Employe Of keokuk and Hamilton Water Power
Company Says There is Nothing to Warrant
a Lock 10 Feet in Width
WOULD COST A MILLION DOLLARS MORE
But Water Power Company Would Not Have to
Stand the Expense A Decision in Matter
Will be Reached About Monday

The hearing conducted by the Unit
ed States army board of engineers foi
rivers and harbors yesterday morning
in st. Louis was favorable in every
way to the water power company, and
it is my opinion that there will be
no increase In the width of the lock.
1t was stated that decision in the
matter would probably be reached
Monday"
This statement was made today by
L. H. G. Bouscaren Of the Keokuk and
Hamilton Water Power Company, who
was present at tile st. Louis gather
ing. Continuing he said:
1T will be remembered that four
wears ago the board Of engineers met
and decided that a lock ninety-fiye
feet wide would be sufficient. A
study of river traffic since that meet
ing has been made and shows that
instead of increasing, it has been on
the decrease.
However, Chief Engineer Cooper
is perfectly willing to build a bigger
lock If such is found necessary. Any
increase will be at the governments
expense, as he has contract for the
ninety-fve foot lock. 1t was admitted
on all sides at the hearing that any
addition width should be paid for by
the government
We're the lock to be made lie feet
in width it would be the equal of that
at Panama, but with much greater
lift The expense would be about one
million dollars more than the So foot
lock which the water power company
has plans for, all except the gate.
Major Meigs was the technical ex-
pert on the job and answered many
questions as to local conditions, with
which he is perfectly familiar
In addition to Mr. Bouscaren, Major
N. Meigs has returned home, Judge
VIM. Logan is expected this evening,
while Secretary-treasurer J. P. Allen
