Manager A. D. Ayers Of the Keo-
kuk Electric company, this morning
made an important announcement to
the effect that the appropriation,
asked by the local company for i'm
provements of the service here had
been granted by the Stone & Webster

ton was $4,000, but it is thought
that if the work can be done about
$4,000 more will be allowed for work
in Keokuk The $4,000 includes the
blanket appropriation.
In speaking Of the work to be done
in Keokuk this summer, Mr.. Ayers

Gas Imnro,YemenLtaL.

Among the many improvements wifi,
be number Of changes in the gas
department From five to six miles
OF new mains will be laid, none of
them being less than four inches in
diameter. These mains will be laid
wherever the service demands, but 1t
is thought that the southeastern por-
ton of the city will be the first to re-
ceive attention. The company has
lately advertised for persons wishing
the gas service to communicate with
them. A large number OF requests for
the service has been received from
the southeastern part of the city and
they will be accommodated as soon as
the material arrives.
| Besides the new mains, the entire
service will be oyerhauled in many
places, the old pipe being replaced
with larger ones. In this way the
company expects to build the service
up to the highest state of efficiency.
