keokuk Electric Company at Request
Of Citizens, is Making Survey
on This Subject.

A survey of the town of Montrose
to ascertain how extensive would be
the use of electric light and power
in that city, were a line to be run
from Keokuk, was being made today
by representative of the Keokuk
Electric company.
At the urgent request of citizens of
Montrose who have asked the Keo-
kuk Electric company to run a wire
from here to that city, twelve miles
distant, company representatives went
to Montrose to learn the sentiment Of
the people there in regards to this
possible service. On this report will
hinge the final decision in the matter.
Whether enough electricity for
lights and power will be consumed to
make it a pay for the expense of ex-
tending the line must be taken into
consideration in the matter. The COM
pa1y will have to extend its lines
tw,,lve miles and there is the right
of way problem in this extension to
be considered. too. All of these fac
tors will have a voice In the final
disposition of the request of the
Montrose people.
