour, and if there was a
weak joint or section in it, this would
bring it to light. Davenport and Tri-
City people can feel as safe as they
ever did when crossing it" A Sunday
school picnic scheduled for the island
today had almost been abandoned be-
cause the rumor had gained such head
way TO the effect that the bridge was
unsafe. Assurances from the street
car officials, however. will cause many
to attend who had decided not to go
because of the false rumor.
