MAYOR IN REPLY
TO ASSOCIATION
Rock Island Executive Explains How
West Liberty is Able to Get
Paving Cheaper Than Here.

Mayor MCCOnochie today issued a
statement answering the resolution
adopted by the Thirteenth Avenue
Improvement association Saturday.
The statement is appended:
The price of paving brick in West
Liberty, Iowa, is the same as in Rock
Island, regardless of the freight rates
from Galesburg. The charge Of $1.S3
per square yard in West Liberty does
not include the excavations. On the
Twelfth street project in Rock Island,
including the excavation, the price is
S1.9O. Another point is that the West
Liberty job was cash. Ours is in
vouchers and paving bonds. West
Liberty paper is per cent and
runs 10 years, but the city there mar
kets the bonds. The main saving in
the West Liberty job was the haul,
the work being done parallel to the
railroad tracks. Compare the haul
with that on Twelfth street here"
