30 LIGHTS
Are Now Out-Plant Crippled, But
Doing Well.

Although the city electric light
plant is running with three arma-
lures short and on one boiler, only
one circuit of 80 lights is out.
Three armatures were burned but
one has been re-wound and the 9TH
ers will be wound by the time the
boiler, which is being repaired. is
finished. There are seven fiues to put
in one boiler and since the work be-
gan the plant has run on the other
boiler, carrying a little more steam
than ordinarily.
The downtown section of the city
and those sections where robberies
are more likely to occur, are kept
lighted, and only the places where
the least danger exists are without
street lights.
Supt. Keebler thinks the plant
will be running full capacity in few

MAKING A GREE PORT"

To show the liberality of some
cities in their dealings with enter
prises that mean a good deal to bus
mess community the following article
from a st. Louis newspaper with ref
erence to an article recently brought
up in the councils is given.
THE council ways and means COM
mittee has agreed to make st. Louis
"a free port"
Under the present ordinance gov
erning the harbor and wharf of st.
Louis, what is known as a tonnage
tax is provided. which yielded the
city treasury about, $4,000 last
year
"Steamboatmen contend that the
tonnage tax has hampered the de,el-
opment of the local river trade ma
terially.
"All boats owned by st. Louis tax
payers were compelled to pay tax
of ~ cents a ton for docking ~ this
port. Steamboats, owned by resi-
dents of other states were compelled
to pay a tax of az cents a ton.
"The steamboatmen requested that
the tonnage tax and even wharf rent
ais be abolished. The ways and
means committee compromised with
the river men by abolishing the ton
mage tax and allowing the wharf rent
ais to stand.
Steamboats, are only charged
wharf rental when they establish reg.
ular docks or landings. A boat can
tie up to the plain wharf and load OF
unload across a stage landing with
out being asked to contribute to the
city treasury"
Every merchant, in any line of
business in Paducah. knows what
the river trade means to the city

trouble Is not that everybody is not

assessed correctly There is room for
Improvement both In the city and
county assessments. Everyone knows
that taxable property in the city of
Paducah Is worth very much more
than the assessment which is sup
posed to be so per cent of the real
value. The haul made in this county
by auditors agents. the last one taxi
ing out about $4,000. shows how the
assessors have been doing their duty.
la order to be fair to the county and
city as a whole, and the property
owners and residents as individuals,
something should be done to get cor
rect assessments in both city and
county.

INCORRECT ASSESSMENTS.

The assessment of McCracken
county for this year is practically
complete. Tomorrow is the last day
on which protests may be filed with
the board, and the latter expects TO
then adjourn. The total raise will
this year amount to about $3.50, 900.
Last year 1t was $500, 900. One hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars will
bring in only $3.50 more in county
and state taxes.
The county assessment is very in
complete, 1t is claimed, and ought to
be at least two million dollars more
than It is. The land in the county
outside the city of Paducah, accord
ing to the county assessment, is
worth only little over a million
dollars. This is unreasonable on the
face of II.
County supervisors claim that I'M
der the present laws there is little
chance that the assessment of the
county will ever be what II should.
Some of them admit that it ought
to be about s12,000,000 instead Of
about s1O,O0O,0O0. There seems to
be a rule that no assessment is to
be raised or fixed at any particular
amount, II the supervisor represent
ing the district In which the property
is located, objects. There is no law
for this, but IL seems to be sort Of
courtesy that they extend TO one an
other.
III the county assessment were
what II Is claimed II should be, the
county would collect about $26,40O
more than II has been heretofore.
The city assessment is about So
600, 900, making difference of only
about one million dollars between
the value of city property and that
in the entire county.
According to one of the superyi-
sors, there is no way to get at the
value of a persons property unless
il is sold or transferred.
For instance one man recently
bought about 35 acres Of unimproy-
ed land across from his farm, He
maid $4,000 for the land, and yet
his entire improved farm, with
houses, cultivated fields and all
amounting TO 70 acres-double the
amount of land he paid $4,000 for
was assessed at $500, and when
the supervisors raised him to $4,000
on it, he came in and seemed 10 De

this city, which occurred a few days

are SO far out of the ordinary as to
be of interest to a great many, as he
had travelled all over several states.
and will be remembered by large
number of people.
Mr. Reynolds was native of Henry

county for many years. He was twice
married, his first wife being Miss Win

five years ago, and when her coffin
was made Mr.. Reynolds had one made

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. c. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Although trade reports are still ir-
regular and in many cities below ex-
pectations, there has been improvement
in response to higher temperature and
less rain. Manufacturing activity is
fully maintained in textile fabrics, and
there is an enormous output OF iron
and steel, despite some reductions from
last months record-breaking rate of pro-
duction. Building operations are large
and materials in excellent demand. For
eign commerce for the past week at this
port shows splendid gain, compared
with 1904, imports increasing $3,I37,o44
and exports gaining $I,47o,3o5. All re-
turns for May make favorable COMPARE
sons with the same month last year, rail
way earnings increasing per cent,
while bank earnings rose 3I.3 per cent.
Textile manufacturers are in strong
position, buyers gradually approaching
the changed situation. There is little
speculative buying, but more disposition
to provide for future requirements.
Prices are very firm. Further weakness
has developed in packed hides, the only
supporting factor being the light sup
ply of cowhides that are sought by tan
ners of upper leather. Country hides
are in relatively better position, and
South American dry hides are hrmer
here than in Europe. Supplementary fall
contracts are still arriving at New Eng
land footwear factories from statesmen
in the West, and sample orders for
spring lines are also received.
Failures this week in the United
States are 2I6. against 1913 last week,
I'll the preceding week and 227 the
corresponding week last year. Failures
in Canada number 90, against 20 last
week, 10 the preceding week and &c
last year"
