Would Repave River Road.-The city
council held special meeting Thurs
day afternoon at which it took up
proposition from G.. S. Johnson, the
Davenport Land & Improvement COM
pany, and others for the repaving of
the river road in front of Mcclellan
Heights Now that third of the street
will be torn up in removing the l. & l.
tracks, which go into the boulevard
and onto the new street for which the
Frahm property was condemned, an
offer has come to the city that should
result in the paving there being put
down in permanent shape. 1t was
originally only one course of bricks
laid on sand, and is always in bad
shape and continual source of ex-
pense on account of repairs. The prop
osition is to tear up all the bricks when
the street car track comes out and put
them back on a goo1 concrete fouu-
dation. The l. & l. company is under
stood to be willing to give the $1,15O or
so that it would cost them to put back
the paving after the track is out.

Patriotic exercises were held In all the
high schools, the normal schools and the
grade public schools today in honor OF
George Washington. Practically the whole
afternoon sessions of the schools were de-
voted to the program, which consisted OF
addresses by prominent speakers as an
nounced in The Star yesterday, and songs
and recitations by the pupils.
Reverence for Washington as patriot
and as a man was inspired by the carefui
selection of songs and by recitations giving
the main facts of Washington life, his
character, his accomplishments and the re-
suit of his deeds for the welfare of the
country, as well as by quotations from his
works In every school there was formal
salute to the flag and everywhere was sung
America" 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner,
