PUBLIC SERVICE IN IOWA
Municipal Water Works Systems Are Pop
ular in the Hawksys State.
ONLY TWENTY-FIVE PRIVATE PLANTS
Two Hundred and Fifty-TwO cities
own water supply-statistics of
Gas and Electric Light
supply

DIES MONIES, oct. i.-(Special )-Muni-
cipal water works systems are popular in
Iowa and municipal gas and electric light
plants are correspondingly unpopular &C
cording to figures and information given
out from the census department. There are
twenty-five water works systems owned by
private companies and 252 that are owned
by the cities. OF the gas and electric light
plants there are twenty-nine gas plants
and thirty-seven electric light plants owned
by the cities and sixty-seven gas and 127
electric light plants owned by private cor
porations. The rates on water are shown
to be quite near the same general level
but the gas rates vary widely. Atlantic
pays the highest gas rate in the state
paying $3.50 per thousand feet The next
lowest is paid by sibley, Preston Marcus
and Dallas Center all OF which pay $500
per thousand feet The Marcus plant is
owned by the city but all the others are
owned by private companies. The only
cities in the state getting gas at 800 per
thousand feet are Burlington. Clinton,
Dubuque, Graettinger and Jesup. Burling-
ton is the only town in the state where
there is competition. There two private
gas companies supply the city.
Koch RevOkes Contracts.
Grand Foreman Koch Of the Brotherhood
OF American Yoeman has revoked the
contracts with Gossage and Rutledge made
by the late Grand Foreman Paul and which
Paul denied having made. The contracts
were for a division OF territory for the
purpose Of soliciting members for the order
and are alleged by the anti-Paul faction
of the order to have been too favorable to
the solicitors. In reconvening the conclave
in special session the same delegates will
be in attendance that were here at the
regular conclave. The purpose being to
select delegates in the legal manner to
the national meeting at Colorado Springs
1t is claimed that the conclave had no
authority to allow Paul to name his own
delegates
