TO II IER NAME
OF one AVENUE


Rock Island ID to have . new
street without the immediate lay
ing Of an finch Of paving or even
the cutting Of . new route to make
it so.
That there are at present two
thoroughfares known as Twentieth
avenue, extending parallel and ap-
proximately q block apart, between
Sixteenth and Twenty fourth
streets, was pointed out by Com
missioner Frank WITCH, depart
ment Of streets and public inn
provements. in submitting an ordi-
nance to the council for consider
alton yesterday.
He proposed in the ordinance
that the southernmost Twentieth
avenue" continuation of the ave
nue. line which ceases at Twelfth
street, be renamed Twentieth-and-
a-half avenue.
Though the northern Twentieth
avenue is away from the original
Twentieth avenue line as it begins
in the west end Of the city, the
change proposed for the councils
consideration will bring Twentieth
and-a-half avenue between Twen-
tieth and Twenty-first avenues.
Confusion has frequently arisen
in the making Of deliveries and in
other instances, due to the two
parallel Twentieth avenues. One of
the commissioners voiced the opin-
ion that the property owners on
the avenue which is to undergo the
change may object, but Mr.. WITCH
believes that the need to change
the name is serious.
Nine blocks of paving we're ap-
proved in two ordinances adopted
at the meeting. Fourth avenue, be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, is to be resurfaced with
asphaltic concrete at a cost of
1856.
Eighteenth avenue, from Thir-
tieth to Thirty-eighth street, is to
be paved with asphaltic concrete,
with a boulevard extending down
the center Of the street. The esti-
mated cost of the work Is $47,3S1.

.QI| LONG
FOR | Ju1eEsHlp'
l. - 1888


: George D. Long, East Moline,
will NIL the vacancy on the Repub-
lican ticket for county Judge,
caused by the death Of Judge Frank
J. Lanaee. He received the nomi-
nation by majority vote Of the
county central committee in meet
ing yesterday afternoon in the cir-
cult courtroom, defeating George
C. Wenger, Rock Island, and Ed
ward L. Eagle, Moline. No other
candidates were presented.
Four ballots were necessary to
determine the winner. There were
70 delegates present and the total
vote of the convention was 429 on
the first ballot. A majority OF all
votes cast was necessary to de-
eide the winner.
On the first ballot Wenger re-
ceived 205 against 1881 for Long.
Eagle was low with 451s. Much Of
Eagles support shifted to Long on
the second ballot, the result show
ing 2O4 for Wenger, 201 for Long
and q for Eagle, for a total OF 426.
Longs victory was forecast on the
third ballot when he received 213
against 1879 for Wenger and IA for
Eagle. This was one less than 4
majority, and on the fourth ballot
Long received AIS against 203 for
Wenger and seven for Eagle.
The entire upper end Of the
county and much of Moline was
solid for Long rat the start, while
Wenger's support in Rock Island
and southern part Of the county
did not waver at any time.
MIR. Long was a candidate for
the nomination of probate judge in
the spring primary. He was de-
feated by Ben d. Farrar, Rock Is
land, now acting probate Judge,
after sensational contest.
The committee adopted resolu-
tons of sympathy in the death Of
Judge Landee, who was drowned
in Rock river while bathing. The
resolutions were previously pre-
pared by the executive committee
of the county organization.

Cleaning Up Rock Island.

Rock Island, Aug. 14.-Editor
Argus: l was pleased to read the
announcement of our county and
city officials promising. that Rock
Island was to be cleaned up, but
thus far l must confess that / have
seen little evidence of any such
transformation. l am not one of
those extremists who imagine that
city the size of Rock Island can
be entirely freed of vice conditions,
but l have always believed that
every city should be ,Gecently con-
Quoted. The Argus has plainly
shown our officials the situation in
Rock Island but your paper has
not gone far enough.
My suggestion to our city officials
is that they can make very good
beginning by applying the vacuum
cleaner on Third avenue between
Twentieth and Twenty-third streets,
where there is succession of
white and negro dives, every one
, of which should be closed. Third
avenue is the gateway from Iowa
into Rock Island, and assuredly
no good citizen can feel proud OF
! the impression that the stranger re-
| ceives as he passes through Third
avenue towards the business center
Of the city.
1t may be true that there is no
demand for legitimate business To-
cations on Third avenue in the dis
i trlct mentioned, but l am here to
predict that there never will be any
so long as the present conditions
are permitted to exist there.
We should profit by the expert
ence Of Davenport. Second street
just west OF the government bridge
was known as Bucktown.. 1t was
an eyesore to the city OF Davenport.
One day 1t was closed, and for a
time it looked as if that portion OF
Second street, with its empty build
ings and general neglect, would
create a worse impression than
when the dives thrived there. But
1t was not long until new buildings
began to rise there, and now you
would never know that Davenport
had ever had a Bucktown.
Third avenue between Twentieth
and Twenty-fourth streets is a log
1cal wholesale district, with close
proximity to railroad tracks: With
wholesale houses would come other
enterprises that could not live in
the atmosphere that pervades the
