tenance involved Without as far as we can see any plans, plats, specifications as to building wells, machinery, pumps, suction, or mo- tive power submitted whatever!
 The Industrial Worker will not hazard the assertion that the power company has not had good thing in the pumping contract. We believe it undoubtedly has had. lc is asserted that the company made nothing on it's contract price for the past year, and that it has offer ed to show it's books for that pur- pose It is possible that now that an internal combustion engine Is used instead of steam as the motive power in that plant, they find that the pumping contract requiring extra consumption of fuel is not the convenient thing it once was. Be that as it may be, there Is | for all that no reason why the council should embark upon this business in hap hazard manner and in such an unscientifc way as is now in evidence.
 If they are doing these thing in careful prudent way among themselves, and failure to know this is due to the fact that these things have not been made the subject oi deliberation at the council meetings, then it shows that the council off cials do not appreciate the public nature of their functions, nor tha, public meetings are for the purpose of carrying on the business of the city solely.
 This paper has brief from nc one in this matter. It is wholly i'm material whether the city or the power company supply water fol the fire mains provided both ons and the other can give satisfacto ry service. But it is matter o1 importance that more important matters should be side tracked while the people are aviated like the mayor and the councilmer among a cloud of dream castles con cerning a pumping plant abou which they know very little ant are likely to know less as time goes on, following their presen methods.
 There are more important matter and one of them is the coal suppl. for Nome which while it may be Il the hands of private firm, is stil matter which affects the well be ing of every individual resident O

miner in this section.
 We believe that the city can eff feet perfectly satisfactory pump ing plant establishment which will in the long run represent a saving to the city if the proper administra- tion and maintenance is arrangen for. But not single alderman and certainly not the Mayor, have shown the public any plans for the future, specific and definite, any estimates as to costs of construc- ton foundation, maintenance o! operation, or have done one single solitary thing in practical man. ner which would show this to DC possible.

Nav Release Chauffeur,

Upon hearing that Mrs. Louise
Snow, kidnaper Of her daughter, Anna
Lee Garrett, had been seen in Rock
Island Sunday, Sheriff Lutrell of Mer-
GER county Immediately began an in
vestigation. AS a result Mrs. Snow
and Mr.. Messick, her chauffeur on the
night that she stole her daughter from
the Henderson home here, were
brought to Aledo Thursday night and
were lodged in Jail. Mrs. Snow will
be detained in jail, while it is believ-
ed that Mr.. Messick will be turned
loose. He has told all that he knows
about the case, stating among other
things that had he known the purpose
of his trip to Aledo on the night Of
the kidnapping he would have driven
Mrs. Snow and her client Immediately
to the Jail He states that nothing
was said to him of the real purpose
of the trip to Aledo that night. He
was told by the lawyer adviser of Mrs
Snow, when he hired him to drive the
machine to Aledo, that he was going
to bring a woman friend and her child
home with him. The lawyer in the
case has not been located. It is ex-
pected that he and Lucille Garrett,
aunt of the child in the case, will be
brought to justice.

MAY Build New ROads-News of
comprehensive plan of good road i'm
provement in Scott county through
bond issue of between 100000 and
100000 leaked out here yesterday. Il
means the building OF miles OF the
best hard roads in Iowa if the project
is carried out. In view OF the fact that
the annual meeting of the Davenport
Auto club will take place next Tues
day evening it is probable that the
plan will be presented at that time
and that preliminary steps will be
taken then to present the big project
to the county supervisors. Nine cOun-
ties in Iowa have already bonded
themselves to construct hard roads
and the hackers of the plan evidently
be backward to follow their example
in such laudable field Of endeavor.
Take Firemen Examinations
Twenty-four candidates took the eX-
animation for firemen at the city hall,
and of these, Is passed the eXamina-
ton. Two of the candidates were for
reinstatement. The examinations were
conducted by the police and fire COM
missioners Physical examinations
were being conducted yesterday, ana
of the eight men examined thus far,
two have failed to pass the physical
tests, forcing them to drop out. The
final report, 1t has been announced
will not be ready until Monday. Ten
men are needed in the fire department
it the present time, and when the can
didates have passed the physical ex-
aminations, the required number will
be selected.
Two Scarlet Fever Cases-Alice
Mason, 218 East Twelfth street and

Office OF the board Of public works yes
terday. 1t was TO James Dalton, for
the erection Of a garage at 226 Han
cock avenue, at a cost Of 500.

Recruiting Men Get Help-An added
impetus was given the Davenport
branch OF the United States army re-
cruiting service by the arrival of
three new men from Jefferson bar
racks, Mo. Major Dawson, in charge
of the local Office, had applied several
weeks ago for the additional men, but
so great had been the demand rom
other Offices, that Davenport had to
wait for some time before the addition
10 the force arrived. Then men will
be sent Immediately to other points in
the district. Otto Ernst goes to Bur-
Iington to assist Sergeant Fred M.
