SECOND LIBERTY
BONDS COUPONS
MAY BE CLIPPED

The government is distributing

This amount represents months

bonds. Illinois share of this Will
buy a good many thousand dollars
worth of war savings stamps, and
the war savings organization Tor
Illinois, of which Martin A. Ryer-
son is director, urges that the
money be invested in this manner.
The treasury department, in state
ment issued today, also points out
the Importance of compromising the
bond interest. The statement says:

pays interest on the per cent

Liberty bond coupons should be
clipped promptly, and at once re-
invested. Thriftless money, or
money which lies idle, is of no ben

Money should be put to work where
it can earn the most in the sarest
way, just as an individual should be
kept busy.
The government, following inc

RESIDENTS ASK
TERRITORY Be
PART OF CITY
Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last
Night Proves Sentiment for
Annexation.
MEANS SPECIAL ELECTION
City Commission Attends Meeting
and Discovers Wants of
PeOple-Against Cemetery.

A request that ali unannexed
territory in the township outside
of the corporate limits of the city
of Rock Island be Immediately
taken into the city as part of the
municipality, was the result of the
enthusiastic meeting held in the
open adjoining the residence of
Mrs. William Matthey on Thirty
first avenue, last night.
With the exception of Commits
sioner Frank WITCH, who was I'M
able to attend, the entire city COM
mission, including Mayor Harry
Schriver, was present and almost
300 residents of the territory were
also there. The sentiment of the
people who reside in the unannexed
territory from Twenty-first street
to Forty-sixth street seemed to be
unanimously in favor of the pro-
posed annexation.
The meeting last night was en-
tirely informal and was addressed
by Mayor Schriver who declared
the commission was present merely
to sound the sentiment of the
people and ascertain whether or no
they would desire annexation at the
present time. The mayors talk was
followed by that of Commissioners
Rudgren, Murrin and Fitzsimmons.
Opposed to Cemetery.
1t is in this district that the es-
tablishment of a Jewish cemetery
has been proposed, project which
the residents OF the territory are
strongly opposing. The plans for
the burying ground have already
! been drawn and a considerable in
NRstment Of money in the project
has already been made
Il do not take the stand against
the Jewish people establishing a
cemetery in the territory" said
Mayor Schriver last night, al
though the future must be looked
out for. In time, all of this un-
annexed territory will become part
of this city, whether during the
present administration or not is
wholly immaterial, and a ceme-
terry within the city limits is strict
ly against the law. Certain objec-
tions against the burying of the
dead within a residence district
think some other location which is
OuISIue the city llulItos tOUld u
found"
To Hold Election.
Sounded out as to their sentt-
ment on the holding of a special
election the residents were almost
unanimous for immediate action on
the proposition. Only three objec-
lions were made and these were
NOT strenuous ones.
The cost of a special election
will be in the neighborhoOd Of
81 500 and this sum must come out
of the taxpayers pockets. The
largest item in the election will be
for the judges and clerks and the
suggestion was made by the COM
mission that some way could be
found whereby the costs of the
clerks could be eliminated. One
way would be for the clerks to vol
Rnteer their services for the ore
day or night and the commission
admitted that this suggestion,
which was offered last night, is a
good one
Will Be Improvement.
Mayor Schriver, in discussing the
meeting held last night, stated to-
day that the annexation will be bet

Out From Milan,
Especial to The Argus

Springfield, ILL.,, May 15.-The
state department of public works
today awarded a Rock Island coun-
ty improved state aid road con-
tract to White & Bradley of Litch-
field.
The proposed improvement" is
section E, route 8, to be built of
earth for a distance of 1884 feet
out from Milan. The contract cost
is $9,045.
Cameron, Joyce & Co. of Keo-
kuk, Iowa, was awarded the con-
tract of constructing the state aid
road, sections E and F of route
in Henry county Both run out
from Cambridge, section E for 3D.
$50 feet and section F for $500
feet, and are to be built of oiled
earth. The contract price for sec
ton E is $20,310 and for section F
is $3,S27.
Rock Island county seems to be
doomed to get a highway graded
under the guise of a state aid road
With the contract let by the de-
partment of public works at
Springfield, there is little now that
can be done to change the material
to be used from earth to something
which will give better service and
which will prove more durable.
AS far as can be figured out, the
work on the road which will ex-
tend out of Milan into Bowling
township will amount to nothing
more than grading the road with
the installing of some cuIverts.
Grading by Township.
In the past grading Of roads has
been left entirely up to the town
ship highway officers and all state
aid road work which was done in
the county was planned as a per-
manent highway improvement.
