ONE EXHIBIT TO COST $4,000.

Kentucky will have the distinction
of installing one of the largest refrig-
Grating machines to be shown at the
Worlds fair. Mr.. Gardner T. Voor-
hees, the refrigerating engineer and
expert in charge of the refrigerating
department at the exposition, was in
Louisville short time ago and invit-
ed the Henry Vogt Machine company
to put in 200-ton refrigerating ma
chine at the fair. The invitation was
accepted and a contract signed to that
effect. A machine of 200 tons refriger-
ating capacity is about equivalent to
a machine that will make 100 tons of
ice each "a hours. The Henry Vogt
Machine company will expend $4,000
in making this exhibit

DEEP INTEREST MANIFESTED.

The failure of the Kentucky legisla-
ture to make an appropriation at its
last session left to the citizens of the
state only one chance to be properly
represented at the st. Louis worlds
fair next year This opportunity is
being taken advantage Of. The Ken
lucky Exhibit association was formed
to correct, in as great a measure as
possible, the mistake made by the
general assembly, and, with the united
effort of the citizens of the common
wealth, it will succeed. There is no
denying the fact that the movement
inaugurated by the association has al
ready stirred up more interest
throughout the state than would have
come from an appropriation in many

Street Improvement

The town trustees held special
meeting on Tuesday evening to con-
slider matters relating to the i'm
provement of the street. As a re-
suit of their deliberations one i'm
pOrtant conclusion was reached
to raise the street and sidewalk
grade on Main street. A raise of
three feet was considered about the
right heightb.
The question of funds is an i'm
portant one to the town. 1t would
require several thousand dollars to
make the desirable improvements,
while there is very little money on
hand. 1t would require a special
election to vote special tax, and
this would not raise sufficient
money. The problem will be part
ly solved, however, by assessing
the cost of the Main street work to
abutting property. This, we un-
derstand, the trustees have decided
to do, the town paying the expense
of raising the crossings.
For the information of those
who may not be familiar with the
q law of assessing street improve
ment to abutting property, 1t may
be stated that the tax is certified
up to the county assessor and is
col,ectable the same as any other
tax. 1t is probable that a way
will be found, however, to enable
the property owner to do his own
grading, in lieu of cash, if he SC
desires.
