Moline FIGHTS
RIVER BATHING
Health Authorities Say Sewage
Makes the Mississippi In
Front Of City Unfit

Molfne's last hope of a munich
pally endorsed bathing beach was
lost this morning by the announce
ment Of Mayor C. P. Skinner that
city health authorities had con-
demned all river bathing beaches
for the summer. Mississippi bath
ing may be revived here and en-
dorsed and sponsored by city au-
thorities at some future time, the
mayor stated, but before that hap
pens sewage from East Moline and
Watertown must be chlorinated
prior to being admitted to the riv-
er. A movement to accomplish this
Is under way at present and state
health authorities may soon issue
an order providing for this innova-
ton. The state is at present en-
gagged in a survey Of water condi-
tons in Moline and vicinity.
Condemnation Of all other beaches

night on complaint Of his first wife

HOLD MEETING
TO PLAN FIGHT


A meeting Of the city council and
the consumers Of heat from the
Illinois Northern Utilities company
was held In the council chambers
Of the city hall last night Plans
for . fight against the proposed In
crease Of 76 per cent in heating
rates were made. Word was re-
ceived here this morning that the
hearing which had been set for
Thursday, June II. In Chicago has
been postponed. No definite date
has been arranged.
Mayor c. A. Beers opened the
meeting by telling Of the rs per
cent increase which was granted
last year and the way in which the
Utilities company had more than
doubled the 191S-1919 income by
simply multiplying the amount Of
heat consumed, according to the
meter, by two. The company noti-
fled the consumers last winter fol-
lowing the increase of Is per cent,
that the meters were not true and
that the amount OF heat actually
consumed was double that indi-
Gated, taking this way to add to
the revenue. Many business men
OF the city report that the amount
paid for heat during last winter
was from 100 to $50 per cent more
than it was in 1918-1919 season.
In order to present to the state
utilities commission a showing on
the increases actually received by
the company it was decided that a
committee should canvass the heat
consumers and secure the figures
showing the amounts paid during
the past two heating seasons. Mr.
Beers stated that in one instance
it was known that the heat was
shut off in one Aledo business
house for three months and the
heating bill remained the same as
when heat was used. The follow
ing were named to secure the de-
sired data to be presented at the
hearing: D. E. Farr, L. C. John
son, Will Hall and Clyde P. Car
roll.
City Attorney Robert L. Watson
was chosen to represent the heat
consumers at the hearing. 1t is
planned to send several witnesses
and show evidence of the unfair
means which are alleged to have
been taken by the company.
