action to compel the Dubuque Elec-
trio company to resume service on
the street car system at once was
begun here today in the United
States court when City Attorney
Matt Chick filed motion with Fed
eral Clerk McNeeley. The street car
strike has been going on for month
and the company has SO far refused
to make any effort to give the men
what they ask, insisting that they
must have higher fares and one man
cars. The men have asked for sixty
cents an hour in place OF the forty
one cents they were getting. The
city council Wednesday night refused
to repeal the ordnance forbidding the
one man car.

He Retires From Supsrintsndeney Of
Streets and Public Improve
ments, In Present
Council.
ALSO IN OLD COUNCIL
He Has Record Of Eleven Years There
and Was in Street Committee Of
Council Then-New Council
In Monday.

] When the new city council is or
| ganized next Monday, T. j. Hickey
commissioner Of streets and public
! improvement and parks. will retire
from office, having served in this ca
! pacity under the commission form Of
government for three terms, or q
! total Of six years. He was defeated
once before during the commission
plan, when j. A. M. Collins beat him
in, the city election.
! Besides this record, Mr.. Hickey
served in the council under the old
plan as alderman from the second
ward for eleven years. In this ca.
pacity he was either chairman OF or
member in the street committee.
This term of service Of seventeen
years has made him thoroughly ia
! miIiar with public Improvement
work, and he has been instrumental
in giving Keokuk some of its best
streets and thoroughfares.
Possibly the most notable improve
ment along this line is the Main
street extension work, the paving
out to Twentieth street, and the Gre
alton OF boulevard for block be-
tween Nineteenth and Twentieth.
Numerous other streets have been
rebuilt and paved or given concrete
coverings under his administration.
South Eighteenth street is one or
these. and there are many other good
streets all over the city which have
been made under the administration
of his department.
New Council in Monday.
The present council is winding. up
it's work now. Mayor Lotion will go
into the insurance business, Mr..
Hickey retires from the council and
D. J. Hemmy alone of the present
council remains.
The new council win be organized
next Monday morning with Theodore
A. Craig in the mayors chair 1t is
expected that Fred II. Overton will
become commissioner of streets and
that D. J. Hemmy will continue as
commissioner Of public safety. There
has been some gossip Of possible
change in departments, but from all
indications it would appear that Mr..
Hemmy will retain the public safety
department. He is familiar with this
work, and while nothing official can
be obtained from any Of the new
council in regard to this talk, it is
believed that Mr.. Hemmy will retain
his present position.
