NAMES BODY To
CONSIDER SITE
Three Supervisors Are Selected To
Investigate Possibilities of New
Jail Location.

Members OF the committee which
is to investigate and select a site
for the new county Jail were
named yesterday by John Upton,
chairman OF the board of supervis-
ors. There are three, H. F. Schroe-
der of Hampton, c. s. kerns of
Moline. and H II Unverforth of
Rock Island.
Appointment of the committee
was left to Chairman Lipton during
the last day of the March session
of the county board. Action to such
effect was taken following the as
surance that unless steps were
taken at that meeting towards OBJ
tanning a location for the Jail, the
county treasurer would be enjoined
from payment of claims incurred
in the work already done on the
partially completed Jail structure
to the west of the court house.
Had not these threats been made
it is extremely doubtful whether
any action would have been taken
to investigate the possibilities of
obtaining a new site. The session
had practically come to a close

- Joseph r. Prendergast, travelling
examiner, detailed to Rock Island
arsenal as d representative of the
United States employment service,
IS affected by the closing order, but
the Illinois free employment bu-
reau, which is operated by the state
and not by the government, remains
unaffected.
Probably the greatest part of the
work now being done by Mr.. Prem
dergast will be thrown to the Hi
nois employment office here of
which Fred w. Rinck is superin-
tcndent. unless funds are appropri-
ated by local organizations for the
maintenance of the island Office.
Duties of Mr. Pren6&rgast have
been centered on placing workers
relieved OF their duties in the gov
eminent shops as the readjusting
work proceeds and as the island
goes back on a peace basis.
Cities where. only federal Offices
are maintained will feel the loss of
the service to q greater extent than
the tri-cities when the closing or
der becomes effective. Many cities
have not the advantages of the
state bureaus.
