days.
A. c. Stouffer, Moline, commits
sioner of public health and safety,

health, has filed a report with the
Moline city commission, which CO
incides with that made by Alvord

HAS HERO OVER
THERE 3 YEARS

Moline has had "a war hero over
there for three years.
He has been wounded several
times.
And last, but not by any means
least, he has figured as one of the
principals in a pretty war romance,
which brought a daughter-in-law
into the family of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs Adolph Goertz, 21S Thirty
fourth street, Moline.
He is FIorent Geertz. He is of
Belgian parentage, and, naturally,
in 1914, while as an elevator con-
ductor at the Deere plant in Mo-
line, he read of the Hun hordes
sweeping over Belgium. of the
atrocities the invaders committed
upon the land of his forefathers,
his blood boiled.
And weeks and months went by
until finally he could stand it no
longer and so he announced to his
parents that he was going over
there and fight. He enlisted in the
Belgian army. Three times has he
been founded in battle. Three times
has he left the army hospitals to GO
back and fight again.
The latest word from him came
through a friend. The letter was
written April e. 1t said he had
been blind for three days. Wheth-
er he would recover his sight or not
could not be told at the time the let
ter was written.
But the letter also told that he
had married. He married a Belgian
woman, a refugee who had gone to
England. where Geertz was sent
becaue his wounds were so severe.

COUNCIL CLASH
DOES NOT COME
East Moline City Body Meets With
No Opposition Shown On
Surface to Mayor.

The rumored opposition OF the
council body to Mayor G. F. John
son did not develop at last nights
meeting of the East Moline coun-
cilmen.
Perhaps it was because the
mayor deferred announcing his list
of committees that the opposition
which it has been reported would
be shown, did not materfalize
There was nothing in the meeting
to indicate that there is a well de-
fined plan on foot to form a COM
bine against the mayor. At a spec
ial meeting on Friday, the mayor
will announce his committees. If
the rumored opposition has devel-
oped it probably will be shown at
that time.
The city councils action on the
aldermanic contest in the Second
ward last night may be interpreter
in two ways. Emil DeDoncker pre-
scented petition asking for a re-
count of the vote and contesting
Albert d. Smiths right to be seat
ed as representative form the Sec
ond ward. DeDoncker's petition
was voted to be accepted" That
was all that was done with it in
the council meeting. After the
session, some aldermen said that
the councils action was merely
receiving the petition and placing
it on file. Other aldermen said that
last nightthe action meant that
there would be a recount. 1t will
require further action by the coun-
ell to determine exactly what atti-
tude it took upon the petition in
accepting it last night.
The matter of garbage disposal
was deferred until Friday night
DR.. Ridell of the state depart
ment of health has ordered that
the city discontinue dumping garb-
age near the high school. Other
means of disposal must be deter
mined upon by the council.
Twenty saloons were licensed b.
the city body to sell liquor until
and including May 16. License
fees of $50 each were paid by the
bar owners.
: A petition for a foot bridge over
the creek at Nineteenth street and
Tenth avenue was received and re-
ferred to a committee with power
to act. "
The biggest problem now con-
fronting the council of East Mo
line and one that, will be tackled
when the special meeting is held
Friday night is the matter of city
finances. The city will be de
prived of S21 800 with the passing
of the liquorstraffic next week. OF
this sum, $4,000 was from retail
errs and $1,000 from wholesaler )
! Last year the city expended $72,-

recting the work, stated that the

The lines are white and are 10
feet inches apart. They are the
length of an ordinary motor car
and run into the 7curbing at an
angle of about fifty degrees.
Motorists, if they wish to comply
with the city ordinances, must park
their cars between the white lines.
Any car that is parked so as to
straddle the lines is parked con-
trary to traffic regulations.
In addition TO being parked be-
tween and not over the line, auto
mobiles should be SO placed as to
allow pedestrians sufficient room to
walk between cars when crossing
from one side Of the street to the
other.
