Politicians Capitalize To-
Ied0'S Troubles

TOLEDO. Ohio. Sept s.-The vct-
ers Of Toledo have for years had the
impression the Toledo Street Rail-
way company was simply the foot.

So last fall there was general sat.
isfaction when two commissions Of
business men were named. One
commission Of seven business men

land plan. The other. headed by two
big business men, was to draw up
the municipal ownership proposition.
They were To report in January.
The municipal ownership commits
sion wac ready. but the coss-plus
body reported II had reached no
agreement with Doherty.
The city council ordered the mu.
nicipai ownership plan voted upon
August 10. despite efforts by Doh
erty to prevent this action.
In the meantime Federal Judge
Killits had amended and completed
the cost.plus ordinance-,o which
Doherty had not agreed. The bust.
ness men had left the valuation of
the company untitled In their par.
tally complete ordinance. Experts
said the valuation was s7,ioo, 900,
Doherty. 100000. The Judge com.
pleted the ordinance by making (,
$4,000. 900. He also amended a clause
~ the city's demand the company
cell bonds. even at 10 per cent dis.
count. to finance extensions which
the city should ask. He made I,
Doad the bond sale should be agreed
- ~ both the city and the com
pany.
After Doherty finally agreed "a
the cost-plus franchise. KIllits issued
his Injunction preventing the special
August election. Appeal was made
and the injunction was thrown out
by u. s. circuit court Of appeals.
With but 40 per cent OF the vote
cast, the municipal ownership pro
posai was defeated by 1000 votes. II

OFFICER OF STATE
HEALTH SERVICE
ARRIVES MOLINE

DR.. G. H. Gerard of the state de-
partment of health. arrived in Mo-
line yesterday. He will take
charge of the control of epidemic
and prosecution of quarantine vio-
lators, for several weeks. DR.. Ger
ard visited Washington school yes
terday and found four cases of
smallpox. one of measles and two
cases of ringworm. All the afflict-
ed pupils were ordered to their
homes.
DR.. Gerard will discuss general
health conditions in the county be-
fore the Rock Island county board
of supervisors at its next session
and it is understood he will recon-
mend a general survey Of the coun-
ty, similar to the one now in pro-
gress in Moline.
One of the first things to be
brought to the attention of the city
authorities by the state officers
will be the absolute abolition of
every outdoor toilet where there
are sewer facilities. Officials state
Moline is one of the worst violat-
ors Of this section of the law in
the state and unless the local Off
GERS take immediate steps to abate
the nuisance. state agents will
begin prosecutions.

GAS SERVICE
DISTRICT TO
Be LIMITED
New Ordinance May Prohibit Build.
ing OF Gasoline Stations in
Residence Parts.

An ordinance to be passed by the
city council soon may bar gasoline
filling stations and perhaps ga
RACES from Moline residence dis
tricts. Alderman Fred Holt of the
Third ward last evening introduced
resolution calling for a special
committee of the whole meeting to
consider a business zone ordinance.
The resolution was adopted.
Although Alderman Holt criti-
cized especially the construction
of filling stations in residence
neighborhoods it is probable that
garages and other businesses may
be limited to commercial and in
dustrial districts. The problem of
adopting an ordinance of this kind
will require several weeks study
as it involves thorough survey OF
the future development of Moline.

MONEY FOR ROADS
GOES TO GENERAL
FUND FOR COUNTY

In an article in yesterdays
Argus it was stated that checks for

mailed to D. E. Farr. chairman Of
the local finance committee. Mr..
Farr corrected the statement today
by saying that as chairman of the
finance committee he was not au-
thorized to receive the money. but
that F. A. Gibson, treasurer Of the
general fund should receive the
checks. According to Mr.. Farr he
and his committeeman of Aledo are
simply subscribing the money in
