City pattern refers to the kind of
culverts for catch basins that are
to be used in constructing the pave
ment. And the city specifications
say that these catch basins are to
be built according to "city pat
tern"
Because "city pattern" means
nothing, they say, and because of
its vagueness, DIRECTORS claim the
ordinance is illegal. The princi-
pal DIRECTORS are Louis Cleveland
and William Wilson.
The city declares that the term
has a we'll defined meaning to con-
tractors and that there is a drawing
on file i'll the city engineers flee
describing exactly what kind of
catch basin should be used in pave

ROCK ISLANDERS
NEARLY INJURED
AS CARS STRIKE
Loose Brakes Put Five Passengers
in Danger When Touring Car
and Truck Collide.
Especial Moline Service.)

Loose brakes nearly cost seri-
Gus injury to five Rock Islanders
passengers in a touring car driven
by Mrs. W. J. Framing, 1911 Thirty
eighth street, Rock Island, which
collided with a truck driven by ".
H. Bedell, 2507 Seventh avenue,
Rock Island, at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Tenth street, Moline,
about 7:45 this morning.
AS Mrs. Framing neared the in
tersection she noticed the truck ap-
preaching on the avenue from the
west She put on her brakes, but
driver, not realizing that the brakes
were not sufficiently tight to hold
the machine, started across. AS
the cars met near the crossing,
each driver turned away from the
other but the impact sent the light
truck down Tenth. street while the
touring machine struck a fire plug
on the northeast corner just above
the curb.
After her car was lifted off the
plug by passing workmen, and al
though the right front spring was
mashed and the car was in con-
slant danger of being let down to
the ground because the loose leaf
holding the body up on the axle
might slip, Mrs. Flaming started
for the garage. The truck was I'M
damaged.
Mrs. Framing was taking neigh
bors to work.
