DAY IN ALEDO

The December term of court recon
vened yesterday after a recess, Judge
W. T. Church presiding. The first case,
that of Boruff vs. Wolf, ct al, was
taken up at once This is a case for
division OF land, which has been
hanging fire since the April term. Mr..
Wolf, the plaintiff in the case, is in
PRODUCING evidence In an endeavor to
prove that deed which he received
from Messrs. Boruff, defendants, is
a absolute deed, while the latter par
ties claim that it is only a mortgage.
In a previous hearing the master in
chancery ruled against the plaintiff,
and the case as now being heard is an
exception to the masters report. The
case is being bitterly contested on
both sides and will probably have a
duration of at least three days.
The new fixtures for the Davis bar
Der shop arrived the latter part of

ROCK ISLAND The
MUDD|EST COUNTY
State Highway Engineer Says Roads In
This Vicinity Are the Worst
in His District.
ESTABLISHES OFFICE IN MOLINE
Draughtsmen Drawing Plans for I'M
prOvement Work to Be Submitted
to Board OF Supervisors.

Seventy-five miles Of hard roads will
be built this year in the district, which
includes IA counties, under jurisdiction
of H. T. Surman, engineer for the state
highway commission, who has estab-
lished headquarters on the sixth floor
of the Peoples bank building, Moline.
While Moline is pleased to have that
city made headquarters and looks for
ward to better roads in this vicinity
through efforts of Mr.. Surman and his
staff, the reason why Moline was chos-
en- for headquarters is not exactly COM
plimentary.
Mr.. Surman decided to carry on his
work from here because of all the IA
counties under his Jurisdiction, Rock
Island county has the worst roads. Be-
cause Moline is centrally located he de-
cided his work in pulling this county
out of the mud could be best done from
that city.
Mr.. Surman already has staff of
10 draughtsmen at work drawing plans
for road improvement work which will
be submitted to the county board of
supervisors at the March session.
Because Of the big population of
this county the engineer is in favor of
paving with brick for distance of
five miles, all main roads leading from
Moline, Rock Island and East Moline,
into the country. At the end Of five
miles brick would be replaced by other
materials which would insure good
hard roads the year around.
To Direct Bridge Building.
The Colona bridge matter is attract
ing a great deal of the engineers time
and attention. If the price is right
and contract is let, April s, man
from his Office will be placed in charge
of its construction to see that all spec
ifications are complied with. Present
plans for the bridge call for a struc-
ture that will be three feet higher than
the high water mark, reached in 1888,
and as a result the approaches to the
bridge and the three-Quarters of mile
of road on this side will have to be
improved with funds obtained in some
other manner. The approach from the
Henry county side is only half as long
as the approach from the Rock Island
county side so the expense will be less
to Henry county.
Work on the roads will be started as
soon as weather permits, according to
Mr.. Surman. When work in this dis
trict is in full operation the engineer
expects to have more than thirty men
employed in his office here.
