DAVENPORT PREPARING FOR THE BRIDGE
The Davenport Gazette of yesterday l25th
states that large purchases of real estate
have been made in that city with view &c
the relocation of the track of the c., r. /
4 ?. railroad from the Iowa end of the new
government bridge to Fifth street. After
referring to the fact that few days ago
Jno. L. Cofin purchased the greater part of
the block bonded by Iowa and lie Claire
and Second and Third streets, the Gazette
says:
In the block diagonally opposite above,
between Third, Fourth, Iowa and Rock
Island streets, extensive purchases were
made yesterday, viz: Four of the brick
residences in Keystone Place on Fourth
street, ono lot west of the PENNSYLVANIA
House, of Davis a Sons, for $500, each,
and the one.half lot of Mr.. J. Thompson
separated from the above by the Barclany
property, for $4,000.
SO the line is indicated across these two
blorks-although complete right of way has
not been secured 10 Fourth street, on the
north side of which the track will strike the
old Ebenezer Cook property, corner Of Rock
Island street, It is said, and crossing latter
thcroughfare to Mrs Sanders residence
pass on through Mr.. Warwick's property, be.
tween Rock Island and Perry streets, and
make a junction with the track on Fifth
street
Then there IS rumor that q new depot
i to be built on the lots on the northwest |
corner of Iowa and Fifth streets, purchased |
couple of DAYS since by DIR. Burtis. So /
It would appear, providing the railroad com.
psuy is at the bottom of the aboye.msa. |
