THE BOARD OF WORKS.

The board of public works seems
to be too modest to accomplish the
aims Of its creation. 1t should have
its rights and powers defined and
then assert them. The charter gives
II control of the streets. The proper
procedure In making street improve
ments. 1t seems, would be for 1t to
esk the general council to pass the
necessary ordinance. II should then
advertise for bids, award the con-
tract. and IL necessary have the coun-
Gil ratify it. The councils only other
prerogative would be to allow the
money when the work was finished.
Boards OF works in other Kentucky
cities, II Is alleged. exercise even
more authority than this. They ask
for necessary ordinances. and get
them. They let all contracts. and do
rot submit them for ratification. The
councils only duty and authority is
to enact the ordinance for the i'm
provement, and at Its completion al
low the money.
ihio 10 III siticot noWtNSi, Wntit
the board of works and council work
in harmony for the public good,
which they should do here. Where
there Is a continual clash the general
public may expect nothing but petty
conflict. spite work, and continual
delay in public Improvements.
II the board of public works in
Paducah had any get-up-and-get
about IT,. II would have taken steps
10 find out It's prerogatives and pow
ers long ago. To find these out might
save the taxpayers great deal OF
money and trouble.
The board here is composed of
three progressive men. but II Is
hampered by as unprogressive, pro-
vincial an administration as ever
progressive men had to contend with.

Hon. John Tighe, No. es Remsen St.,
Cohoes, N. Y, Member Of Assembly
from the Fourth district, Albanycounty,
N. Y, writes as follows:
"Peruna has my hearty Endorsement
as a restorative tonic of superior merit.
At times whenI have been completely
broken down from excess of work, so
that my faculties seemed actually at a
standstill, Peruna has acted as a healing
restorer, starting the machinery Of mind
and body afresh with new life and
energy.
recommend IL to a man tired in
mind and body as a tonic superior to
anything 1 know Of and well worthy
serious consideration" ~. Tighe.
Excess of work so common in our
country causes impaired nerves, leading
to catarrh and catarrhal nervousness.
a disease that is responsible for half Of
all nervous troubles.
Peruna cures this trouble because it
cures catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
