The city council had just appointed
him chairman of the committee to take
charge Of the plan, which has already
received the support Of the Indus
trial association
1T should be paid for by the people
of the city generally" he continued,
land 1t is much better to get ten
thousand subscriptions of dollar
each than ten subscriptions Of $1,000
each. OF course, some will give
comparatively large amounts, but If
this thing goes. it will be made an
accomplished thing by the universal
subscription of small amounts of
few dollars each by the generality of
Keokuk people. We ought to raise
$4,000 easily from the $4,000 1nhabi-
tants OF the city.
