A Commercial club, an organization
devoted exclusively to promoting the
commercial and civic welfare of a
city, is not an institution dedicated to
the development of the altrnistic tenn
permanent, but its objects appeal to
the good business sense OF business
men. Selfish instincts are not offended
by the plans of such an organization,
and its growth Is only proof of the fact
that the public is beginning to real
ize that the prosperity of community
is shared to a greater or less degree
by every member of II, while their IN
terests are so intermingled that con-
certed effort is the most certain
means of advancement for all. Not
only is II wise for every wealth pro-
ducer in a community to join such an
organization. but 1t is the most in
consistent folly for a man to join il,
pay in his money and then not lift a
finger or devote moment OF his time
10 promote It's success or prevent aus
failure. His dues constitute an in
vestment. The value of the invest
ment depends on the number of peo-
pie interested in the same project.
Fifteen minutes of the time Of a men,

cure new member. II every member
would do as some have already. the
membership would be doubled and
the value OF each investment in the
organization multiplied beyond com
putation. This is only suggesting
that a man take advantage of an OPP
portunity, not simply that he perform
duty.

by manipulation, to restore the norma

they are very successful.

Since there is considerable criti
cism and some Misunderstanding IN
regard to the action of the commit
flee of the whole of the general coun
ell in the matter of repairing the
municipal lighting plant. 1t would be
well TO make a thorough investiga'
ton before letting the contract tc
any particular concern. Some cap
tious criticisms offered seem to be
inspired by personal malice and 9th
, srs by politics, but the patient, con-
fidifig public. which The Sun under
takes to represent, and to which the
city officials are at last responsible,
takes no heed to these voices, while
at the same time, it does demand OF
its representatives that same careful
consideration of public affairs, man
is expected to give to his own. We
do not believe that any member OF
the general council desires to see the
municipal lighting plant fail, nor do
we believe that any member acted
without what he considered due con-
sideration But. even presuming that
the contract agreed upon is the best
for the city's interests. no harm will
be done in satisfying everybody that

plete for 200 street lights. The ex-
ception was the bid of the General
Electric company, which provided for
machinery capable of generating cur
rent for 800 lights and for goo lamps
with hangers and cutouts complete.
accompanied by a guarantee that the
power now installed in the plant OF
the city Is ample to produce 500
street lights of the style upon which
the bid was made. The amount OF the
various bids ranged from s17.53S TO
$4,000 with various allowances for
portions of the old machinery AMI
lamps) for generators. lamps, en-
CINE and boiler complete. While the
bid of the General Electric company.
for generators of 300-light capacity
and zoo lamps complete was s11.-
$40. These bids are all on file with
the clerk of the board OF public
works and are each accompanied BY
a certified check for not less than 10
per cent of the amounts OF the bids.
This committee by a unanimous
vote of its members. the members OF
the board OF public works voting in
opposition. decided to recommend to
this honorable body the acceptance
of the bid submitted by the General
Electric company.
This committee was moved to this
action by the following reasons:
First. because such action will save
to the city the sum of 5000 over
the amount OF the next lowest bid
der. Second. with the present rapid
evolution of electrical machinery. we
believe Il to be the better part of
wisdom. that the city avail itself Of
the most advanced type OF lamp that
is now produced. Third. because of
the guarantees that are submitted
with the bid and the provisions
which will be incorporated in the
contract. IL one Is authorized by this
body between the city and the Gen
eral Electric company. for the protec-
ton of the interests of the city.
These guarantees not only cover the
mechanical construction OF the ma
ohinery TO be included in the pur-
chase, but also guarantee substan-
ilal reduction In the cost OF opera
ton. In other words. Il Is the judg-
ment OF the members OF this com
mittee. that il a contract Is entered
into between the city OF Paducah and
the General Electric company. for
the machinery offered by that compa-
ny. that the city will receive the best
market at a substantial saving In
first cost to the city. and system
that can be operated more economi-
cally than any other system that has
been brought under the observation
of this committee.
Our judgment in this decision has
been affected In measure by the
contents OF the correspondence from
other cities where this style of lamp
is now being operated. which is APP
pended hereto and made part of

The general council met as com
mittee of the whole last night and
recommends a contract forfurnishing
lights to the city for increasing the
capacity of city lighting plant with
the General Electric company at a
cost OF $1,000.
Mayor Yeiser presided over the
meeting and those absent were Coun'
cilmen Duval and Dipple and Alder
man Chamblin. Chairman Palmer, of
the light committee. reported recon-
mendations of the magnetic lamp.
Members OF the board. who were not
on the light committee and who
knew little about the proposition,
moved to permit other representa-
tlves OF lighting concerns to speak,
but this was fought by other mem
bers Of the board as II would simply
be repetition of the work of the
committee which had heard the rep
resentatives speak for four hours on
ly two days before.

netlte lamp carried. The proposition
is to furnish the city with battery
of two dynamos for furnishing a ca
paclty of 800 lights in a pinch only.

for but 200 lamps. No new engines
go with the dynamos.

opinion as he had not had time to ex-

CLERKS LIABLE.
Freight Employees Must
Pay for Errors Made
in Rate Information
MEN REBELLIOUS

The local freight office of the Bur-
lington railway received letter yes
terday from the general offices in Chi
cago, announcing that rate clerks would
in the future be held strictly respon-
sible for mistakes made in quoting
rates to shippers. II a clerk gives out
a. rate under that quoted in the tariff
book he must pay the difference out of
that the new rate law compels it to
take this measure with its employees.
Heretofore it has been the practice of
the freight offices to charge mistakes
In rates to profit and loss. The Inter
state Commerce Commission discovere ed
during it's investigation of the rail-
roads, that this profit and loss column
was used to shelter secret rebates.
Clerks mistakes occurred too frequently
to be bona f1de, said the commission.
and 1t ruled that no more alleged mis-
takes should find their way into the
profit and loss column.
The commission reserved the right
to look over the books each year to
see that its rulings are carried out.
The railroads have decided that the
only way to avoid explanations, is to
compel the clerk who makes a mistake
to pay the loss out of his own pocket.
The Burlington is the only Western
road which has made this ruling. The
Southern Pacific is expected to follow.
The men say that the ruling works an
Injustice on them because OF the COM
plicacy of the tariffs and the frequency
of mistakes.
