NEEDWORKHOUSE

Special Body Appointed by Board Of
Supervisors Drafts Report at
Meeting Yesterday.
1T WILL BE READ on MONDAY
Local Conditions Make II Difficult to
Map Out Basis Of Establishing
County Institution.

Members Of the special committee
appointed by the board Of supervis-
ors TO investigate the proposition OF a
county workhouse held final meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the court
house. at which time a report was
drafted which will be submitted to the
board at its initial session next Mon
day afternoon and which points the
need of such an institution.
The committee made a trip of in
vestigation and was especially i'm
pressed with the results which are
being accomplished at the Quincy in
stitution. There the ball and chain"
plan is used by which the cost Of su-
pervision of the men is considerably
lessened. However, this feature is
both praised and condemned, some OF
the citizens being opposed to the prac-
tice of humiliating prisoners and sub
iecting them to undue public ridicule.
Local Conditions Bother.
There are several conditions in Rock
Island county which make it difficult
to map out plans for county work
house. The fact that there are three
clues IN the county ana tldt Jne CO
operation Of each is required to make
the institution a success, is the biggest
problem to be faced Then the ques-
ton of site bothers. 1t is taken for
granted that the prisoners would have
to be given work at breaking rock,
and this will necessitate the securing
OF an option on or the purchase Of a
stone quarry.

Rock Island automobile owners who
are operating with License applied
for" plates were placed on the pan
when Chief of Police Phil Miller and
Commissioner J. H Liedtke received
a protest today from dealer who had
been stopped by the police.
The session. short as it was, may
mean an order emanating from the
police department to the effect that
dealers will have to place their names
on the plates back of the cars so that
police viii be able to distinguish be-
tween cars in the possession of deal
ers and those privately owned.
Chief Miller cannot understand how
there happen to be so many cars
operating in Rock Island with Iii
Icensed applied for plates. When the
owners are picked up they tell the
authorities that they have made appli-
cation with the state for licenses and
that is the extent of the investigation.
The chief is insistent that some
measure be taken to curb the number
of these violations and plans to make
an extensive investigation of all ma
chimes bearing no license numbers.
The chief believes that there num-

license has been applied for.

dealers. He charges that some are

poses with no licenses and declares
( that while this may be proper, it is in
convenient for the patrolmen as they
have no means of knowing that the
car is not privately owned
! Dealer Takes Initiative.
| One dealer who was present at the
meeting announced his intention of
placing signs on the back of all of
his cars with his name on them and
the name Of the salesman so that pO-
lice will be informed.
