THE WEATHER.
NEGLEcTING PUBLIc HEALTH.
Fair tdnight and Thursday.

NEGLECTING PUBLIC HEALTH.
The people of Paducah who are con
tinually complaining of bad sanitation,
should try Henderson's plan. The city
officials there. as here, have failed to
do anything of consequence to promote
the public health. and the ladies and
other good. public-spirited citizens have
taken up the cause.
A petition has been presented to the
mayor and council. containing the fol
lowing;
Gentlemen - We, the undersigned
citizens, respectfully petition your hon
orable body to cause the existing or
dinances providing for the sanitary con
dition of the streets and alleys of the
city TO be FAITHFULLY enforced. If
present ordinances are insufficient for
this much needed reform, then we re-
spectfully urge that new and adequate
ones be established To what extent
this work should be done by abutting
property owners or to what extent by
the city at large, you, in your wisdom,
can best determine; but we respectfully
insist that the work should be adequate
ly done in some way. We think that a
continuous inspection of our streets and
alleys should be instituted; that all
filth and debris should be speedily remov-
ed upon their appearance, and that those
who wantonly so litter our public ways
should be promptly and severely dealt
with. We think that during the grow
ing season weeds should be cut in our
streets and alleys as often as once a
month; and we think that all owners OF
real estate in our midst should be re-
quired to maintain it in such way as
will not affect injuriously the health
and decency OF the city. We think that
the public ways and private property
of the city should be kept in at least
as attentive a way as are the farming
lands of good farmers
1--WE most respectfully urge all the
foregoing. not only for the health of
the inhabitants. but on account of the
deoency and neatness of the city al
we'll"
In Paducah we have laws against FL
thy premises, alleys, streets and cutters
but the conditions are something awful.
There is an ordinance against sweep
ing dirt and trash from stores, and this
is daily: violated. Nevertheless, we
haze the prospect of an ordinance to
prevent expectorating in public places.
With the CUTTERS full of Shiny, stagnant
water, and the alleys and streets full OF
garbage. deeaying rats and cats and
Vegetables, why waste time on the ex-
pectoration evil until the greater evils
are done away with!

"a, CASES IN DAvIESS COUNTY.

Auditor Hager is still hot after Frank
Lucas, of Paducah, who claims to be
Auditors agent for the state at large.
Yesterdays Owensboro Inquirer says;
Auditors Agent Frank \. Lucas is
here prosecuting the cases against those
failing TO list property. There are in
all 1888 of these eases in Daviess county,
about fifty of which were filed by the
county agents. Messrs. Hays and Clark,
the largest OF which is against the Han
ning Distilling company for $4,000
for four years back taxes. This suit
was filed by the local agents.
The forenoon was spent by Judge
rriplett in calling the docket of these
ases and large number Of them were
disposed Of, l25 being dismissed, and
others were continued until Thursday,
when the defendants viii make their
lefense. In some of the eases where
there was no protest, judgment was en-
tered against them, and the property
in question was ordered listed for taxa
ton.
There seems TO be some doubt as To
whether or not Mr. Lucas is the adui-
tors agent, and il is quite likely that
this point will be raised Thursday.
Mr. Lucas was appointed by Auditor
Coulter to serve four years, and this
time has not yet expired, and he
claims that the present auditor W. ;.
Hager, has not the power to remove
him from Office, while ON the other hand
MIR Hagcr claims that be has the au-
thority to remove Lucas as revenue
agent and has issued an order removing
him.
The following letter was received here
by sheriff W. l. Short in regard to this
question.
Frankfort, ny, Aug. IS, 1904.
Mr. ". l. Short,
Owensboro, XII 3D.,
Dear Sir-Mr. Frank A. Lucas. a for,
mer revenue agent for the state 81

ing to continue in Office, and ! write Won
this to give you formal notice Of his
removal from the position, in the event
that he should place official paper, in
your hands for servise.

Sheriff Lee Potter today received the
following letter; "a

sheriff L. d. Potter,
Paducah. Nv.
My Dear Sir wish TO notify YOU
that Mr. Frank Lucas. who is attempt
ing TO act in the capacity of Revenue
Agent for the State at Large. was re-
moved from that Office by me on the
10Th of June. and James Campbell. Jr.
was appointed to fill the vacancy
As sheriff Of your county. you will
therefore not recognize Lucas a. Rev
enue Agent.
Very Truly Your,
S. w. HAGER, Auditor.
Mr. Lucas has been temporarily en-.
joined from acting as Auditors Agent
in Henderson county, the sheriff Of that
county having received the same instruc.
tons, and refused to serve Mr. Lucas
papers in several suits filed.
1t seems the state auditor has sent
the letters to sherhs all over the state
with a hope Of preventing Mr. Luca.
from getting any of his papers served.
Mr. Lucas is out Of the city today
and it is not known how he will meet
this last move of the auditor.
