One Man Advocates Setting It Now
on Twentieth Street and Putting
II Bpadside OF
Street.
PUT ON SECOND STREET
Another Local Man Suggests Putting
the Monument at Top Of tho
Main Street
Hill

when you move the Curtis statue
! to the hill at Twentieth street, hope
they will turn it around SO people
can see it" said a Keokuk man this
morning, and he continued:
| The men who placed the statue
at Third street made it impossible
| for one to see the fine lines OF the
really excellent work of art without
! going a half block along Third street,
north or south. Of course, thu spec
tators are in Main street, and they
are looking at the thin edge Of the
statue, exactly like man looking at
the thin edge of a finely decorated
watch case.
"As almost everybody KIN rws, an
equestrian statue is made to be seen
only broadside-but whoever placed
this one at Third street seemed to
think any old way would do and
probably was willing to ruin the
artistic effect of the statue in order
to save space alongside 1t for
vehicles.
sOut at Twentieth street is plenty
of space in the middle If the
ithoroughfare-and it would be with
while to move the statue there, If
necessary. to get it placed as it ought
Ito be-"
How About Second street7
There is one man who wants to
keep the statue down on lower Main
street, but he wants to put It on the
brow of the hill, looking down to-
wards the railroad tracks and the
river.
'Tm for moving the statue all
right" he said "But let's move 1t
down to the place where 1t should
have been in the first place. That's
on Second street, right at the top
of the hill. If you put it there, not
in the middle of the intersection, but
over at the east side of the crossing
then every train and every boat that
comes along will have fine view Of
the statue.
Second street was the logical
place for the statue in the first
place, and if it is going to be moved,
lets put it there"
Changing the Name.
One merchant pointed out that
there IS a little more to changing the
name of the street than council
resolution. He referred to the adver-
Using that would have to be changed
on account OF the change in name.
Many of the Main street merchants
now had many Autographs, bill board
advertising and the like which would
be expensive to change all at once,
he said.
