actual work of construction will com
mence as soon as everything is in
shape to proceed
The transmission line to carry the
power generated by the keokuk dam
has been surveyed and will run from
Fl. Madison to West Burlington on as
near an air line as will be possible
The interurban project can be carried
thru easily. The line will tap a point
just east of West Burlington and the
cars would enter Burlington over the
tracks OF the Peoples Gas and Electric
Company. providing the necessary
traffic arrangements could be made.
An interurban between FIT. Madison
and Burlington has been a dream of
Burlington business men for years
The route as projected by the Stone &
Webster Company is rich one in ev-
cry respect. tapping some of the best
farming country in southeastern Iowa.

further obstacle in the way of pushing

ordered for this line and the options

practically completed.
