Have Ordered the Cutting Through
of Both Ninth and Sixth Streets

Beautiful Views.

Protest.

The commissioners have decided to
cut through to the river from Grand
Avenue both Ninth and Sixth streets,
adding strength to the title of "City
Beautiful as applied to Keokuk, for
1t will give sightseers two more van
tage points from which the grandeur
of the Father of Waters" can be ad-
mired. BY through to the river is
meant to the top of the bluff about
200 feet from Grand Avenue.
1t is likely that there will be pro-
tests from abutting property owners,
but surely they can have little griev.
ance, for the streets should have been
there years ago. 1t has been utilized
by them however, for pretty lawn
which will have to be rudely cut into
The two streets will be made into
pretty driveways. strictly in harmony
with the we'll kept lawns on both
sides.
Since coming into office the com
missioners have received many re
quests lHaI tnlS WORK De zone. III is
pointed out by those interested In the
beauty of keokuk that these improve
ments will be well worth the while
especially when strangers are in the
city. There are but few places at the
present time where good view Of
the river can be obtained. One is al
the east end of Orleans street; the
other from Rand Park. This leaves G
long stretch of river and Illinois
scenery which cannot we'll be seer
unless there is an intrusion on what
appears to be private property.
The action of the commissioners ir
this matter will doubtlessly be vel
received.

Among the soloists who assisted in
the first presentation of Handlers

the famous Chicago basso singer,

Requests are numerous, that THE

repeated.
That occasion-"The Messiah's"
presentation in the Congregational
church here by a large and splendid
chorus was remarked to be the mas

functions ever given In Keokuk and
it is with the desire to again bring
before the public this wonderful pres
entation that preliminary steps are
being made to secure a chorus of sew
enty-f1ye or hundred voices for an
evening some time during the pres
ent autumn, or the coming winter
months.

tation, are again to begin active prep
arations for the repetition of the
musical piece of extraordinary power
and of interest to every music lover
in this and neighboring cities.

The board OF county commission
ers for this county met last weel
for the purpose of determining anC
fixing the county levy for the cur

two dollars and seventy-fiye cent:
per hundred, a slight increase over
last year, when the amount was two
dollars and sixty-six.

follows:
State tax, II.
Current expenses, 10.
Bridge fund, ,.

The increase was made necessary
from the fact that a lower valua-
ton was placed on the county as

to the fact that all Carey land in
the county has been withdrawn from
assessment and the valuation on
sheep has been lowered. making a
