WATER WORKS
INVENTORY
One Has Been Placed In the Hands Of
City Commission and Is Be
Ing Checked
EXPECT APPRAISERS
Conference Between H. w. Green and
City Commission VIII be Held
Before February 8
Meeting.
APPRAISERS

An inventory furnished by the
Keokuk Water Works company is
now being checked over by the COM
missioners preparatory to the coming
of the board of appraisers who will
appraise the property before the
question Of municipal ownership is
submitted to the people in the spring
election.
Mayor j. F. Elder stated today that
he expects the appraisers within the
next month and thinks the work will
be completed in plenty of time for the
people to understand the question for
an intelligent vote in the matter. One
of the important things, it is believed,
is what the plant Is worth and this
the appraisers will determine. The
inventory which the commissioners
are now going over will serve to facil-
itate matters for the appraisers when
they come.
Few expressions have been receiv-
ed on the proposition Of owning the
local water works system. Many point
out that the plant as it now stands is
old fashioned and worth comparatively
little.
