Keokuk, Iowa, April 1.-At the

between $4,000 and 10000 cubic
feet of water per second. At the
highest stage of food water, according
to statistics that have been gather ed
by the Keokuk & Hamilton Water
Power company, there has been a
flow of 375, 600 cubic feet of water per
second There is a recorded minimum
of $4,000 cubic feet. The average at a
very low stage Of water is from $4,000
to $4,000 cubic feet. The contract

With a minimum flow of 10000
cubic feet in the Mississippi the Keo-
kuk plant will be able to generate
200, 900 horse power of electrical en-

enable the company to easily produce
the requisite amount of power during
the very lowest stage of the river.
The dam that is above the founda-
ton and to the water will be built in
sections. so that the water will have
a passage way during the period OF
construction This can afford relief
should there be high stage while the
dam is building or during any portion
of the period.

for twenty-Six years and under the
new system he would receive $107 so.
But this seemed too large an amount,
evidently, for the town fathers re-
duced the chiefs salary to $50 per
month and then tackled on the $3.50
additional for his long years of service.
Under the new system Sergeant
Morrison, now getting $75 and having
served sixteen years, will get $3.50 !;
Roundsman Rolf, salary $3.50, served

Assistant Roundsman Hally, salary
$1,000, served twelve years, gets S75,
and SO on down the line except for the
younger members of the force who get
no advance. The police asked for a
raise in salaries owing to the increased
cost of living but the raise given them
by the town does not aid at least sew

the cost of the work. The chief is to
have supervision of all erections, alter

the plumbing which must be passed
upon by the board of health.
The usual tax ordinance was passed
and few bills ordered paid.
Mayor Ayers said the town should
