There will have to be an enlarge
ment Of the government building Of
Paducah to accommodate the lawyers.
When the architect designed the build
ing several years ago, he doubtless did
not know that the crop Of attorneys
would be so large. Paducah is the
only city in the country thai. will have
to enlarge her federal court room on
sccount of having so many lawyers.

Councilman Reed Receives One Re.
Spouse Relative to Cost Of
Goyernmen,-Salary LIST Of Lexington On
GERS is furnished For the Benefit
OF Padueah couneilmen.
MAYOR DUscAs's LETTER IN FULL


by the council at Its last meeting TO
investigate the cost Of city govern
ment under the second class, and into
which, Paducah expects to be placed
by the legislature next month, this
morning received reply from
Mayor II. T. Duncan Of Lexington,
to one of the letters written to tho
several mayors Of second class cities.
Mayor Duncsn's letter is rs follows
Lexington, KY, Dec. Is.
Hon. Chas. Reed.
My Dear Sir; Your esteemed favor Of
the 10th hasj ust reached me, and as the
time is short hasten to reply.
Enclosed please find copy of our sal
airy list; also the auditors monthly re-
port on the condition Of the city
finances up to Dec. LIST. OF course the
salary list and the apportionment var
les in each city of the second class, ac-
oording to the varying conditions and
the wishes Of the general council In
addition 20 this salary list we have
two officials, a delinquent tax collect
or ana back tax assessor, who are
paid By fees, and their compensation
is wholly dependant on the amount
Of good work accomplished.
suppose you have seen my letter to
Mr.. Lang in regSrd to the act Of the
General Assembly approved in 1900
for firemen's benefit fund, which /
think was unconstitutional. and al
though our circuit court holds to be
valid, will have carried to the court
of appeals.
You will notice the charter provides
for four aldermen. Lexington has by
ordinance raised the number to eight,
Newport to FIVE, while Covington has
four. should you join our band Of
second class cities, you will see that
the mayor would appoint four alder
men and all other new officers pro.
vided for in our charter, at salaries
fixed by the general council.
Isend by this mail copy Of our
printed charter and ordinances By
some mistake several sections Of the
charter were omitted in this compil-
alton, but you will find the complete
charter in the Kentucky Statutes,
chapter 50, Article III. edition 1899
except the act Of 1900. chapter Z, re.
lsting to fire department and chapter
22, relating to schools. II l can
serve you further please command me.
l am very anxious to meet your Off
cials, and If possible will take day or
two of and visit your city.
Yours very truly,
II. 7. Duncan.
The salary list enclosed, Of what is
paid Lexington officials shows that
many are larger and many smaller
than those Paducah now pays Il al.
so shows several officials we do not
have Under the third class.
The total salary list is over $40, 900
year. Mayor LanR's recent report
places the city's total salary list at
less than $40, 900 although 1t will be
much greater hereafter on account
Of recent INCREASES.
A comparison Of Lexington and Pa
ducah salaries is as follows;

but If he understood he showed not tho

WY concerned him. He simply stared into
space and it is only fair to assume that the
words of the newsboy were not understood,
Czogosz not being very familiar with the
English language, grasping the most ordi-
nary words only after much difficulty.
When he arrived at his home the family
had gone to bed and had to be aroused
