Questions the Voters
Must Decide in Nest
Tuesdays Special Election

Two propositions come before the people of
Rock Island at a special election next Tuesday
One is for bond issue of 5000 to complete
the Sixteenth avenue storm drain and sewer, and
the storm drain to be constructed jointly with
Moline Forty-sixth street.
Sixty thousand dollars of this sum will be used
for the Sixteenth avenue drain, which already
has been started, construction being held up for
lack of funds under the preceding administra-
ton. It extends on Sixteenth avenue from Third
to Fifth street. on Fifth to Fifteenth avenue,
Fifteenth. to Ninth street. Ninth to Twelfth
avenue and on Twelfth to Eleventh street, where
it will connect with the existing system.
The Sixteenth avenue drain is designed to
take of the district between Ninth and
Twenty-third avenues as far east Twenty-frst
street Water from this must find
outlet through the Fifth avenue sewer, which
long ago was taxed past its limit. The drain
is big enough for all present and future needs,
being 6xIO feet at the mouth the height being
decreased as laterals diverge from it.
Fifteen thousand dollars is needed for the
FOrty-s1xth street drain, which is intended to
serve district far east as Thirty-eighth street
and south beyond the present city limits. A con-
tract already has been let for construction, the
expense to be equally divided between Rock Is
land and Moline, and if the bonds not voted
it will have to be financed by cutting down the
appropriations for some necessary branch of the
municipal service.
Not in years has the city been in such good
shape with respect to bonded Indebtedness as
Outstanding liabilities Of this character to
be paid out of the general fund aggregate but
$25, 900, which is far below the average in a long
term of years No bonds to be retired out of the
general fund have been voted for six years and
in the period intervening there has been steady
reduction of the citys debt
1t is proposed to retire the storm drain bonds
in 10 years, at the rate of $500 annually
The other question before the voters concerns
the annexing of tract east of Twenty-frst
street and north of Thirty-frst avenue. Ninety
per cent of the voters and the property owners in
that area have petitioned the city for admission
If majority votes approval the project will be
ratified, the southeast boundary of the city will
be Strengthened and rapidly growing district
added to the municipality.
The two storm drains are not improvements
that the city get along without and continue
to grow. The petition for annexation is not
something that just happened. Much hard work
has been done to prepare it ct will be calam-
ity," Mayor Schriver says, eff either question
fails to carry.
And that's the truth

LIFE OF CARRIER
NOT ALL GRAPES,
POSTWAR STATES

Maybe you think the life of the
! postman is all grapes these days
with the postoffice department go
ing into the grocery business.
Nope, there's no gravy attached
now to the job.
No sooner than the department
surplus army food for sale, 10 days
ago, than the postman's life dur
ing working hours became bitter.
There was hardly home on his
beat that did not besiege him with
questions relative to the prices.
Put me down for case of peas, ;"
he heard at every turn, and then
he had to explain in each case that
final orders had not been received
in the matter.
Put me down, anyway, and
when you get the word, why re-
member me-" would come back the
reply.
And then each day he would
have to answer dozens of questions
from dozens of householders, eager
for the latest news of the army
food sale.
That was 10 days ago.
Now, the postmen find that it is
hard to get over their territory in
the required time. Where there
were one or two inquiries before
there are dozens now.
The postofice was swamped with
inquiries this morning, some peo-
pie appearing ready to purchase the
goods. They were told that 8
Monday morning is the official time
for the opening of placing orders.
Being a postman in the old days
wasn't such bad business when you
only carried mail, but this grocery
boy stuff isn't making a strong hit
with the carriers.
