Elmer G. Weiseman, appointed dur.
ing tn Drum meetings, acted as chair

for few remarks. Rev. McElree
spoke OF the importance of the WORK
IN hand, that of training the boy, and
/ emphasized the Importance of or
ea1ized effort among those interested
IN the boy. Mr.. II. G. Brown was the
next speaker He sanctioned an or
ganized effort to help the boyLood OF
the community and emphasized In
brief, the great scope of the problem
OF training the boys of city for right
living. He said there are about nine
hundred boys in the city OF KeokuI1,
and the training Of the present ganer-
alton would largely solve the future
OF the city. The question in hand
vas whether or not the work was be-
/ ing done.
/ Following the remarks OF the two

nature OF an organization il one was

Through Rand
Park.

The proposed plans of the Keokuk
Electric company to etxend its
street car line through the lower end
OF Rand park and out the proposed
new boulevard to the new baseball
grounds depends to a great ex-
tent upon the attitude of the
property owners along whose land
the right OF way must be TAX

which will develop their property as
much If not more than many other
improvements, and IL they are willing
tc do their share towards putting in
sewers. and curbs. and generally max
ing those lots beyond the park and
this side OF the present boulevard,
desirable ones to build on, then the
company will proceed
/ 1t will be up to the people who will
/: be affected however The city does
/ not propose to grant right Of way
except through the park, the remain
ing right OF way must come from the
property owners themselves. The ex-
tension OF the street car lines to this
portion of the city naturally would
Inean much towards building up the
territory. On the other hand, the
company cannot build up this new ter
jritory by just laying car tracks The
people must play the game too, and
! must help the conditions by making
/ the lots attractive and by putting in
4 sewers and the like
i At the present time the proposed
plans are in the hands of the commits
s.oners. The blue prints showing tho
proposed route have been sent to the
council and are being considered. The
council members are of the opinion
1 that they have the right to grant to
THE car company the right to extend
/! q line across the park. Manager
Ayres said that If the right is granted
his company would do all possible to
preserve the present natural beauty
OF the right of way granted. The
company will utilize the trees for
holding wires. and there would prac-
8tically be no grading.
