N0RVSA0A SVAASckOAAoSAA~SsS
Geneseo, Aug. 10.-The city coun-
Gil met in regular monthly session
at the city building last Tuesday
evening, Mayor Charles G. Davis
presiding. The monthly bills
against the city add the Hammond
hospital were ordered paid.
Mayor Davis made detailed
statement regarding the new pro-
posed sewer system. Final action
by the city council may be taken
at the next monthly meeting by
enacting the required ordinance re-
lating tbtfeto. The estimated cost
at the present time as compared
with the estimated cost at the time
it was first proposed is approx
mately 40 per cent less. This saw
ing will. be appreciated by the peo-
pie of Geneseo and will enable the
city administration to contract for
the best and most complete plans
advisable.
Another item of especial interest
acted upon by the city council is
the authority given a proper COM
mittee to employ motorcycle po-
liceman especially to enforce the
automobile laws Of the state and
the ordinances of this city. Local
opinion generally approves of this
step in the enforcement of automo-
bile regulations. Many complaints
have been received by the city Of
ficials detailing infractions of the
law regarding speeding, lack Of tai
lights and open cut-outs.

grow dustier as committees await
the arrival of the first oil shipment,
ordered Is days ago.
Today committees stated that
the slowness in the arrival or the OIL
shipment was undoubtedly due to
railroad conditions. The order for
the greater amount of the needed
road oil has been placed and COM
mittees hope to make the spread
before the Mercer fair, Sept. 20 to
Oct. 2.
With possibly one exception the
usual main roads will be oiled and
the oiling on some roads extended.
On the south road, MERGERS oiled
section is expected to connect near
Little York with the road oiled
from Monmouth. 1t is probable
that the oiling of the route from
AleGo to Buffalo Prairie will be
connected with the oiled route out
OF Muscatine.
Joy, Seaton, Viola and Burgess
will be connected with the county
hub. With roads oiled from other
cities to the above named places
there will be many dustless round
trip drives for Mercer county auto
lists. The main road northwest out
of Aledo to Rock Island will not be
oiled as grading for the pavement is
expected to start this fall. 1t is
planned to oil the road north on
! Locust street and then east to the
Perryton church in this way. max
ing an oiled highway from Aledo to
