Under the new laws of the state. the
firms engaged in the handling of any

placed on storage for as much az one
day must mark packages, and the
cafes and restaurants and public eat
ing places that serve such foods must

Gov. Davis will offer for it, said
one of the best known men in Vir-

SEEKS TO ALTER
SKIP-STOP PLAN
Mayor Appeals to Tri-City Railway
Company to Change Street Car
System at Once.

Due to the public state of mind
in fear of hold-up men as brought
TO the attention of Mayor William
McConochie by phone calls re-
ceived at all hours of the day and
night the Rock Island mayor has
sent a communication to John G.
HuntoOn, general manager of the
Tri-City Railway company, re-
questing him to use his influence tc.
bring about an immediate aband-
ment of the skip-stop street car
service.
The mayor states that many
phone calls have been received by
him from women and fathers of
girls in this city who ask that the
mayor make an attempt to have
the skip-stop system discontinued
in favor of the old method as wo-
men fear to leave street cars at
night in cases where they are
forced to walk an extra block. In
his communication to Mr.. Huntoon
Mayor McConochie adds that the
cold weather gives an additional
reason why discontinuance of the
skip-stop system would be desir-
able at this time.
The company has previously not
flied the mayor that the present
system would be discontinued Feb.
! and as this is the case the mayor
believes that it would not be a
hardship on the company to put its
plans into effect sooner.
