RENEWED DISCUSSION.
Continued from Page II

bridge across West river have already
been discussed briefly in The Reformer.
They involve not only the questions of To-
cation and type of construction but
whether state and federal aid can be Sc
cured, and if 50 in what amounts. One
of the most battling problems arises on
account of the low clearance below the
West river railroad bridge,
There are also many things to be con
sidered in connection with the suspen-
sion bridge. one of which is the ques-
ton whether the New Hampshire state
highway department could be depended
upOn for aid because of the bridge being
the terminus of one of the So-called cross
state boulevardS on which many thous-
ands of dollars already have been spent
and many more are to be spent within
the next few years. The town of Ches-
terrified also has Il vital interest in the
suspension bridge and its wishes will
have to be given due consideration.
Despite the fact that the contract for
the bridge opposite this village has been
let there are many persons who still
doubt whether the present location is
the most desirable one. They point tC
the probability that the road across the
island always will be source of trouble
and expense in the spring and call atten
ton also to the grade crossing near tho
local passenger station as something
which Orght to be eliminated.
Now that the condition of the suspen
sion bridge has come to public attention
there is renewed agitation in favor OF 1

street on the ground that such a Struc
tire might be made 70 take the place o

TRIPS To FARM
FOR CHILDREN

Illinois Agricultural Association to
Provide More Outings
s.-+ Than Eyer.

3 Farmers Of Rock Island county
Interested In providing a vacation
Y Cor children of the tenement dis
stricts of Chicago can do SO by COM
municating with the farm bureau.
The Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton is planning to give these I'M
fortunate children a pIay-period in
the country on a larger scale than
ever before. The United Charities
Of Chicago, a non-sectarian organ
ization, is cooperating with the ag-
ricultural association by selecting
the children and attending to the
details in connection with their
trips.
The United Charities goes into IA
therless and destitute homes in the
slum districts of Chicago and picks
the children. The ages range from
Z to IA years. The vacation is for
two weeks and the only expense
the farmer is put to is in the keep
of the yOungster for that time.
Transportation Free.
The railroads have announced
the children will be transported
without charge.
1t was formerly the plan to ac-
rept contributions of money to de-
fray expenses of vacations for the
children but last year proved that
greater benefits are derived by hav-
= ing farmers welcome them into
their homes for the short period.
ANY money received at this time is
devoted to preparing the vacation
dres of the children and to defray-
ing of other incidental expenses.
F The farm bureaus of 20 counties
within radius of 100 miles are &C
lively cooperating with the Illinois
Agricultural association in provid-
ing more outings this year than
ever before.
