	In 1855 Mobley proposed that the 7th Street extension should be filled in and the sloughs should be bridged with double track bridges within fifteen months. In addition a levee 320 feet long and sixty-four feet wide should be constructed. This would be done by the [[DUBUQUE HARBOR IMPROVEMENT COMPANY]], an organization of which he was a member. Other prominent business people included James Ogilby, [[WILSON, Thomas S.\|Thomas S.

In payment the company would receive a strip of land, one block wide out to the river on one side of the extended 7th Street. Blocks would be 206 feet deep. Payment was to be made when the work was half done. When finished, the company had the right to use the dredge boat for three years. This was accepted by the city council.

	A rumor against [[M. MOBLEY'S EXCHANGE AND BANKING HOUSE]] caused a heavy run there by depositors on September 11, 1857 and by the German and Irish population which held his certificates of deposit. Observing this run, a notice was promptly issued by forty of the best business concerns and wealthiest citizens of the city pledging themselves to sustain "his entire ability to redeem any promise or other pecuniary liability at call." The men thus voluntarily backing Mr. Mobley were worth nearly $4,000,000. Mobley's bank suspended operations and closed its doors early in December, 1857. He issued a card in which he stated that his assets to the amount of over $100,000 over all liabilities would be turned over to his creditors if they so desired. He would keep back nothing except enough to feed and clothe his family. He said that all creditors would be paid in full.		A rumor against [[M.
