solicitor to Investigate-Companies'
Managers Deny the Charge.

A petition was read from the
board of works last night stating
that the telephone companies had
been readjusting city electric wires,
in order that they be saved the ex-
pense of putting up taller poles. 1t
is alleged by the board of works,
which acted on the suggestions OF
other officials, that the telephone
companies move the city wires, but
the managers of the telephone COM
panies claim they do not, except by
permission.
Manager A. l.. Joynes, of the East
Tennessee company, stated this
morning. that in several instances
poles of the city had leaned a little
and thrown the city wires against
their poles or across their wires,
causing trouble, but that they al
ways had permission from the city
electrician to readjust the wires and
that they had few such places in the
city. The methods employed in re-
adjustment were such that no dam
age is done the city wires. Man.
ager Joynes stated he was willing to
make any changes the city wanted,
but that the matter apparently had
been exaggerated.
City Solicitor James Campbell
stated that he would look into the
matter today and see il any ordi-
nance was violated, and il 1t has
been will take action in the courts,
as he has been directed to do.

Q y FOR FRANKFORT
He Expects That Desired Legis.
latiOn Will BE Enacted.
Alderman Oscar Starks Is Now Act
ing Mayor of Paducah for
Few Days.
THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS

The mayer was busy this morning
attending to pressing business that
needed his attention before going to
Frankfort TO attend the conference of
the mayors of the second-class cities
and of the legislative committee on
municipalities. when seen by a Sun
representative this morning.
1--WE hope to accomplish a great
deal" he said. "The mayors of Gov
ington. Lexington and Newport will
all be there, and the legislation we
want pushed through at this session
of the legislature, we think. will be
passed without any trouble. We
have found a good many things in
our present charters that need chang
ing. We only learn, you know. by
experience. expect to be gone two
or three days; any way. ] shall stay
as long as it is essential. | have no
fear of things not going all right in
my absence. You Republicans are
welcome to the mayors Office for a
few days. and you can show the peo-
pie what you would give them il you
had republican mayor"
Mayor Yeiser was born at Dam
vile. Ky. only sixty-five miles from
Frankfort, and hopes to be able to
visit his old home before returning
home. He left at noon for Frank
tort.
During his absence Mr.. Oscar
Starks. president of the aldermanic
board, will be acting mayor.
The mayor says we have a good
council, and says he is anxious to
work hand in hand with It for any
thing and everything that will ad-
vance the city's welfare. lie had
no comment TO make on the appor-
tionment ordinance brought in last
night.
Some of the proposed amendments
to the- second-elass charter agreed on
at the Lexington conference. and
which have since been embodied in
bills 10 be considered by the legisla-
tive committee on municipalities. are
as follows:
Anncxing Subarbs.
The first agreed on was extension
of city limits. Views focused in the
act passed for the benefit of Louis
Vile. and its provisions were finally
adopted Under 1t cities of the sec
ond class would be enabled to annex
or cut off territory by ordinance. the
property owners affected having the
right to appeal to the circuit court.
sewers. streets and Sidewalks.
A proposed amendment of especial
Importance to Paducah would give
the council authority by ordinance to
have streets and alleys constructed
and reconstructed. sewers built and
sidewalks laid without the consent
of abutung property owners. Such
powers are now enjoyed by cities OF
the fourth class. Under such an act.
ten year bonds are issued for the pay
ment of the cost of the Improvement,
and remain lien on the abutting
property. The contractor receives the
bonds. and usually. disposes of them
at once. Probably Paducah's most
crying need is better streets. side
walks and sewers. Under the char
ter today, original improvement can
be made only upon the petition of a
majority of those affected.
Raising Revenues.

Park Commissions.

To place beyond challenge the le-

amendment be asked which would

boards, with defined powers.
The Paducah sun., 1906-01-16
City Jailer.

Another item urged by the visiting
mayors, some OF whom have discord
to contend with. was to have strick-
en- out the clause fixing the minimum
salary of the city jailer. One OF the
river cities Is now in the throes OF
a contest between the mayor and the
city jailer. This recommendation
was adopted.

Annual Assessment.

To make yearly assessments was
another suggestion embraced. The
last charter provides for quadrennial
assessments of real estate, improve.
ments being added annually. Prop
erty frequently is greatly enhanced in
value in single year, and annual
assessment would allow the city to
enjoy taxes on the increased value.
The Paducah sun., 1906-01-16
Precautionary Measure.

To safeguard the city should there
be deadlock in the administration
over apportionment and levy ordi-
nances, and the time for its passage
elapse. it was agreed to ask for. an
amendment which would continue
the apportionment and levy of the
preceding year in force. Were this
not done, the city would be left with
out authority to levy and collect a
tax.
The Paducah sun., 1906-01-16
City Depository.

Under the charter. the city treas
urer is allowed to select the deposit
tory and the city receives no interest
on deposits. In Covington the treas
urerinaugurated the plan of Offering
this patronage to the highest bidder.
In lieu of paying no interest on de
posits. the bank selected loans the
city money at less than two per cent.
An amendment to be submitted would
authorize the council to select the
depository, awarding the business to
the highest bidder.

FOR POOL CHAMPION.
keogh and Hueston Hook Up at- Butt
 falO Next Week.

The Jerome Keogh- William Hues- ton worlds championship pool match will be decided in Convention hnII. Buffalo, the last three days of next week. Pool experts of the country are becoming more and more Inter- ested 1n the game, which promises to be close reproduction of the De Oro-Keogh match, which abounded In sensationalism, two year ago. Hues- ton is one of the really great pool players of America. There are plen- ty of high-class pool sharks, so-called. but few really great masters of tho game, and Hueston is one of these.
 Hueston but two years ago toured New York state in cog, and the beot- ing up he gave the local cracks of the neighbOrhood still fingers in their memory. He took in Rochester. where he won from Tallman; Ithaca. Syracuse, Binghamton and many otl1.i CT cities, and won stacks of grecn-| backs downing the local champions. For the occasion Huest0n made him. self up as college boy, with rs{l. white and blue sailor and bull dor pipe, and, being naturally of slight and youthful build, known as tho Blonde Kid he turned the trick with his skill in every place he visit- ed.
 In the St Louis tournament in 1905 Hueston tied with De Gro and KeoGh and was but narrowly defeated In tho play-off.
