passed by the Moline council of
aldermen was adopted last even
ing and involves $4,000 worth of
paving.
The ordinance which provides
for the paving in this vicinity was
taken up by the Moline commits
sioners just before they went out
of office nearly a month ago. The
ordinance is for the paving in the

James Johnston, city attorney, to
take steps to have the Fourth ave-

teenth to Twenty-third avenue.
The council at its discussion init
mated that it is going to compel
the Tri-City Railway company to
extend the line, which they prom

VISITING NURSE
LEAGUE LEADER
Woman's Organization IN East Mo-
line Perfected-Plan Dedica-
ton and Dance.

Miss Belle Smith, East Moline
community visiting nurse, was last
evening unanimously elected presi-
dent of the East Moline Commun-
ity league, an organization which
had been in the making for several
weeks, but which was effected last
evening at the East Moline Y. NJ.
c. A.
Other officers named unanimous
ly and who were recommended by
the nominating committee are:
Vice president-Miss Ann Ken
nedy.
Secretary-Mrs. Roy Anderson
Treasurer-Miss Dorothy Peter
son.
The name for the organization
was selected and agreed upon last
evening and reports from the con-
stitutional committee were made,
but nothing decided on definitely.
The first act and undertaking to
be taken hold OF by the new league
is the dedication of the Fairgrounds
grounds of the Y. M G. A Plans
recreation grounds on Memorial
day. Miss Dorothy Peterson was
named chairman of a committee
which she is to choose to prepare
azprogram for the event. There
are no other Memorial day exer-
cises to be held in the city. 1t
was suggested that a flag raising
exercise take place at the same
time. Financially the league was
not able to undertake to buy flag
pole and all necessities, so the mat
ter was dropped.
Although the league is in no way
connected with the Y. M. c. A and
there is no utilization between the
two, the Y association has agreed
to help the Woman's organization
by giving them four large rooms
to have as their headquarters. The
rooms are connected and one is
located just above the Y kitchen.
The Y authorities have offered to
install a dumb waiter from the
kitchen so that serving might be
done in the women's rooms.
Another undertaking by the
league is a community dance. The
affair will be given Saturday: June
Z, in the Eagles hall of East Mo-
line. The Order of Eagles have
donated the hall. The tickets will
be printed free. The Deere & Co.
band has willingly lent its band for
the occasion and help from every
organization is being offeerd. Mrs.
Charles Auers was chosen chair
man of a committee to plan for
the dance. The idea of the affair
is to raise 5000 needed by the
league to carry through its play
grounds and other projects during
the summer months. The tickets
will sell at 81 and 10 cents war
tax.
Miss jeanette McF'arquhar. sec
rotary of the Lend-a-Hand of Dav-
export, told the % women who
attended last evenings meeting,
what the various organizations OF
Davenport did and are doing to
help it's association. They started
no rooms, said Miss McFarquhar.
She said that East Moline ought
to do we'll, for they have a fine
beginning. A beautiful camp out
side of Mcclellan heights was this
year donated to the Lend-a-Hand
and although it will mean an ex-
penditure of $4,000 or $4,000 to the
club, Miss McFarquhar said they
were going to see it through. They
now have a membership of 1000;
they have shipped three carloads
of clothing overseas; they have
donated $4,000 to war funds and
they have an ambulance working
in France.
