1 TIMES-DEMOCRAT Tuesday, Nov. 7, 17 Davenport-Bi-tlmdorf, Iowa Moline Gets $18,000 Planning Grant For Marina By GUS KONDOS A federal grant totaling $18,000 has been allocated to the City Moline for engineering planning for a small boat marina on the Mississippi River, Mayor James F. Arndt said Monday. Announcement was made by Rep. Tom Railsback, R-Ill.

The city proposes to construct a marina to accommodate 180 boats in the vicinity of Forty-eighth Street and River Drive. Landfill of the river shoreline has been under way for several years. Moline applied for funds under the River and Harbor Act in 1962 with estimated costs set at $192,000. Engineering costs are separate. The city's share of construction costs will be $64,000 and the federal government will provide up to $128,000, Arndt was informed.

Arndt said representatives of the U.S. Corps of Engineers at Rock Island Arsenal have requested a meeting Wednesday to discuss the project. Arndt, City Engineer William Stoewer and Parks Supt. Ralph Birks will represent the city at the meeting. The marina, which will include a breakwater, will be 550 feet long and about 90 to 100 feet wide.

The marina is one of the several proposals for improvement of the river front for various recreational purposes. Most of the river front property, from Fifly-fifth to about Thirty-fourth Street on River Drive, has been acquired by the city. Land purchases have been carried out for several years. Considerable landfill is also along the other areas of the shoreline. Ex-Illinois Fulton Will Attend N.

111. Republican William J. Scott, Evans-ton, has tossed his hat into the ring as a candidate for Illinois attorney general in 1968. Scott, who served as state treasurer from 1962 to 1966, announced his candidacy early because he said he wanted his 1968 intentions to be "crystal clear." Scott, 40, had been discussed in some circles as a possible GOP gubernatorial candidate. But he said he believes he can "best be of service at the present time as attorney general." Democrat William G.

Clark has served as attorney general since I960. He has not announced his 1968 plans. Scott's bid for the attorney general's position will be his third try for a state office. After his successful bid for the treasurer's office, he was defeated in the 1964 gubernatorial primary by Charles H. Percy.

Percy lost the general election to Gov. Otto Kerner but won a U. S. Senate seat in 1966. Police Probe Fulton GirVs Assault Claim FULTON, 111.

"On the basis of the interview we'll continue an investigation," White said after talking to the girl at Mercy Hospital, Clinton, Iowa.

When the girl failed to return to her home her parents notified Fulton police and Rock Island County authori ties Sunday morning. White said he also questioned the girl friend who reportedly declined an invitation to enter the car carrying several young men.
