WORK ON LINE
FROM VILLAGE
near FINISH
Transmission Wires From Milan to
Vich Being Set via
Speed.

Work on the $4,000 volt wires
between the Rock river power
house at Milan to Viola IL nearly
completed, according to Carl Nice.
an employe Of the Northern Illinois
Utilities company. The wires are
being placed on 36-foot wooden
poles and the work will probably
be finished in two weeks. This
power will give Aledo the best elec-
trical service in itA history, officials
of the utility company claim.
Some time ago suit was filed in
court by the Edwards River Power
company to. restrain the Illinois
Northern from entering their terri
tory. The Northern Utility COM
pany is disregarding the action. 1t
is expected that the suit will be
dropped, because of the inability Of
the Milan plant to furnish sufficient
power to towns along the Edwards
river line.
Aledo will be benefited material
ly. Is wires will lessen the load of
the local plant and II necessary A.
sist this plant in carrying the load
at times. Thirty thousand volts
from the Rock river plant will
probably make it possible for the
Rock Island Southern to begin cleo
trical operation within short time.

yesterday which turned into an as
sault and battery case in Moline

about her." HE said he did," she
continued, "and asked me what the
hell l was going to do about it.
Then he slapped me and nearly
choked me-
Hughes denied the assault. 1t is
said the quarrel stalted with dis
cussion about Mrs. Brice between
her ex-husband and Hughes. Mag
istrate Gustafson fined Hughes SO

ty schools are doing their share

CITY WILL PAY
PART COST OF
STREET PAVING


Moline council voted to pay $751;
265 Of the cost Of the pavement OF
Fifteenth street out Of the public
benefits fund. This council action
ends m argument OF nearly years
standing and probably prevents
litigation Of equal length. In all
probability the pavement will be
started early this summer and nm
ished this year. The total estimat-
ed cost Of the project is $77,s71.
The new pavement will be Of brick.
It will begin at Eighth avenue, run
on Fifteenth street to Sixteenth
avenue. on Fifteenth street place to
Sixteenth street and on Sixteenth
street to Twenty-fifth avenue. The
total cost OF pavement ordered last
night at the meeting is $161,115
Moline aldermen at last nights
meeting voted in favor Of the city
council becoming group member
of the Moline community council.
This action was taken following an
address to the council by V. P. Ran
dali Of Community Service, Inc,
and acting secretary Of the new Mo-
line organization. Mr.. Randall de-
clared the community council is de-
signed to serve as . clearing house
for all ideas and projects for max
ing Moline . better city in which
to live.
In two communications read to
the council public dancing was
branded as corruptive by two
These communications
were sent in protest against con-
struction Of pavilion in Stephens
park for the holding of dances.
Both communications were referred
to the council park committee.
This committee was given power
to grant, or not to grant, the re-
quest Of Notes band for permission
to erect a stand in the park. 1t is
unlikely that the bands petition
will be granted because of the pro-
test and the added fact that many
councilmen are opposed to charg-
ing admission to any event held in
q public park.
A brief discussion on the extern
sion of the fire line at the council
meeting turned into q demand that
the fire limits run from First to
Fifty-first street. The proposition
was referred to the council COM
mittee of the whole and some &C
ton probably will be taken with
in q few weeks. Alderman Swan
son introduced the subject when he
called attention Of the council to
publication in booklet form of all
city building ordinances.

OF the British native fault he be-
moaned. His correctiveness assert
ed itself against all phases Of na-

TEN, which was niggardly in its
teachers wage and its lack of NOR

executive whose s'office is respected

STOCK PRICES
FAIL TO MAKE
EXPECTED RISE

:
New York. March 3.JTraders
were plainly disappointed today
when the stock market failed to
make further favorable response to
the decision in the United States
steel case. The short interests used
this as q lever with which to re-
new their recent pressure against
high priced speculative shares, es-
pecially feathers, textiles and rs-
lated issues. Rails made moderate
improvement, however, and food
issues also hardened despite an
other cut in refined sugars. For
eign exchange was firm. notably the
London rate and call money opened
at yesterdays ruling quotation Of
10 per cent, Liberty 31ss bonds raj
lied almost per cent, but Victory
notes were at new low records.
Heaviness of oils, motors and in
dependent steels at the opening Of
today's stock market cancelled .
large part of the rally registered by
the general list in yesterdays later
dealings. Rails and equipments
also reacted with high priced spe-
cialties. The selling concentrated
in Royal Dutch, Shell Trading, Mex
lean Petroleum, General Motors,
Crucible Steel, American and Bald
win Locomotives, American. Wooden.
Hide and Leather preferred and
Endicott- johnson. The reaction ex-
tended from to 5 points within
the first half hour.
