Great Public Benefit Built
by the Waterpower Com
pany Which Attracts
Much Worldwide
Attention.

Not for a long time has there been
such unanimity Of spirit in Keokuk
as developed on the first day OF the
new year over the magnificent, new
lake shore drive that the Water Pow
er company is building from Keokuk
to Montrose.
Fifty-one automobiles made the
drive over the route, and over two
hundred people viewed the new boule.
ward, most of them for the first time
Every one of them came home
warmly enthusiastic over the charms
of the new r and appreciative OF
the service the Water Power company
is doing the public by building such q
costly and beautiful drive along the
lake, when fits only obligation could
not exceed replacing shorter stretch
OF the old, muddy, rough road, impas-
sible for weeks every year and never
in good condition.
For the Good Of the public.
That in place of that old road which
has been mathematical by everybody
who used 1t for years, the Water
Power company should go so far be
yond what anybody expected and con.
struct great boulevard with huge
fills, great cuts in the face of the
bluff, excellent engineering, and at.
tentfon to detail which makes the
present lake shore drive-this pre-
sentation of such road to the peo-
pie seemed to delight IS well as sur
prise everybody who went over the
partially completed road on New
Years day.
The road is now only the bare
grade, like a railroad empankment be
fore the ballast, ties and rails are
put on. But several people who are
familiar with the old road said on
the trip that the present road is from
three to ten times as good now as he
old road ever was And having al
ready made a road several times al
good as the one to be drowned in
places, the Water Power company
proposes to go on and put goot
macadam top on the new drive ant
make 1t a real boulevard.
Attracts Wide Attention.
