sued by President c. R. Joy of the
Keokuk Industrial Association:
Keokuk, Ia, Nov. Z, 1912.
All Members:
The Industrial Association has very
recently appointed some important
committees whose duty 1t will be to
look into many questions which have
been at least partially neglected.
A committee on building laws and
housing, OF which Mr.. VIM. j. Fulton
is chairman, has big problem to
solve. The proper housing Of men
and women working in shop or fac
tory is now generally recognized as
having an important bearing on their
efficiency in their daily work and
money spent by the community in So
curing to all workmen a comfortable
and sanitary home is good invest
ment.
Everyone in the city should have a
deep interest In the WORK of Mr.. VIM.
Ballinger's committee on parks, play
grounds and general improvements.
1t is expected that an announcement
will be made within a day or two OF
the employment of Mr.. John Nolen, a
noted city planner, to make a COM
prehensive plan for the future growth
of the city. Experience in other
cities has shown that well laid plan
for the development of the residence
section of a city where the land to
be developed ia not level, means the
saving of thousands Of dollars to the
city in later years.
Major Meig's committee on public
health and DR.. Devices committee on
schools and education have a work
to do which will interest every man.
