Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver received
a letter today from Robert L. Wat
SON. chairman Of the Illinois home
rule league. In which he asks that
this city send a. many delegates as
possible to the Joint convention Of
the home rule league and the 1lli-
nois municipal league to be held in
the senate chamber OF the capitol
building at Springfield. Jan. 20
and 80.
He requested that City ATTORNEY
J. X. Scott prepare 10-minute talk
or the Illinois public utilities conf
mission.
The home rule league was form
ed q year ago in Peoria and its sole
purpose is to obtain an act of leg
islature that will do away with the
state public utilities commission
and give cities home rule in deal
ing with public utilities companies.
Rock Island is member Of the
league and City Attorney Scott has
been one of the most prominent
men in the state in the fight against
the utilities commission.
Several to Attend.
Mayor Schriver said that he and
City Attorney Scott and possibly
one or two of the city commission
ers will attend the state conven-
ton.
The municipal league is an Or
ganization of several years stand
ing and takes up all matters rela-
tive to city governments. This
league is also against the utilities
commission, it is said. and its men,
bers will also bring up many other
important matters that deal with
the state constitutional convention
Mayor Schriver and City Attorney
Scott said oday that the joint coh-
vention of these two leagues prom
ises to be of big importance and all
delegates should be given the sup
port of citizens in general.

mean that the project of paving the

that the new ordinance will pro-
vide for asphaltic concrete paving,
which is cheaper than brick. but
which is termed by many as the
best material to pave streets in the

several weeks ago and the work
was estimated to cost S20.597 so,
according to the figures CT City En-
gineer Wallace Treichler.
However. bids for the work re-

companies are greatly above this
amount and the city officials have,
