DISCUSS NEED
OF REPAIRING
BRIDGE ROAD
from East End Of CeuR.
ty Asks Supervisors to Act
On the Difiealty.

A lengthy discussion Of what
steps shall be taken to place the
approach to the Colcna bridge in
good shape for traffic was induIg-
ed in by the board of supervisors
at the meeting yesterday after
noon. A. B. johnson headed a del
egation from East Moline and the
upper end OF the county that ap-
peaFed at the meeting and offered
arguments and pleas that some
thing be done. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on roads
and bridges, and an investigation
is to be made and Recommended
tons reported at this meeting Of
the supervisors
Il was estimated that the cost
of repairing the approach would
approximate $1,000. This would
provide a stone foundation with a
gravel surface, which it is claimed
is needed to make the proposed
Improvement permanent. The SUI
pervisors are hindeFed in taking
action due to the fact that the
roadway is in Hampton township.
all roads being in control of town
ships, Hampton not having the
finances needed other than TO pro-
vide the use of graders and drags
Mr. Johnson presented the sub
ject, and made a couple of inQuir-
les by which he sought to ascer-
tain whether the county controlled
the bad piece of road. Not being
advised at that time that the bur-
den of care of the road is upon
Hampton township, he assumed
that the power and authority was
in the board of supervisors to PRO-
coed il 1t could find available mon
ey, and he expressed the opinion
that it could.
Others followed with the same
line, and the answer a. the time
was that IL the board began tax
ing over the bad stretches of road
from the townships there would be
no end to it.
Asks Board to Investigate.
Peter FIOrin, q member of the
delegation, requested that the
board examine the road when it is
at it's worst. He said that some
times 10 or IL cars are lined up,
waiting for three or four to be
John Delaney resides in Henry
county. He said that county had
purchased gravel at ShefHeld to
repair the east approach of the
bridge, and had appropriated ST.
$50 as the estimated cost Of the
entire job. He said the stretch of
bad road in Henry county is not
as long as it is in Rock Island
county.
Supervisor Leslie Hanna OF Yuma
township explained to the delega-
ton that the county has no money
for road building, except in con-
nection with state aid roads,
wherein the state furnishes a part
of the fund.
Supervisor M. L. Thomas of Buff
falo Prairie gave his experience of
being pulled out of four mudholes
in the south part of the county on
one trip.
Commissioner Kelly explained
that the township was doing all
within its power to keep the road
passable, and said that the soil is
not of such a character that a
good road can ever be made of it
except by use Of rock and gravel.

A blue sun has appeared once
only, and will probably never be
seen again even to the end of exist
ence. This occurred in the sum
mer of 1888, in the Sunda states.
The cause was the eruption of a
large volcano. In the terrible
shock that followed, great range
of mountains was blown COM
pletely into the air. The cavity
left after the explosion was 1000
feet deep. Billions of tons Of
rocks, dust and mud were blown
upwards to a height of II miles.
The sun was completely obscured.
In Batavia, 100 miles away, the
street lamps had to be lighted, al
though it was not yet noon. But
towards sunset came the magnifi-
cent phenomenon known to as
tronomers as the blue sun This
