CITY OFFICIALS

ed BY Repeat of Mulet Law
Is Principal
Object
MEET IN DEs MONIES
June 23 Is Date set-Mestins to be
Held A, the Suggestion Of
Mayor s. w. Moor
q neao

Frank Pierce of Marshalltown, sec.
rotary of the League of Iowa Munich
palities, has sent out notices to the
various city officials calling attention
TO the meeting that has been called
'or June 90 at Des Moines. The SEES
sion there is in accordance with the
plans suggested some time since by
Mayor Moorhead and is for the pur.
pose of discussing the ways and
means of meeting the deficiency that
will be felt in the municipal income
when the repeal of the mulct law goes
into effect
There, have been numerous fruitless
discussions on the subject of meeting
the big deficiency from the loss Of the
revenue from the saloons and the
Keokuk mayor finally suggested that
A general meeting should be called, at
which time everyone would be expect
ed to advance some suggestions and
something tangible could be accom-
plished for the good Of all concerned.
The suggestion met with the instant
approval of the League of Iowa NUM-
cipalities, an organization that is con
tinually striving for the good of the
cities of this state and a meeting has
oeen called. The members of the
league are urged to be present and tc
take part in the deliberations of the
day. There will be number of plart
submitted and there Is certain to be
much good accruing to all those who
attend.
The members of the league are mel
who make business of studying mu
nicipal problems and there will be
some brilliant talks heard. The prob
lem of making good the tremendous
sums that will be lost and to do 1t
without working hardship on any
particular class of the citizens is q
difficult one and will require the con-
certed ideas OF those who are at the
meeting.
No definite decision may be reached
at the gathering in Des Moines on the
2Srd of this month, but there will be
numerous suggestions that will assist
the various cities in working out their
,wn individual problems.

Grand Theater is Purchased by Mis-
souri, Woman, Who Also Buys
SomeSOther Property.

Fort Madison property was involved
in one of thesiargest real estate deals
ever consum1ted in this vicinity. The
Grand theatre and the Bonicamp resi-
dence on Fourth street were purchas-
ed by Mrs. Leoti Rose of Missouri and
in addition farm of one hundred and
sixty acres near Quincy was secured
BY Mrs. Rose. The former owners of
the theatre, Messrs. Covert and Ian
caster. became the owners of highly
improved farm of $40 acres located in
Missouri. The complete transaction
involved the sum of $125,000.
Mrs Rose will make her home at
her Fourth street residence. A. Nagel
will be her manager for the theatre
and the theatre will be conducted as
in the past by the former lessees, the
aker-Dodge Theatre company.
The Heitzman Land & Loan COM
pany conducted the negotiations for
the property.
The Grand is an exceedingly popu-
lar playhouse and it's acquisition by
Mrs. Rose will be of great interest
to the community. The patrons will
also be pleased to learn that the pol
lev of the former lessees will be
maintained. The transaction has been
completed and the new owners are
now in possession.
