Follow Plan in Future.

Mr.. Nolan is now preparing a de-
tailed report to make to the Keokuk
Industrial Association. From that
time on, II Keokuk decides to follow
Mr.. Nolan's suggestions. the matter
will be thoroughly explained to the
city commission and 1t will be within
their province to follow it. For in,
stance, If someone desires to add a
new addition to the city of Keokuk.
the city commission will require that
certain streets, as provided in Mr..
Nolan's plan, be made and that the
addition in other ways be made 70
conform with the plan.
Also In future street improvement
work the city will follow the plan.
The Keokuk Industrial Association
regards this plan of paving the way
for Keokuk to do things along scien.
tific lines in the city's upbuilding, one
OF the most important matters it has
taken up during the past two years.
The plan if followed, means that Keo.
kuk, in future development and
growth, will move along the right
lines, and not find, when 1t has So,
600 population, that million dollars
has been lost by doing things in the
wrong way.
Nolan's plan means no haphazard
expansion, but expansion in direc.

the city in after years.
