Prizes of 500, $50 and SIS are
offered for the three best entries
each in the float, band and patrol
divisions of the grotto parade IN

of beautiful floats.
There are still many business
houses that have failed to notify
the proper officials of their inten-
ton TO be REPRESENTED in the pa
rade The committees are striving
to have every merchant and society
of Moline represented. l.. R Gay
lord, chairman of the parade COM

Parking on Second and Third
avenues throughout the loop" dis
trict is to be prohibited during the
grotto convention, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, Chief of Police
Thomas Cox announced today.
II the size of the crowds down
town warrant. he said. parking will
also be prohibited on these avenues
throughout the period of the Trans
Mississippi Exposition and Pageant
OF Progress.
Unless the traffic becomes too
great no special parking and rank
ing rules for the side streets down
town will be made. The present
force OF policemen, with no addi-
tons to the number, will operate to
maintain peace and order in the
loop" These are the only pro-
visions the department OF public
health and safety has seen fit to
make for downtown traffic June "a
TO July A.
Chief Cox expects that there will
be heavy traffic over Second and
Third avenues during the grotto
convention and that many cars will
also use those two routes the rest
of the week He rather expects
that parking downtown will not be
so general that the traffic on side
streets will be congested
I'VE will take the traffic as it
comes and handle it as the occa-
sion warrants" the chief said to-
day. IF so many park downtown

Rules for Expo.
More definite are the provisions
for traffic at Douglas park. the
scene of the Trans Mississippi Ex-
position shows. Parking or rank
ing along streets within several
blocks of the park in all directions
is expressly forbidden.
Ninth street, from Fourteenth to
Eighteenth avenue; Eighteenth av-
enue, from Ninth to Fifteenth
street, and Tenth street, from Fiji
teenth to Eighteenth avenue, will
be closed to parking or ranking Of
cars. Traffic may proceed to the
park by all these routes, and pas
sengers may be discharged there,
but the vehicles must move outside
of the zone indicated to be parked
or ranked.
Cars parked along these streets
and avenues would tie up the heavy
traffic which will be moving past
the park, Mayor H NJ. Schriver
pointed out today in explaining the
rules. II would also interfere with
the passage OF pedestrians, i'm
mense crowds of whom going to
and from the park will overflow the
sidewalks and use part of the
street In case of fire the appar-
atus from the hose house at Eigh-
teenth avenue and Ninth street
would find heavy traffic with wide
rows of halted cars on the sides of
the streets very hampering to its
movements.
Vacant lots in the vicinity OF
Fourteenth to Seventeenth avenue
on the west side of Ninth street
will be utilized for parking of au-
tomobiles. Here, for a nominal
charge, cars may be left in safe
keeping while their drivers visit
the exposition.
