The Rock Island transportation service announces a July 15 change to discipline. Suspension will be replaced by demerit records kept in the division superintendent’s office.

A three month perfect record cancels a reprimand, four months for 10 days, eight months for 20 days, and a year for 30 days. Credits and extra record reduce debit marks, aiming to reward efficiency and loyalty while identifying careless workers.

Change of venue motion in Schmid cases set for next Saturday
Judge Gest heard the motion for a change of venue in the criminal cases against Mrs Laura Schmid and will decide next Saturday. Judge Graves set the return of the writ of habeas corpus for the contempt case against Schmid on the same day, likely disposing of both matters. The motion alleges prejudice by Judge Gest. The court sustained the demurrer of the city in the Schnell and Tappendorf case in Rock Island. Gest ruled the 170000 dollars in bonds is not an additional debt as framed by the complainants and that the pump and water works contracts may not clearly create indebtedness against the constitutional limit. An appeal may be taken.
