1t will be seen from the above re-

are chimney fires. 1t costs the city
considerable money every time there
is run to one of these fires. In some
cities there is fine of twenty dol
lars imposed for not having their
chimneys cleaned. While we do not
wish to work hardship on any one,
would recommend that City Council
take the matter up and consider the
passing of an ordinance governing
such cases.
In number of places where the
firemen have gone, the chimneys have
been so full of SCOT that it has been
necessary for them to force the hose
through the SCOT in order to get to the
fire. It would seem that the chimneys
such as these have not been cleaned
for several years.

CITY COUNCIL

City Council last night took a for
ward step in providing public improve
ments. The first steps were taken to
lay larger water mains for distribution
of water, and for the paving of East
Commerce Street with concrete and
macademizing Broad street hill.
All of the members of Council were
present last night at the meeting ex-
cepting Mr.. Channels.
Immediately following the reading
and approval of the minutes, there
was an application presented by the
Crew-Levick Company, to erect a con-
crete building and concrete founda-
tions for steel oil AMI gasoline tanks
upon the triangle piece of property
cf the Penna Railroad Company, be-
tween Grove Street and South Pearl
Street.
Mr.. Walter H. Bacon representing
the Crew-Levick Company, said that
the company had leased the ground
from the Penna. railroad company,
S25O0 in improvements, in addition to
about $500 paid for railroad track ex-
extension. The Crew-Levick Company
employed IA men and paid out in wag-
es $500 per month.
Mr.. George Irving, Mr.. Chas. Cas-
sidy and Mr.. Olsen, all objected to
the erection of the OIL tanks owing
to what they feared would be extra
fire hazard.
Mr.. Hettinger said that the Crew
Levick tanks had been upon his prop
erty and he would not vote upon the
matter because it might be charged
that he was interested. Personally he
did not think there was greater fire
risk in the erection of this improve
ment than there was with some prop
erty in that vicinity.
Upon motion of Mr.. Laning a vote
was taken and each member excepting
Mr.. Hettinger voted in favor of the
issuing of the permit for the building.
Mayor Arthur G. Whitaker present
ed his monthly report for February
showing collections of $50 in fines. Sc
for license, and $1,000 in costs, to-
tai of $1O2O3.
Reports of the City Commissioners,
the Comptroller and Overseer of the
Poor. were presented, each separately
read and ordered filed
TIL Preston Calendar Company pre-
sented a petition to City Council in
writing asking a reduction from the
assessment upon the plant amounting
to $500, to what is stated the true
value of S11,S00. The petition was
referred to the Corporation Counsel.
CITY Collector VIM. H. McGear said
that there were four years taxes
against the plant and that Mr.. Preston
was now endeavoring to sell the per-
sonal property but the tax lien was
now filed in the County Clerks office.
City Collector McGear then called
attention of City Council to recent
law which made it his duty to print
annually in April the names OF all de-
linquent personal tax payers in one
newspaper, at a cost Of ten cents a
name. the 10 cents being added to the
tax bill delinquent. Mr.. McGear said
that in Bridgeton it was not necessary
to make this advertisement, as all
these collections were made by war
rants.
City Council did not think it neces-
sary' to authorize the Collector to
make such publication.
Upon motion of Mr.. Holmes, Evans

KEOSAUQUA GETS
SAM CLARK BOOKS
Large Part of Library of Former Ed
tor Of The Gate City Given
To Neighborina City.

The following from a keosauqua
newspaper will be of interest to Keo-
kuk people: Keosauqua has had a
really valuable gift of books, and has
not yet found any good place in which
to display them. Some two weeks
ago, sixteen large, heavy cases were
delivered at the rest room, which
proved upon examination to be filled
with books from the library of the
late Samuel Clark of Keokuk, one
time member of congress from this
district and at the date of his death.
editor of The Keokuk Gate City. Mr.
Clark was born in Van Buren, county
and his heirs have done a very gra-
cious thing in presenting Keosauqua
SO large a section of his library. The
books, except one box, have not yet
been opened and one can only guess
at the treasurers that may be among
them. AS Mr.. Clark was an uncom-
monty well-read man, and versed In
the best literature, it is altogether
likely that his books are of very great
value to the historical student and at
least to the person of scholarly taste.

SEND DELEGATES
League to Enforce Peace, Of Which
William II. Taft Is President,
Sends Invitation to

FIRST ANNUAL MEETING
All Commercial Organizations With
Membership in National Chamber
Of Commerce Are
Invited.

j. NJ. Fulton, secretary of the keoklk
Industrial association, has received
communication from ex-PTesident
William Howard Taft, asking that
delegates be sent from here to the
first annual national assemblage OF
the League to Enforce Peace, to be
held in Washington on May &c and
u. Mr.. Taft is the president of the
league.
With view to having the country's
business men well represented at the
leagues first annual conference, Mr..
Taft has sent like invitation to all
OF the commercial organizations
which have a membership in the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
The national chamber Of commerce
adopted through a referendum held
recently, an international peace plan
similar in character to that outlined
in the platform Of the League to En-
force Peace, which consists of the
following four proposals:
An international court.
An international council of concilia-
ton.
An agreement to use the joint
armed and economic forces of all the
signatory powers to compel sub
mission of international disputes to
the court or council before beginning
hostilittes or declaring war.
An international code.

the third proposal, the latter organi
zation having failed to adopt by
two-thirds vote, the "joint armet
force" clause The iLea Of an econ
omic boycott however. was sustained
Mr.. Taft, in his letter received here
sums up the situation as follows:
"The commercial organizations
constituting the Chamber of COM
MERGE Of the United States by
their votes on referendum number
eleven. expressed approval of the
fundamental principle Of the
League to Enforce Peace. In
deed all the specific recommends
lions excepting one were carried
by majorities in excess of two
thirds. Among the Recommended
lions thus adopted was one favor
ing the organization Of a system
Of commercial and financial non
intercourse, to be applied to 8
nation which entered the pro-
posed league Of nations and then
went to war without first submit
ting difference which arose to an
agreed upon tribunal.
One Recommendation Fails.
"The one recommendation
which just failed to receive the
two-thirds majority necessary to
commit the national chamber to
the proposition was that which
provided for the use of concerted
military force in the event that
commercial non-intercourse proved
insufficient to compel nations
which have proceeded to war to
desist from military operations
and submit the questions at issue
to an international court or coun-
Gil of Cancellation.
whatever may be the ultimate
decision of the league OF nations
when instituted, upon this point,
it would seem that for present
practical purposes the League to
Enforce Peace may be looked up
on as an agency through which
your organization may work for
the common program embraced
within the approval of the referen-
dunn vote.
"It is from this point Of view,
therefore, that your organization
is asked to send a delegation to
the annual meeting of the league.
When the chamber of commerce rel
erendum was submitted last NoVem
Der, Mr.. Taft wrote to the president
of local commercial organizations a
follows:
An irremediabie Injury.
"The irremediable injury that
would result to the whole world
in case a way should not be
found, at the close Of the Euro
pean conflict, to make war less
threatening, and to render it less
frequent, has induced consider
able number of leaders in the
realms both of craftsmanship and
of business to combine in an ef-
fort to create sentiment in our
own and other countries, in IA
