Davenport City Paving Won't Quit in Bids Fight
Davenport competition for municipal contracts heats up as rivals almost clashed over city grading bids. The city council ordered all bids rejected and new bids called, while eight miles of paving are set for Davenport this summer with only a few sections excluded. Also noted are the death of longtime principal J R Bowman Tan in Ann Arbor after a major operation, a Davenport Ad club forming at the Commercial club, and a planned 164 by 150 foot storage warehouse by Mueller Lumber at Second and Scott streets with a brick front and three stone entrances.

Vehicle Makers Protest Tariff on Hides and Unclaimed Letters
Local manufacturers join to seek repeal of the 15 percent hide duty from the Dingley act of 1897. They argue tariffs raise raw-hide costs, hurt leather vehicle tops and cushions, and favor foreign producers while meat industry profits stay concentrated. Also listed are unclaimed Rock Island post office letters for week ending March 6 1909, plus a notice to contractors for Ninth Street improvements with bid terms and bond requirements.
