WALKS NEVER BUILT

A threat to bring legal action
against the city of Moline if a side
walk for which he paid years ago
is not laid before Sept. Is. was
read before the city commission
this morning, made by Captain &c
hung, who is in charge OF a train
ing corps at Washington university

Captain Genung stated he would
build a fence across the front 81
his property at Second street and
Eighteenth avenue, Moline, which,
he says, Will endanger night
traffic. The city commission or
dered Commissioner johnson TO re-
fund to Captain Genung, including
the interest, money which he paid
to the city.
Five years ago an ordinance or
dering the laying Of d sidewalk in
this district was passed. No side
walk can be laid on Genung's prop
erty unless a considerable amount
Of earth is used TO ill the street.
1t was understood at that time
that two nearby streets we're to be
paved and dirt thus secured would
be used for filing the street on
which the captains lot is located.
So far the streets have not been
paved and through an oversight
the sidewalk ordinance has not
been repealed, the captain still
