The Iowa Electric Company invites bids to erect a 125 foot concrete smoke stack at its To Cai light plant. Construction is expected to begin soon. The stack will be over nine feet in diameter at the base and about six feet across at the top. A recent Cedar Rapids incident showed concrete stacks surviving heavy strain. Also noted are plant improvements and expected better public service. Peter L. Goettsch of Goose Lake, wounded in France in 1918, remains in Camp Dodge hospital with progressing recovery. Last fall five drain tubes in his leg were removed, and he anticipates walking with crutches and splints shortly. Work crews near completion of pond filling at the fair grounds, eliminating an eyesore and improving appearance and space.
