sMITHLAND FOLK

The postoffice department has ask
ed for new bids on the Calvert double
daily mail route, and IL may not be
long till Smithland will have mail
twice day from the railroad, says
today's Smithland Banner. This
will give us the Paducah papers
about fourteen hours after they are
printed.
There is some talk now OF asking
the department to establish mail
route from Paducah to Smithland, by
water, and make the steamer Royal
mail packet, making Ledbetter.
When the water is too low for the
packets to run. this would be n great
convenience to the people of this
section. This would also put the
evening papers of Paducah here in a
few hours after they are published.
Smithland is sure to get something
good in the near future. There is
more enterprise here today than has
been exhibited by the people of the
town for many years, and IL Ii certain
to be rewarded.

TELEPHONE ORDINANCE


This morning Attorneys James
Campbell Sr., and Hal Corbett held
a conference regarding the telephone
franchise ordinance and II Is proba-
BILE that special meeting of the leg
islative boards will be called within
the next week to pass on the plans
outlined by the attorneys.
City Solicitor T.. II. Puryear was
not present on account of other busl-
ness, but authorized the other attor-
neys forming the committee to go
ahead and submit their agreement to
him for ratification.
The ordinance they have decided
on, II is understood makes II impossi-
Bile to charge bigger rates than at
present, leaves all the licenses intact,
where in the other one all were elimi-
mated except an annual license. and
makes II possible for the council to
regulate the franchise in future.
IL Is likely that II the franchise
ordinance as above outlined were
agreed to by the legislative boards,
no telephone company would give
ten cents for it. so the city would be
unable to sell 1t when 1t was put NJ
for sale.

Messrs. ED Bridges and James j.
Moran, of Wabash, Ind, arrived last
evening to close the contract with the
city for reconstructing South Third
street.
Yesterday the brick we're tested,
and the result showed that the Pee.
bles' brick stood the test best, Gales
burg second, Ashland and Ironton
third, Evansville fourth, Metropoli-
tan Paving Brick fifth, Chattanooga
fire brick sixth, the Union payer of
Sciotoville, Ohio, seventh the Ban
non brick of LOUISVILLE, eighth, and
the Chattanooga shale brick ninth.
The brick that stood the best test
yesterday would make the cost of
the street, on the entire job, about
$3.50 less than If Galesburg brick
were used, the price per thousand be-
ing $21.S5 for the Galesburg and
S15.20 for the other. The only obsta-
Gle is that the board of works did not
know II the PEBBLES brick could be
shipped here by river with the neces-
sary regularity, and If the company
can furnish 1,400,0 900 as the work
progresses, with the required regu-
larity. A message was sent to the
