Special coupons of votes will be

attention to the fact that subscrip-

what they will be worth in March.
For instance: 40c will pay for The

you to only 40 votes. A years sub
scrlption, s4.so. will entitle you to
100 votes, II paid now; in March.

Dayless county is $12,73s,OG2, Last
years assessment was sl3,llS,9S7,
making this years assessment $3.50

PROvEMENT ORDERED.
Government Engineers win Report
on the Feasibility ~ Various
Projects Talked Of.
TO BEGIN SOON As POSSIBLE

Inc reports from washington rela-
tive to survey Of the Ohio river Is
of unusual interest In Paducah, be-
cause this territory is included in the
survey. and It is probable that the
United States engineers attention
will at that time. II not before, be
called TO the danger OF the bank cav
ing in at Livingston Point and other
places, complaint of which has been
made for the past several years.
II Is hoped that the government
can be induced to take up the matter
before the survey is made, but II II is
not II will be taken up then.
Word from Washington Is that the
bill OF the rivers and harbors com
mittee reported to the house of rep
resentatives includes an appropria-
tlon for a survey of the Ohio from
Pittsburg to Cairo.
What has been announced as a
permanent survey has been finished
as far as the mouth of the Little
Miami river.
There seems to be no opposition to
the bill for more appropriations, and
If the bill passes. the money for the
lower river survey will be available
at once and work will be begun be-
fore the summer ends.
Another important feature of the
bill is an additional appropriation
for raising the dams in Pittsburg
harbor from a six-foot to a nine-foot
stage.
This Is taken by leaders in the
Ohio Valley Improvement Associa-
tion as equivalent to a guarantee
that the canalization of the Ohio
river will be pushed as rapidly as
possible and that 1t will all be made
on a nine-foot stage basis.
There is no mention of the Hen
derson dam, or any permanent i'm
provements on the lower river look
ing to a nine-foot stage, but advo-
Gates of river improvement believe
that when a survey is made and re-
ported IT will be to get appropria-
tions for dams in this neighborhood.
The survey ordered by the bill will
be made by a special board consist
ing of three army engineers to be
designated by the secretary Of war.
and will be complete investigation
of the commerce of the Ohio, present
and potential as well as an investi-
cation of the best manner in which
to take care of this commerce.
The survey will be begun practl-
cally as soon as the bill becomes q
law.
A feature OF the bill is the inser-
tion of a number of projects for
which appropriations are made con-
ditlonal upon the improvement be-
ing shared by the state or munich
pality benefited.
They include the purchase OF locks
and dams In the Little Kanawha
river. west virginia, upon the ac-
QUESTION of the franchises, locks and
dams belonging to private corpora
tion for $4,000, which amount is a
part OF $163.000 conditionally ap-
proprlated for the project, and for
lock and dam No IL in the Muskin-
gum river. $4,000 upon the ex-
penditure of 100000 by the state
of Ohio for the improvement OF the
Ohio canal, connecting Musklngum
river with Lake Erie.
The bin carries authorization for
franchise to the Cumberland River
Improvement Company to construct
locks and dams in that river at a cost
of s1OOO,OOO and charge toll for
their use.
