The following comment from the
0onnellson Review follows some ex-
,erpts of The Gate Cfty's story anent
he one court house agitation: Per-
we wish this matter could
AVE been brought UP In some other
manner, SO 1t would not appear that |
t was a fight OF the balance of the
county against Keokuk, but high legal
authority gave us the information that
his was the only way to get at this
question. We know that the people
# this section have no antipathy to
hat city; they spend thousands Of
ollars there to hundreds spent in Ft.
ladison Railway facilities account
or some of this difference, Of course,
ut the people of the upper district
ave no desire to do Keokuk an in
Try, unless it becomes necessary to
observe their own rights and secure
he greatest good to the greatest num-
Ter.
