just completed replace lateral canal.
three locks, and a dry dock built and
heretofore maintained solely at the
expense of the United States. Dur
ing the period of construction and
reorganization of a work involving
Joint operations so closely interrelat-
ed as those in question, 1t was only
natural that there should be certain
expenses which would not be readily
charged to the proper party.
For instance, a building belonging
to the power company and temper
arily occupied by the government has
been lighted by current furnished by
the Keokuk Electric company and
paid for by the United States. 1t
may be that this small bill amounting
on September 26, 1913, to $22.63), was
made the basis of the rumors report
ed to you 1t is proposed, however.
that steps shall be taken to have the
company furnish the lighting for this
building and reimburse the govern
ment for the payments heretofore
made for this purpose. On the other
hand, certain expenses have been met
by the power company which are re-
garded as properly chargeable to the
United States. These minor discrep-
ancies are held to be unavoidable,
and 1t is expected that all OF them
will be adjusted as soon as possible,
and strictly In accordance with the
spirit OF the law providing for this
work of joint ownership and control
BY the general government and
private corporation.
While not called for by your request,
1t may not be amiss to invite atten-
ton to the fact that the estimated

average cost for the past eleven years

$4,000 per year. Very respectfully,

CHECK OVER REPORTS
official Has Charge OF Examiners
and Goes Over Recent Re-
ports With County
Officials.

The story recently printed in the
Burlington Hawk-Bye to the effect
that women could not serve as depu-
ties in county Offices was vigorously
denied by ]. A Wall, a deputy in the
state auditors Office who was In Keo-
kuk today.
'.The deputy does not have to be
an elector," said Mr. Wall this morn
ing. THE story which the Hawk-Eye
printed is causing all kinds of worry
among the omen deputies IN the
Offices | have visited. But there Is
no cause for this agitation The
courts have held that the deputy can
be any person. and that the deputy
does not have to be an elector. There
fore. the deputies can be women. The
only Office which the code recognizes
for woman is that of recorder, but
there is nothing in the code to war
rant the statement that women can
not serve as deputies in the office OF
clerk, treasurer and recorder and
auditor"
Mr.. Wall came to Keokuk from
Fort Madison this morning. He has
direct charge of the examining OF
county books, and while here went
over briefly some OF the statements
made in the reports of the two exam
iners.
Mr.. Wall also spoke of the uues.
ton az to whether clerk Is entitled
to keep the two dollars and hall
from the naturalization fee or wheth
er 1t will go to the county. Some
courts have held that the clerk is
working for the government in such
case, and not the county. and that he
is entitled to add the $3.50 to his owr
pocket. The case is now In the Unit
ed State supreme court and the de
cision will quiet the discussion from
now on. Mr. Wall said:
The naturalization fee is S.. One
half of this goes to the government
It is the other half that is in dispute
This will be decided by the suprem
court for all time. II the money |
allowed the clerks 1t will mean som
handy pin-money.
Mr.. Wall made a trip to the dar
during his short stay In the city. H
was scheduled to leave this after
noon.

statements reported to you, that the
government is being required to pay
the Mississippi River Power company
for electrical power used In operat-

for report. Incident to change OF

some delay in obtaining the desired
information.
From the report received 1t appears
that the lock Is operated by com
