COSTS MORE TO

Keokuk Electric Co. Announces ar
increase Of From 15c to
zoe in the
Fare.

The Keokuk Electric company has
today announced an increase of from
fifteen to twenty cents in the fare
from Keokuk, Iowa, to Warsaw, Ill,
and from ten cents to fifteen cents in
the fare from Keokuk, Iowa to Cedar
Glen, Illinois, this increase effective
June 10.
There will be no change made in
fares within the city limits OF Keokuk
on the interurban line and no changes
made in the fare from Keokuk to
Hamilton or from Hamilton to War
saw.
When interviewed this morning.
J. P. Ingle. manager of the keokuk
Electric company stated that this in
crease was made necessary by the
increased cost OF all commodities aud
materials used by the electric rail-
way. and also on account of the con-
sistent decline in the receipts on the
interurban line since the year 1913
when the construction work on the
dam was under way, which decline has
still further reduced the net earnings
OF the interurban.
