VIII Install New Equipment.

The electric company here has or
dered seven new mercury arc rsctifiers
which will replace the brush arc ma
chimes that transform the alternating
current to the direct current Only
FIVE of them are needed to do the
work, the other two will be reserved
for cases of emergency. These recti-
fers increase the capacity OF the
plant and are much mere reliable
than the old style brush machines.
They viii insure better service for
the city
Plans and cost estimates have been
submitted by the Keokuk Electric
company to the Warsaw city council
FOR a new white way for that city.
Three different plans were submitted
to the Warsaw council, the Keokuk
Electric company agreeing to pay che
third of the cost for any OF the three
plans that might be installed provided
the telephone and telegraph wires be
placed on the electric company's
poles or placed underground. This
provision was made for the purpose
Of cleaning up the ugly display OF
wires from the main strest, Of the
city. The council appointed a com
mittee to take. up negqtiat 'ons with
the telephone and telegraph com
panies and to make the necessary in
vestigatfon Warsaw citizens seem
much in favor of the new proposed
White way and it is probable that one
OF the three plans submitted will be
adopted.
