OUTSIDE VIEW OF
DAM CELEBRATION
Burlington Commercial Exchange Be-
lieves keokuk Should Bear All
Expense and Not Zone.

The following is from Mondays
Burlington Gazette:
The matter of the celebration Of
the opening OF the big power dam Mt
Keokuk next August was brought up
at today's meeting of the Commercial
Exchange. and although the local
commercial body thinks well OF the
general plan, they think that city goes
too far in wanting the various power
zone cities to pay big share toward
the celebration itself, aside from
bearing all the expense OF their own
activities in the big event.
1T is only right that each city char
ter boats, ETC., for the purpose OF par
ticipating in the event, but 1t is the
opinion of all the cities aside from
Keokuk that their duties should cease
with that.
This being the prevailing opinion,
the matter was referred to the execu-
tive committee upon motion of one Of
the members. Keokuk is to have the
benefit of the vast crowds that win
assemble at the big event and there
is no reason why they should not care
for the local end Of the arrangement.
Whenever a big convention or any
other sort of gathering takes place
the scene of the same cares for the
arrangement, and Keokuk, it seems,
should do so In this case. The big
crowds that will be drawn there by
the opening Of the big dam viii sure
ly make up for any expenditure In
volved. All parties are, or should be,
willing to do their respectice shares.
This all came about when Mr.. Geo.
Swiler read the result Of the meet
ing Thursday when nearly hundred
men, representatives from the power
zone cities and towns, met to hear the
report of the executive committee APP
pointed some months ago At the con-
clusion OF his report Mr. Swiler stat
ed that the financial proposal which
suggested the Issuing OF certificates
through the zone was the only por-
ton of the plan not approved. Mr.
Swiler explained that all the visitors
we're opposed to contributing to a
fund for caring for the crowds when
they had reached the scene Of the
event, but that all were willing to
see that they got there.
'Mr. Swiler also spoke OF the re-
gatta, and of the proposal that the
other cities contribute toward the
holding of it in Keokuk. One mem
her suggested that the event be held
here If Burlington was to render aid
to 1t. After this matter had been
spoken of briefly 1t was suggested
that Burlington should not make an
attempt unless 1t were impossible for
Keokuk to handle It. 1t was finally
referred to the retail committee and
the board of directors, upon motion
and amendment.
''The report of Mr.. Swiler told of
the whole plan outlined by the execu-
tive committee at Keokuk and like
the Burlingtonians who were at the
dam city. the rest of the exchange
members thought we'll of the plans
suggested, in general.
THE regatta will be good thing
for some city in the valley. Twelve

the trip immensely and was surprised
at the many changes that had taken
place since he was there last, seven
years ago. Two years ags Sam started
on trip to the old country but only
got as far as New York where he was
relieved OF his bank roll by a light
fingered gentleman. Following this
annoying experience he returned to
Leavenworth and postponed the trip
for two years. He expects to return
to his former occupation OF pulling
trains over the mountains in a short
time.
