The Ferry Franchise Issue.

A new phase has arisen in the ferry
franchise matter, in the refusal of the
city clerk at Davenport to renew the
license of the Davenport & Rock Isl
and Ferry company, for which appli-
cation was made the other day. The
Davenport city clerk informed the
applicant that he would be obliged
now to go before the council and Sc
cure renewal of his license in the
same manner and form as others are
obliged to, so that the Davenport
council will have the applications of
both the Davenport & Rock Island
and the Twin-City companies to act
upon at its next meeting.
Yesterday the old company got out

down the macadam recently placed
leading to its dock on this side. But
that will not do. 1t is pavement we
are after down there now-and only

THE GROWING ACT
Illegal Contract Winds Up the

THE FURNITURE DISCRIMINATION.

The browning act of the board of

was the awarding of the furniture
contract for the new court house.
Aside from the discrimination
against the lowest bidder. the Varie-
ty Wood works of this city. the act
in awarding it to the Moline Furni-

But this concluding act, Illegal as
it now appears to be, but winds up
the series of transactions that have
attended the entire court house con-
struction. and it is because the pub lic
has at last opened it's eyes to what
has been going on, beginning with
the meetings behind closed doors at
the outset. that some changes will
be made in the composition OF the
board a: the approaching election.
And it may be said further that
the modest resolution presented by
the retiring mbers, praising the
outgoing supervisors may have gone
with the board, but it does not with
the people who are to give express
sion either of approval or disapprov,
al of what has been done.
