East Moline aldermen have no
reason to ask what is being done
with the S1.40 arrest fee as did the
Moline city council at the last meet
ing. According to Chief Tom Schaf-
er of the East Moline police, part of

the chief, the magistrate is entitled
to So of the costs. In all state cases
this much of the costs is given to
the Judge.
THE rest of the costs, $1.40 to be
exact, is handed over to the city
with the fine of SIS. East Moline
thus gets s6.4O from each speeder
instead of the usual SIS fine.
The chief also stated that several
years ago this amount of $1.40 went
to the officer who made the arrest.
AS in Moline, however, it was found
that the policemen were entitled
only to their salary.
all of the costs collected in the
Moline city court are now being
held by Chief DeJaeger until it is
determined how to expend the sum.
There is an attempt to turn the
money over to the police aid fund.

is not up to specifications.

already received enough applica-

i Il is a we'll known fact that trav-

ball players are never pleased with
the prospec: of staying overnight
in Moline. In many cases they
are willing to go to Rock Island or
even Davenport to escape the Mo-

The new hotel, il is believed, will
keep these transients in Moline and
will in turn draw patronage from
the other cities. One of the biggest
drawing cards of the new build
ing will be the roof garden and II
is expected that many will come to
Moline for their amusement when
it is finished.
According to the present plans
the main entrance will be on Nine

sideration low has a frontage OF
$50 feet on the street and an en-
trance on that side would be more
imposing and spacious.
