Daily Thought.
FURNISH THE HOSPITAL.

Why is not the city hospital, which
has been completed for several
weeks, furnished and used? What
was the idea in building II, to keep
it for an ornament and have pa
tients carried down there and allow
cd to derive inspiration and relief by
looking at the outside?
There IS no excuse for the delay
that has already marked the furnish
ing of the building. When Paducah
found IL necessary to equip two new
fire stations, the money was secured
without the least trouble. When the
administrator: for some reason,
wanted to buy for graveyard,
farm assessed at two or three thous-
and dollars and pay $4,000 for II, no
difficulty was encountered in getting
the farm, although 1t is not needed
now and will probably not be used
for months and possibly a year or
two.
When II comes to furnishing the
city hospital. however, an institution
needed every day, the city suddenly
finds itself in hard lines, and weeks
and months must needs be consumed
in trying to find where the money Is
coming from!
The concensus of public opinion
seems to be that the mayor and the
remainder OF the administration
should get the money for furnishing
the hospital as they get other money
when they find something they want
pretty bad. The people think the
mayor and his able assistants should
get the money for the hospital as
they got money for building and
equlpping two new fire stations, for
an additional cemetery at cost OF
$4,000. and for other such things.
And the general opinion is that
they ought to get II pretty quick.

ARGUMENT BEGINS.
Temporary Injunction Asked For by

the Street Car Company.
The motion of the Paducah City
Railway company for a restraining
order against the city to prevent the
reconstruction of South Third street
until the car company's franchise has
been construed by the courts, is be-
ing argued before Circuit Judge Reed
this afternoon. Attorneys Hendrick.
Miller & M~rble have been employed
to assist Solicitor Ed. Puryear.
Wheeler Hughes and Berry are
attorneys for the street car compan =,
and no decision will probably be rem
dered until late this afternoon. If
then.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that II a temporary injunction is
granted, the city cannot proceed with
the work by giving bond, which 1t is
talking of doing.
