J.FD. Hill, ofIowa City, Awarded Con.
tract to Prepare Plans and Spec
ifications and Superintend Work
RETAIN PRESENT EMPLOYEES
City Hall Being RemodeIcd to Accom-.
modate Moving Of the Electric
Light Office to That Place

The city council is getting its first
taste Of municipal ownership. having
been wrestling with the proposition
for the past two weeks, necessitating
the holding Of nightly IL o'clock meet
ings. AS stated In the last issue an
agreement was reached between the
city and the electric light company and
the city took control on May 1st.
One of the first acts of the council
was to employ all of the present help
of the electric light company. 1t is
understood that Mr.. W. P. Hover, who
has been with the company for the
past sixteen years. will be placed in
charge as general superintendent, car
rying the authority Of employing all
of the necessary help. acting as pur-
chasing agent and in fact Mr.. Hover
will have full charge. The council
has been commended by very large
majority Of the business men Of the
city for having retained Mr.. Hover
He is thoroughly familiar with the
workings of the plant and will give
much better satisfaction than any new
man that this council might have Sc
cured. We understand that it is the
intention to retain Mr.. w. ID. Luney
also as bookkeeper and general until
ity man. This appointment also
meets the approval of everyone. Mr..
Luney, with his jovial disposition, has
not an enemy in town, is thoroughly
familiar with the meter reading. has
over thirty years of experience as
bookkeeper and can, when necessity
requires, operate the plant. We un-
derstand that he will have an assistant
who will act as stenographer and as
sst in the Office work.
The council chamber, heretofore To-
Gated on the first floor of the city hall
is to be moved upstairs and the old
room fitted up as a modern business
office, where the business of the cleo
trio light plant will be carried on. A
complete set Of Office furniture and
fixtures U.s. to- 6e ;@installed, including
show cases and shelves for the dis
playing of electrical goods and the in
tention is to carry a full and complete
line of electrical appliances. These
will be displayed in such manner
that patrons will have no difficulty

many Of the other kinds. Several
members of the council were present
at the meeting and said that the city
would be willing to order in some
paving If the property owners were
in favor. They thought that paving
should not be attempted at this par
ticular time, however on account of
taking over the electric light plant,
but that arrangements could be made
and all of the preparatory work done
so that paving could be commenced
next spring. There is hardly a prop
erty owner in the city who is not
heartily in favor OF paving and have
already petitioned the council to pave
eighteen blocks OF the business sec.
ticn this year. The necessary notices
could be printed in the local papers
and the desired amount could be put
in during the summer months and our
streets would be in the best of condl.
ton during the fall and winter.
A Mr.. Limbrecht, of Newton, Iowa,
addressed the club in regard to a gas
plant for Denison and was OF the opin-
ion that If run in connection with the
municipal plant itawould be a paying
investment. Mr.. Limbrecht said that
any number Of people would install
gas in their homes for cooking pur-
poses and that it would in no way
conflict with the electric plant. He
advised that the city should install
the plant and run it in connection
with the light plant. While gas would
be fine thing, it would hardly be ad,
visable to install a plant at this time.
The membership of the club still
continues to increase and thirteen
members were taken in at the Friday
evening meeting, being: j. II. Patter.

CLUB TALKS
LINCOLN ROAD
Meeting of Commercial Club Friday
Evening Results in Discussion
OF Highway and Also Paving
GAS FRANCHISE is DISCUSSED
Mr.. Limbrecht, Of Newton. Iowa, Ad
dresses the Club on the Matter Of
Gas for Denson.

In the neighborhood of forty mem
bers of the Commercial club attended
the regular monthly session at the
club rooms Friday evening. Since
the changing OF the regular meeting
from each week to once every month
there has been larger attendances at
these meetings and members seem to
take more interest in club affairs.
At the Friday evening meeting con-
siderable time was spent in talking
over Lincoln highway affairs in CraW-
ford county. and it was the opinion of
some of the members that Denison
business men were not backing the as
sociaton as they should. T. J. Gar.
rison addressed the members at some
length and told them of talk that
he had had with A. Il. Pardington
when he visited Denison in regard to
the dangerous crossing near the Nc.
Henry farm. Some are OF the opinion
that Mr.. Pardington will be in favor
of changing the route from it's present
location to one farther south unless
the dangerous crossings are elimi-
mated. We are advised that there is
now movement on foot to have the
highway run out of Carroll south and
west to Harlan, and if this succeeds
Dcnison would be entirely off the
route. When Mr.. Pardington was
here he mentioned in particular the
bad crossing at the McHenry farm and
wished that arrangements might be
made to have the highway run along
the north side of the Chicago & North
western right OF way. Pressure should
be brought to bear to have this change
in the road made this spring so that
there will be no danger OF Denison
losing the Lincoln highway. Many
other towns are eliminating danger
Gus crossings and in many cases at
the expense of thousands of dollars,
and it seems that Denison should be
able to cope with the present difficulty.
Paving came up for consideration,
and every club member expressed
himself in favor Of paving this
year. Different members gave talks
on pavement and told of the different
kinds and the kind that would be most
suitable for Deniscn. 1t was thought
that paving blocks, brick or concrete
would make an ideal paving and that
they could be put down cheaper than

city on the appraisal beard, was pres

and superintend the erection of the
new plant. Mr. Hill will receive in

factory permanent plans and specifi-
cations will be made and bids for the
erection of the new building and the
installation of a new plant will be
called for. Four weeks time will
elapse before the final plans and spec
ifcations are ready and Mr.. Hill est
mates that it will be some time in
August or the first OF September be-
fore the new Plant will be in opera
tion.
The new plant will be erected on
the lots adjoining the railroad track
and just across the street from the
present buildings and the building
proper will cost about $4,000. Most Of
the machinery now in operation will
be discarded and an entire new plant
and system erected, changing from an
alternating to direct curret. In max
ing this change it will be necessary
that all transformers, motors and
meters now in use be changed. Wheth-
er or not the consumers will be re-
quired to stand the expense in max
ing this particular change has not
been determined. II the consumer is
expected bear the expense the city
will undoubtedly furnish the meters
and motors practically at cost.
There have been a number of cleo
trical men in Denison the past two
days in conference with the council
and the electric light committee.
These men have sought to contract
Tor supplies, but as yet the council
has taken no action.
A meeting has been called for to-
night, at which time minute details
will be entered into and all necessary
arrangements for the carrying on OF
the business made.

EXPLOSION CAUSES INJURY
Rawley Wilson Badly Hurt at Deni
son eottlng Works Thursday
Mornno-Bcttle ExplcdeS

Hawley Wilson, an employee in the
Den!son Bottling works. may lose an
eye as the result of the bursting of
pop bottle which he was filling last
Thursday morning. A piece OF the
broken bottle struck the left eyeball
and it is thought by the physician in
charge that he will ultimately lose
the sight OF this eye.
Wilson has been working for the
bottling works for the past three
months, coming here with his mother
from Dunlap. During this time he has
been the. sole support of his mother
and the accident will prove hardship
to the family.
Thursday morning Mr. Wilson was
at work at one of the bottling ma
chimes filling bottles with soda water
under pressure. Evidently he was
filling defective bottle for the bottle
exploded, throwing the glass in all di-
rections. A large piece penetrated the
eyebail and he was at once taken to
physicians Office for medical atten-
ton. After careful examination 1t
was deemed best to take him to the
hospital where lie has remained since
the accident A specialist was called
from Sioux City Monday evening and
a slight operation was performed up
on the injured eye in order to remove
small splinter of glass. The spe-
cialist says that while he still has the
use of his eye, tn. injury was OF such
a. nature that in all probability sight
will be lost in time.
Fortunately Messrs. Savery & Mitch
ELL proprietors OF the bottling works
some time recently had taken out EN-
ployers' liability insurance and the
insurance company will have to pay
the claim for this accident.

$7,149.0O; b. Grunwald. Of Omaha, bid

The beard feels very well satisfied
with the prices at which the work was
let and considering the quality Of ma
terial to be used, it is thought that
the figures are very reasonable. 1t is
an Improvement which has been need
ed for a number of years, as the old
heating plant has been causing con-
siderable trouble for the past three
years.
