'MOL|NEBOOSTERS
Want RIVER DOCK
viii Suggest to City Council That
Cement Wall Be Constructed Along
Bank by Sylvan Park.

Suggestion is to be made by pro-
gressive citizens of Moline to the city
council that the construction Of con-
crete wall along the river bank from
the east to the west end of Sylvan
park, or from Twentieth to Eighteenth
street, be one of the public improve
ments to be taken up during the sum-
mer of 1916.
The top of this proposed wall, which
would be about two feet in thickness,
would be level with the drive that now
extends along the river front. The
hollow that would then exist between
the drive and the wall would be filled
and leveled This would afford boat
landing of about thirty feet in width
which is the germ of the new idea.
Moline's only boat landing at the
present time is makeshift affair at
the foot of Sixteenth street. The pro-
posed landing in Sylvan park could
not, Of course, be used to any great ex-
tent, except possibly at its extremi-
Ties, 1or commercial purposes, but II
would do for passenger boats and for
handling what little river business Mo-
! line now has. In the course of time
when the people of Moline had real
lied the Importance of providing river
shipping facilities, the Sylvan landing
could become the west extremity OF
docks and loading platforms.
| Cost Of the wall, extending for the
two blocks specified, has been roughly
estimated at $4,000. Advantages that
would accrue to the city as whole
during the next few years from hav-
| ing such landing place would, the
boosters declare, exceed this sum by
thousands of dollars.
