Council Also Considers Resurfacing
Third AVenue-TwO Minor
Actions.

Ten blocks of street paving, to
cost approximately $4S,534, were
authorized in two ordinances
adopted by the Rock Island city
council yesterday. The council
also considered an ordinance to re-
surface Third avenue, Ninth to
Thirteenth streets, at cost of
S19,325. All of this paving is to
be of asphaltic concrete.
One of the ordinances is to pave
Twenty-first avenue from Twelfth
TO Seventeenth streets, to cost
$26,246. Three sections, Twenty
ninth street between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth avenues, Fifteenth ave
nue. between Twenty-eighth and
Twenty ninth-and-a-half streets,
are included in the other ordinance,
the estimated cost being $22,2S8.
A sewer on the west side OF
Twelfth street in the Maurus addi-
ton to the city was authorized in
another ordinance which was
adopted. The sewer will cost s495.
Closing an alley il the V. NJ.
Blanding addition was proposal of
an ordinance which was considered.
The alley was described as extend
ing north and south in the rear and
east of of lots 2, 3, and g of the
addition. No longer necessary for
use as public alley" was the rea-
son stated for vacating the alley.

ACCORD POLICE
FORCE IS DAYS.
REST ANNUALLY
petition Gets Action From Council;
First Legal Limit of Kind
Here.

Policemen OF the Rock Island
force will take 15-day vacations
mis- summer and henceforth. Here
sofore they have had annual vaca-
lions of 10 days duration. The Is
aay vacation is authorized in an or
cinance considered yesterday by the
eity council offered by Commissioner
" II. FitZsimmons, and will prob
ably be adopted at next weeks
meeting.
Members of the police department
shall be entitled to furlough of Is
days. with pay, each year of ser
vice within the department, the
ordinance states. To be granted
this privilege, however, the recip-
lent must have completed a year of
service.
The schedule of individual fur
loughs, the ordinance provides, is
TO be arranged and granted by the
commissioner of health and safety
and the chief of police in such a
manner that the department shall
be at no time insufficiently manned.
The number of days each man is
absent during the year, for reasons
other than sickness or unavoidable
accidents to himself, are to be ad-
1usted by his pay for those days
being taken from his salary
Act mt Forces Petition.
Members of the police force
originated the action which resulted
in the furlough ordinance, by cir
culating a petition requesting the
definite fixing of annual furloughs
or vacations to Is days in length.
The petition, signed by most of the
force, was presented in council
meeting with the draft Of the ordi-
nance yesterday.
Custom has been the only guide
as to the length of furloughs here
tofore. Commissioner Fitzsimmons'
ordinance of yesterday is the first
in the city's annals to Tx the
length of policemen's vacations.

STOP WORK ON "a SHIPS
STEP WAS TAKEN IN ANTlClPA-
TlON OF NAVAL TREATY
RATIFICATION.
Building Operations Suspended Have
Cost the Government Approx
mateIy $5,ooo,ooo a Month.

Observation-Disclosures work on
fourteen capital ships was suspended
by order of Secretary DENLY under di-
rection of President Harding. The
step was taken in anticipation Of rati-
fication of the naval limitation treaty
which resulted from the Washington
conference and under which only
three of the vessels involved will be
completed as war craft. The other IL
will be scrapped or converted into
merchant ships under the treaty pro-
visions.
Secretary DENLY acted after Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt had discussed
with President Harding the terms OF
the treaty affecting the new ships.
Mr.. Harding approved the suggestion
that work be brought to a standstill
Immediately on the eight superdread-
naughts a%d six battle cruisers, pend
ing final action on the treaty. In
yound figures the building operations
thus halted have cost the government
approximately $5,OOO,OOO month.
Following ratification OF the
II eaty contracts for the new ships
will be cancelled. The ultimate cost
to the government Of this cancella-
ton cannot be determined in advance
but naval officers believe that a con-
siderable saving will be made
through the action.
Only one capital ship under con-
struction was exempted from sus-
pension order. She is the Colorado,
