That Mrs. Cordelia Galloway would

remark of one of the men who served
on the jury. He declared that he

take 1t into consideration of course
but the case did not hinge on this ties

SEVERAL ARE FEASIBLE

No definite conclusion as to the
manner of marking the streets OF
Keokuk has been reached by the
committee on streets and alleys of
the keokuk Industrial Association of
which M. F. Baker is chairman. The
committee was to have met yesterday
to decide finally on the proposition
but all of the members did not at
tend
There are several propositions for
street marking being considered by
the committee. The one most favor
ed is that of putting the signs on the
poles on the corner Of the streets.
This is done on practically all of the
streets already and 1t will be easy to
find a pole which Is at the street
corner, it is believed. Uniform signs
with the names of the streets Will be
secured and nailed to the corner posts
liz this method is adopted.
/ Another method which is favored,
especially in the down town district
and where there are cement walks Is
1
| to have the sign bearing the name OF
the street embedded in the concrete,
This plan is in vogue in many cities
/ Another method considered was
that of putting street signs on cross
ing aprons, wherever this is practical
This morning another way of put
tign signs along the street was sug
/ gested. This is to have the names
of the street and the cross street
painted in block letters on the globes
of the street lamps. The letters
would not be of such size as to OBJ
scure the light In any way.

the names of the streets at only ever.

this might not prove a handicap t.
