Neglected Condition of the Upper end

To the Editors of The Argus.
wish to call the attention of our citi-
gems to the bad condition of the upper end
of Illinois street. Some time ago our bus
mess men seemed determined to make
the approach to the bridge as desirable as
possible in order to retain the trade of the
Island Notwithstanding one side of the
street being encountered with railroad
track, it is still the principal thoroughfare
| between our business centre and the ISL
and aud the city of Davenport. 1t is to be
regretted that our city has,s the years
past. neglected to have the gaslght ex-
tended these few blocks from Madison
street to the bridge There is great dan
ger of serious accidents by collision OF
those hacks and carriages that frequent
| that street in dark nights
The sidewalks at the foot of Broadway
and in front of the old foundry are tht
worst in the city. The middle of thu
street is the lowest part of it, up near thu
bridge, thereby becouing disagreed
bic mudhole in wet weather This bein:
the most densely travelled street in th'
city, it is quite reasonable for the public
to expect it would be kept in better con
dition.
