working people of the State than any
bill that has yet been introduced in
either the House or Senate. 1t pro-
vides for some very important amend
ments TO the lien law.
Under the present lien law the
claims of the laborers and mechanics
are about the last things to be consid-
cred In case contractor gets into
financial difficulty and the people who

the heaviest sufferers.
The Kinney bill stipulates thu in
all cases the claims of laborers and
mechanics shall have preference over
all other claims. and shall be paid
before the claims of persons furnish
ing materials to contractor; that the
material mems claims shall take pre-
cedence over the claims. of the sub
contractors, and the sub-coptractors'
claims over those of the principal con-
tractor.

This is the most critical time
through which the Big Sandy val
ley development has ever passed.
The failure of an appropriation for
the river now would not only put
US back many years in this most
important matter, but it would
even stop the work on the two
dams below Louisa. Only the locks
have been contracted, and there is
not quite money enough provided
to build the dams that go with
them. Until this appropriation is
made the engineers will not let
the contract. Some strong influ-
ences are at work against us, in
making a hidden and stealthy
fight. Some OF these are known
but can not, with propriety, be di
vulged just now.
