colored fellow rolled the whites of his
eyes and laughed heartily.

New CounciImanic Rule.

Members of the council are think
ing of establishing a new rule to IA
cilitate the passage of ordinances.
Under the present method, or rule,
1t is sometimes six weeks before an
ordinance becomes a law unless spe-
cial sessions are held and these are
always costly.
In Lexington the council boards,
when they have up an ordinance
they wish to pass through quickly,
adopt 1t on its first meeting and ad-
journ for ten minutes or so, ana
then are called in session again by
the mayor, which Is due form, and
pass it on the second reading. This
is probably what will be done in the
boards here as many members de-
plore the time lost now in passing
ordinances.

Will Judge Lightfoot Run?

1t is said that County Judge r.
T. Lightfoot's ears are being treated
to the musical humming OF the con-
gressional bee and that he is think
ing seriously of running for congress
on the democratic ticket. He was
seen this morning directly after the
meeting of the First congressional
district committee which fixed the
date of primary, but made no de-
nial or confirmation of the report.
"You just say that | neither denl
nor affirm the report" Judge Light
foot stated when asked a point blank
question as to his intention. 1t Is
known that his many friends are
urging him to make the race and
that he has been considering il
rather seriously. The only known
candidate among the democrats so
far is the incumbent, Hon. Ollie
James, of Marion. but there rs plenty
OF time in which to decide.
Judge Lightfoot when asked IL
his friends were not pressing him
TO run, stated rhat he could not deny
this, but would rather have nothing
said about the matter. that he pre-
ferred 1t TO drop.

To the President of the Board
of Public Works Here.
He viii BE Required to Give All His
Time to the Work, IL IL
Carries.
A NEW RULE FOR THE COUNCIL

A suggestion has been made to
some of the members of the general
council that the president of the
board of public works be required to
give all of his time to the city's bus
iness, and to make the salary of the
Office such as to compensate that Of
fetal for doing so.
The advocates OF the idea say that
the council was considering creating
the Office of city buyer at an expense
of 81. 200 a year, but the idea was
given up because 1t was found that
he would have very little to buy,the
board OF works, and the police and
hremen boards insisting on making
all the purchases for these depart
ments. That the duties of this office
could be added to those of the presi-
dent of the board of works who
could make all the purchase for that
board and the other departments OF
the city, whose duty 1t would be to
give all of his attention to the diree-
ton of all city work, in connection
with the other city officials under
whose department 1t came; TO pre-
pare all plans for improvements, and
make the estimates OF the probable
cost of all improvements.
President L. p. Noble of the board
of works, thinks the idea is a splen-
did one. 81 expect to go out of Office
In very short time" he said today,
when asked about Il. $50 | can speak
more freely ON the proposition than
| Otherwise should. think It is the
thing to do by all means, and
know, from our experience, that
such an official would save the city
more than his salary. You have no
idea of the scope and variety of work
that this board has to do, and of
the demands ii makes on the mem
bers' time, Last week we held four
meetings, which is just slight evil
dence of the time II requires, and
of course we cannot give the matters
the consideration a man whose duty
It is to devote all of his time to the
work, could.
"Such an official should take all
the detail work off the board, get up
all the plans or direct their prepara-
tlon, furnish the proper estimates in
detail and work. hand in hand, with
all the different city departments.
The other two members of the board
would be a check on his work, and
with such AN organization the work
the board would do would be far
more satisfactory. in every way than
under the present plan.
"Of course, this official should be
man in every way competent for
such a position, and such a man
would save the city his salary sever
al times over. Paducah is big.
growing city now and needs the most
effective administrative work possi-
BILE to secure, and this is one of the
