rectors of the Ottumwa-Iowa City In
terurban company and the interurban
committee of the Ottumwa CONNER
cial association. The meeting was held
in the Commercial association rooms
and was an enthusiastic one. On
Tuesday next, the directors and COM
mittee and every car owner and ev-
eryone interested in the project will
make an overland trip to Keota IN
automobiles, following as near
as possible the present sur
vey of the proposed interurban line
between Ottumwa and Iowa City. The
residents of Iowa City were the first
to plan such an event and they will
make journey in automobiles from
Iowa City to Keota. Here the Ottum-
wa and Iowa City parties will meet.
The citizens Of the enterprising little
Keokuk county village, Keota, are
making arrangements to entertain
their guests in royal style 1T will be a
gala day for keota. The people of Iowa
City are very enthusiastic over the
automobile run and it is expected that
at least thirty machines from that
place, loaded with passengers, will
make the trip. 1t will be a splendid op.
portunity for those who desire to see
the proposed route Of the new inter
urban line.
Committee is Appointed.
The matter was brought up at the
meeting yesterday following the dis
position of some informal business A
committee was appointed consisting
of r. P. Spilman, James E. Cullen and
Secretary John Weidenfeller, to ar.
range for the automobile run. The trip
will be an enjoyable one and every
car owner in the city is urged to pa,
ticipate. He can make up his own par.
ties, but the committee desires those
who are going to inform Secretary
Weidenfeller at the Commercial asso-
citation so it will be known how many
will make the trip.
While nothing special was transact
ed yesterday outside of the automobile
run, the meeting was an enthusiastic
one. While the project of building the
Ottumwa-Iowa City line is still in pro-
gress the interurban directors and the
members of the interurban committee
of the Commercial association are
more than pleased with the work as 1t
has progressed so far.
