BUILDING Ass0ciA1l0N.-There seems 70
bs no COED reason why Davenport shsuld
not have Building Association, Is we'll ~
many Eastern citiss and towns. Many
places throughout the East have organized
ssois,ies Of this kind, and find them highly
beneficial, beth in . neral aud tecisl point
Of view. Their object 10 70 givs men Of
moderate mean, an opportunity to husband
their resources. and help them to comfort
abls homes. There hrs many in eur city
whom svel an association might very
materially help. We could name many
who have started life in this city during
the past ten years. who te-dav would have
tad comfortable homes but for money foo!
ishly squandsrsd. An institution Of this
nature would not emily help them, but would
also benefit the city, BY adding TO its gen
eral growth and prosperity. 6uppsss It Be
tried.
