FIFTEENTH STREET IS TO
BE PAVED WITH ASPHALT

\ majority of the property owners
on Fifteenth street have signed for
the paving of that thoroughfare with
asphalt from Third to Twelfth ave-
nues. thus virtually ending a neigh
borhood contest that has been waged
for months. Charles Johnson. Charles
Larson and William Schaarman have
conducted the campaign i'm behalf of
those favoring the Improvement and
they naturally feel elated over the
success that has crowned their eff
forts. Owners of $500 feet of the
frontage have signed for the pave
ment. This is Il majority of 500 feet
and there are a number of others
who have signified willingness To at
tach their names to the petition. OF
those signing the owners of but 200
feet favored brick. 1t is gratifying
to know that Rock Island is TO have
a trial of this kind of pavement. The
attempt has been made to try asphalt
before on some of the other streets,
but contractors interested in brick
have succeeded in knocking il out. 1t
is hoped the Fifteenth street property
holders will insist upon getting what
they want.
