The decision is based on the assumption that the property own ers affected would suffer financial loss through the widening, and that the qity, through having for years tacitly admitted the existence of the street line as it now is by making walks and the like, had lost the right to change be made the lines even though such change would make the street straight. The report of the special master will go back to the circuit court for approval. The city has leave to file exceptions to the decision, and this will undoubt edly be taken advantage of by City Attorney J. F. Witter. The matter is the outgrowth of an ordinance adopt ed by the city fixing the street lines of Second street 'and ordering the re moval of several fenres. The property owners applied for and received a tem porary injunction, and the matter was then referred by the court to Mr. Hu ber as special master In chancery.

It drives any telephone company not using Automatic Telephones out of business. i -eras 12,000 Is the Number ' of Telephones mil If fit The Automatic Telephone has been adopted by the govern ments of England, France, Germany, Australia and sev eral other governments. The above shows what the Telephone Trust is doing to Rock Island (Choking Rock Island's development). 7his is the Automatic Telephone. It gives the best service at the lozvest price. Residence 'Phones as Low as $1.00 Per Month We can collect no money whatever for telephone service until we have 12,000 telephones in use. The franchise says so. We can never get 12,000 telephones unless we do two things: 1st. Give lower rates than the trust. -2. Give better service than the trust. YOU DON'T RISK A PENNY For you get lEt. Lower rates. 2d. Better service. - Zd. More telephones. Before you pay us a cent. Think it over, talk it over. A solicitor will call later for an appli cation for Automatic Telephone Service. This Is a new telephone company owned by successful telephone men and representative business men of the tri-cities. The voters of Davenport and Moline granted us a franchise by the largest majority ever given any public enterprise In this country.
