FERRY FRANCHISE
HAS NOW PRACTICALLY REEN
AGREED ON AND WILL BE
SOLD.
One ar Two Changes Ordered Made
In the License Ordinance.

The members of the Joint ordl-
nance and license committees OF the
general council held meeting at
the city hall last night to discuss
several features of the license ordl-
nance and other matters.
Owen Brothers owners OF the
ierryboat. were at the meeting az
the invitation OF the committee and
a new ferry franchise was discussed.
II embodies all of the features of the
old franchise, which has expired.
with the changes in some rates. The
rate on sheep and hogs was reduced
from Sc a head TO &c. and on hay was
increased from soc 10 81 a load.
In the franchise recently rejected
was an article giving the city land
ing in Illinois in the event that the
owners. finding the business unproft-
able. wished to give up their local
franchise or right. This feature is
in the new franchise and Owen Bros.
object to II, but took the matter
under advisement. Under the new
franchise the city wants an option on
the ferryboat also. in such an in
stance, and on the Illinois landing.
The new franchise viii be put up
and sold at. auction. and viii proba-
bly, be bought by the owen Bros.
The committee also agreed to
change the tax on insurance compa-
nies an6 make II the same as last
year. $50 company. and $40 for
each additional line. The tobacco
brokers' license was reduced to SIS.
but no other changes were made.
The Paducah sun., 1906-01-23

One of the best amendments that
could be made to the second-class
charter would be the changing OF
"shall to may" Lexington. KY,
which operates under the second
class charter, concluded few days
ago to abolish the Office of assistant
lockup-keeper, or city jailer. II has
been the custom to have an assistant
city jailer in Lexington wheth-
er one was needed or not, and
Lexington decided to get along with
out him. An Investigation of the
charter, however, revealed the fact
that 1t says the Office shall be es-
tablished." Now Lexington, unless
the charter is changed, must keep
on providing for an official it does
not need or want. This is only one
of many instances of where thous-
ands of dollars could be saved the
taxpayers in second-class cities, If
the Word "shall' were only changed
to "may" leaving to necessity or
prudence, many things that are now
imperative. .4ta
