MAYOR JEALOUS
OF CITY'S NAME
Wants TO Know What The
Engineer Meant.
Paducah's Brick Industries Seem TO
Have Caused MFR. Alvord TO
Suggest Their Use.
ALDERMEN PASS ORDINANCE

Mayor Yeiser's Jealousy of the rep
utation OF the Paducah city govern
ment caused him to spring a moment
airy sensation In the board OF alder
men in session last night, when he
was informed that Sanitary Engineer
John w. Alvord, of Chicago, had said
he provided only for brick construe-
ton Of the sewer extension plans. be-
cause he understood that kind was
favored here.
The mayor wanted to know what
that meant, and suggested that the
statement might reflect on some mem
Der OF the city government Nobody
else had thought of It that way, and
City Engineer Washington said he
believed MIR. .Alvord did not mean to
convey the impression that anybody
had told him That brick was prefer
able to concrete for the construction.
It was then suggested that, perhaps,
Mr. Alvord recognized that the brick
industry fourishes in Paducah, and,
for this reason, he supposed the city
would prefer to use some home pro-
ducts in the construction.
The ordinance was amended to con-
form to the plans and adopted. Then
the board adjourned to meet this af-
ternoon at 1880 O'Clock.
The board Of aldermen is complet-
ing the second passage of the sewer
ordinance this afternoon. and Mayor
Yeiser called the board of couneilmen
to meet tonight in special session to
pass the sewer ordinance on its first
reading and consider street improve
ment measure.
