Interest of Members as Well

business agent Of the community.
All business and professional
men, organizations, business houses
and manufacturing institutions are
going to be asked to invest at least
SIS In this community building
business. Many men will be asked
to invest several times $25 for the
modern method of development Of
an organization is to ask men to
invest in proportion to their means.
To Be Perpetuated.
The membership is going to be
taken only on three year basis.
This will give permanency to the
new organization. No business
man would think of starting a bust
ness without a sufficient amount of
capital to guarantee its expenses
for more than one year. It is nee
essary for the Rock Island Cham
Der of Commerce to know what
funds it will have with which to
carry out the program which has
been adopted.
This is a serious matter and one
of great import to the city Of Rock
Island.
Every man in Rock Island owes
1t to himself and city to ally with
this strong, sane movement perma-
nently to insure the future Of Rock
Island.

CITY WILL ASK
$4,000 LOAN
Commissioners Provide for Borrow.
ing Large Sum on Tax Antici.
patton Warrants.

The city commissioners adopted
a resolution Monday afternoon pro-
viding for the borrowing of $4,000
from the six Rock Island banks on
city tax anticipation warrants. The
resolution provides that an inter-
est rate Of per cent shall be paid.
The money is needed to tide the
city over until tax accounts come
due. The city could handily use
more money than is to be borrow
ed, but the law provides that not
over rs per cent of the amount Of
tax anticipation warrants can be
realized through loans.
Last year the city borrowed
100000. which sum has been paid
off. With the loss Of approximate
ly 100000 year in saloon reye-
nue., the city finds itself in a posi-
ton where money must be borrow
ed each year to pay expenses OF
departments until tax money is
paid over by the county treasurer,
the first installments of which are
due on April / Of each year, and
the receipts Of which are to a large
extent necessary to pay of loans.
such as the one now about to be
negotiated. This cycle leaves the
city in a position. at about this
time each year where new loans
must be negotiated with the banks
close upon the heels OF the final
payments Of the money borrowed
for the previous years needs.
Need More Revenue.
City officials have repeatedly an
nounced that the city should have
some added source of revenue in
case the business of running the
city is to be carried out on the
proper scale. Some talk has been
made of forming a license system.
which would bring in a tidy sum
each year. Several cities through
out the country have adopted this
plan and are raising funds that
closely approximate the amount
lost in saloon license money.

WHERE THEY MAKE
OLD TIRES GOOD

One of the interesting places
to visit in South Pittsburg is the
Usher Vulcanizing Works, the
advertisement of which appears
in this issue.
There they take tire that ap-
parently has seen its last days
with a fierce-looking blowout,
skilfully insert new material. and
yulcanize it that is apply steam
heat to it-and, behold! a tire fit
for a lot Of service is produced.
Vicious rim cuts are also cured
bp the same process.
And the expense is a mini
mum, aEd often three or four
dollars saves a $25 tire The
News has tried the process and
knows whereof it speaks.
Last week the Messrs. Usher
added a re treading machine to
the plant and now can put a band
of new rubber on a tire all the
way around in q beautiful ribbed
tread. The price for such work
is generally estimated at half the
price of a standard new tire.
Save on your tire expense by
repair work. To help you do SO
Mr.. Usher has made the News
Office a depot in Central Marion
for work of the kind. and advice
will be cheerfully as to what to
do with a dsmaged tire that is
submitted for repair.
