East End Improvement Association

Members of the East End I'm

cided to make a demand on the city
that sidewalks be laid along varl-
Gus stretches and that others be
repaired so that children can keep
out of the mud on their way to east
end schools.
The association asked some time
ago that walks be laid on Eight
zenith avenue from Thirty-eighth
street as an improvement much
needed for children attending the
new Washington school. The city
has been unable to attend to this
work as the avenue has not been
paved between the streets named
and the width of the paving has not
been decided ON, a decision that
must be made before sidewalks are
put down.
In view of this the east end citi-
zens ask that cinder walks be laid
on Eighteenth avenue and that GEM
emit walks be laid on Sixteenth ave
nue. from Thirty-fourth to Thirty
eighth street and on Fifteenth ave
nue. from Thirty-seventh to Thirty

already down.

SEEK LOCATION
OF BUREAU FOR
VETS WELFARE
sub.Statien of Eighth District Nav
Be Transferred to Rcck
Island.

Congressman W. J. Graham is
cooperating in an effort now being
made by the Rock Island Chamber
If Commerce to persuade the gov
eminent authorities to locate a
sub-station of the veterans bureau.
which directs welfare work among
disabled ex-service men in Rock
Island.
In a letter received by the Cham
her of Commerce today, Mr.. Ora
ham states that he called at the
General offices of the bureau at
Washington and was informed that
locations of sub-stations in the
Eighth district, comprising Illinois,
wisconsin and Michigan were made
nv Charles w. Spofford of Chicago,
regional director, who thus far has
located sub-stations in Rockford
East st. Louis, Peoria, Centralia,
Champaign and Danville.
Congressman Graham says that
he understands a movement is on
foot to abolish the sub-station at
Cedar Rapids. Iowa, which is in
the st. Louis district, and relocate
il in Davenport, but this. he de-
clares, would be of no effect SO
far as veterans in Illinois are con-
cerned.
Transfer Rockford Work.
He therefore recommends that
an effort be made by the Chamber
Of Commerce to persuade Mr.. Spot
ford TO abolish the Rockford sub
station. which Graham believes to
be unnecessary. and relocate it in
Rock Island. He points out in his
letter that Rock Island is really
entitled to the station for the rea-
son that the arsenal and other gov
eminent property is located here
He says also, that owing to the
close proximity of Champaign and
Danville to Springfield there is a
prospect that the Champaign sta
ton may be. relocated in Spring
field.
Under the Sweet bill 143 sub
stations are to be established, and
Illinois has been assigned six.
Mr. Graham believes that if the
proper representation is made to
Director Spoffor1 a suh-station may
be secured for Rock Island.
