COMPLAINTS BY
THOSE WHO RIDE
SLEEPERS HEARD

General cause for complaint has
been found by those patrons Of the
Rock Island lines who ride the
sleepers east on the train which
leaves at midnight because of i'm
proper heating. This has been
charged to neglect on the part OF
the company. Passengers claim
that, despite the fact the cars are
switched onto the tracks about 10
o'clock, two hours before depart

second street between Fourteenth
and Eighteenth avenues and Six
teenth and Seventeenth avenues b.
tween sThirty-second and Thirty
third streets were overruled in pub
lie hearing before the Rock Island
board Of local Improvements at the
city hall 1t 10 o'clock this morning.
The majority Of the property
holders favored paving the street
and the two avenues with asphaltic
concrete. The board adhered to the
proposition and recommended that
an ordinance be drafted providing
for the work.
However. the proposition Of paw
ing Eighteenth avenue between
Thirty-second and Thirty third
streets, which project was consid-
cred as part Of the other contem-
plated paving improvements, was
dropped on account OF strenuous
objections.
Estimated Cost $3S 200.
The estimated cost OF the original
improvements planned was placed
1t 3S,2OO, but with the one block
on Eighteenth avenue dropped from
the list this amount will be lowered
considerably. The work Is to be
completed under the special assess
ment plan.
