we'll pleased to be able to see their
way across the street at night. The
town council, In procuring the LAMPS
has sized much light on the situation,
and are to be congratulated.
The expense, however, Of maintain

the three lamps consuming one and a
half gallons Of gasoline liz night.
The lamps will not he needed IN

the expense will be SO heavy on tie

expense OF not less than SITS a year.

General Indignation Throughout the
City over its Size This Year.
1, is Shown That il is too Large, and
may be Illegal, also. il is Claimed
by Many.
FORMER MAYOR LANG INTERVIEWED.

The tax levy, as fixed in the ordin-
ance given first passage In the council
manic board last night, has been the
topic of general conversation today,
and there is general Indignation every
where, especially among the taxpay-
ers. Such tax rate was never known
before in Paducah, aud the most re-
markable part Of the proceeding is that
levy can now be made legally for
only six months.
The fiscal year under the third class
charter began June l and rau TO June
1. Last June a tax levy was made,
supposed to be sufficient to pay the
expenses of city government until
June l of this year. Under the seq
ond class charter the fiscal year begins
January | and ends January 1, hence
the city cannot now make a levy
from June /, when the last levy ex-
pires TO june l, 1908, because the new
charter says the fiscal year must end
January l..
The tax levy ordinance passed last
night reads 'for the year 1902" The
present city ccnncil cannot levy any
tax for the year 1919, because tax
has already been levied and collected
TO- the FIRST six months of 1909, leav-
ing only six months to be provided for
in the levy to be made by the present
council. 1t must accordingly levy
tax for the last six mouths Of 1902.
Nevertheless the items in the appro-
priatious are in many instances larger
than they have been in past years for
the entire year. Beginning at the
top, it is found that 800 is levied for
stamps. This is preposterous. Post
age never did cost the city that much,
and likely never will for good
many years, at least.
For hospital, paupers and charity
So, 600 is levied, more than the levy
was for the entire year last time.
The costs of suits is given at sll,-
600. 1t is not known what this is for
unless it is for the Patterson brick
street suit amounting to 1000 and
the r. NJ. Allen suit ISL, 500 judg-
ment) neither of which, were judg-
ments to go against the city for the
entire amounts, reach 81 | 900. leaving
81, 500 surplus.
For bridges and fills 81. 800 is appro-
priated. 1t is claimed by those who
know that the city has practically
nothing to do during the next six
months in the matter of building
bridges and fills and that $500 would
pay all expenses for such, surplus Of
81. 600.
The interest is figured ont at $780,
OOn. yet it never amounts to over $ii,-
900 a year. The number Of bonds en-
which interest has to be paid is known,
and is not over the above amount, yet
neatly $4,000 too much has been up
propriated.
The $4,000 for streets is $1,000
more than has been appropriated for
the streets for whole year, instead
of six months, and yet we have had
streets and this for a whole year
would be needed.
Two thousand four hundred doll r.
Is appropriated for the library, al
Though furtt er own 1t is seen where
three per cent Of the school f1nd il
dedicated to that enterprise. Unless
the SO. 400 is part payment IN the
site purchased by the city. it il l.
legal, as the Carnegie ordinance is not
effective until next year.
