PRo0REss During the last year one sin
gle man, Mr., J. NJ D. BCRRows OF this city,
putup over one and a half millions of bricks
In doing so he erected what is conceded TO
be the most substantial and beautiful block
of buildings this side of st. Louis. We have
no way of ascertaining the number of bricks
laid up last season, but We do know that not
only were the thirteen bick yards in this
city kept in active operation. but some
buildings were erected o material brought
from Rock Island; in addition to which there
were many stone and lmost any number of
frame houses built The present year not
only will there be more, but the class Of
buildings will be much superior to those of
last season, Davenport has not yet got a
fair start; hitherto she has labored under the
disadvantage OF great scarcity of building
materials, want that the present year will
be measurably overcome.
