HALL QUESTION
Been DROPPED
East Moline Municipal Building
Problem Appears tO Have Been
Suspended Until Next Year.

Whether or not East Moline will
have new city hall is not known.
Some say the proposition has fall
len through and will not be put up
to the voters this spring. Still 9TH
ers hold out little hope that the
much needed municipal building
will be erected
At the meeting Of the East Moline
city council last evening. it appear
ed that a new city hall would not
lie advisable now, not until next
year. The committee named TO in
vestigate reported that a Moline
architect has estimated that Z
building to meet the needs of Eas -
Moline will cost approximately
$4,000.
Nearly ten years ago when the
city's taxes were levied, East Mo
line was allowed SG6. 600. They now
have an Indebtedness for $23 600 on
the water works The bond orig
inally called for $4,000, but 81
900 has been paid Now the gov
eminent advises that the city in
stall a new sewer system. This
means an expenditure OF nearly
$50, 900. The city is in need OF a
new sewer system and a way out
of it cannot be found.
With an Indebtedness bond Of
s23 900 and only $66 600 in taxes.
the city has clear. about $4,000.
And again the city must eXpen1
close to $4,000 for its sewer pro-
gram. leaving but some $4,000 10
look forward TO in view OF building
a municipal hall.
The revision OF taxes on prop
erty in East Moline takes place in
1920, and at that time, il is esti-
mated, that the city's property can
be taxed TO at least $l500O0 TheS
is the time to discuss a new city
hall, is the belief OF city officials.
Officials are in sympathy with
the city hall movement, but clear
road to its accomplishment can not
be traced. 1t is probable, however,
that the question will be put 10
vote this spring and some means
resorted to to raise the needed
money.

ENTERED TWICE
IN FEW MONTHS

For the second time this winter
the c. Harold White home, 2106
Sixteenth avenue. Moline, has been
burglarized, but both attempts
proved practically fruitless for the
intruders.
Last evening burglars pried open
window with a jimmy, entered
the home, ransacked il from top 10

had completed the job.
Early last winter when the home
was burglarized, the robbers OBJ
tanned even less than they did last
night.

GERMANS SIZE UP IN I RIGUE
 ] ? [ N l N !

BERLuN-Germany sizes up the troubles of the allies through the eyes of Preussische Zeitung thusly:
 "Italy is vexed because the Plume question is not solved, and she is an moved because she has not been invit- ed to join with England, France and the United States in the new alliance Herdifferences with Serbiaare making her turn to Bulgaria, a power not yet disarmed And Bulgaria is a friend of Hungary, that good old friend ot Germany. Enver Pasha is reported to be engoged in fighting the Armen- ians at the head of Tartar troops. England has her hands full of Maho' modan trouble in Egypt and India. For us the the main point in all these troublesis that our road to the Bal kans is still open.
 France and England are striving vigorously to prevent the union of German Austria with Germany. They may forbid it but they cannot prevent this natural consequence of the dis ruption' of Austria-Hungary. There is a great struggle between Italy and the Jugo-Slavs for the uossession oi South Tyrol; should it fall to Italy

"When I began taking Tanlac l had been down in bed for three months and just think of it, I'm feeling as strong and healthy as I ever felt inl my Iife," said Mrs. Mollie J.
