Manager Hubbard Gives HIS Estimate
Thereof.
Manager Hubbard was seen by a
RECoRp-UNIoN reporter last evening.
He said the probable loss to the building
and stock was about sos, 0G0. The build
ing which was Quilted belongs to J. f.
Howard of San Francisco. 1t was for
merlv part of the Howard estate. But
for the fact that litigation was pending,
Baker & Hamilton would have bought
the property some time ago. The damage
to the building Is probably $500, and is
covered by insurance.
1--WE haven't taken an inventory of all
The stock as vet said Colonel Hubbard,
s.21It we are pretty well satisfied that the
Tvron+-street building-the one Quilted
contained about $4,000 worth of goods,
the most valuable part OF which were the
AGRICULTURAL implements. We supposed
al + rst that this would be the only dam
age sustained. but after the smoke had
cleared away we found much OF our stock
in the J-street store badly damaged by
smoke and water. The loss III the latter
place will probably be $4,000. All the
loss is covered by insurance"
AS TO THE FUTURE.
In answer to question as TO whether
he thought the firm would rebuild and
conduct as extensive a business here as
heretofore Mr.. Hubbard said he could
rot state positively.

ance in this state, will from the worl
OF the convention receive new
strength aid force. The direct ia,
coming to Kentucky from the gen
eral government, amounting to over
100000, will become part Of the
school fund and will restore to this
great cause that which nearly half a
century ago was by adverse legisla'
ton taken from this noble work.
All that part OF the old constitu-
ton in conflict with the federal con.
stitution in reference to slavery has
been omitted.
The claim has been widely made
that this proposed constitution is not
only Of extreme but Of unusual de-
tail and unnecessarily legislative in
It's charac or. An examination will
show that in the present constitu ion
there are about II $50 words, and
in this propo ;ed one about q 900
words, and therefore only about 90
per cent. larger than that Of 1919
so. The subject OF railroads, mum,
cipaliues. revenue and taxation. cor
poro tions and puohc charities are
covered by new articles. Ali these
heve been rendered necessary by the
changed conditions Of the state du-
ring the past .orty years. Excluding
these new matters, the proposed
constitution is shorter than the pre-
sent ore. The constitution now
submitted for your approval is about
the average length as that Of Arkan
sas, COLORADO, North and South

than that of Missouri and ten per

to all such work, yet this instrument
now susceptible Of change at 'ths
