As Others See Us.

A Journal representative was in Rock
Island yesterday and was surprised to see
the activity manifested in brick paving.
which is being rapidly put In by large
force. Second avenue has been paved for
a good distance and a beautiful thorough
fare is the result. Stepping into the
ARGUS office, which fronts on this street.
and engaging in conversation with its
editor. we learned that brick paving came
hard and only after the hardest kind of
work. but now since it has commenced
everybody wants it. Mr.. Potter said
there were q good many people in Rock
Island. who. if they had been assured two
years ago that Second avenue would now
he paved. would have hOoted st the idea.
A Clinton gentleman also informed the
writer that in that city the brick paving
was giving splendid satisfaction and the
council had just ordered the paving of
several more streets. In Clinton the pay
ments are extended over eight years -
