GAS MASKS ARE
PUT IN SERVICE
fire Department Receives PrOtec-
tors to Safeguard Men from
AsphyxiatiOn.

Seven gas masks to be used while
combating smoke were received
from the Mott company of Wiscon-
sin by the Rock Island fire depart
ment this morning.
Five of the masks will be used
by the "laddies" of the Central sta
ton, and the remaining two will
be used at the other houses. Six
masks will be in use at one time, it
being so arranged that forces from
one of the other stations answer
calls with the Central fire depart
ment.
The masks were purchased upon
the recommendation of Chief Au-
gust Schmidt 1t was first thought
that the masks would be good only
when gas dangers were involved,
but tryout has been made and the
protectors have proved successful
in fighting smoke.
These masks have been used by
the government and are known to
be of the best mode. One of the
improved features of the new
masks is the nose and mouth pro-
tector used for the purpose of pre-
venting the inhalation of any but
purified air.

COUNTY TAX is
PAID PROMPT
About 100000 Has Already Been Re-
ported III Rock Island by
Township Collector.
SMALL LKyIES ARE RECEIVED
Consequent Total Not Large
County Treasurer Pleased With
Taxpayers Response.

About 100000 in taxes have been
collected in Rock Island by w. II.
Whiteside as township collector
since the books were opened at the
court house Feb. 10.
Payments are coming in rapidly
and by April 4, the date upon which
the first penalty for nOn-payment
will be imposed, the great part of
the approximate $500, 900 to be col
leCted in this city is expected to
be reported, according to a state
ment Of the county treasurer this
morning.
Mr.. Whiteside, with a corps of
assistants, has been kept busy every
minute during business hours, and
ehe county treasurer's office has
been crowded early and late since
collection was begun. The small
total thus far is attributed to the
fact that very few large levies have
been received to date, the majority
o fthe receipts as issued being for
small amounts.
The Moline office in the city hall,
on the other hand just as busy,
records the receipt of taxes in the
larger amounts. Total collection in
the Pillow city to date aggregates
over $105,0O0, Mr.. Whiteside stated.
The rural districts are also re-
spending with gratifying prompt
ness. the county treasurer said. He
expresses confidence that the bulk
of the grand total of nearly $1,000
900 to be collected throughout the
county will be paid in before April
A.
Books Close in June.
Tax books will close during the
early part of June at which time
property of delinquents will be dis
posed of at the usual tax sale.
