ALIENS SEEKING
TAX EXEMPTION
General Rush Of NOn-Citizens at
Naturalization Office Experience
ed Last Thirty Days.

A general rush of aliens to the
office of George Schrader, clerk of
Moline city court, has been exper-
fenced during the last 80 days
More applications have been plac-
ed during the time than have been
in the same period during the his
tory of the court.
The rush is placed as being due
to the income tax law relative to
aliens who fail to declare their in
tentions of becoming citizens. An
per cent tax is imposed on the
incomes of those not citizens or
those who have not made applica
ton for naturalization. Taxes must
be paid by aliens on gross incomes
The amounts of the incomes are
not considered No exemptions of
any kind are allowed
Naturalization papers of Is per
sons were filed in the clerks office
last Saturday That number usu-
ually is recorded as an entire
business First papers
need not necessarily be filed to es-
cape the per cent tax, it is ex-
planned, but a sworn declaration
must be recorded.
A total of SO persons have filed
their first papers since Feb. l, and
the daily number of applicants is
said to be increasing.

SEWAGE CAUSES
MORE PROTESTS
East Moline Municipal Body Directs
City Attorney TO Ask Probe by
State Health Board

Receipt of numerous additional
complaints about the unhealthy
conditions brought about by the
passage of sewage from the Silvis
shops into East Moline territory,
caused the members of the East Mo-
line CITY commission at their meet
ing last night to direct City Attor-
ney George B. Long to take the
matter up with the Illinois state
board of health.
Residents Of East Moline, who
live near the place where the re-
fuse is said to make its course into
East Moline, are the ones who have
lodged the complaints. The city
commission discussed the sewage
matter at a previous meeting but
no action was taken
complaints made to the municipal
body by the commissioner of
streets resulted in the commission
issuing orders to plumbers of East
Moline to repair about twenty
places in the East Moline streets
that are in poor condition as the re-
suit of the installation Of plumbing
work. The plumbers of East Moline
dug up the streets, but in replacing
the paving, failed to do so properly
and as a result the paving sank for
several inches at most of the
places. causing bad holes.
Bonds of Frank A. Maberry and
Horace Cartwright were rendered
at the meeting last night Maberry
was appointed as police officer on
the East Moline force at the last
while Cartwright, who
formerly was on the force, was re-
last night.
Applications for soft drink
licenses were placed by owners Of
establishments at 1902 Sixteenth
avenue and at S26 Sixteenth ave-
nue.. Licenses will probably be
granted at the next melting.
Miss Jennie Carpenter was for
mally appointed assistant to City
Clerk Dale Chambers, succeeding
the former assistant city clerk
whose resignation became effective
two weeks ago.
