consider an ordinance submitted by
commissioner JGhl which provides
for the paving Of Forty-fourth street

scription necessitates that all the

Price of Chemical Used to Remove Col.

Moline Council Acts.

Effect of the war in Europe has been
manifested in Moline in an unexpected
way. The gigantic conflict that is rag
ing on the other side of the Atlantic
has affected the color of the water
that the city furnishes to he people OF
Moline. Interference of the war with
Moline's water has become so serious
that the Moline city council, on rec
ommendation of Commissioner W. A.
Macbeth and City Chemist Fritze. this
morning took action with a view 10
stopping it-not the war, but the in
reference.
When war was declared the price
Of hypochloride of lime, which is the
chemical used to remove color from
the water, was 21a cents a pound.
With every month Of the war the price
has increased until it is now nine
cents a pound.
AS a very large quantity of this
chemical is necessary to bleach the
water of the muddy Mississippi into
d tIedIHtSS tldL Will not OHeHu the
senses of consumers, it is readily ap-
parent how great has been the prob
lem that has confronted officials at the
water pumping station
The ultimate solution, it is believed
has been found in the installation OF
liquid chlorine apparatus, purchase
of which has now been decided upon
Bids were opened by the Moline city
council this morning, two being enter
ed and both from New York firms
Wallace &, Tieran propose to install
the apparatus for S575, the Electro
Bleaching Gas company for $625. Bids
were laid over for 4S hours.
One pound of liquid chlorine will
bleach more water than several
pounds of hypochloride of lime. so
should the price of the latter again
drop to normal, a saving of approx
imately $400 a year will still be affect
ed. While the price Of the 'hypo" re-
mains where it is now. the saving will
| be several times this sum.
