ina Last Night Learned Of Three
Prospects Which Are
in Good Shape.

Discussed.
TALK SEWER SYSTEMS

Three Industrial propositions were
discussed last night at the meeting OF
the directors OF the Keokuk Industrial
association at their monthly meeting
at the Hotel Iowa. The directors
were much interested in the PROPOSE
tons advanced and considered
them in q favorable light.
1t was reported too. that a plan for
a sewer system for Keokuk Heights
is being worked out. Whether to
join the sewer system here with that
of the main system, or whether to
build sewer system Independent Of
the city system are the two PROPOSE
lions involved.
To connect with the city system
Will involve a considerable task 1t Is
felt to make the connections. With
the septic tank proposition and the in
dependent system this can be obvi-
ated. The septic tank is air tight and
Is made into compartments. The solid
matter which IS flushed into the tank
literally destroys itself through GER
tain reactions.
