'. made that if the city feels like en-
forcing an expense on the property-
6. holders for street Improvement the

equal amount of municipal pride and
8 Improve the intersections. It is pre-
y sumed that the commissioners will

as soon as possible. Keokuk streets
&C are improving along with the rest of
the city. The intersections are a most
!. important part of the street.
