reminiscences of rock island lawyers by william jackson

William Jackson recalls his early legal career in Rock Island County, naming influential figures like Pleasants, Henderson, Knox, Drury, Hawley, Wells, Beardsley, Smith, Webster, Graham, Browning, and others. He recalls courtrooms at the old courthouse, famous cases, and shifts in litigation from property disputes to personal injury. The piece preserves local history, profiles jurists, and reflects on the era’s practice and personalities.

Public works clash ends in fifth ward court review

A mis understood sewer and water project in the Fifth ward faces possible court objections over a 45000 dollar assessment. At a Thursday indignation meeting of about 150 property owners, many called the assessment unequal and urged correction before county court confirmation. If not clarified, the court may strike the project. Meanwhile Moline’s new opera house progress draws praise from theater syndicate leader F W Chamberlin, Chicago architect Lovell, and promoter Johnson, with a new ironwork contract valued 2000 to 2400 dollars awarded to Davenport Foundry & Machine Co.
