General Indignation Throughout the
City over its Size This Year.
It 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-
snce 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 tsxpay-
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 and ran 70 June
/. Last June tax levy was made,
supposed to be sufficient to pay the
expenses of city government until
June l of this year. Under the Sec
ond class charter the fiscal year begins
January l and ends January I, 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 a 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 II 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 $500 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
90, GOO is levied, more than the levy
was for the entire year last time.
The costs Of suits is given at sil,-
900. 1t is not known what this is for
unless it is for the Patterson brick
street suit amounting to 81, 900 and
the R. NJ. Allen suit 81, 800 judg-
ment) neither of which, were judg-
ments to so against the city for the
entire amounts, reach Sill, 900, leaving
80, 500 surplus.
For bridges and fills 81. 500 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, a surplus of
81. 600.
The interest is figured ont at $780,
O0n. vet it never amounts to over sii,-
900 year. The number of bonds en-
which interest has to be paid is known,
and is not over the above amount, yet
nearly $4,000 too much has been up
propriated.
The sl7, 900 for streets is $4,000
more than has been appropriated for
the streets for whole year. instead
of six months. and yet we have had
streets and this for q whole year
would be needed.
Two thousand four hundred doll r.
is appropriated for the library, al
Though further own 1t is seen where
three per cent of the school f1nd is
dedicated to that enterprise. Unless
the 90. 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.

Third WARD BIDS HIGH
School Board May Decide to
Postpone Erection Of Build
ing Another Year.
But Two Bids Received. and
Those Are From Local
Contractors.
Notifications in Plans Made and
Contractors Doing More
Figuring.

The school board members We're the
interested participants in surprise
party Monday evening at o'clock,
when a meeting was held to open and
consider bids for the erection of new
eight-room school building on the site of
the present Third ward school. But two
bids were received and these were so
high that the board refused to consider
them for an instant.
The two bids were from Contractors
C. f. Reimer and J. f. Atkinson, and
instead of being in the neighborhood of
$4,000 they were between $4,000 and
$4,000. The plans called for building
similar to the Arson school, but some
what more elaborate. The Arson build
ing was erected last year at cost of
about $4,000 and with the increased
price of building materials the board
believed a school house could be erected
at an increased cost of $4,000 to $4,000.
When the figures We're submitted the
board at once went over the plans with
the architect and agreed upon number
of notifications that would reduce the
cost and at the same time provide
plain but modern building. Adjourn
ment was taken utnil this afternoon, to
meet with the contractors and allow
them to change their figures in accord
ance with the notifications. Unless
material reduction could be secured it
was the intention of the board to reject
all the bids and postpone the erection
of the building to an indefinite time.

WILSON BOYS DISCHARGED.
Have Witnesses to Prove Alibis in Al
bion Burglary Case.

oion burglary Ease.
Arthur and William Wilson, sons of
Daniel T. Wilson, a farmer residing
seven miles northwest Of Albion. who
We're arrested Monday at Albion,
charged with breaking and entering in
the night time the general store of John
D. Fraley g. Son, were discharged this
morning at 10 o'clock in the court of
Justice Robert Denbow, and the case
dismissed without prejudice.
Upon being arraigned In Justice Den
bows court Monday afternoon the de-
PENDANTS pleaded not guilty and asked
time to secure witnesses proving their
alibis. Arthur, the oldest Of the boys,
had the proof of E. F. Dolin and Mrs.
Dolin that he was at their home, the
old George Hixson farm in Marietta
township, all of Sunday night. Will
lam Wilson had as witnesses his par
ents and sister that he was at home
all night Sunday, and therefore could
not have been concerned in the crime
OF the Fraley burglary. The sisters ev-
idence was particularly strong.
1t develops that the thieves, whoever
they were. went to the Fraley store pre-
pared to make a profitable raid The
cart, or light wagon that was used by
the thieves in making their escape, and
which was traced as far as the Will
son home. was one sufficiently large, it
is thought, to carry away considerable
plumber. Had not young Fraley and
his companion, one Smith, returned
when they did to Albion. and became
aware of the presence of the men in the
store, the Fraleys would undoubtedly
have suffered quite a little monetary
loss. A large pile of overalls had been
removed from the shelves and placed on
the floor, ready to be carried out of
doors and placed in the wagon. The
store had also been quite generally ran
sacked for the most valuable goods, and
all that was wanted by the thieves was
little more time to make their raid
good. 1t develops that the burglars
made their entrance by means Of the
roof. the Fraley store being located in
the old school building, which still has
attached the belfry.
1t is expected that new developments
will arise in the case within the next
few days.

five pounds. Other meats shrink proportion

the same price.

would be compelled to submit to the

Same Question in Philadelphia.
Since discussing the paving matter in
Local Comment the EDITORS eye has
Asphalt Journal published at Chicago
which suggests more grounds for eau
ton in this paving matter. The part OF
the resolution to which Mr..
Greene objected provided land the
paving of the roadway men
toned above with the best quality
of Trinidad Pitch lake asphalt or Ber-
mudez lake asphalt" This journal,
whose publishers are unknown to the
T.-R. and who may be some indepen-

garding the financial embarrassment of
the asphalt trust:
at is suggested by the Philadelphia
Ledger that the bad showing made by
the asphalt trust may be due in part to
the cost of getting politicians to specify
that asphalt alone be used in street
paving. The Philadelphia council pass
ed an ordinance for expending half a
million dollars in asphalt paving, and it
contained the usual provision that the
asphalt used should be Bermudez or
Trinidad lake. The contract also in
cluded guarantee for ten years, and If
contractors undertook to
keep the pavements in order for ten
years it was their interest, rather than
that of the city, to have the best as
phalt used. and the selection of the ma
terial might very properly be left to
them. That the Bermudez or Trinidad
lake asphalt is the best or only good as
phalt is denied by some competent au-
thorities; and, at any rate, If the con-
tractor will keep the pavement in
order for ten years, he is the party
concerned in getting good
materials. But the Philadelphia poll
ucians insist upon naming the variety
of asphalt to be used, the most immedi.
ate result of which is that there is no
among bidders: only the
trust can do the work with the material
