To attribute the improvements
Rock Island has made in the past five
years to McConochie is as ridiculous
as to give him credit for the advance
ment of our sister cities. Moline
and Davenport have made. The
purchase of the street railways of the
three cities was the starting point of
all the improvements which McCono-
chic has taken upon himself the
credit of. 1t is generally conceded
that but for the substitution of
double for single tracks thus reliev-
ing the first burdens of pavement. the
property holders would have made
more remonstance than they did at
the start. Once commenced the
pavement has been extended to all
the ends of the city, and the improve
ment became so popular that people
clamored for it, irrespective of the
part the street car company took of
the expense. In short the pavement
has done its own talking since the
first was put in.
