The Argus has spoken heretofore of
the continued reduction in the number
of men employed at Rock Island arsen
al, owiny to the disposition of the ord
nance department to permit the '.work
that it has bi-en the cu.-'om to manu
facture at the arsenal going to private
concerns.
It Is a subject. assuredly, in which
the people of Rock Island are naturally
interested, one in which they should
bestir themselves, through the local
representative bodies, and through the
proper channels of influence at the na
tional capitol.

The complaints that are constantly
beard of the dilapidated condition of

reason. There Is not a worse piece of

Railway company has had a portion of
the rail on the ground for this improve
ment for some time, and has been
promising all summer to have it put in.
As a matter of fact the rails through
Second avenue should have been relaid
in preference to Third avenue, and if

Various Things That the Mayor
Should Get Mov
ing. DELAY IN REAL NEEDS
Fire Department Adjuncts Are First
Too Many Loose Ends in Ad
ministration. There are a great many loose ends
in Mayor McCaskrin's administration
that he ought, with the co-operation of
the council, to gather up pretty soon if
he wants the first summer of his in
cumbency of the executive chair to
show materially in substantial aceom
plishments.
As has been frequently remarked in
these columns, the permanent disposi
tion of the head of the fire department.
and the selection of a responsible
chief of police, would, if the right men
are selected go a long ways toward
stimulating public confidence in the ef
ficiency of the present mayor.
Mr lay in Providing RtiMrntlnlw.
Then there are many other things
that are developing into subjects of a
policy of procrastination as the days
speed by. Chief among these are the
fire department essentials, in the
alariu system for which the people
have been crying for years, and the
aerial truck, the need of which has
been so often shown. Both these requi
sites were promised by Mayor iMcCask-
rin at the outset of his administration,
and are still promised. The hope in
both instances is cheering, but there
is an old story of the constitutional ef
fects of hope too long deferred.
The necessity of a new pump at the
waterworks, is one that botn the mayor
and council must face. So that with
the absolute needs to the protection of
tax payers and citizens generally so
clearly shown, there does not seem to
be the occasion for the mayor to take
ujion bis shoulders too many of the re
sponsibilities that under the ordinan
ces belong to capable subordinates, or
to go about lookfnji for new fancies.
' The more logical course would seem to
repose in cleaning up the necessary
things and in doing it now.
t oulll H- lulckl Settlrd.
It ought not to be necessary to waste
time in the matter of the proposed
street railway passenger pavilion in
combination with the Market square
weighmaster's quarters. The question
is a simple one. If accomodations are
to be provided for patrons of the street
cars, the Tri-City Railway company
should build the structure or provide
the money for its construction un
der the direction of the city and
present it to the
There ought to In
city outright,
no complica
tions involved in such a transac
tion and no abandonment of city prop-
erty either by lease or otherwise
It
the city is disposed to mane a reason
able provision such as would insure its
joint use by other railways, suburban
or otherwise, that might be well and
good, but if a street car waiting room
is built it is the duty of the street car
company to do it. This is a matter
that ought to be readily settled. If the
railway company is unwilling to re
spond, the scales ought to be restored,
and without delay.
A few important things at a time,
properly attended to, leaving petty de
tails for departmental disposition,
would help along amazingly toward a
creditable administration of municipal
affairs.

A contract was signed last evening
by the Electrical Workers' union and
Contractor Bert Wasson. of this city,
and today the men, who have been on
a strike several weeks, returned to
work, and the shop will be taken from
the unfair list of the Tri-City Labor
congress. The contract grants the
men everything they were- asking, in
cluding an eight-hour day and an in
crease to 35 cents an hour. The action
taken by Mr. Wasson in signing up
with the union is expected to have its
effect on some of the other contract
ors, and it is expected that the strike
will soon be brought to a close.
Of the Tri-City contractors Louis
Corry, of Davenport, signed the agree
ment a week ago, and the Iowa Electric
company made terms some time ear
lier. There were about 30 men who
went out in the first place and by the
signing- of agreements 10 have gone
back to work, while an equal number
have left the tri-cities and found em
ployment elsewhere.
Another influence that will be
brought to bear on the contractors will
be the action of the Building Trades'
council next Monday evening, when, it
is expected that the council will take
action favorable to the interests of the
electrical workers. The men are
much elated over the settlement of the
difficulty with Mr. Wasson. and natur
ally are well pleased with their success
in securing the conditions asked. At
Monday's meeting of the Trades coun
cil Vice President Kirby. of the Nation
al Trades' organization, will be present,
and will address the council.

' It begins to look as though the same
old mysterious influence is at work In
Rock Island to prevent the city from
making a test of asphalt pavement.
Fifteenth street property holders from
Twelfth to Eighteenth avenues have
been under the Impression that they
are to have their choice of material in
the improvement of their street, but
today's developments have rendered it
doubtful whether they will or not.
This morning the board of local im
provements met at the city hall for the
purpose of passing on the bond of
George E. Bailey, who, as agent for the
property holders, had been awarded
the contract on the assurance that by
this means a saving of 10 per cent
could be affected over the cost of the
improvement under the terms of the
McCarthy Improvement company, of
Davenport, which had previously been
tentatively given the work. The read
ing public is familiar with the history
of the case, the facts having been pub
lished in detail in The Argus.
Security in Offered.
Mr. Bailey offered ample security for
the sum of IS.Oou. which had been fix
ed as the amount, of his bond and it
was expected that the signing of the
contract would follow, the time in
which, under the law. Mr. Bailey must
close the deal expiring today. Other
wise the contract reverts to the McCar
thy people. ,But there were represen
tatives of the various interests at the
meeting and the question of the cor
rectness of the original specifications
was raised in issue, some advancing
the argument that no binder had been
provided for and that the Thomas J.
Peters company, of Chicago, to which
Mr. Bailey expected to sublet the con
tract, did not mean to put to use a bind
er in the work.
For the information of those who are
not familiar with the term it should
be stated that the binder is a specially
prepared material used between the

concrete and tho asphalt to hold the
two together. City Engineer Treichb r
says it is not necessary and much of
the asphalt pavement is laid without
it. for when a binder is used it is pos
sible to do the work with an inferior
quality of asphalt to the detriment of
the improvement, while, if there is n
binder the best of asphalt is used and
a better job is done. Mr. Treichler says
the specifications were purposely pre
pared to avoid the use of a binder and
that the McCarthy company submitted
a bid without entering any objection f
doing the paving in the manner indi
cated. Create.! Doubt.
But the effect of the question when
it was raised this morning was to cr"
ate doubt in the minds of some and
there was an animated argument. Mav
or McCaskrin, who is chairman of the
board, stated that he wanted the city
council to pass upon the matter again
and it was eventually decided to let it
do so. So a call was made today for a
special meeting of the city fathers at
S this evening.
There are those who say that the
question is entirely out of the hands of
the council now and that it is up to the
board of local improvements alone to
let the contract or to refuse to let it.
The property holders are divided and
it bxiks as though whatever action is
taken, the opposition will make a des
perate tight, perhaps going to the
length of carrying the case to the
courts.
