Efforts to be Made to Have a
Vote on Issuing Bonds.
Project Revived on Account Of Street
Improvement Bond
Talk.
DESIRE SEPARATE

Menu ers of the medical profession
of Paducah have begun to revive tie
project of having a vote on issuing
bonds for a new city hospital taken Of
the November election. The hospital
proposition was sprung early in the
year as a result of the growing need
for new hospital, but nothing was
ever done with it. II was brought be-
fore the boards and afterwards decid-
ed to wait and have a vote taken at
the fall election. Since the talk of
having a 800, 900 bond issue voted on
began in the local boards the doctors
have started a revival Of their hospit-
al project, believing that it is of equal
importance.
One prominent doctor said today
that while he believed a vote could be
taken on o general bond issue for pub
lie improvements, he believed the
members of the profession preferred
to have the vote on the hospital bond
Issue taken separately. About $25, 900
worth Of bonds will be required to
build the hospital, and the doctors do
not anticipate any trouble in carrying
it, but are not certain Of its fate should
it be included in . larger bond issue,
which might be defeated where a
smaller one would not.
The municipal boards will be asked
to provide q separate vote for the new
city hospital bonds.
