.BECHTEL'S OFFER
is SATISFACTORY
Davenport Man May Again Be
Awarded Bond Issue by
Moline Commission.

Not much in the way of premiums
can be expected this year in the sale
of public improvement bonds, at least
in comparison with some former years
This was made evident when the city
commission in session yesterday after
noon opened proposals for the pur-
chase OF $4,000 fire department i'm
provement bonds authorized by the
voters at the election April 81. There
were eight bidders, the most satisfac-
tory bid coming from George NJ. Bech-
tel of Davenport, who offered pre-
MUM of $197. Mr.. Bechtel has bought
other Moline municipal bonds, and the
city has always had satisfactory deal
ings with him. The probabilities are
that he will be awarded this issue
when the commission takes final ac-
ton Monday.
