NEW CITY HALL IN
EAST MOLINE is
NOW BEING URGED
Especial Moline Service.I

Indications are that the East Mo-
line city hall will not be ready for
occupancy until possibly next sum
mer.
At a meeting of the city council
last evening the proposition of
financing the remodeling of the old
John Deere school house so that it
might be utilized as a municipal
building, was referred to the build
ing and grounds committee and
Mayor Johnson.
H. W. Whitsitt of the firm of
Whitsitt & Schulzke, architects,
presented plans of the building as
it would appear after being remod-
eled. He informed the council that
the cost of remodeling would be
approximately $4,000, whereupon
there arose the question as to
whether it would be more econom-
ical to abandon the plan of making
over the old building and erecting
a new one, which the architect said
would cost about 100000
The plan of financing the work is
to issue bonds. This will necessi-
tate a special election, and express
sions heard this morning would in
dictate that the plan will meet with
opposition should the council at
tempt to raise the money for remod-
cling the school building. The SEN
timent seems to favor the plan of
adding $1,000 to the amount and
putting up a new building

Senate BRINGS
Low TAXES NEAR
Passage of Tax Revision Bill Last
Night is Big Step-Measure
Goes to House Conference.

Washington, Nov. S.-United
Press. )-Lower federal taxes were
a step nearer realty today as the
result of the senate's passage OF
the tax revision bill.
While most of the country slept,
the senate plodded away on the
measure and passed it at 1:45 this
morning. The vote was 3S to "a,
with three Republicans, Moses of
New Hampshire, LaFollette of Wis
consin, and Norris of Nebraska vot-
ing against it.
The measure now goes to a con-
ference with the house.
The final fight over the $780,
10000 tax revision bill was due to
begin Thursday when the house
sends the much revised measure to
conference. The fight in confer
ence will center upon the SO per
cent surtax rates fixed by the SEN
ate. Administration leaders are
determined to reduce this rate if
possible and insurgent Republicans
in the house are equally determined
that the rates shall stand.
The first round of the battle will
come when the insurgents, led by
Representative Frear of Wisconsin,
moves to instruct the conferees TO
accept the senate surtax rates. This
will be resisted by Republican
Leader Mondell. The insurgents
claim solid Democratic support.
