when the heroine resolves to avenge
her brothers death. The scenes in
which Parks appeared were COM

citizens opposing the plan to ex-
fond Rock Island township boun-
daries to be co-ex6ensiYe with the
city boundary lines in South Rock
island will hold another meeting
WeonssCAy night TO determine
whether there is sufficient senu-
nnent to launch court proceedings
10 prevent such action.
There were approximately 100 or
the property holders at the meet
ing which was called TO hear the
mayor and commissioners explain
action of the city in attempting to
create one city township out of the
township OF Rock Island and that
nart Of South Rock Island town
shin that lies within the city limits.
The Joining proposition was within
the powers OF the board of super
ytsors and The board approved the
pet!tIon OF the city. This means
that there will be only one town
ship assessor placing valuations on
uroperty within the city limits.
Heretofore the South Rock Is
land township assessor fixed valu-
atoms on city property south of
Eighteenth avenue. AS most Of
South Rock Island township is a
rural community there was less
need for tax money and the result
was that valuations were placed on
CITY property which meant pay
ment Of q tax not much greater
than in the rural part of the town
ship.
The city folks south of the town
ship dividing line we're receiving
city benefits for little more than
the taxes would cost them.
Mayor Schriver claimed that for
every dollar paid in tax the South
Rock Island people had been get
ting So in improvements
Threats had been made that an
injunction was to be sought to
halt the action of the board Of su-
peryisors, but this sentiment is not
strong in the district. as out of ap-
moximately $500 population only
100 persons attended the protest
meeting.

The citizens OF South Rock Is
