MOLINE is SATISFIED
Experience Has Shown That As
phaIt is Worth Rdded
Cost.
COMPENSATION IN APPEARANCES
Personal Investigation Will Furnish
Convincing Evil
deuce.

ANYONE who needs to be convinced
that asphalt pavement is not at least
as worthy of a trial as brick Will find
visit to Moline at this time more than
sufficient to overcome any doubt that
may exist in his mind. From the
standpoint of appearance alone, it is
worth the difference in cost over
brick. No other kind of pavement
so far devised exceeds in beauty
well laid roadway of asphalt when
bordered with the combination con
crete cutters and curbs as is done in
Moline.
The favor with which asphalt is re-
garded in Moline, where both kinds of
pavement have been tried. ought to
have some weight with Rock Island
citizens when they are considering
the question of material.
Brick Ont of Favor.
Since Moline's first asphalt was laid
last wear brick has received small
consideration in that city and this
season something like two miles OF
asphalt are being laid. Even the
Fifteenth street property holders
along the hill refused to have brick.
although in other cities there has
been some hesitation about putting
il down on inclines. owing to its
greater smoothness and to the fact
that it is inclined to become uneven
in such places through the action of
gravity. The Fifteenth street people.
however. insisted upon asphalt and
asphalt they have. regardless of cost
and the risk there is some reason for
believing they are running.
No Danger Here.
Fifteenth street in this city has
very little grade at any point and
there is no fear for its success on any
score If the. Fifteenth street pro
perty-holders in this city are fully
alive to their best interests as well
as to those Of the city in general. they
will at least take the trouble to make
! a personal investigation of the eN-
perience of Moline before being infiu-
enced too strongly by those whose
zeal in opposition to asphalt is not To
| be misunderstood.
