,er ais for the seperstruc;ure being pet up
on tie ground as fast as possible with the
Intention of having it inclosed this fall, and
il possible, two rooms ready for the school
as carly as she beginning Of the winter term
There WAS some little delay on the par: Of
the School Board in commencing the work,
which Will preclude the possibility of com>
pleling the entire building this fall, yet this
delay will save some two or three thousand
dollars to the blilding fund. When every
thi1 s. shall be completed and the yard laid
out, Davenport can boast one Of the finest
school buildings in the West
We also took . look about the city, and
found that the results Of the trip which our
City Fathers took about the city las: spring
are being made manifest ia substantial
street improvements. Marquette street has
been graded and opened out to Locust ST.,
at cost of about 81 800. Other streets are
being improved aud on the whole We are in
fair way to have good passible streets.
Visiting the new fair grounds we found
Mr.. Krum just completing his work, which
results in as good half mile track rs there
is in the State, faced by row of seats ca.
pable Of accommodating at the lowest es,i>
mate 5000 people, and much easier of &C.
cess than those that were on the old
grounds. The accommodations for stock,
etc, are the best possible. and the Floral
Han, when decorated with the works Of the
ladies' Of Scott county will present sight.
the like OF which the State has never before
SHOWN. We doubt if there is 10 all Scott
county single individual that has no, made
up his or her mind to be in attendance
during the Fair.
