partment of public welfare, thank
ing the members for appointing T.

possession of two letters bearing
upon the proposed township incor-
poration for which he asked a hear
ing.
The two communications con-
sisted of personal letter addressed
to w. A Frewert, town clerk of
Rock Island, by A D. Rodenberg,
an assistant in the Office of Attor-
ney General Edward ]. Brundage.

the township organization act I'M
der which the city council of Rock
Island asked the board to in
corporate part of South Rock Is
land township into Rock Island
township was constitutional, and an
official opinion written to State
Attorney B. S. Bell by Attorney
General Brundage to the effect that
the resolution passed by the Rock
Island city council asking for the
Incorporation, was not a sufficient
compliance with the provisions of
the paragraph
The letter from the attorney gen.
eral to States Attorney Benjamin
S. Bell, is as follows:
Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 21.-Hon
! B. S. Bell, Rock Island, Ill-Dear
Sir: 1 am in receipt of your favor
of the 14rh instant and note state
ment Of facts in substance as fol-
lows: That the city of Rock Is
land is a city of more than Is 900
population; that the corporate lin
/ its of said city includes all of Rock
Island city and a portion of South
Rock Island township
| You say, too, that the city coun-
Gil of Rock Island by resolution re-
Quested the county board to annex
that portion of South Rock Island
township that is within the corpor-
ate limits of said city to Rock Is
land township.
you ask to be advised whether
paragraph 1876 of the township or
ganization act makes it obligatory
on the board of supervisors to act
in compliance with said resolution,
and annex said portion of South
Rock Island township to Rock Is
land township.
Detaching Part Is Block.
I'm reply, 1 will say said para
graph 1856 provides in part: That
whenever the territory of any city

OF a population OF not less than 15.-
900 shall be composed of portions
OF two or more townships. and shall
by its council request by resolution.
the county board to organize it into
separate township, and
shall designate the name thereof.
It shall be the duty of the county
board TO comply with such request
and provide for said organization
of said city into new township
under the name designated in such
resolution of said city council
ut will be noted that said para
graph does not provide for detach-
ing a portion OF a township and an
nexing the same to another town
ship in pursuance of resolution
Of city council
"A resolution of a city council
as the basis for the action of the
county board in creating such city
separate township, must comply
strictly with the. provisions of said
paragraph 1876: such resolution
should recite the fact that it has
a population of not less than 49,
900; that it is composed of territory
situated in two townships. and re-
quest that it be created a separate
township and designate the name of
such township.
Upon the statement of facts as
set out in your inquiry it would
seem that the resolution of the city
council of Rock Island requesting
the county board to annex that por-
ton Of South Rock Island town
ship embraced within its corporate
! limits to Rock Island township, is
not a sufficient compliance with the
provisions of said paragraph to
make it the duty of the county
board to take action in said mat

II am not prepared to say that
said paragraph does not apply by
reason of the fact that a city in

BALTIMORE. Nd. Jan. 15.-
Clifford Hartung. for ten years has
ranked as one Of the best basket
ball guards in the east He plays
with the three-time champion ST.
Andrews club of Baltimore. Md
Last season Hartungs eyesight
hogan TO fail, and at the start OF
this season he found he could see
only a few yards ahead OF him.
Friends urged him 10 give up the
game as ne was counting serious
injury.
But Hartung and basketball re-
fused 10 be separated so easily.
He first went to an oculist and pro-
cured the sort Of heavy glasses
thought best fitted for the court
game. Then he had constructed a
special headgear TO protect his
eyes.
He started the season with the
Champs and is going as strong as
ever. The guard and glasses do
not bother him. and he expects TO
wind up the season again ranking as
one Of the best players in the east.
Hartung is an aggressive player,
and it was feared he might be at a
decided disadvantage. However, ne
appears to have solved the matter
OF proper protection for the eyes
and 80 far his game has not suffered
in the least.
