ELECTRIC FLAGS FOR
PUBLIC BUILDINGS?

Electric flags, one over the city hall
and one over the court house to wave
nightly as a way to instill feeling of
patriotism in the hearts of Rock Island
people, is the hope of a plan outlined
and adopted by the members of Sibo-
ney Bay camp of United Spanish War
veterans.
In a resolution the members of that
patriotic organization have petitioned
the Rock Island city commission and
the Rock Island county board to put a
large electric design of the American
flag over the city and the court house,
to be lighted nightly.
What action the city will take is not
known, but the matter will be brought
up and the petition read at the council
meeting late today.
