Bolly FIND FIRE PLUG WAS NOT FROZEN Waterworks department employes', who have been set to work by Com-j missioner Jonas Bear on the task of inspecting all of the fire hydrants ir. the city, yesterday found that the one at Twelfth street between First and Second avenues, was out of commis sion. A broken valve was found in It and It will be necessary to replace It with a new one. Several others were inspected and found in good or der. 'The work continued today and it is expected that it will take at least two weeks for the completion of it. No frozen plugs have beer, found in the present inspection. The hydrant which was found tc be out of commission is located near several handsome residences and should a fire have broken out In the vicinity the damage might have been heavy. But wherever there are any taps that are out of commission, re pairs will be made at once for it is the desire of the department to re move all obstacles which may jeopardize the property of any one in Rock Island. Disastrous fires in Davenport and Moline, due largely to the fact that hydrants were out of commission, have 6et an example for the local commissioners. FOOT FITTERS. 1807 Second Avenue. Rock Island.
