WORTH DRAGGING OVER
] Acy city That Can Keep up With Keo.
kuk This season In Building
Line Is Certainly Going
Some.


A Quincy newspaper man who owns
1 small piece OF property in the best
part Of the city which he cannot find
tenant for, Is as mad as hornet
because The Gate City the other day
told of the many vacant houses in that
{ city, one Of the interesting sights of
the place for the excusionists, being a
tour around town on the street cars
counting the For Rent signs. The
Herald OF last evening wishes to gam.
bic that there are less vacant houses
iii Quincy than In Keoknk and also
1 that there are more new houses be-
ing built III Quincy than In Keokuk
1t having been several days since
The Gate City made the change and
knowing the gambling blood OF Quincy
50 well, it is evident that the Quincy
man is right, because he has possibly
\ made a house to house canvass Of
both cities before he offers to bet and
4 would not wager his money excepting
upon sure thing.
But leaving all Jokes aside, there are
large number of new residences go
ing up in Keokuk this season and a
great deal Of building going on Quin-
cy would no doubt be surprised to
hear OF the actual number Of new
dwellings being built in Keokuk and
It is not impossible at all that there
are more new houses going up in Keo-
kuk at the present time than there are
In Quincy, also one new church and
one new school house,
Quincy is challenged to show the
new church record Of Keokuk for two
years. We have four entirely new,

And
BAD LIGHT
TO INVESTIGATE
GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANIES
BUT NOT YET.

There was queer resolution intro
duced in the House this morning by
Representative Castro. 1t is to the
effect that, whereas there are public
complaints against the gas and cleo
trio companies of this city, that they
charge too much and don't give sat-
isfactory service, the Governor be au-
thorized to appoint commission of
three to investigate and make recon-
mendations with view to corrective
legislation.
But the joker in the resolution,
which is concurrent, comes toward
the end when it says this commission
shall report not later than December
81, 1910
The idea is that the commission
shall report in time for the Legisla-
/ ture to enact laws to make the gas
| the period allowed for unsatisfactory
| and electric companies behave, but
service is extended nearly two years
! from now, whereas a special commit
tee of the House might JUS. as well
investigate in a few days and the pre-
sent Legislature stiil has time to pass
a bill for remedy.
Further the commission is allowed
expenses, whereas a special commit
tee of the House would save all such
expenses.
The commission is to be entitled the
Commission on Public Utilities and,
although the resolution does not say
So might be taken to include inves-
tigation of other than gas and eIec-
trio companies.
