Jail's History.
The new Jail was started in the
spring of 1920. In June, 1921, It
the judicial election, the board Of
supervisors presented to the vot-
ers the proposition of a special ta1
of 10 cents on the 500 assessed
valuation for period Of four,
years for the purpose of finishing
the interior of the Jail and render
ing 1t ready for occupancy. The
proposition was rejected, S,420 to

sition majority of about 700 but
Moline, East Moline and the rural
districts expressed strong disap-
prevail of the extra assessment,
which was intended to raise ap-
proximately $125,000. The propo-
sition of submitting the question Of
bond issue to cover the necessary
amount was approved by the board
of supervisors in their June meet
ing this year.

The success of the bonus meas
ure so far as Rock Island county
was concerned appeared never to
be in doubt from the time the I'M
official canvass was started The
early reports gave big majorities,
which seem to gain momentum as
the figures rolled in.
1t is estimated that $500 ex-serv-
ice men in Rock Island county will
receive funds from the state of Illi-
nois as a result OF the passage of
the proposition, which was given a
heavy majority throughout the
state. The vote approves the is
suance Of a $4,000, 900 state bond.
The former soldiers will be paid at
the rate OF so cents per day for
each day in the service in this coun-
try, and 81 for each day spent over

timated that the annual cost of the

Protection From High

HOOVER SENDS LETTER

Measures to protect the District of
Columbia from a fuel shortage and
from proflteering in coal when 1t
again becomes available in quantity
are expected to be set in motion to-
and Keller meet to discuss the re
quest Of Secretary Hoover. chairman
Of the Presidents coal distribution
committee, for appointment of an
emergency coal distribution commit
tee for the District Of Columbia.
Mr.. Hoover yesterday addressed a
letter to the Commissioners similar to
the kilograms he addressed to gov
ernors of the states last Thursday.
The request of the Commerce Secre-
tary and his suggested plans for in
suring adequate distribution Of coal
within the District are expected to be
Immediately taken up tomorrow.
Commissioner Oyster said last night
he has an appointment tomorrow
morning with an Official Of the Com
merce Department who has been di-
rectly concerned in the progress thus
far made in the governments coal
distribution plans.
Mr.. Oyster said he had not seen
the letter, but indicated that speedy
action on the communication would
be forthcoming. In his letter to
governors, Secretary Hoover said the
agencies and authority Of the govern
ment do not enable it to protect the
ultimate consumer of coal within the
boundaries of state further than
that coal sold in interstate commerce
shall be sold to the original pur-
chaser at a fair price and fair distri-
button between states be obtained.
Protection Local Issue.
Mr.. Hoover left entirely up to the
governors. and it was intimated up
to the District Commissioners. the
problem of seeing that the ultimate
consumer shall be protected upon
coal now in circulation and on resale
OF coal distributed. Equitable dis
tribution. he added, shall be left to
the authority of the local coal dis
tribution committees. The letters
were sent at the request of the Presi-
dent, with the request that a state
organization be created in order to
secure these results and with which
the federal distribution committee
can cooperate.
According to the communications
sent to governors, which were de-
clared at the Commerce Department
to be similar" to that sent to the
Commissioners yesterday. the matter
of price protection for the ultimate
coal consumer rests entirely within
the hands of the District coal dis
