ObJEcToRSAcAIN
BLOCKING PAVING
Despite DepiorabIe Condition of Tween.
tieth Street. Improvement is
Being Held Up.
CONSTANT DELAY ENCOUNTERED
Property Owners From Eleventh to
Eighteenth Avenues, File New
Petition With Board.

Indications are that another delay
in the much needed paving OF Tween
tieth street, will be encountered An
nouncement is made today by City At
tOrney j. X. Scott that a petition had
been filed with the board Of local i'm
proyements asking for the paving OF
that thoroughfare from Eleventh to
Eighteenth avenue, dropping the low
er part of the original project The
board has not acted on this new re-
quest for the improvement of the
street, but if it recommends it, the
former plan will be dropped.
Objections to the final confirmation
Of the assessment roll for paving the
street from Seventh to Eighteenth
avenues, were filed in county court
and after several hearings, Judge n. A.
Larson, although he has not given his
formal ruling, intimated that he did
not believe that the block between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth was in
need of repair at the present time and
that he felt there should be a read
iustment of the assessment for the
street from Ninth to Eleventh avenues,
To comply with the courts last sug-
geStiOn, would mean spreading a new
assessment roll and as the city was
not in a position to assume any finan-
cial burden for the work and it was
not desired to raise the assessments,
the city has not pressed the case.
Property owners between Eleventh
and Eighteenth avenues are anxious
for the Improvement and it is probable
this project will go through without
opposition. They are weary of the
pickering and delay with the street in
its present condition.
No Reason for Delay.
This is the first time in recent
years that DIRECTORS to a needed i'm
provement in Rock Island have been
able TO block it," declared a promi-
nent business man of the city TODAY,
1t is especially regrettable because
Twentieth street is one of the most i'm
portant thoroughfares into the hill dis
trlct. On this street live some of the
wealthiest people of the city who can
easily afford the improvement. 1t was
highly important that the street be put
in presentable shape for the approach
ing Fort Armstrong centennial cele-
bratlon when as matter of civic
pride, Rock Island should desire to
look its best. The street should have
been paved year ago. Those having
occasion to use it claim it is almost
impossible and cannot see any justifi-
cation for the constant delay in in
staIling the needed improvement"

or said the commission decided if the
retailers who have wholesale houses
will pay the wholesale license fee, 5000
year, the saloon ordinance will not
be amended. If it is amended it will
be changed so that the amount retail
ers can sell will be specified.
Need More Revenue.
we can use all the revenue We can
get" Mayor McConochie said. "Anoth-
er thing we are going after is branch
offices of wholesale plants. Some
wholesale dealers have three or four
branch offices. We will demand IL
cense fee for each. One will not be
enough to cover all of them. A brew
cry has placed a wholesale house on
Forty-siXth street near Sixth avenue
It will have to have a license. The one
the company has is not general per
nit. 1t covers only the brewery"

Making Great Record.
The Modern Woodmen sanatorium,
at the foot of Cedar mountain in Col
orado and occupying an ideal site near
the famed Garden of the Gods has
accomplished a great humanitarian
work in the seven years of its opera
ton. Up to Jan. /. 1916, total of
2520 patients had been under terat-
ment. of whom 1852 had been dis
charged, leaving 16S still in the insti-
tuition at that time The superintend
ent's report showed 1,494 cases saved
out of the total of 1852 discharged
during this period, or IS per cent-a
most unusual record and remarkable
testimony to the efficiency of the treat
ment followed under DR.. Rutledge's
supervision.

TIGHT |N.TRE
COUNTY TODAY
JUDGE ISSUES INJUNCTION
AGAINST SEVERAL PLACES
WHERE 1T is ALLEGED THE
LAW is BEING VIOLATED.

County attorney Hardy appeared
before the district court yesterday
and asked that injunctions be grant
ed against several resorts in the city
and county and that the sheriff be in
structed to close the places and keep
them closed until further orders of
the court.
The injunction was granted and the
order issued as prayed for and two al
legged resorts in Ragtown were order
ed closed as well as four places in
that portion of the city of Ardmore
known as the reservation. The sher-
if will proceed to carry out the or
ders OF the court at once.
1t is alleged that the places desig-
mated in the petition have been har-
boring habitual violaters of the law
and for the benefit of the good name
Of the county should be closed perma-
nently.
1t is estimated that this is but the
beginning OF a crusade in the county
that will rid it of all undesirable
characters.
