Cial announcement made this morning
by William Carstens, secretary of the
Business Mems association of Moline,
East Moline and Silvis, who. having
sounded most of the merchants on the
proposition of closing, takes for
granted that those whom he has not
questioned will fall in line.
Even the meat markets will be
closed all day. inaSmuch as the holi-
day falls on Tuesday. Time was when
the meat dealer kept their places of
business open for couple of hours in
the mornings. Sunday and holidays,
but this is done now only when the
holiday falls on Saturday or Monday.
Since the markets are closed all day
Sunday. it is not considered a hard
ship on the consumers if the shops
close one week day.

EAST MOLINE NEEDS
A NEW INTAKE PIPE

Movement is on foot in East Moline
to extend the water system of that
place by installing an additional in
take pipe north Of the Tri-City Rail-
way company's bridge to provide for
future growth of the factory district,
idea being to use the water conducted
through the new pipe chiefly for fac
tory and fire purposes. The plan will
be presented to the city council at the
next meeting of that body.
Persons behind the project realize
that with the constant growth of East
Moline it will be necessary some time
in the future to enlarge the water sup
ply, and they feel there is no better
| time than the present to make proyi'
sion for the growth.
