ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
HAS BIG TAG DAY

Council Bluffs, Nov. 10.-The annual
tag day collection of the Council Bluffs
Associated Charities resulted in the
realization of $3.50 which will be divid-
ed equally between the creche and the
general work of the association.
Beginning at o'clock in the morn.
ing the forty-four ladies stationed on
the corners in all parts of the city, like
faithful patrolmen, tramped their
weary beats and solicited and tagged
all passersby who would give them an
audience and few there, were who did
not respond to their appeals.
The yellow tags bearing the words
81 am my brothers. keeper and a con.
tributor to the Associated Charities OF
Council Bluffs" were worn gladly dur
ing the day by hundreds of liberal
donors
Demands for aid are always greatest
with the onset of winter when fuel,
provisions and suitable clothing for the
season are drains beyond scanty in
comes.
The creche, which cares for the
greatest number of the association pro-
teges, will now be put in fair condi-
ton for the winters campaign, the
budget of which was already exhausted
and practically overdrawn. 1t was esti.
mated they would need $4,000 for all
purposes to enable them to accomplish
their mission. The balance will now
have to be secured in other ways The
ladies are loud in praise of the kind
anc courteous treatment accorded their
solicitors and are greatly pleased with
the results.

PLANS FOR
KEOKUK BRIDGE

Keokuk, Nov 10.-Plans for the re-
construction of the Keokuk and Ham
ilton bridge have been approved by
the war department. This informa-
ton was impaired to the city council
here today by Theodore Gilman, Sec
rotary of the bridge company, who ar
rived here this morning. Mr.. Gilman
held conference with the city coun-
Gil this afternoon at O'Clock.
Before approving the plans and spe-
cifcations, few changes were made
by the war department, all of them,
however, being of minor nature and
not materially affecting the original
plans that were submitted. With the
revised plans and specifications Mr..
Gilman this afternoon went over the
whole subject with the members of
the city council, explaining to them
just what changes had been made
since the last conferences held here
between Mr.. Gilman and the council.
There remains but one more string
Of red tape to be unWound before the
bridge company can start active work
on the bridge. The city council OF
Keokuk must give their approval to
the plans and adopt an ordinance giY-
ing the bridge company the right to
build their approach on the Iowa side.
This approach will be in the form OF
an overhead viaduct from the upper
deck of the bridge, crossing Water
street overhead. This viaduct will be
anchored in the block bounded by
Water. First, Main and Blondeau
streets. The Iowa end will rest on
an abutment near Blondeau street
The rest of the approach will be con.
structed over fill that will run from
this abutment to First street. This
part of the approach will curve slight.
ly toward Main street so that it will
ocme out on First street near the al
Hey between Main and Blondeau.
