Circuit Judge WilliampReed this
morning filed his opinion in the case
of j. NJ. Worten against the city of
Paducah. The suit was brought to
prevent the collection of taxes on the
plaintiffs property for the year 1903
because of an alleged technicality.
and the opinion of the court dis
misses the petition.
Attorney Worten alleged that the
city under the charter has no right
to assess property oftener than every
four years; that the city provided no
ordinance for the special purpose of
an annual assessment and moreover
the board of supervisors sat for 43
days during that year when by law
the board can sit no longer that four
weeks once every year, and six days
annually the next three years.
Judge Reed in his opinion stated
that the charter and constitution
conflicted in one way and that as far
as the legal part of the supervisors
sitting more than six days three
years out of four, the petition was
correct. The city had passed no or
dinance providing for the assessment
this year even before or after an
amendment was passed by the legis-
lature giving this power.

Incanslescent Lights.

The company propes to furnish the
city all the incandescent lights re-
quired by the public buildings. in ex-
cess of the incandescent service due
the city under its franchise at &c a
kilowatt hour, less a discount of 10c,
which would be 3-10c. and 10 fur
nish all renewals of lamps which is
estimated would amount to lie more
discount.
The company also agrees not to
increase its commercial lighting
rates in the city during the term of
the contract for municipal lights
above the present rate. which is 10c
a kilowatt hour, as long as the price
of coal is below $2.00 ton; any ad-

the first seven years of the lease
and the wires, lamps, etc, installed

city at cost. If the city so desires.
The reason for not giving the city
the extensions made in the last three
years is to protect the company from
any unusual extensions which might
be ordered during the last three
years of the contract In order that
the cost of any extensions made in
the last three years may be made as
low as possible for the city. the COM

As there is a question OF doubt
whether the city can legally enter
into a contract calling for an expend-
,iture during its term OF an amount
greater that the annual appropria-
ton for the particular object con
tracted for, the company makes the
proposition in two parts. one for
light service and one to lease the
city plant. poles and wires so the
city can obtain the rate il would on
a ten-year contract and at the same
time extend a sufficient guarantee of
continuance.
The company offers to lease the
city plant for ten years at the nomi-
nal rental of s125 year.
II proposes to maintain the eity's
poles and wires and at the end OF
the contract, return them In as good
condition as they are now in. unless
the city should exercise its option OF
renewing the contract.
The company would sell for the
city, or turn over to II, the power
plant. and machinery, exclusive o.
poles, wires and lamps covered by
the lease as soon as IL installed its
own machinery for street lighting.
At the termination of its lease. the
company would turn in to the city,

THE WORTEN TAX
CASE WAS DECIDED
in FAVOR OF CITY

Judge Reed cites several sections
of the constitution and statutes and
in conclusion adjudges that the petit
toner has not sufficient claims to be
exempted from taxation for this year,
1908.
This case waas an important one,
as had it been won by the plaintiff
and been sustained in the appellate
court, 1t would have meant that
every person who had paid city taxes
for that year, could sue the city and
recover whatever had been paid.
Attorney Worten has ordered a
record of the suit and will file an
appeal in time for the April term Of
court of appeals. He says he thinks
he can have the case advanced on the
docket and a decision handed down
at an early date.
If Judge Reeds decision that this
feature of the charter Is unconstitu-
tional is upheld by the court of ap-
peals, the other second class cities
of the state are probably in a pre-
dicament, as they have been making
all assessments under the provisions
of the charter. Paducah, however,
has been making its assessments
every year, and would not be af-
fected.
