Financing of Campaign Not Yet
Worked Out, But Amount viii
Not be Large.

Moline Woman's club, Moline
chapter Of the Red Cross. the Mo-
line city health authorities and
various other organizations have
pledged their aid in the health and
sanitary survey to be conducted IN
Moline. The arrival in Moline OF
Paul Skoog and E. X. Richardson,
representatives of the state depart
ment of public health. gave the
health and sanitary movement add
ed force.
The matter of financing the sur
vey has not yet been fully worked
out, although it is thought the COM
paratively small amount OF money
necessary for the work will De con-
tributed by the various organiza-
tons which are interested.
Efforts will also be made to Sc
cure Moline's portion of the funds
allotted to this county by the state
board of health through the sale OF
Red Cross seals. This fund is prl-
marily for the purpose of fighting
the spread of tuberculosis, but the
Moline survey will cover this con-
dition, and it is possible that "a
part of the $3.50 available for Rock
Island county will be apportloned
to Moline.
Headquarters of the state OIL
Gals who will conduct the survey
! have been established at the Camp
bell hotel. 1t is expected that the
work will occupy six weeks or two
months. 1t is planned to extend
the work to every house in Moline
and will include the number OF per-
sons in each house. conditions OF
health. plumbing, sewer facilities,
contagious or infectious or chronic
diseases, and various other details
that will make comprehensive re-
port of health and sanitary condI-
tons. Mayor Skinner has offered
the service Of the city health de-
partment for the work. The man
ner in which the survey is to be
made has not been fully deter
mined.

TAX BOOKS Are
OPENED TODAY
County Treasurer's Office Is New
Ready to Receive Paymen.s-
for Taxpayers.

County Treasurer c. A. Friese
opened the tax collection books
this morning and is now ready to
receive payments from residents OF
Mercer county on the taxes. Mr..
Friese is somewhat handicapped
this year by sickness, which caus-
ed his absence from the oeice for
several days last week. and by the
illness OF Miss Fern Hawks, who
was expected to assist him during
the collection period. '
1t is expected that the next week
or 10 days will not see a very great
rush in the payment of taxes and
it is probable that Miss Hawks will
be able to be in the office and other
help will have been obtained, 50
that the work will run smoothly.
The new system which was in
augurated this year by Mr.. Friese
for the collection of taxes in out
lying townships Of the county is ex-
pected TO greatly facilitate the col
lection work. Memorandum tax
books have been placed IN banks in
each township except Mercer, so
that residents of each township
may ascertain the amount Of taxes
due and deposit their payments
with the banks. A blank statement
will be given the taxpayers at the
banks, which he will i'll out and
mail with a check covering the
amount deposited for his taxes to
the county treasurer's Office In
Aledo. Immediately upon receipt
Of this check and statement. the
treasurer's Office will receipt the
taxpayers and mail that receipt to
him.
Considerable time has been lost
in the collection OF the taxes this
year because Of the slowness Of
the state tax commission in ending
the various assessments and rates.
This time is expected to be made
up by the county treasurer and his
assistants. so that the allotted
amount OF time for the collections
will be sufficient to take in all
the money which Is due the state
