Council for the year 1898. While the
cost Of improvements is not SO great
as for 1894, when the Hotel Latham
was included, a very good showing is
made. There have been in fact more
houses put up, but most of them are
small dwellings that dc.not count up
like big business blocks. Several
business houses, however, are included
in the list and of them the Ragsdale-
Cooper block is entitled to rank as
the most imposing and elegant block
in the city. In addition to the build
ings put up there have been num-
Der of other valuable improvements.
W. t. Cooper invested $1,000 in a
! sewerage system for the Phoenix
Hotel, under special ordinance.
The Cumberland Telephone Co., has
extended its plant largely at cost
of at least $4,000. The city has ex-
pended about $4,000 in street improve
ments. Last and more important
than all, the Hopkinsville Waterworks
Co. is just completing plant at a
cost of $4,000, which will supply the
city's greatest need. These improve
ments added to the buildings named
below foot up the handsome total of
nearly $4,000.
