MOLINE'S COUNCIL TO
WAGE WAR ON SIGNS

A war on signs has been declared
by Commissioner Ed. Ericsson of Mo-
line.
In going over the new code of ordi-
nances which is now being prepared
for publication in book form by Attor-
ney Axel Kohler, the council was
struck by an ordinance that requires
that all signs must be at least eight
feet above the sidewalk and must not
extend over the sidewalk for a dis
lance of more than three feet
The number of signs that violate
this ordinance is increasing almost
daily. They are not only unsightly,
but they are a menace whenever there
is a heavy windstorm. such as those
which visit Moline two or three
times every summer, The council de-
cided that the ordinance should be
vigorously enforced
Commissioner Ericsson, however as
commissioner Of streets, has jurisdic-
ton over the matter. His men will
go over the city and prepare a list OF
all signs that violate the ordinance
This list will be turned over to Com
missioner Stouffer and Chief of Police
Bisant, who in turn will notify own
ers of the signs that they must come
down. Refusals OF course, will be fol
lowed by arrest
There are probably 400 signs that
violate the ordinance within the
square bounded by Sixteenth and Fiji
teenth streets and Fifth and Sixth
avenues. This gives an indication
of what cleanup is proposed,

Capacity of st. AnthOny's Hospital
Taxed With Patients, but COnges-
ton Is Being Relieved.

Congested conditions in St. An
thongs hospital are returning to nor
NAL. During the last week there have
been So patients in the hospital, the
largest number ever cared for at the
institution.
Without doubling up in rooms or
placing additional cots in halls the
hospital can comfortably care for 70
patients, it was announced by the SUI
perintendent today. The increased
number of patients had to be cared
for, however, and in some rooms addi-
tional beds were placed, while in the
corridors cots were put up. Hospital
authorities said that during the fall
and spring of the year the hospital is
usually taxed to capacity
The crowding necessary to accom-
modate all seeking admission to the
hospital, points out the need of addi-
tfOnal quarters. which may be consid-
cred in the near future.
