New Organization is Being Formed In
Boston Which VIII do Away With
Small Companies In keo-
kuk and Hamilton.
TRAwICK INTERVIEWED
Stone and Webster Man Tells Gate
City Something of the Situation
Regarding the Property
Here.

About half dozen small companies
which have controlled and operated
the public utility plants in Keokul
and Hamilton for number of years
past will pass into history within the
next six weeks to be succeeded by
single large company which is now
being organized, according to j. A.
Trawick of Stone and Webster, who
has returned to Keokuk after two
weeks business visit in Boston.
To Gate City reporter today Mr..
Trawick told in general way of the
organization which is to be formed
and gave an estimate of the time by
which Keokuk and Hamilton may ex-
pect to see the much heralded re-
construction of the public utility
plants which were recently taken ov-
er under franchises from the two
towns.
1T will be month or more before
the new company is formed said
Mr.. Trawick / have been in the
east for two weeks going over the
situation with engineers and depart
ment heads and the work of forming
it is now going on. By the new or
ganization the small subsidiary COM
panies now existing will be done
away with and we will have a com
pany of such legal status that bonds
can be issued and money raised for
the reconstruction work. This action
comedies with the general working
plan of Stone and Webster in dealing
with new propositions of this charac.
ter. Before physical improvements
can be made it is necessary to get a
proper organization to take care OF
the legal phase of the work. The com
/ pany | speak of will control all of the
plants in Keokuk and Hamilton
While | do not want to promise
anything it is reasonable to believe
that the street lights will be in b!
or before the first of January. NJ
steps can be taken before the new
company is formed and money raised
after which it will be necessary t.
order materials, SO you see it will be
difficult to promise the lights mucf
earlier.
However, at the same time oul
reconstruction work and the building
of a new car barn and possibly the
ordering of a few new cars will be
going on. cannot tell you of an,
extensions to the street car system
that will be made Immediately, be
cause our first work will be to pu
the old tracks into good shape"

PUBLIC LIBRARY
TO BE IMPROVED
Trustees at Meeting Held Last Even
Ing Decide to Make Several
Needed Improvements.

Necessary repairs to the building
occupied the attention of the public
library trustees at the meeting of the
board last night.
1t was decided to place an orna-
mental sheet steel ceiling in the read
ing room instead of the plaster cell
ing which is falling by sections. The
contract for this work was awarded
on competitive bids to the Settler
Cherry company for $3.50.
The wood, iron and other trimmings
on the outside Of the building are to
be painted, the lowest bidder for the
work being C. A. Rice at s112.60.
The question of painting the brick
walls of the building outside elected
considerable discussion. Finally it
was left to special committee which
met this morning and after full de
tailed consideration decided not to
paint the walls.
The librarians report showed 1854
books issued during the months OF
July and August, an increase of near.
~ three per cent over tne same
months last year.
Some new and latest photographs
of the progress of the dam construc
ton have been placed in the reading
room exhibit which enables anybody
to keep up to date on the building OF
the dam even better than by visiting
the actual works in the river. This is
by the courtesy of the water power
company, and the exhibit case is in
the center of the reading room.
