FOR CLEAN CITY
NExTTWO WEEKS
commissioner Juhl Places Large Force
OF Men at Work to Place Streets
in Immaculate Shape.
AIM TO MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION
Expect to Keep Thoroughfares Spot
less During Time Large Crowds
Will Be in Rock Island.

The city of Rock Island is alive to its
opportunity to make a good impress
sion on visitors here during the next
two weeks. Commissioner \. L. Juhl
intends to do his share, and according
ly today instructed workmen to begin
cleaning the streets throughout the
city.
A large force will be employed until
the Eagles convention the coming
week. and the centennial the week af
ter, are over. The plan of Commits
sioner Juhl is to first give the entire
city scrubbing and then keep work
men busy continually throughout the
resident section as we'll as the loop,
SO that no great amount of dirt will
collect.
The streets in the business section
have received more attention than
those in the resident section during the
past but during the coming fortnight
the loop will have nothing on the rest
of the city and dirt on the thorough
fares is expected to be mighty scarce.
To Buy Sweeper.
Commissioner Juhl is investigating
different types of street cleaners. Since
the Finch machine. which was found
lacking, in his opinion, was returned to
the manufactures, the street commits
sioner has made a study of other street
cleaning devices. He is DESTROYS of Sc
curing a machine which will sprinkle
ahead of the sweeper and which will
carry the dust into covered wagon.
