Surveyors at Work.

Surveyors today ara working at the
site of the proposed plant, making
surveys and borings to learn the ma
ture of the soil at this place Mr..
Priest and his assistants are figuring
on ths cost of building the new plant
and on whether or not it would be
practical for the company to do SO.
The local company has been work
ing for a number of years in an effort
to get a new gas plant for this city.
The officials of the company hope to-
be successful at this time in their
efforts. The old gas plant, located at
Seventeenth and Main streets, is being
worked to its full capacity at the
present time. The machinery in it is
for the most part out of date, and
the company will be required soon to-
either make improvements on the ole,
plant or to construct a new one. The
location Of the old plant is not salts
Factory, and the company does not
desire to make any improvements on
lit if it is possible to secure the new
plant in the near future.

To Cost About sec. 900.

The cost of constructing the new
plant would amount to between. s75,-
900 and 100000. The newest and best
type of machinery would be installed
if the plant is constructed. The new
plant would be built with much
greater capacity than the old one
has, and would be large enough to
furnish gas to a much bigger city
than Keokuk now is.
If the report made by Mr.. Priest
is favorable it is believed that The
