THE ARGUS. TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1906. 5 A louse And Something About It Did you say you wanted to buy a house? If so, you're the fellow that this is intended for. You see we have a good many houses for sale but this Is all about one particular house and it's a beauty and a bar gain. As you approach the house you will notice that it is an cast front that the lot is high with just a nice terrace. The cement sidewalks, which add a great deal to the looks of the place, extend all along the front of the lot clear around the house and back to the alley. The arrangement of the downstairs is such' that your wife can do all her housework without getting tired it's han dy doesn't require a whole lot of unnecessary steps. When you enter tfce front door you encounter an elegant reception hall with a fine oak staircase leading upstairs. The hall is as large as an ordinary room. Off to one side is a wide doorway connecting with the living room which is roomy enough to justify the name.' The dining room and the kitchen occupy the balance of the downstairs. The kitchen has every thing in it to make life comfortable gas stove, 6ink, hot and cold water, big pantry, etc. Downstairs from the kitchen is the cellar. You will no tice that it is extra large, being under the whole house. Also, that the foundations are of Le Claire stone, and 18 inches thick. The furnace is a good make and big enough to keep the house warm in the coldest weather. The upstairs vas planned with an eye to convenience. There are three bedrooms and a bath room all opening off of the upstairs hallway. Each bedrcom has two windows and a roomy clothes closet and all three are extra large. The bath room has a porcelain tub large enough for a short swim. It is also . furnished with every other conveni ence including a medicine closet in which to keep the arnica. The plumbing is strictly high grade. No danger of the water pipes or connections rusting out and leaking all over the car pets. You will he surprised at the price it is ridiculously low. But the owner has a special reason for selling and is willing to let it go at cost $3,600. We would be glad to haul you out to look at the place or any other of the numerous houses which we have listed. on If you buy the property and want to borrow pome money it we have it to loan at 6 per cent.

John P. Sexton, Prop. I At the regular ranting of the city council last evening, the question of telephone rates was again presented, when an ordinance was offered to amend the Illinois Independent Tele phone company's franchise ordinance, under which the Union Electric com pany operates here. The amendment provides for the increase in the rates of the company's phones to a maxi muni of 48 a year for business tele phones, and $24 a year for residence phones, and ietitions the relief of the company from the two per cent fran chise tax of the original ordinance, The matter was laid over until Wed nesday evening, when it with other matters, will be taken up in a commit tee of the whole meeting of the council E. J. Burns, the company's local manager, was present, and was grant ed permission! to speak in behalf ol the proposed amendments to the ord inance. lie sjoke to some length on the question of rates, presenting much the same arguments as were pre sented to the council when the mattei of the rates of the Central Union com pany before the body some months ago. Mr. Burns declared that the com pany under the present regulations is operating as an absolute loss. .MitNt Ksprnil $1.10,000. In regard to the relief asked from the 2 per cent tax, he said that the orders and demands now made for tlif company for increased telephone ser vice' in the three cities, and in the new er territory east of Moline, are such that in order to meet the requirements the company must expend $150,000 This, he said, could not be done under axisting conditions, and not until the company was placed on a basis that would show an attraction to outside capital. The new capital and the rev enues as well, would, he said, be en tirely spent within the three cities mainly in the construction of new ser vice. lOnooiirnK Outnifle t'npllnl. The point on which Mr. Burns laid particular stress, was that Kock Island is now seeking to bring in outside cap ital, and that outside capital, already interested here, should not be driver iway, but should rather be given every encouragement, and particularly in ai instance where the investment is shown to be a losing one. The Union ElectrU Telephone and Telegraph company hac? hrough the medium of outside capital established here a local Institution, had built a fine building, and otherwise in dicated its purpose to become a perma acn-t factor in promoting public ser vice and contributing to the induce ments and advantages of the city. Tht city council, the public would naturallj expect to do all in its power to enabh the enterprise to prosper, rather than o lose money. Mr. Burns offered in behalf of the .wmpany, to lay open the books and accounts of the company to demon strate the relation of the expenses o operation and the income under pres ent rates and the burden of the fran chise tax. It Is expected that the com mittee of the whole will delegate somt committee to investigate and report on the business of the company. Tho ordinance for the placing ol waste paper boxes in the business part of the city by R. H. Taylor, giving him an exclusive right for 10 years, .was presented, and was with the telephone miinanee referred to the committee ol he whole. Objection to Sldfwalkn. The council. heard the protest of a large proportion of the property hold ers In the First ward against the pro posed sidewalks, and various of the property owners were heard in support of the objections to the ordinance. Th prayer of the petition was granted, and action on the ordinance deferred. This evening the board of local improve ments will hold an adjourned meeting for the purpose of a hearing on the sidewalk improvement of the Secont ward. Alderman Smith brought up the mat ter of the necessity of making cuts in the streets in the Third ward, where the sidewalks are being brought tc grade, and demanded action with p view to grading the streets. The mat ter was discussed to some length, and was" referred to the street and allej committee. Mayor Now Wantu to Errot Fountain. Mayor McCaskrin presented a peti tion for permission to erect a drinking fountain on Flauroni square, and to paint the structure over the present abandoned? fountain, at his own ex pense.
