Here motion was made b. Cap

To Draw up New Lease.
Alderman Hickey suggested that the
club members, to be on the safe SIDE,
had best draw up new lease and
present it to the city council for sign
ing. There are to be two more reg
ular meetings of the present council,
and it was decided by the motor boat
men last night to act before the IN
coming of the new council, so that a
firmer footing might be established
for them. With the support of the
present council, this could be as
fsured.
A motion was made by w. s. Phil
J lips that a committee of three be ap
pointed by the chair to confer will
the mayor, the chairman of the whar
committee, the city engineer and thu
city attorney, and draw up lease TO
so much of the upper end OF thu
levee as possible, leasing same to thu
Motor Boat Club. Said portion OF thu
levee to be reserved, subject to com
mercial necessities of the city, for
yacht harbor, for the Keokuk Motto
Boat club.
This motion was seconded and al
proved by all present and on tomol
row afternoon at four o'clock, Their
will be a meeting in the city Offices
, of the city officials, FAMED in MI

could lease except from Johnson TO
Blondeau street, on account of abut-
ting owners occupying the ground.
1t is always customary for the out
going city council to suggest to their
successors how money for the fiscal
year beginning, could best be spent,
and the club members have the assur-
ance that the present outgoing coun-
Gil Of next month will suggest to the
incoming commissioners that an APP
preparation and lease be granted the
motor boat owners, with the assur-
ance that the thousand dollars and any
additional appropriations, be spent on
/ the improvement of the river front.

Some Good Suggestions.

In cities like st. Louis, Red Wing,
Mimi, and Ohio river towns, 1t has
been found that granite blocks make
the best river front paving, on account
of their durability Alderman Hickey
suggested that with a strong financial
backing, the club, could have one OF
the finest river fronts in the west. The
entire river front of the more travelled
portions could be paved at cost OF
about sixteen thousand dollars. With
the thousand dollar appropriation OF
the council running wall, two hund-
red feet in length and about four and
half feet high could be placed in
for the club. This could be filed in
behind with earth topped with paving,
and the clubs landing or park, would
be high and dry from rising spring
waters The incoming commissioners
next month will act concertedly with
the members of the club and 1t is up
to the club to set busy.

$3.50 a Year Granted.

Alderman Kiefer, in speaking to the
meeting said that after the meeting of
the Motor Boat club last summer, he
had asked the city council for an ap
preparation of $3.50 year, for river
front Improvements, instead of the
regular forty or fifty dollars which was
allowed for that purpose. The $3.50
appropriation was passed, but since
that time, the club has taken no action
to assist in the work The city coun-
Gil is aat any time ready to act in con-
junction with the club members and
some action should be taken by the
motor boat men to stimulate interest
in the club and the improvement OF
the river front. The men of the com
ing administration will be with the
launch owners if they will but act, was
the assurance of Alderman Kiefer.

An enthusiastic Meeting.

The largest number of interested
launch and motor boat owners in the
r.story Of the keokuk Motor Boat club
which was organized several years
ago, were present at the called meet

To Solicit Funds.

w. S. Phillips suggested that Keo
kuk club members do as other cities
with motor boat clubs had done, lie
solicit funds from the city's business
men, and it is possible. that five hun
bred dollars or more could be raised
in this manner. With another possible
appropriation of thousand dollars to
accompany the former appropriation
of the same amount, cou- led with the
clubs fund, a GOOD showing could be
made.

Fifty Members of the Club.

Major Meigs suggested that club
of fifty members or more be formed,
the fifty to represent the active boat
owners of the organization. This
brought up the question chow are fifty
boat owners to occupy q space of two
hundred feet river front?' City En-
gineer Robertson stated that there
were three hundred available feet of
the river front which would possibly
be granted the club, if the figures in
the present petition were made to
read three hundred feet instead OF
! two hundred

Council Has Acted tremendously.
City Attorney Marshall said that on
August so, 1908, petition was pre-.
scented to the city council by the Keo-
kuk Motor Boat club, asking for
grant of two hundred feet on the river
front. The land was granted through
lease to the members OF the boat or
ganization with the understanding that
the club keep it in repair. Since
the time of the granting of the tract
of river frontage. however. there have
4 been no substantial repairs made by
the motor boat club and during the
past wear. there have been only forty
dollars spent by the city on river front
improvements Mr.. Marshall spoke OF
the present disgraceful condition OF
the levee, especially in that portion
where the clubs boat houses are sta
toned Under the commission form
of government. which will be in vogue
next month Mr. Marshall stated that /
would probably be harder to Obtain
8 longer lease on the river front occu
pied by the boat club 1t was suggest
ed by him that at the meeting of tn
council, the first Monday in April, tina
a description and plans of the groun
wanted by the club be presented t
that body and the council will no douh
be glad to help the motor men along
by signing the lease, which could b
prepared. II is the understanding @
Mr.. Marshall that a lease can not b
made for more than one year unde

present time, the city has no land

That the Keokuk Motor Boat club

was shown at the meeting last night.
Members of the council, Alderman 7.

fer, were present at the meeting, and
City Attorney A. T. Marshall and City
Engineer Ross Robertson were pres

NEW TOWNSEND OPEN.
Is the Newest Modern Hotel in This
Resort.

Resort.
The New Townsend Hotel, located
on the corner Of Chapel and Court
strets, formally opens this morning.
The opening is very suspicious, Mr..
Townsend being compelled to accom-
modate number of CUES several
days before the opening, and large
number of rooms being engaged n.
advance of the opening.
The New Townsend is Hot Springs
newest hotel and has all the appoint
ments OF first class hosiery. 1t Is
three story brick with basement,
and is an imposing structure, accupy-
ing nearly half a@block 1t has all
the conveniences and comforts Of a
modern hotel, being equipped with
steam heat, hot and cold water in all
rooms, electric and gas fixtures and a
call bell system. The hotel lobby and
main entrance, which is located in the
southwest part of the building, Is fl.
ted up in a modern manner
There are spacious eight foot halls
on all floors, carpeted with green AK
minister velvet rugs, the color scheme
of deep green being followed closely
in the interior decorations.
The furnishings OF the New Town
send are in keeping with its other
handsome appointments, and though.
out the hotel a prevailing sense CT
comfort and elegance follows an IN.
spection.
The dining room and cafe will be
in charge Of Mr.. NJ c. Parker, lately
CT Milwaukee, an experienced caterer,
who has leased this part Of tie hotel
and will serve regular meals rs well
as meals la carte.
One important feature is the New
