ing a decrease in balance OF 25c per

Stock on Hand.
The first part OF the year 1917, we
had on hand a considerable stock OF
coke and steam coal and we were al
so able to purchase gas oil under an
old contract at considerably less
price than we were able to purchase 1t
later in the year During the year
1917, the price of gas coke advanced
from $685. per ton to s11.40 per ton
and the price Of steam coal advanced
from So. 90 per ton to s4.25 per ton and
our contract for gas oil expired and
we were obliged to increase the pice
we were paying for gas oil from 4.Sc
per gallon to 7.25c per gallon.
To show the effect of these In
creases we give below table showing
the income, operating expenses and
balance for the first three months in
the wears 1915 to 1918 and we also give
a table showing these same figures
in cost per thousand cubic feet OF gas

Keokuk has exceeded her
quota Of $3.50, 900 in the third
Liberty loan. Subscriptions in
hand total $402, 100 and there
are prospects of there being a
total subscription of $457, 100
by next week. Lee county has
gone lover the top" and so
has the state. The organiza-
tion will be continued. and the
people will still have the priv
lege Of buying bonds until the
government closes its cam
paign. County Chairman Dun
lap cautions against people
slowing up even though there
is an over subscription. The
organization will continue to
drive and every township in
the county is expected to over
subscribe its quota Some of
them already have done this,
and others are expected to do
$50.

the city campaign. has prepared

some data which is of interest to the
people of Keokuk and to those who
have been so actively engaged in the
big campaign. The largest individ-
ual subscription was $4,000. There
was one Of $4,000; four each of $10,-
600; ten each of $4,000; one for $4,-
600; one for $500; one for $4,000;
two for $4,000; four for $4,000; sixty
two of $1,000. and lightweight of
over five hundred, and less than ST.
0O0 The total number of subscrib-
ers is 1,643. The actual money and
pledges in hand amounts to $402, 100.
There is approximately $4,000 prom
ised, and some $4,000 more to hear
from next week, SO that the predic-
ton is that Keokuk will subscribe
$457, 100.
To Pay Next Week.
Subscribers to the loan are asked
to call next week at the banks and
settle, either on the cash basis, the
bank plan of partial payment or the
government plan. The bank plan is
two dollars down and two dollars per
week on $50 bond and four dollars
down and four dollars per week on a
hundred dollar bond. The govern
ment plan is per cent with applica-
ton on or before May 4, 1918. 20
per cent ON May IS, 1918. 35 per
cent on July 10, 1918. 40 per cent on
August Is. 1918. with accrued inter.
est from May g. 1918, on the three
deferred installments).
Payment in full of any subscrip-
ton may, if the subscriber SO elects,
be made without rebate of interest,
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-04-13

with the application on or before
May 4. 1918. Otherwise payment for
the bonds subscribed for must be
completed so as to reach federal
reserve bank, or a branch thereof, on
May 8, 1918, or. with accrued interest,
on May %. July Is. or August is,
1918, previous installments having
been duly paid.
The organization in Keokuk and
throughout the county will be con-
tinued, the chairman OF each organ
ization stated today. Chairman Boyd
still has number OF corporations
and firms to hear from. These are
intending to subscribe, but must wait
for meetings Of directors to decide
on the amounts.
The campaign committees will be
continued until the government
! brings it to close May 4. This will
give people who have been away
from town a chance to subscribe, and
it will mean, also that anyone who
wishes to increase his first subscrip-
ton will have plenty of opportunity.
! 1t is planned to have an honor
flag card to be given to every sub
scriber and those who turn In sub
scriptions.
The first ward is the banner ward
in the amount of subscriptions, turn
ing in $167, 400. The best days
work was done yesterday, when all
committees turned in $114,300. The
third ward is second in the race,
with over 100000 in subscriptions.
Boyd Thanks Everyone.
Chairman Boyd wishes to thank
everyone who has been connected
with the loan in any way. This in
cludes the workers, the committee
chairmen, and the advertisers who SO
generously donated space for Lib
erty loan ads. The press Is also
thanked by Mr.. Boyd for the work
done in this campaign. The work in
Keokuk this week has been under
the direction of Frederic C. Smith, Of
/ The Gate City.
Chairman Dunlap says that every
| township should exceed its quota.
He is asking that special effort DE
made everywhere in the county to
"go over the top" and carry the rec
ord through to splendid finish.
There are several townships In
the county which are over the top"
he said this morning. There is no
reason why every township should
not oversubscribe its quota. I am
hoping that every township organiza-
ton will stay on the job until this is
done"

that the Increased cost Of materials
has made our operating expenses in
crease for the three months period
more than $1,000 over the correspond
ing period in 1914. The result of this
decrease in revenue and increase in
expenses has been that our operating
expenses for the past three months
have fallen $1,21S.42 short of equal
ing our revenue and in these operat-
ing expenses, as pointed out before.
are included no figures for deprecia-
ton, bond interest or profit to the
stockholders of the company.
Gas Department.
The income, operating expenses.
balance and cubic feet Of gas sold by
our gas department by years from
1913 to 1917 is as follows:
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-04-13

You will notice from the table
showing the income and operating ex-
penses per thousand cubic feet of gas
sold that our operating expenses have
increased from .94c per thousand Gu
bic feet of gas sold to s1.33 per thou
sand cubic feet Of gas Sold thus max
ing the operating expenses exceed the
income obtained from the sale Of gas.
Costs Increased.
The increase in operating expenses
is due almost entierly to the increased
cost of manufacturing the gas. The
manufacturing cost Of gas which sold
in 1916 for $11 106.42 was s3962.20,
and the cost of manufacturing gas
which sold in 1918 for 81, 1926 was
SS.337.70.
We, therefore, feel that we are fully
justified in asking your honorable
body to allow us to increase our price
for gas to the figure which we sub
mitted which is not as you can readily
see even sufficient to pay operating
expenses, depreciation, interest and a
reasonable profit.
We desire to call the attention Of
your honorable body to the fact that
in asking you to allow us the increase
requested in our petition we are not
by any means shifting the entire bur
den of the increased cost of doing bust
ness to our customers, for If we sub
mitted a figure that would cover the
cost of doing business, fair amount
for depreciation and return of at
least seven per cent on the money in
vested the figures that would be ar
rived at would be far in excess of
what we have asked and what we
have every right to ask in accordance
with the decisions of all public utility
commissions and courts both in our
own and in other states. We merely
ask that a portion of this increased
cost of doing business be borne by our
customers and we gladly assume a
proportion of this increased cost of
doing business ourselves as we feel
that it is only ri~ht tho We shnrld
