Much Interest in the Third St.
Project.
Aldermen Intimate They Do Not Like
Brick Sidewalks-Want Them
Uniform.
BOARD OF WORKS BOTHERED

The board Of public works will
meet tomorrow afternoon and the
principal business will be the draw
ing Of ordinances providing for re-
constructing the streets settled on by
the boards.
There is much speculation as to
whether or not the board of alder
men will ratify the action of the
lower board in permitting proper
ty owners to build either brick or
concrete sidewalks on South Third
beyond Adams. Several aldermen
have specifically stated they would
not stand for it and if the street is
to be improved the Improvement
must be uniform.
The board of public works will
draw up all ordinances possible by
Thursday night in order that the
board of aldermen may pick its
choice and settle on ordinances and
have the work ready to begin by
spring.
The board will probably order the
resumption of work on the Kentucky
avenue sewers and also the Second
street, Broadway to Kentucky avenue
reconstruction as soon as better
weather arrives. The board has much
to look after but the members are
working hard and hope to have the
cooperation of both boards in the
street improvements.
The board viii also hear a report
of the city electrician relative to re-
pairs to armatures at the city cleo
trio light plant. The work is pro-
crossing nicely but it will be several
days yet before the armatures are
all completed and ready for service

eral weeks ago, and had been detain-
ed at his home in Cincinnati for
sometime on account of the illness of
his mother, returned to Paducah
last night and is a guest at the Pal

Mr. Gano is only half through here
and found things when here before in

cal changes on penalty of having fire
insurance rates raised again in case
of refusal.
Mr.. Gano, assisted by Commission

plete the work as soon as possible
Written notice will be served on the
owners of all houses found to be inn
properly wired, and in case of failure
to comply with such notices, the un-

likely several weeks will be required
to get things in shape.

GET OUT AND HUSTLE.

In every community there is a class
of young men who are anxious and
willing to make a success of life and
who never get a start. They are al
ways waiting for an opportunity to
begin and the opportunity never
comes, says the Memphis Scimitar
The lash of necessity does not
scourge them into making an oppor-
tunity because they have friends or
families to care for thenf and keep
them from want and they hesitate to
get out and do something for them
selves.
They want to begin too high up
and believe that anything lower down
is beneath their dignity. This is a
wrong conception.
There is no work beneath the dig
nifty of any one. There is no work
that cannot be dignifed by doing it
well. There is no work that is digni-
fed when not done well. Doing a
thing well does not mean to excel
oneself at each successive effort-to
do ones best. Our greatest men be-
gan life in the most humble capacity.
in the most mental capacity at times
In a free country where opportunity
is equal and where effort puts the
stamp of success on action no young
man should hesitate to plunge in.
Everybody cannot be a bank cash
Ter, and there are a good many bank
cashiers who wish they were differ
entity engaged.

PROCEED WITH THE WORK

The administration seems deter
mined to hang up the street improve
ments for which the city voted bonds
as long as possible. 1t is obvious
from the antics of the majority fac
ton that it will be long time be-
fore anything is doing. The board of
works recommends, the council acts,
and the aldermen amend Then the
ordinance, if it is an ordinance, goes
back 10 the board of works. is chang
ed, investigated some more, and
the council takes another crack at it.
The aldermen decline to concur and
in this way the various ordinances
necessary before street improvements
can be made in Paducah may drift
about from one board to the other for
months without a single thing being
accomplished.
The council has now ordered pave
ments built according to a certain
plan on South Third street, and it is
reported the aldermen will refuse to
concur, because the aldermen sensi-
bly, want the payements uniform. Con-
crete would cost little more and
would be more substantial and more
attractive. We believe the people will
be glad in the long run if they go to
the extra expense of putting down
concrete, for it will give more salts
faction.
If it is true that the ten year plan
Of paying for these improvements
has to be denied the property own
ers, it will be unfortunate for some,
but need not delay the work. The
property owners on Second, Third,
Fourth and Fifth streets, and Broad
way, had no ten years in which to
pay for the improvements. 1t would
be better for some to have
the privilege, but if they haven't II,

even with a mortgaged house is
better off than the hundreds of citi-
zens who haven't a house at all. A
man who hasn't a piece of property
worth improving hasn't much, and
would be little worse off should he
lose it. The improvement for which a
property owner is expected to pay
makes the property proportionately
more valuable, in addition to the APP
pearance and. conveniences result
ing from such Improvements.
The general idea seems to be that
this improvement should be begun as
soon as possible. The cost may be
hard on some, but the benefit to the
general public and the city will be
great, and is what is most sought
after.
