BIG walk WORK
ON ONE STREET
Ordinance for $500 Feet of Cement
Construction Along Seven
teenth Street

An ordinance was introduced in
the city council yesterday afternoon
by Commissioner Frank WITCH for
sidewalk work on Seventeenth
street to cost $16,590. 1t is pro-
posed to fill in all stretches where
there are no walks from First to
Eighteenth avenue, and from First
to Seventh avenue will be widened
to IA feet or new walks laid to this
width. In some places the walks
are now the required width.
From Seventh avenue to Eigh-
teenth avenue the width of the walk
is to be five feet. The improve
ment is for both sides of the street.
1t is estimated that 7S,S00 square
feet of walk will be required. The
proposition was considered and
next Monday will come up for adop-
ton.
The city is also anxious that 9TH
er sidewalks be laid during the
summer. Long stretches of walks
have been laid in the last few years
in the outlying sections and num-
Der of short links have been put
in in the older part of the city.

indicate activity in that line, while
merchants report that retail trade
is much better.
Bloomington advises that indus
trial conditions in that locality are
commencing to look better than at
any time during the past four
months. The contract for the Nc
Barnes Memorial Soldiers and Sail
ors'. building has been let and will
represent an expenditure of $780,
900. More than half the men laid
off at the C. & A. railroad shops
in December have been reinstated.
STEADY improvement is the word
from Peoria in summarizing labor
conditions in that locality. The

o. A BOWSER.
Mr.. Bowser's letter was deferred
TO William E. Whiteside, president
of the Rock Island County Good
Roads association, and Mr.. White
side has submitted the following re-
ply, which answers the questions
set forth above:
Editor The Argus: I am in re-
ceipt of the letter of inquiry from
one OF your readers in the lower
end of the county with reference
to the million dollar bond issue
and particularly with reference to
state aid route No. IL.
The first question is whether
$lS7 900 will be expended on this
route in case the bond issue car
ries. Now, the estimate of this cost
was made by County Engineer Wal
lace Treichler, and he, with his as
sistants, drove over the entire rout-
ing and prepared an actual descrip-
ton OF the highway to be improv-
ed. This route No. II to be improv-
ed will begin 300 feet east of the
northwest corner of section 10.
township 16, north 3 west, or in
other words at the end OF the pres
ent piece OF paving now lying west
Of Taylor Ridge.
It will then go west AZ miles
more or less, to and through the
village of Edgington. thence west
214 miles. thence north Il of a
mile, again west As miles to and
through the village of Illinois City.
and then continuing west toward
the Muscatine bridge to the north
west corner of the northeast quar-
ter OF section in Drury township,
which point is at the top OF the hill
at the end of the Muscatine toll
road.
This roadway will be improved
with such grading and bridges as
required under the state aid road
law, and the roadway will be 30
feet in width between the shout
ders OF the bitches. and will have
a gravel dressing feet wide and
; inches in thickness, which will
feather out to Is feet in width. Mr..
Treichler's estimate is that It will
cost s1S7 900. and positively. un-
Ter the state aid road law. if the |
bond issue carries, this money or
IS much as is thereof necessary
must be expended on that route.
The route is already laid out and /
vas approved by the board OF -su-

LABOR OUTLOOK

State Department Quotes Condi-
tons as Hopeful Phase OF I'LL.
nOis Survey of Activities.

George d. Arnold, state director
of labor, in a report today says the
approach of spring has brought re-
lief to the unemployment situation
and a corresponding Frightening OF
industrial conditions throughout IL
linois and particularly in the Rock
island ONCE where a decided i'm
provement in help inquiries during
the past week was noted.
1t is also affirmed by the director
that building activity in Rock Is
land promises to be extensive. and
that organizations and individuals
are cooperating to create jobs for
the unemployed. 1t is mentioned in
particular that no strikes or shut
downs are reported in this COM
munity.
MANY forces are at work to
bring about a resumption of en-
ployment," Director Arnold declar-
ed. Particularly downstate farm
work and building operations are
getting under way. With the re-
sumption of building in Chicago
there will be a tendency to stimu-
late trade and quiet the unrest that
has prevailed.
THE northern portion of the
state seems to show more renewal
activity than does the southern.
Rockford Condition Bright.
Rockford sounds an optimistic
note. Labor conditions, as spring
advances, shows up much better.
Common labor is more in demand,
casual work showing improvement.
Demand for farm workers exceeds
that of last year but with wages
greatly reduced. A shortage seems
to exist for good competent general
farm hands at a going wage of $50
to s35 per month and room, board
and washing.

Editor, The Argus: Last January
the members OF Colonel Bracket

at a meeting in Memorial hall vot-
ed to prepare for a bazar TO be
held at the coming Easter time,
and their president asked member
who is somewhat of writer, TO
compose and type verse soliciting
small donations from their friends.
This the member did, preparing the
following verse:
Please send 'twixt this and Easter
time
A little package worth dime;
Some dainty souvenirs by mail
Will greatly swell our parcel sale.
If you sometime, returns should
ask
Response will be a pleasant task
So grant this favor, sister dear,
And send your gift with words of
cheer.
Over a hundred of these were
typed, each member taking a share,
affixing her name and sending them
to their friends.
About a month later, a member
of the ladies' aid society of the
Memorial Christian church was
calling at the writer's rooming
place, and the daughter of the house
handed her the little rhyme to read.
"Oh." said this woman, that is
good, and would do to advertise
was, You cannot do that. l wrote
that for our circle, the ladies OF
the G. A. R., and if you used it, it
would be plagiarism You must
not do that"
Nevertheless it was done, and
printed postal cards and slips are
being sent out bearing the verse
word for word, signed Memorial
Christian Church-BaZar April 12''.
One is left to wonder, if, in the
face of this dishonorable act, it
would not have been more consist
ent to have omitted the word
Christian.
The writer is a member of a ma
tional press association, and, &C
customed as she has been to the
strict courtesy extended to each
and all associations of like trend,
it was somewhat of a shock to her
to find women in a church guilty
of such a culpable act, giving the
author not even the courtesy of
quotation marks as the press laws
require.
In protesting to a member of the
church against the use of her
property and that of the little pa
| triotic order to which she belongs.
the author was given the following
reply: There are 200 of these
printed. They will be sent out
broadcast, and you cannot help
yourself"
Had the article in question been
copyrighted this would have been
la matter for the courts; as it is.
the writer can only obtain redress
by giving publicity to the utter
disregard of the ladies' aid society
OF the Memorial Christian church
for the property of others. and
knowing she has right on her side
IS not AFRAID to denOunce this bra
zen act of plagiarism over her own
signature.
