Alfred c. Mueller. aided by a number
OF leading business men and progress
sive organizations. Is giving consider
able time and study at the present
time to a proposed city survey of Dav-
export The appelation city survey
is an abbreviated expression for an
extensive and important form of work.
IL is divided into three phases, as
follows: City survey. efficiency pro-
gram pnd city plans. In general a
city survey means city efficiency. 1t
is similar to the systems in vogue
in the large manufacturing plants and
industries-to get the best results IN
every detail of work at the minimum
cost. The survey would be followed
by an efficiency campaign to make the
city more efficient and then would
come the city planning details. Mis-
takes of past years would be elimin-
ated in the future. These mistakes
were largely due to the fact that the
city at the time had no set standard
for its work Much of II was done in
haste and In a haphazard manner.
Mayor Mueller will confer with the
Greater Davenport committee, the
Rotary club and other organizations
in order to secure their views on the
subject. CITY surveys" are in keep
ing with The larger progressive cities
OF the country. Many believe Dayen-
port IS now in line for such advance

ceived 4 warning from Mayor Muel-
Ter to refrain from lavish buying of

department is soon TO be established.
In his letter the mayor asked that
only such things as are absolutely
necessary be purchased at this par
