The fact that Rock Island pursued
the even tenor of its way the past
year making its customary progress
and substantial growth, notwith-
standing the dull times that op-
pressed and hindered the advance
ment of cities in general, has been
realized not only by our own people,
but has been commented upon
abroad where knowledge was had of
our commercial and mercantile stat
US, but the substautiation of these
opinions at the close OF the year is a
source OF extreme qualification.
There has been no halt i'm the march
of improvement in Rock Island. The
city has set the pace by a continue
ton Of paving extensions, making
also a decided innovation in the rad
ical sweeping new sidewalk ordi-
nance, while new business blocks and
residences have testified to the pub
lie spirit OF individuals. The aggre-
gate of the building during the
year is $6l4, to that
of last year, when some of the
largest and most expenivc build
ings ever erected in the city
were put up, and year. too, when
the early conditions were more ia.
vorable to such progress than they
have been the past season in the
country at large. For a quiet year,
therefore, Rock Island has done well
enough with its half million OF build
ing improvements, 50 that while
viewing with pride the record Of the
past. may we not look forward will
