Mr.. j. II. Happy at May
field.
HE NOW HAS NO OPPONENT

Postmaster F. NJ. Fisher returned
Saturday evening from Washington,
where he went on business connected
with the proposed improvement to
the Paducah government building.
1t is desired to spend $4,000 in
changing the Broadway front, and in
putting in new mail boxes, hard
wood finish and a few minor things.
Congressman Ollie James has pre-
pared the bill, and will introduce it
one day this week. 1t is believed
that If any appropriations at all are
made at this session of congress, the
one for these changes to the govern
ment building will be, particularly as
the supervising architect. in a way,
has fully approved 1t. 1t is not GER
tain, however, that any appropria-
tions will be made. The sentiment
seems to be against making any at
this session.
The so-called information pub
lished recently in local paper about
various fights for postoffiees in this
district was untrue in many particu-
lars. The reported fight against
Postmaster ]. H! Happy, of Mayfield,
was fabrication out of the whole
cloth. Mr.. Speight, of Mayfield, has
recommended Postmaster Happy,
who has, and who has had, no oppo-
nent in seeking the Office. Some OF
the other postotfice appointments in
this section have already been made,
while others will be as soon as it is
necessary.
Postmaster Fisher, in regard to
the appointment of postmaster in
Paducah, stated that thus far he has
no opponent.

INSURANCE. MEN
Will Have to BE Satisfied With Wire
Inspector.

The position of city electrical in
spector. is one of Importance and
while there will likely be many ap-
plications for it, it will have to be a
man of much experience and fully
competent to hold the position, who
is successful in the race, according
to a number of the municipal boards
this morning.
The insurance men were instru-
mental in creating this Office, and
the man selected will have to be ac-
ceptable to the insurance boards be-
fore he is elected. 1t is stated that
several local men will apply.
No announcements of applications
for the position has been made pub
lie, and will not be before the regu-
lar time of election, which will prob
ably be at the next meeting of the

ALL POSSIBLE

NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS
Says Alderman Miller. Chairman Of
the Finance Committee of the
Council.

I'VE will put the Third street
Island Creek bridge In good condi-
ton. and do anything that is neces-
sary to make IL safe" said Alderman
Miller today. street Inspector
Alonzo Elliott will report to the
council what il needs and we shall
direct that the necessary repairs be
done. As to new bridge there, we
can not make all the Improvements
we are asked for. this year. II is all
right for some people to come and
demand that we do this and that and
the other, and we have to go slow in
such matters. The taxpayers are
tired of the endless drafts on the
treasury that caused the very high
tax assessments of the past Few years
and we therefore intend to await the
completion of She board of super
yisors work, and see what the as
sessment amounts to before we de-
eide on anything. e
"All needed improvements Will be
made no matter in what department,
but we shall be SLOW TO take up any
new improvements. We have enough
work on hand and contemplated now.
That is my view of the matter ana
| believe is the opinion of my asso-
ciates on the two boards"

Damage to Streets.

The board of public works had a
good many complaints and reports
on the damage done by the rain yes
terday and last night. and the street
department forces were out today in
force repairing the damages as far
as possible.
In some localities the streets re-
sembled lakes. jefferson street,
from 9th to 18th streets was a sheet
of water, and Jefferson from goth
street out to the limits looked like a
creek.
Secretary of the board of works,
Saunders Fowler said today, 81 was
out yesterday afternoon and saw
some of the streets. 1t was an extra
ordinary rain and of course was dam
aging. Streets like West Jefferson,
however, will suffer until the curbs
and cutters are put down, as all
rain water is drained by the cutters.
| hope the new council will pass an
ordinance that we have favored FOR
some time, and which every heavy
rain shows the need of,-One order
ing that when any new streets are
made, concrete curb and cutters shall
he put down, also. The curb holds
the street from washing, and the gut
ters will take care of the water. I'm
I'll this is done, all the streets that
have no curb or cutters will wash
away every time we have hard
rain"
Sewer Inspector A. Frank said the
rains had done no damage to the
sewer system in any way and that
they were in good condition.

from taxpayers on the day set for It.,

the sentiment of the board seems to
be 10 assess every piece of property
as nearly right as possible. and let it
stay that way.
Complaints and protests are al
ways taken as a matter OF course.
The board member seen by a re-
porter said today that the aggregate
raises in McCracken county this year
will be in the neighborhood of a half
million dollars. This will be much
larger than the total raises for last
year.
The city supervisors are winding
mn their work ahead of time. They
have equalized the original assess
ment. and will today, tomorrow and
Wednesday hear complaints from
property owners whose assessments
have been raised.
The supervisors expect to spend
ahe next three days thereafter wind
ing up their work ad closing the
city tax books.
They decline to make an estimate
of the aggregate amount of raises
they have made, not having added
them up. but one stated that the total
raises will not amount to half NIL

The rains caused big rise in the
river here last night. The gauge
today registered 25.1 feet, which is
a rise of Al feet since Saturday and
SO feet since last night.
If the rainfall has been general
in the Ohio valley, local river men
look for a big stage of water.
The day has been cold, and raw
and seemingly pregnant of some
thing extraordinary. The weather
was the general topic of conversa-
tion with river men, and all agreed
it was remarkable, and the wise
