Answering a thousand questions a day is a mere matter of detail t-j this woman behind the scenes. Callers on "Hizzoner" who seek to hold a drive, to have a proclamation issued, to get the city to right their wiongs are first received by this unassuming official. She asks a question or two herself to learn the importance of the visitor's errand and. if the caller is successful in presenting his case, she makes a brief ot it. so to speak, for the information of the Mayor.

After the custom of mayor's secretaries, also, she can write a proclamation or two herself.

Boy, 16, Admits to Police He Is One Who Terrorized Women, Girls in West End ROAD PAVING Highway Commission Not Ready to Give City Aid This Season. Requests of the city made to the state highway commission by. the city and by members of the good roads committee of the Chamber of Commerce have thus far failed to convince the highway commission that Davenport should receive state aid in building a mile of paving on Brady street road at the city limits.

A representative of the engineering department of the commission conferred with Harry W. Phillips, superintendent of public construction, here Monday. He intimated that the city would not receive state aid in building the mile ot paving this season and possibly not for two years because Scott county is receiving a refund and there are being constructed several miles of paving within the county this The city wants some arrangement made whereby the Brady street approach may bo replaced with new and wider paving. An offer has been made by city representatives to the state highway commission whereby the commis sion might become in the position ot a property owner and arrange to pay assesmenfs over a period ol 10 years much in the manner a property owner docs when pavement is constructed adjoining his property. This oner has heen Any arrangement with the highway commission whereby the mile lying between Thirty-second street and the city limits may be paved is to be agreeable to the city, Mr.
