CASE CONTINUED

The case of Joseph Gross, plumb
er, who was arrested on complaint
of Frank L. Yerbury, plumbing in
spector, for violation of the plumb
ing ordinance, was continued until
next Saturday by Magistrate D. J.
Cleland in police court this morn
ing.
Gross is alleged to have repeat
eddy violated the city plumbing or
dinance and has been warned a
rumber Of times by the city COM
missioners and inspectors. He has
been doing work for number Of
people and made sewer and water
connections without first obtaining
a permit from the city. which has
resulted in much confusion. Con-
nections have been made on sew
ers where assessments were still
pending and connections have been
made on water pipes without re-
porting to the city Offices. Mr.. Yer
bury alleges.
Gross has been arraigned in po-
lice court before on the same
charge and at that time a 500 fine
was imposed on him. The fine was

WILL 81 AHEAD
WITH ELECT
PLANS Of CITY


Although Attorney General Ed
ward J. BrundAge Is unable to as
sist the city Of Rock Island in solv-
ing the question of how money ia
to be obtained to call q special
election for the proposed return to
aldermanic from the commission
form Of government, some way will
be found to finance the proposition.
1t is certain that an election will
be called. According to the law it
must be within so days after the
petitions were filed with the city
clerk. The city commissioners will
have further discussion on the
matter at the next council meeting
Monday, but, anyway, they are not
worrying about the funds just at
present.
The petitions were filed with
City Clerk Martin Rudgren Nov. 20,
and contained the signatures Of A.
688 voters in the city. 1t is proba-
BILE the election date will be set for
the first or second week in the new
year.
At the last council meeting the
commissioners discussed the means
by which an amount of $4,000, the
estimated cost of the election, could
be raised. 1t was believed at first
that an emergency fund ordinance
could be passed by the city coun-
Gil, but after investigation by City
Attorney John X. Scott. it was
found that this could not be done.
The reason that no appropriation is
held in the city treasury for an
election is because when the city
budget was made up at the begin
ming Of the city's fiscal year no
election was contemplated.
The Way Out.
The probable solution of the
fund question for the city will be
for the council to set the date of
the election and go ahead with it.
1t has been suggested that the mon
ey be appropriated out of the next
budget. This may not legally COM
ply with the city laws, but there
may be no other way out of it.

Ions SIlEIl
Of PAVED ROAD
OPEN TO TOURS


Attention Of motorists this week
is called BY the Mississippi Motor
club to the various routes with the
longest stretches Of hard reads.
Motorists who are driving from
Rock Island to Peoria by way Of
Cambridge may journey half the
distance on concrete by going to
Geneseo, the weekly report says.
The portion of the road which is
not paved on this route is oiled and
these sections are the smoothest Of
any oil sections covered BY the
patrol in the last two weeks. The
road from Geneseo to Atkinson is
not yet open and the detour Is
very rough. East bound tourists
are advised to continue to go by way
OF the Lincoln highway. The. Gales
burg road, via Geneseo and the Bur-
lington way is one-third pavement,
but the balance is very rough. Tho
road from Geneseo to Prophets
town is also rough.
Rock Island to Aledo-The road
is oiled all the way and in very good
shape for the first eight miles. The
Rock Island to Muscatine road is
in good shape the first IL miles, but
from the end Of the pavement be-
yond Taylor Ridge to Muscatine, it
is rough.
Rock Island to Fulton-The river
road is in far better shape than it
has been in several years and the
road patrol is maintaining the high
way in a splendid manner. There
are still some rough places, chiefly
the stretches leading out of
Watertown and the road between
the railroad tracks andPort Byron.
The Whiteside county end Of the
road is not so smooth.
Rock Island to Iowa City-The
road is being graded today but is in
fairly good shape. 1t is advisable
to use the detour between Durant
and Wilton. The balance of the
River-to-River road to Des Moines
is in fairly good shape. However,
the best road to Des Moines is
still by the way of Taylor Ridge and
Muscatine, on the Great White Way
from Muscatine to Des Moines.
