Most People Have No Idea How
Much is Never Paid.
The Circuit Clerk Spends Weeks Fig
uring Up the Cost In Gases
That Are Tried.
SOMETHING OF HOW 1T Is DONE.

Ever since vacation began In cir
cult court here Deputy Circuit Clerk
Will c. Kidd has been taxing costs
and a reporter today learned some
thing of the methods employed
About two thirds of the costs taxed
In court are paid, the other third has
to go to the loss column. 1t is esti-
mated that at least $4,000 in costs
is uncollected every year, and there
is no hope whatever in getting It.
Poor persons who bring damage
suits against corporations and lose
are not able to pay the costs which OF
course fall to the loser, and in such
cases the circuit clerk loses, too
Some cases are appealed to the APP
pellate court by attorneys who hope
to win out in the higher court, and
this calls for more expense to the
loser. II the plaintiff finally loses in
the higher tribunal, the costs have
increased and must go unpaid. In
such cases the cost amounts to a
great deal, and taking the number of
cases lost, the unpaid costs bills will
amount to many hundred dollars for
one term of court.
In cases where the loser is too
poor to pay there is nothing to at
tach and no way to make the cos
debt good except in some cases where
bond has been given for costs, so the
item must be set down in the loss
column.
A great many persons probably i'm
agine that when they get into court,
the payment of costs is compulsory
and that there is no way to get out
of ii. but court business is about like
other business,-so much cash and
so much credit, with the proportion
of profits and loss about the same as
mercantile establishments.
During vacation the deputy circuit
clerks work on the books taxing costs
and this is a job in a job. There are
hundreds OF cases which have to be
gone over and each order recorded
on the costs sheet. For each order
so much is charged and when the
total number of orders is learned,
the taxing begins. There are other
items of expense which go with it
and the clerk is kept pretty busy dur
ing vacations keeping up with the
business of the court.

A GOOD HAUL
Made by Revenue Agents During the
Past Two Years.

Louisville, Ky, July 27.-During
the past two years, or beginning
with January /, 1904, the collection
by revenue agents of delinquent tax
es due on omitted assessments of
property has amounted to 1884,
2SG.74. Added to this is the 20 per
cent penalty allowed by the stat
ute for enforcement of collection, ag-
gregating $30,S57.14. which brings
the total amount paid out by the
delinquents during that time to
$1S5,143.SS. As 1905 is not much
more than half over, 1t is expected
that there will be a considerable adj
dition to this amount before January
/, 1906.

THE GASOLINE CAN
MUST STAY OUTSIDE
Insurance Men Talk OF Further
Reforms.
Intend 60 Make Fire Insurance Risks
as Perfect as PossibIe-To Go
After the Gasoline Users.
PLANS NOT YET PERFECTED

Insurance people intend to perfect
their risks in Paducah as well as else
where as much as possible, and since
the reform in electric wiring was
started. the Insurance people have
begun to feel about for other i'm
provements.
Since the Louis Bodenheimer fire
which is supposed to have started
from a gasoline explosion in his tail
oring shop, the Insurance men have
been looking into the matter of gas
oline storage. In tailoring shops
some insurance people will not carry
Insurance unless gasoline is barred.
Gasoline is used in cleansing and is
almost indispensable, but many in
surance companies in other cities will.
not insure unless gasoline is KEEP
outside the building.
1t is said that such a step will be
made in Paducah and wherever gas
oline is stored, the risk will be in
creased or cancelled entirely There
are a number of groceries that keep
gasoline and some few tailoring shops
and in some instances the tailoring
shops are in the same building with
other concerns. which will affect the
other concerns just as much as the
tailor. II the insurance men increase
the rates on the risk.
Gasoline is just as dangerous as
bad wiring, it is said, and the under
writer's will adopt as stringent rules
in regard to It as they have in cleo
trio wiring.
The crusade in this respect has
been started all over the country and
viii be kept up until the risks are as
perfectly protected as possible to be.

Great Deal Towards Building
Up Paducah. -
CITY BEST IN THE COUNTRY

1t is unofficially announced that
the Illinois Central railroad will in
short time begin the sale of all
its property in the rear of the rail-
road hospital. This embraces several
blocks of valuable lots and the esti-
mated price by real estate men is I'm
the neighborhood of $4,000.
The /. c. owns the property back
to Oak Grove in the rear Of the
hospital but the hospital property is
owned by the hospital association.
The portion of the land to be sold
runs from Jefferson street back to
Trimble street. The land will be
plated and sold in lots. and Mr.. c.
e. Jennings has the contract as
agent.
Mr.. Jennings recently made a trip
to Chicago to confer with officials
and will be prepared in short time
to make a statement as to the meth
cd of sale. 1t is understood the lots
will be sold separately. The property
was bought when that portion of the
city was the next thing to wilder
ness, and in late years has increased
in value because of that portion of
the city rapidly becoming fashion
able residence portion.
Engineers have been working sur
veying the property and plating it.
The work is not yet finished. but
will be complete in a short time. The
sale will be one of the biggest and
most important held in the city in
years and a great deal of interest is
being taken in 1t by real estate men.
II will also open up a portion of
the city that will rapidly build up
in nice houses, and become one of
the prettiest parts of Paducah. 1t
will add immensely to Paducah's
growth and will be a fine thing for
the city, even If it does take our last
circus ground.
Evidence of Paducahs growth
multiplies daily. Mr.. Max B. Nahm,
of Bowling Green, one of the most
progressive men in the state, and a
man who has interests in many cities
of the state, is in the city and says
that he will re-invest every dollar of
his share of the public properties
sale right here in Paducah. He
says Paducah is not only one of the
best cities in Kentucky but one of
the best anywhere.
