WATER WORKS
OWNERSHIP
City Council In Resolution Passed To-
day Modifies Question Which
VIII be Submitted
to Voters.
TIME NOT YET RIPE
Wants Only Expression Of People on
Ownership and Does Not Fa-
vor Bond Issue at
This Time.
TIME NOT YET RIPE

The simple question of municipal
ownership of water works merely for
the purpose of securing from the peo-
pie their sentiment on such PROPOSE
ton will be submitted to the voters
of Keokuk at the spring election on
March %.
This announcement was made by
the city council today. A resolution
was passed in which the mayor was
authorized to cancel the question
Shall the city of Keokuk erect it's
own water works plant at a cost not
Ito exceed $4,000. and issue bonds
therefore," and substitute for the
same question: Shall the city of
Keokuk own its own water works
rlant?" The latter one will be placed
on the ballot for an expression of the
people.
Mayor J. i Elder. In an Interview
today, declared that the time was not
ripe for keokuk to take up the matter
of issuing bonds for a new water
works plant. He said
Under the citys present contract
with the Keokul1 Water Works com
lpany we must use water for city pur
poses for a period of more than five
years at cost of something over 500
monthly. 1t would be foolish for the
lefty to consider erecting new plant
with such contract existing. How
ever, the city council does think tina
there should be an expression of The
people for future benefit of the coun
ell. The question is one of considera
lble moment and before it can be han
died properly must be given nIucl
study and discussion
The resolution follows:
| Whereas, in the judgment of TIL
city council, it is not wise at thi
time to ask the citizens to vote upol
bond issue for the purpose of build
ing a new water works, and that thi
is a question so momentuous that
should be thoroughly discussed an
talked over and more additional il
formation secured before asking tn
citizens to act upon same; therefor
