MAKING NEW LEVEES.
The Dock Line Which DaYen.
port is Seeking TO Es-
tablish.
BY RECLAIMING RIVER LAND

An Interesting Undertaking in Which
| the Government Is Asked to Cooperate,
which the City OF Rock Island Has
That Which She Has.
| Davenport is struggling in dead
earnest with the levee problem on
that side of the river. The dock line
plan which has heretofore been extern
sively alluded to is up for discussion.
A meeting of the Davenport Business
association was held last evening 10
consider the matter.
The new Davenport dock line as
approved by the government starts
from the riprap projecting into the
river at the Denkmann mill near
Fourth and Front streets, Davenport,
and runs straight to the first river
pier of the Rock Island bridge. From
this pier the line runs straight to a
point where it would intersect an ex-
tension of Brady street 500 feet south
of Front street. Thence it begins to
parallel Front street a little closer,
and aims straight at the point of Will
low island, DETECTING south at Mill
street and striking Willow island at
the same point as does the Crescent
| bridge. At Mill street the dock line
is $40 feet from Front street, or a
quarter of a mile. Building out to
the new dock line means the addition
to the city of 40 valuable acres, and
the Business Mems association be-
iieves that the people are in favor of
this improvement being made. stead
| ilv and Systematically. The assist
Is h. "
assured. In connection with this I'M
provement comes the question of
sewage disposal first to be intelligent
ly dealt with, and this is now agitat-
ing the people of Davenport. Return
ing to the subject of the dock line,
few figures will perhaps help to
locate it in the the mind of the reader.
The distances from Front street to the
new dock line on extensions of the
streets as named. show the running
out of Is streets from $40 to 1,34O
| feet.
Rock Islands Advantage.
The earnestness and determination
of purpose exhibited by Rock Island
in the matter of levee improvement
| has doubtless rearroused Davenport.
But the undertaking on that side is to
prove much mere expensive one
than it has in Rock Island, where Il
practical scheme has been reached and
executed for giving the city the most
attractive and ut the same time the
most accessible and useful levee on the
river. One reason that Davenport is
now obliged to invoke the aid of the
government to 90 out in the river and
reclaim land is found in the fact that
the city has permitted the railroads to
encroach too far on the levee proper,
and hence the city must now of neces-
sity go out further and try to find a
| new levee, Il condition that Rock ISL
and has but recently very happily
avoided here.

turn, the different societies of the
Rock Island churches to act as host
and entertainer.
There were nearly five hundred peo-
pie in attendance last evening. a
committee from the Memorial church
society, which had intire charge, re-
ceived at the front door, and while
the guests were assem- bling the asso-
citation orchestra gave an informal
concert in the reception room. At

was ann ounced, and the guests

which there were vocal solos by Miss

Holt, and readings by Misses Lille
Borgess. and Daisy Gould, of Moline.
Refreshments were afterward served.
