INCREASE RATE


City Attorney Robert L. watson
appeared before the city council Of
Aledo session last night and in
formed the councilmen that notice
has been received from the Illinois
state utilities commission to the
effect that the Illinois Northern
Utilities company is petitioning for
. continuance of the increased rate
for heating In Aledo which was al
lowed last year and which increase
expires the first Of June this year.
Mr.. Watson expressed the opin-
ion that in view of the fact that
heat consumers in this city have
received notice from the company
that the heating rates would be in
creased approximately rs per cent
over last year and that an error
has been made and further action
by the utilities commission is
awaited. Mr.. Watson stated that
the advance of rs per cent over
last years rate would mean an in
crease of approximately 120 per
cent over the original contract rate
which the city holds with the COM
pany. He suggested that an at
tempt be made to have the COM
pany turn over the heating plant
to the city and see il the seeming
ly large increase could not be fore
stalled, 49,
The members of the city council
took no action last night on the
subject, but may take it up at a
later date. Routine business was
transacted during the meeting and
q number of bills were allowed.

SECOND ORDER


A second resolution ordering the
Tri-City Railway company to be-
gin immediate construction Of the
extension Of the Twenty-seventh
street car line between Fifteenth
and Twenty-third avenues, Moline,
was adopt4d last night by the Mo-
line city council. The passing Of
the resolution followed Z lengthy
discussion and several heated argu-
ments. Many residents Of the ter
ritory 70 be covered by the pro-
posed extension attended last
nights meeting and called atten-
ton TO the utilities commission de-
cree, ordering the extension built
not later than May l. 1920.
No predictions are being made as
to the result Of the action taken by
the council. The last resolution
was answered by . letter from the
railway company stating that it is
inadvisable and difficult to build an
extension at this time. The COM
pany stated that it was willing to
build the extension, but mentioned
the proposed pavement, the rail
shortage and the money difficulty.
Residents of the district who
would be most affected by the ex-
tension claim that it was q part of
the 7-cent fare agreement that the
extension be built and that now that
the company is permitted to charge
extra fare 1t il going back on the
remainder Of the contract.
Alderman Huey introduced the
motion directing the city attorney
to order the railway company to
build the extension Immediately.
1t was seconded and unanimously
adopted.
All appointive officials In Moline
were renamed last evening by
Mayor C. P. Skinner and the ap-
p0intments were unanimously ap-
proved by the council. Fourteen
officials were named. They will
serve at the same salary as last
year until the end of the present
administration In April, 1921.
