A Booster for Dos Moines Street.
To the Editor Of The Gate City:
Now that we are having so much
us first have safe and sane walks for
the children to walk to school on.
For three years the property own
ers along Des Moines street from
Nineteenth to Fifteenth have been
trying to get grade for cement
walk but the cry is always I'VE haven't
any money
Now 1t seems to me It would be
better, to invest a little money in CIV
ing the property owners the grade
rather than to let somebody first fall
and hurt themselves and then sue the
city for money which is generally paid
and nothing said about the expense.
We must remember that children
walk over these walks four times a
day and five days a week and most
of them in the bad as we'll as good
weather,
Another thing there is hardly day
passes that some one doesn't get on
the car and make the remark:
NheACy! ouSA VANS ~ 40 e
the people wouldn'. fix them"
Now, we would like the general
public to know that it is not the prop
erty owners fault that the people
haven't better walks to walk on.
am not in favor of tearing up
good walks to put down a cement one,
but when walk is past repair,
think that every property holder Is en-
titled to the grade so that he can put
in good walk in front of his prop
er.y.
So let us hope that the city com
missioners will see fit to give the
property owners along Fifteenth to
Nineteenth on Des Moines street,
the grade for cement walk.

EXCURsIoN1sTs PLAN
TO SEE KEoKUK DAM
Next Tuesday viii be Open Day Due
to Convention and Boats
Are Due.

public, and without the usual formal
ity of obtaining passes from the Of
Ace, anybody and everybody may go
through the works and see the inter-
nal construction and equipment Of
the power house and dam, privilege
not often permitted by the power
company.
Quincy who have not yet seen the
dam except at distance, than have
seen 1t and there doubtless will be
several hundred who will want to take
advantage of this opportunity. Appre-
ciating the advertising value of this

ing Of this week, the other Wisherd

From correspondence coming to this office,

the words of engineers and business men from all

kuk has wonderful reputation for doing things.
It is source of pride and encouragement to those
who are working in the interests of public vel

utation for being of the most substantially
active cities in the United States.
We cannot appreciate what this means until
we consider the bearing this reputation has up
on the future of the city. It is a thing to be
proud of and live up to.
When things seem dscouraging it would be
good idea to think of the respect and financial

quarters 1t makes the future look brighter.
