BOARD DECIDES
i. ON GROUND FOR
YAIL BUILDING
EIks' Property On Fifteenth Street
to Be Purchased for Con-
sideratiOn Of $12,50O.

Rock Island county's new Jail
will be located on the east side of
Fifteenth street between Second
and Third avenues.
The board of supervisors in
meeting yesterday afternoon voted
to purchase the property, which is
owned by the Rock Island lodge of
Elks. The plot has a frontage of
100 feet and a depth of $50 feet.
The price is S12,500, a cost of over
1920 per foot frontage.
The site was recommended by
the Jail committee and was carried
by vote of 25 to s. Incorporation
being expressed mainly by super
visors of rural townships.
Opponents Of the purchase at
tempted to block proceedings by
Offering a motion to have the prop
Osition Of a site submitted to a
vote of the people at the coming
fall election. The motion was made
by supervisor Hanna. Consider
aHe discussion of the matter en-
Aed and the attitude of the board
was clearly defined Concensus OF
opinion was to the effect that the
people were looking for definite ac-
Their delay in making the purchase
would cause more dissatisfaction.
Supervisor Fred Graflund called
attention to the fact that the county
had not yet complied in full with
the ruling of the supreme court as
regards the removal of every yes
tige OF the Jail from the courthouse
square in that the heating plant
still remains. He stated that ten
tative understanding with the other
side in the litigation exists, by
which a demand for the removal of
the heating plant would not be
pressed until the new Jail has been
constructed.
Vote on the motion was 20 to s.
Start Work Soon.
It Il planned to get started on the
actual construction of the jail
within a short time The site is
directly opposite the east entrance
to the courthouse and is consid-
cred desirable in every respect. A
dilapidated frame residence is 10
Gated on the property at present,
but this will entail only a short
period for demolishing. 1t is be-
1ieved likely that a driveway will
extend along the north side of the
proposed building, which will az

ments of Second avenue buildings

Motion was made that a petition
signed by % members of the board
expressing preference towards the
expenditure of state money in the

adopted in its present form as

Speedorneter

Though the Corbin-Brown Ford
Special Speedometer has been accord
ed leadership for years, Corbin en-
gineers have succeeded in developing
it to still greater degree of perfec-
ton.
Two exclusive and indispensable
features have been added which still
further emphasize its supremacy
the Maximum Speed Hand and
Luminous Dial
The Maximum Speed Hand fills a
long-standing demand for a device
that will register the highest speed
made on long trip or short run,
Without being watched With. this in
vention, the Ford owner can now keep
his eyes focused on the road, know
ing the highest speed is being accu-
rately recorded and that it will be
held until he has an opportunity of
reading it at his leisure. He then can
trip the hand back to zero instantly.
The Luminous Dial makes possible an easy
reading of the speedometer at night The
hands and figures stand out clearly and show
the speed and mileage at glance.
The mechanically simple construction OF the
Corbin-Brown Speedometer, its super-strength
and absolute accuracy at any speed, under all
sorts of adverse driving conditions, and its
rugged dependabiIity in withstanding long-con-
tinued usage, know no counterpart in speedo-
meter building.
Head Mechanism
The Corbin-Brown head is built on the CEN
trifugal principle, making it imperVious to sud
den temperature changes, extremes of heat or
cold, electrical disturbances. 1t, therefore,
is entirely independent of electric starters,
electric lighting systems, etc.
The compound governors of the Corbin-
Brown make it, exceedingly sensitive. They
absorb all road shocks, jolts, jars and vibra-
lions, the indicating hands remaining abso
1ute1y steady and firm at all times and register
ing accurately as low as two miles an hour.
