GARBAGE SYSTEM
is BADLY NEEDED
Board OF Works Will Probably
Take IL up Today.
Regular Meeting of the Board and
It Is Probable Sewerage ESten-
sion WIN BE Discussed
A CLEAN CITY A HEALTHY ONE

The board of public works will
meet this afternoon in regular ses-
sion for the purpose of taking up
routine matters. hearing of reports,
etc, and il is more than likely the
board will bring up the matter of a
garbage removal system.
This system was started on a
small scale two weeks ago and the
people are having to be educated up
to it. The increase in refuse boxes
and the increased inclination on the
part of the merchants to assist in
this work is greatly encouraging to
the board of worl
An effort will be made at once to
have the system established perma-
nently in the business portion of the
city and then extended until all i'm
proved streets are taken in il being
impossible to maintain such sys-
tenn where streets are not improved.
The board will probably be ask
ed to extend at once, without the
further delay of committee meet
ings. ETC., the sewers to the High
school. The committee from the
board of health and school board
meeting in conjunction will appear
before the council and will probably
appeal to the board of works di-
rectly this afternoon. The three
boards have been cooperating lately
and much good has been done. the
result of the apparent necessity of
better sanitation.
City Engineer Washington will
report on street work, the extension
of sewers and other routine business
viii be taken up by the board.

TIMELY RESCUE
MISS ALMA HIGGINS, WHO HAS
VISITED IN PADUCAH, HAS
A CLOSE CALI.
Rescued In Lake Huron-Shc Was
Rescued By Boy After
Great Difficulty.

The following story from yester-
days st. Louis Globe Democrat will
be of interest in Paducah. The
young lady who had such a narrow
escape has visited the family of Mr..
w. f. Paxton. of West Jefferson
street, and is well known here, as
are her two sisters.
The Globe Democrat says:
Miss Alma Higgins, of 4434 For
est Park boulevard, daughter of
Frank S. Higgins, secretary of the
William Higgins leather company.
had narrow escape from drowning
recently while bathing in Lake HUI
ron Beach, Mich. Her rescue was eff
fected only after heroic efforts on
the part of two boys, who risked
their lives in the attempt.
"In company with a large party
of boys and girls, Miss Higgins was
bathing in the lake one Sunday af-
ternoon. the water was very rough
and the young people were having
great time jumping the waves"
Suddenly a large billow knocked
Miss Higgins off her feet. and, be-
fore she could recover her balance,
she was carried By the undertow far
out into the lake.

her cry for help. but as soon as her
danger was discovered. John A.
Lee, 17-year-old boy of Chicago,
H.. without a moments hesitation,
went to the rescue. Being an expert
swimmer, he reached the drowning
girl without difficulty and seized
her by the hair. Miss Higgins, how
ever, grabbed young Lee tightly. i'm
peding his movements. Both dsap-
peared beneath the waves. and upon
coming to the surface Lee was fore
ed to strike Miss Higgins in the face
rendering her unconscious. in order
TO make her loosen her death-like
grip on his arms. His strength was
by this time exhausted and the
young people again sank beneath
the waters.
I'm the meantime. a 16-year-old
boy who conducts a boathouse at the
beach, rowed out in a skiff and
reached the couple as they were
sinking for the third time. They
were carried to shore, where Miss
Higgins was revived with difficulty.
That night her condition became so
serious that her life was despaired
of. She had swallowed large
amount of sand. which the rough
weather had mixed with the waves,
causing a congestion of the lungs.
II was a week before she was able
to sit up in bed, and, while she has
now fully recovered from the effects
of her experience, she has been for
hidden by her physician to swim or
dance for sometime to come.
AS reward TOT tnelr courage in
rescuing Miss Higgins, the residents
of Huronia Beach presented young
Lee with a fine gold watch, and gave
the young boatman SIS in cash. Miss
Higgins went TO Huronla Beach the
early part of July with her sister,
Mrs. Ralph Niedringhaus. of Granite
City, Ill.,, who has summer cottage
there. She also visited her aunt, Mrs.
Frank Little.

IN LIYTLEVILLE
THE PEOPLE ARE VERY EAGER
TO GET STREETS.
School Children Have n Hard Time
Floundering About During
Muddy Weather.

The residents of Littleville who
paid FOR the saoliRS OF a seiooi last
season to save their children a long
walk to the Franklin school, are
this season complaining of the city
failing to improve the roads. A petit
ton was placed with the legislative
boards asking for graded streets.
but the committee reported that as
most of the property is private and
not dedicated to the city the streets
cannot be improved.
There is a move on foot now to
have property owners dedicate the
property. One resident stated this
morning that the property owners in
Littlevile paid taxes the same as
those in the heart of the city and
thought they were entitled to some
consideration. During bad weather
the Pool road, by which the children
are forced to come TO town, is mud
dy and hardly passable in some pla-
ces. The residents asked for the
graveling of this road. outlining a
route, but say they were turned
down. Another petition will be circu-
lated and every effort made to have
the desired improvement made.
