Metropolis Have to say Of the
Water Power Pros
poets.
THE NORTH AMERICAN

Company is Owned by the
Other Company That
Is There.

St. Louis newspapers of Saturday
evening and Sunday morning devoted
considerable space to the water power
news given in The Gate City Sunday
morning, regarding the contracts fol
power from the Keokuk dam. AS Q
sample OF the publicity given the
matter, the following items are clipped
from the st. Louis Star:
The st. Louis Star of Sunday said:
With the advent in the electric
lighting BUSINESS of the Laclede Gas
Light Company, as told in the Star
Saturday, the st. Louis public will ex
pect cheaper rates for electric lighting
service, as is believed that the com.
petition will be keen.
The Laclede Gas Company, it was
learned Saturday, has contract with
the Mississippi River Power DISTRIBUTE
ing Company of Keokuk, Ia, owned
by the North American Company and
BY the provisions of the agreement
will get its power at the same rate
charged by the North American Com
pany to It's subsidiary company, the
Union Electric, the former being
forced to sell power to it's competitor
in the local field, because OF the con-
tract made prior to the sale of the
majority of the. clede's stock by the
North American to st. Louis capital
lists.

which owns all of the stock OF the

miles north OF st. Louis.
1t developed Saturday that the Las
clede Gas Light Company under its
new management expects to have Its
general depository at the st. Louis
Union Trust Company, and this has
led the public to believe that Thomas
H. West. chairman of the board of
the st. Louis Union Trust Company,
will be chosen president Of the La
clede Company at Special meeting to
be held soon, w. K. Bixby. to whom
the Office was rendered, having de-

of the North American Company that

West Richmond People will

They Want a Good Sub

Much to the surprise of those on the
"outside" the board of public works
last evening presented a report to
council in which it recommended the
immediate erection of hose house on
the lot recently purchased in West
Richmond. But the board would have
the city build a house not to exceed
in cost $4,000 And council concurred
in the report. This action will meet
with general dissatisfaction among
residents of the west side, who believe
their section of the city deserves the
same consideration in the way OF
hos house as other parts of the city
have received.
Amount Too Small.
The sum to be expended is not suffi-
cient to build a large modern frame
