Gilman Hummel ought to take some
steps towards IL himself to show that
il is not a matter Of business with
him, IL for no other reason.
The brick street has never been
received by the city, but if the city
can be made to pay for it before II
has been formally received, the city
can compel the contractor to live up
to his contract. 1t has now been over
a year since the sidewalks began to
crack and rear mp, and nothing has
ever been done towards repairing
them, despite repeated complaints.
The board OF aldermen, before al
lowing the $1,000 claim tomorrow
night, should do the taxpayers and
property owners the justice 60 at least
find out why no effort has ever been
made TO force the contractor to comply
with his contract with the city.

THE BRICK STREET.

Among the accounts allowed by
the council Monday night, and which
will have 70 be allowed or rejected by
the board of aldermen tomorrow night,
was the balance due the brick street
contractor on his judgment against
the city. 1t amounted to over 50, 900,
and although the city has been bor-
rowing extensively to defray the cur
rent expenses of government, the gang
in office has managed to get enough to
pay off this Judgment.
It is true that it was a Judgment,
and subject to collection at any time,
but it is equally true that as the con-
tractor has waited this long, he might
have waited until the city was in a
better position financially to pay it.
This is especially true as he is now
q member Of the administration, has
been drawing pay for two offices and
doubtless could have managed to get
along without it awhile longer.
But that is neither here nor there.
That is his business. He saw fit to
collect the balance, and the council
doubtless allowed it willingly, and
wished it were more, for they all
stand together. There is another
phase of the case that interests the
public, however, and which 1t is
hoped the board of aldermen will
consider well before it acts on the al
lowance Thursday night. This is the
failure of the contractor to live up to
the contract with the city for repair.
ing the street and sidewalks. The
city has ordered the attorney to pro-
coed against the contractor to force
him to comply with the contract, if
we are not mistaken, and why he has
not done IL IL one of those mysteries
that are so common in the present
administration. Why the mayor has
not seen that the councils orders were
carried out is another thing that mas
not been explained, but at any rate
the Edewalks have been paid for and
the streets will have been paid for
if the board of aldermen allows the
last amount, and the last hope OF
getting the necessary repairs made
will then vanish. The aldermen
should hold back this money until
the contract is complied with, or
until the courts decide that IL does
not have to be. The money has been
maid for the work, and the city and
property owners have complied with
their part Of the contract, and the
contractor should be made to comply
with his.
Ii is true that the contractor is now
the custodian of the bond, papers and
other things connected with the case
and is equally true that his bond was
furnished by the company that Ooun-
Gilman Hummel Is local agent for.
but this should MAKE no difference.
While Councilman Hummel may be
one of the mainstsys of the admins
tystion, and its mouthpiece, that is no
reason the city should hesitate to
proceed against the street and side
walk contractor on the bond simply
because the bond was furnished bv
his company. 1t is not claimed that
Councilman Hummel's connection
with bond company has anything to
do with the city's failure to enforce
the provisions in this case. bnt 1t does
seem, as If some one should Se that the
contract is complied with, or declared
void. The mayor will not do it, the
city collector has not done it and Coun'

The talk Of not being able to reduce
the police force until the method OF
working the men is changed is all rot.
II the municipal boards fix the number
of men at sixteen, or twenty, or any
thing else, it will be the duty of the
police commissioners to use them to
best advantage, and if the commits
sioners do not desire to do il they
can be asked to resign by the may
or, if he has backbone enough. The
idea is rapidly gaining popularity
that Paducah is paying too many
policemen, and unless there is good
cause for retaining the present num-
Der, and none has been shown thus
far, the officials should in the inter
est of a tax ridden city make a reduc-
ton.

Owing to the frequency with which

the city of Paducah should take i'm

blowers should come along. There is
