TO PAVE FROM
MILAN BRIDGE
TO The DEPOT
No Objections Filed Against $34,4S1
improvement Despite Hot
Discussion.
Especial Correspondence

Milan, Ill, Aug. 20.-Despite sew
eral hours of hot discussion where
objections were verbally presented
to the Milan board OF local i'm
provements at the town hall last
evening, the five block stretch of
road from the Milan bridge to Main
street, and through on Main street
to the Rock Island depot will be
paved.
NO formal objections were filed
by any of the property owners last
evening. The village board will
draw up an ordinance at its next
meeting, Sept. 6, providing for the
paving. If the ordinance passes
the board, and there is no doubt
pat that II Will, paving will be laid
on this stretch.
The work will cost approximate
ly 4,4S1.60 and will be started
as soon as bids can be let. 1t is
hoped to have the work done this
fall.
William Schroeder of Rock Island,
attorney for the village of Milan,
represented the board and present
ed the proposition at last evenings
meeting. Jesse Spencer represent
ed the interests of S. S. and T. B.
Davis, who own property in Milan.
The main objections to the i'm
provement appeared to be the need
of a sewerage system in these
streets before the pavement is laid
and the fact that the stretch was
too short and should be paved at a
time when the highway to the East
and West road, about a mile south
of Milan, can be improved.

TO suffer terribly with indigestion
and bloating.
However, 1 knew I had the right
medicine as soon as 1 began taking
Tanlac, for / started improving
from the very first, and four bottles
of the medicine have put me in
splendid health. The nervousness,

eight pounds in weight. / never felt
better in my Life. and don't believe
there is a happier person in Chi
