SIDEWALK WORK
COMPLETED SOON

Two Of Moline's municipal side-
walk projects will be completed by
the end Of the week. Final inspec-
tion of the work completed is now
under way.
! Contractor Ed Shelley, under
whose supervision the work was
done on the southwest bluff, has
notified City Engineer Payton that
the last work included in the ordi-
nance has been finished.
The. Western Construction COM
pany expects to lay the last walk
included in sidewalk ordinance No.
l before the week Is over. This
ordinance provides for the placing
of cement-concrete walks in the
lower east side, thereby replacing
the title walks.
Plans for a number Of other side
walk projects are either completed
or near completion, but because of
necessary technical delays no con-
tracts will be awarded until mid
summer.
However, many Of the property
owners are not waiting for the city
to award contracts, but are engag-
ing, contractors to place sidewalks
in front of their property. At least
a half dozen men are engaged in
the work Of sidewalk construction.
