The Unions argument against
Messrs. Dauber and Junge is that
they own fast horses. That NAV be
so. and thei. equine possessions are
all winners. too. They generally
distance all competitors. Messrs.
Dauber and Junge do business on
that principle. That is what is both
ering the Union.
Aid. Dauber's position in the coun-
Gil has been for furthering public
improvements without discrimina-
tion. He has maintained that if the
ordinary property holders could
stand the cost of paving without
complaint. the Improvement should
not stop the moment it strikes
the extensive lands surrounding the
city.

to beautifying Garnsey square. of
which he is commissioner. Already
he has secured a number of hand
some ornaments in the way of vases.

In the Engineering News is given
the following: 1.-The bids for paving
Twenty-third street. Rock Island. H..
are with n single course of brick up
on n macadam and sand foundation
The bids are all higher than Quincy,
H.. has lately received; but this is
probably owing to the difference in
foundation. Quincy has practically
nothing but sand foundation,
which. though cheaper than macad-
am. will probably prove very dear in
the end. as the sand will probably
work up through the joints and in
short time make reconstruction
! necessary"
