Street Lighting.

According to the terms of the con-
tract Keakuk will not receive street
Fighting any cheaper than at the pres
emit time, but the service will be far
superior and NOR evil be received
for the money expended. The contract
provides for the establishment of an
all-night schedule, and the installation
OF the latest improved arc lamps, com
monty known as the magnetic. These
lamps have been put in in many cities
of the country and are positively the
best on the market at the present
time. The lights are Clio ampheres in
strength, this being much stronger
than the lights now used. According
10 the city's present contract the
street illumination is only furnished
on nights when it is not moonlight.
BY the new contract the lights will
burn every night and 1000 hours per
year. Keokuk is now paying $50 per
year for her street lights, and this fig
ure is not reduced any by the con-
tract, but the service will be practical
y doubled. The lighting in Keokuk
during, the past has been extremely
poor and Stone & Webster will pro-
vide service that is much superior.

Commission Favors it.

1t is believed that tie city commits
sion looks upon the proposition as
submitted in the contract for street
lighting with favor. However, before
the ordinances are passed changes
may be made. 1t is argued that Keo-
kuk has been paying fair price for
poor service in the past, and now that
far better proposition is presented
for the same money, it is not incon-
slstent that it should be accepted.
We are pleased to receive a pro-
posal OF this kind" said Mayor Elder

condition of the firm making it is such
