SCHOOL MAY BE
USED FOR HALL
IN {. MOLINE
Council Is In Favor of Buying Old
Building and Turning 1t Into
City Hall.

The old John Deere school build
ing will probably be bought by the
city of East Moline and turned into
a city hall and jail. The plan was
turned over to the buildings and
grounds committee at the council
meeting last night and a report is
expected in a few days.
With the new Deere school build
ing near completion the school
board finds large modern struc-
ture on its hands and nothing to
use it for At the same time the
city finds itself with a need for a
city hall but no funds to build a
new one.
Aldermen with thrifty minds
have advocated the purchase of
this building by the city for some
time The city owns five lots on
the corner of Sixteenth avenue and
Ninth street, and it is to here that
the building will be moved if it is
purchased.
The city attorney was instructed
to draw up two new ordinances,
one relating to the paying of the
school nurse. Under the plan adop-
ted by the board of health and the
school board. the cost of the nurse
will be shared between the city and
the district
The council also asked for an
ordinance that would fix a tax on
heavy trucks. The amount of the
tax would be regulated by the
weight of the vehicle.
A committee from the council in
vestigated the Thirteenth street
bridges, and all the aldermen were
in favor OF widening it from u to
80 feet-the width of the street.
A petition to allow a dance plat
form to be erected on Eighteenth
avenue and First street was laid on
the table until the next meeting for
investigation.
The residents of East Moline will
be warned to cut their weeds.

WEAK START BY
WHEAT ENDS IN
STRONG FINISH

Chicago, July 19.-Wheat prices
developed strength today after q
weak start. Houses with eastern
connections were active on the buy
ing side and country offerings were
reported light. 1t was said rains
in Kansas and Nebraska had inter-
fered with threshing. Initial quo
tations, which varied from un-
changed figures to "a C lower, with
September at 1861 to LIT and De-
cember at 100 to 1904, were fol-
lowed by upturns all around to
well above yesterdays finish.
Subsequently, weakness of sterl-
ing exchange counted as a bearish
factor, but not of a lasting sort
The close was unsettled, half cent
to 11sc net higher, with September
1.2SA to 1-283a and December 1.32
to 1924.
Corn rallied with wheat. After
opening 1c to &c to &c lower. in
Guiding September at 611ac to 613s C,
the market scored slight general
gains.
Indication that renewed loading
of corn here this week would be
liberal tended to uphold the market
later. The close was firm, sc to
1 Sc net higher with September
62s to 62Ac
Oats took the same course as
other grains, starting &c to 12c
lower, with September at Ale to
41Ac, and then ecame firmer.
Lower quotations on hogs had a
effect on provisions.
Besides there were heavy deliver
les of lard.
