East Moline and Silvis 15th Avenue, East Moline Phone E.M. 755-3401 Open Until 6:30 P.M. Daily Council in Silvis Tables Request For Funds for Justice of Peace Silvis City Council last night voted to table a letter received from the justice of the peace committee of the Rock Island County Board of Supervisors in which it was pointed out that Justice of the Peace N. L. McGehee of Silvis has been required to pay a $75-a- month secretarial fee out of his own pocket in connection with the handling of Silvis city court cases.
The tone of the letter implied that the city should reimburse McGehee for this expenditure. The Council, without discussion, voted to table the letter. McGehee and Silvis Mayor Peter Dreier engaged in a clash of written statements two weeks ago when Dreier criticized McGehee for assessing what the mayor termed "ridiculously low" fines. The mayor said the modest fines had resulted in decreased revenue for the city. McGehee later criticized Dreier Segura, Cooksey Police Appointments Approved The appointment of Frank gura as Silvis police chief received approval of the City Council last night.
The aldermen also approved the appointment of Leo Cooksey as assistant chief. The names of both men were submitted by Mayor Peter Dreier and approval in both cases was unanimous. Segura, formerly sergeant, has been acting chief since the resignation of LeRoy Swanson in June. Cooksey, also a sergeant, was named to fill the assistant chief post, which has been vacant for some time. Mayor Dreier announced on Aug.
8 that he would submit the appointments of Segura and Cooksey for Council approval. On a motion by Ald. Vance Little, the Council voted to make gura's salary as chief retroactive to June 15, the date that he was named acting chief. His salary as chief will be $425 a month.

Vance Little, finance committee chairman, appealed to department heads and city officials to cut down on expenses as much as possible. An economy move is necessary, he said, in order that expenses can be met during the remainder of the year.
It was voted to pay the Bank of Silvis interest charges of .89 on a $50,000 note which the city has at the bank. Portions of the note are of long standing and payments on the principal of the note have been slowed down because of the rebate which the city has had to make to the railroad as a result of a court tax decision of last year. In other business, the Council approved a uniform electrical code. It is similar to one adopted by other area cities. It also was voted to purchase an air conditioner for the Council room.
Ald. Little voted "no" on the proposal. In Uniform RONALD BREEDEN BAD TOLZ, Germany Sp.4C. Ronald E. Breeden, son of Mr.
