Ing SCHOOL TAX per cent
Probably the heaviest vote in a
school election in years will be cast
tomorrow.
Although the election of directors
in the past has brought out only
light vote, interest in the ballot
ing tomorrow has been intensified
by a referendum on the matter of
increasing the school taxes from
2 to 8 per cent.
To the furtherance of successful
ly carrying the tax increase at the
polls tomorrow, the board of educa-
ton has conducted a press CAM
paign in the newspapers, pointing
out the needs of the increased
money and showing how impossible
it will be for the city to build
schools without the revenue the ad-
ditional tax will give. 1t has been
pointed out on all sides that the
added revenue is greatly needed.
and there is little question in the
minds of the friends of the schools
but that Rock Island will follow

FLAMES RAGE WHILE FIRE
FIGHTERS STRIKE

With two-thirds of Cleveland's
firemen absent from the stations in
their effort to enforce the eight-hour'
day, fire broke out in the four-story
Euclid building, in the heart of the
downtown section.
A general alarm brought twelve
fire companies to the scene. The
flames had gained such Roadway that
hope of saving the Euclid building
was abandoned and efforts were d.
reeted to check the spread OF the
blaze to the adjoining buildings.
With the arrival of nifty firemen
who were of duty, including sew
eral engineers who named idle en-
gines. the fire was put under control.
The Euclid building was entirely de-
stroyed. Fire Chief Wallace estimated
the loss at 100000.
