MUST PAY FOR THEIR FOLLY.

The decision OF the courts against
the city of Paduoah in the brick
street case is another confederation
of the claim that Democratic councils
are inefficient. The contractor who
is responsible for the four blocks of
brick street on Broadway is now
holding an Office and threatened with
q raise in salary, and while his pull
with the general council and city gov
eminent is sufficiently strong to justify
the belief that there win be no further
fight on account Of the good feeling
towards him, 1t is perhaps useless
from q legal standpoint to further con-
test the case. 1t was said at the time
that the suit would 60 against the
city, and it has. The city was right
in refusing to pay $1,000 still due
ON the street, for it has already paid
more than the miserable job was
worth. The city council was so
careless in making the contract that
the city is probably unable to escape
the payment of the balance, although
it is the general opinion it is an un.
Just debt.
When the city decided to build these
four blocks of brick street, the con.
tract was let to inexperienced men.
They didn't know much about brick
streets. but they knew how to get the
best in every section of the contract,
despite the fact that there were by ac-
tusl connt seven contractors in the
council who ought to have known
enough to draw. upa contract that
would protect the city. The street
was kept torn up for weeks, and dur
ing the progress of the work the city
was worsted in every controversy that
came up. Her engineers objected to
the material and to the work repeat
eddy, but it was found in every in
stance that the contract permitted it,
or else the contractors were sustained
by the council The contractors could |
do pretty much as they pleased under
the terms prescribed. The workman

Several insurance companies have
filed suit against the city of Msyfield
for money they had to pay out on in
surance policies protecting property
that was destroyed by the big fire
there year or more ago. The May
field papers are disposed to censure the
insurance companies, but the Mayfield
papers evidently take the wrong view
Of the case. The Mayfield water COM
pany had contract to furnish water
for fire protection. The people paid
for this protection, and were entitled
to have it. The insurance companies
doing business there based their rates
on the fire protection afforded by the
city. They were doing legitimate
business, paying . state, county and
city license to do it, and ran their
risks on the presumption that they
were protected by tine water company's
service. When the big fire came its
destructiveness was due largely, if not
solely, to the Mayfleld water COM
pany's failure to comply with its
contract, and the insurance companies
had to stand most of the loss. The
water company was unable to fur
nish water, and the inability to fur.
nish water resulted in the destruc.
tion Of much property, for which the
insurance companies had to pay. That
the water company was to blame was
adequately proven by the test cases
tried in the courts, and affirmed lately
by the court OF appeals. The insur-
snce companies are not benevolent in
situations They do not, as a rule, in.
sure where there is no fire protection.
When they go into town to do bus.
mess they base their rates, among
other things, on the fire protection.
The better the protection the lower
the rate. When through design or ac-
cident there is no fire protection, the
insurance companies have to pay
their losses just the same, and the
town should be responsible to them.
The city probably. in case judgment
was rendered against it, has redress
BY suing the water company, which

His face was very white and tired

that he was either in the clutch of a
new illness or was only Just recover
ing from an old one. He had found a
seat in a corner OF one OF the cars on
the Sixth avenue elevated. A woman
with a baby and child Ave or six
years old entered. No one offered
them seat. the sick man looked at
the woman and the babies, and II was
evident he was engaged in great
wrestling match with his sense Of
courtesy. Presently his sense Of
courtesy won. The woman scarcely
acknowledged his act She took the
baby in her lap and the child leaned
against her knees. The man hung
limp from an opposite strap. At Fiji
tieth street passenger left the seat
next TO the woman and two babies.
The sick man started for II anxiously.
but before he had reached II the wo-
man had lifted the child that had been
leaning against her knee into the seat
The sick man CROPPED feebly for his
strap. Then the seat next to the older
child became vacant. Again the man
started for it. but he was weaker In
the knees now, and before he had
really obtained HIS balance the baby
was occupying the seat. An over
grown office boy. hanging from a
neighboring strap swung himself out
of line, and in a considerably loud
voice, shouted to the sick man, That's
