TO whiten Clothe,.

If clothes have become %discolored
through improper washing, try for a
few wash days the plan Of scalding
them just before putting them into the
last rinse water. This will whiten
them beautifully, although it is more
trouble.
Never take the clothes from the line

them get quite dry and then bring them
in, folding them properly when they
are taken from the line, as this viii

CITY FINANCES.

The paramount question now be-
fore the legislative boards of Padu-
cab is that of finance. Paducah is
now a second class city, and the
amount of revenue required to run
second class city is away out of
proportion to the amount of taxes
that can be raised on our total valu-
alton and assessment without bur-
dening the people. With property
valued higher than 1t is, or great
ef amount of property, Paducah
could get along quite we'll, but the
truth is, Paducah from a standpoint
of results, at least, is most too large
to be a third class city and too
small to be second class city
We are second class city, how
ever, and must remain one. The ad-
ditional expenses required to run
the city since the change of class
must be raised in some way, and the
suggestions and statements given
below are from the Lexington Her.
aid to the people of Lexington. Lex
ington is a second class city, but is
much larger than Paducah, and has
vastly more property on which to
collect taxes. Yet what would be
good for Lexington, especially In the
way of retrenchment, would be good
for Paducah-if we could afford II.
But to the Herald, here is what it
says:
"The annual reports of the yari-
GUS city officials for the past year
have been prepared and presented
to the mayor and general council or
will be within the next few days The
budget for the year will be made up

which II has made no effort whatev-

II is the present intention of the
city to establish an auxiliary fire
station with three men in Mechan-
lcsburg.
The agreement of the conference
last night is not conclusive. Should
the deadlock in the board of alder

or soon. committees could be APP
pointed and there would then be a
Joint finance committee, TO which
the apportionment could be referred
Should the above apportionment be
satisfactory to them, they could re-
port the ordinance as above outlin-
ed, and the two boards could then
vote on the ordinance. The boards
have to pass the apportlonment or
dinance as any other. however, hence
the work done last night is only pre-
liminary work.
It is impossible to determine what
the tax rate will be until the su-
rervisors of the city tax books have
completed their work and It is
known what the total valuation and
assessment of property for taxation
for city purposes amounts to.
