will be known as the Corporations
Committee.
10 view Of the fact that the city
expects to reach out for more fac
tories, mills and workshops. I have
thought it advisable to add a new
committee to be known as the COM
mittee on Publicity and Promotion.
It is also expected that the city
will soon have need Of a committee
to consider a park, a market house,
a permanent hospital and other pub
lie grounds. A committee to have
charge of these matters will be de-
signated.
The Building Committee will also
have its powers enlarged to include
the supervision Of such city improve
ments as may be made from time to
time. 1t will be the duty of this
committee to grant permits for new
buildings Of all kinds and to see that
the ordinances pertaining to build
ings are carried out. Many buildings
have from time to time been erected
in the city, in utter disregard of the
ordinance prohibiting the erection of
any kind Of covered structure with
out a permit from the proper com
mittee of the Council. This COM
mittee will also be given authority
to inspect buildings already up and
see that they conform to city ordi-
The record book of permits
granted should be kept in the City
Clerks office.

The Social Evils.

Since the days when Joshuasp AIRED
the house of Rahab, the harlot, in
the fall of Jericho, the social evil has
been one that every city has had to
deal with. The experience in every
age has been that this evil cannot be
suppressed. At best it can only be
regulated to some extent. The pres
ence of a Gordon Of unregulated
bawdy houses just outside the city
limits constitutes a serious menace
to the good order of our city and
unfortunately one that cannot be
removed without the cooperation of
the county authorities. Nearly all
cities, to avoid just this condition Of
affairs, have found it, the part of
wisdom to tolerate and confne such
houses to a redlight district within
their own jurisdiction. The time
will come as these houses multiply
and extend their zone of baneful in
fiuence, when this problem may
have to be solved in some such way.
! Under your ordinances they cannot
now be taken into the city and regu-
lated, and while they are outside the
city limits they cannot be interferec
with by the city. But some correc
tive measures may be and should bC
taken inside the city There is al
ordinance prohibiting street walking
atnight by women Of i'll repute. Thi
ordinance might be amended to in
clude street driving, day or night, b,
the same class Of women. 1t is posi-
BILE to enforce order to the city limit
and prevent the inmates from usinl
the streets Of the city to advertis
their calling. Good order should b
especially enforced along street
leading to houses of i'll fame. TIL

Obstructing Sidewalks.

The Chief of Police has been in
structed to enforce the law prohibit
ing the obstruction of sidewalks.
This has grown to be a nuisance that
should no longer be tolerated. Idlers
have no right to take possession Of
the pavements to hold levees, while
ladies are compelled to walk in the
streets. The law is already ade-
quate and am sure the good effects
of its proper enforcement will soon
be seen.

Financial Matters.

am unable at this time to discuss
the finances of the city, for the rea-
son that the reports upon which such
a discussion would be based will be
submitted subsequent to the prepar-
alton of this address. am inform
ed that the correct expenses last year
exceeded the revenues in the general
fund and that the sinking fund and
school fund were drawn upon tenn
porarily for several thousand dollars
to meet the demands. This sum,
however, is represented in substan-
tial permanent improvements, chief
among them being the new quarters
for the Fire Department so urgently
needed. | regret that you begin the
present year handicapped by this
transfer of funds, but feel confident
that by careful management and by
economy in expenditures, the city
will soon have these improvements
paid for out of the proper fund
without additional taxation.
At the conclusion of the address
the Mayor appointed the standing
committees given heretofore.
The Council elected Councilmen
Armstrong and Clark to act with the
Mayor as a Committee on Pardons.
The various city officials submitted
monthly reports for December,
which were received and filed.
Annual reports were also submit

Police, the City Judge and by the
cemetery, workhouse and other
committees. All of the reports were
received and referred to a special
committee composed of Councilmen
Jackson, Davis and Clark.

SUNDAY ClOsing

In my judgment there should be
material notifications of the present
ordinances on Sunday closing before
any attempt should be made to en-
force them, as many good people of
the city are calling upon me to have
done.
Conditions have changed since
these ordinances were passed many
years ago. Then it was made unlaw-
full to transact any regular business
whatever on Sunday, only permit
ting the sale of medicines on pre-
scription, the delivery of newspapers
for two hours only and the operation
of railroads. The enforcement of
this law now would stop ice wagons,
milk wagons, baker shops, fruit
stores, soda founts, cigar stands,
news stands, barber shops, boot
blacks, butcher shops, eating stands,
telephone exchanges, telegraph Off
ces, livery stables; water, gas and
light companies, undertakers and
many other interests about which
opinions differ as to whether or not
they are necessities. In justice to
all concerned, i would recommend the
enactment of a new Sunday law, out

Profanity.

Many complaints have come to me
from citizens who desire the enforce
ment of the ordinance against the
use of profanity and indecent Ian
guage on the streets and in public
places. Especial complaint is made
that prisoners in the city lookup
often use the most profane and vul-
gar language ii the hearing of the
family CT the keeper and in the pres
ence of prisoners not always as de-
PRAYED as themselves. Profane and
obscene language is prohibited in
the city, when it is offensive to any
one, and an enforcement of the or
dinance would meet the hearty APP
proval of large proportion of the
people. Ehope the law will be better
observed in the future.

Stock

The rapid strides made by the city
during the last few years emphasized
the fact that we no longer live in a
country town, but live, growing,
enterprising city that must keep
step with the march of progress.
One of the relics of provincialism
that would like to see abolished. is
the ordinance permitting cattle to
run upon the streets. This is a
source of embarrassment to all citi-
zens VINO point to Hopkinsville as an
up-to-date city and it commits us to
q policy that has long since been
abandoned by ali progressive cities.
This question is one that should be
settled in a business like way by the
passage of an ordinance to take
effect not later than April LIST, max
ing it unlawful for any kind of live
stock to run at large in the city. 1t
is manifestly unjust that a heavy
fence tax should be imposed upon
the whole city in order that a minor
ity Of the citizens may be permitted
to turn their cattle into the streets
where there there is no pas turage

morals of the city will, no doubt,
give confidence to the people, who
are showing much discomfort over a
condition of affairs that the city is in
no wise responsible for. Our best
efforts should be put forth to lessen
a most troublesome evil.

Patrol Wagon.

One of the crying demands of the
Police Department is a patrol wa
gon. am informed that the livery
bill in this department is usually
from $40 to $35 per month. Most of
this is for buggies used in making
arrests. A patrol wagon and horse
should be provided and kept near
the police headquarters and this ex-
pense of several hundred dollars a
year thereby saved to the city. The
same horse could be utilized in case
an officer had to be mounted to pur-
sue an offender beyond the city
limits, as is frequently the case.

Neglected Ordinances.

There are many ordinances that
have so long been neglected in their
enforcement that their very exist
ence is unknown to the public. The
failure to enforce these laws has
caused some abuses to grow up in
the city that, in my judgment, should
be conservatively and carefully con-
sidered. If conditions have so
changed that it would be unwise to
enforce these ordinances, it would be
better to revise them in order to
simplify the duties of the officials
held responsible for the enforcement
Of the laws. shall not at this time
point out the laws referred to-
further than to call your attention tC
the existence Of many such. shall
enforce all laws given me to enforce
and shall not knowingly hold myself
amennable to the charge Of neglect

Mrs Pinkham claims that there IS a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused bv a
arrangement of the female organism
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion.
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has apeculiar tonic effect on the fe.
male organism.
As proof of this theory we call at.
tention to the ease of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia e. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years / suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated the entire system that [
was unable to attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that | ate
tasted good and it caused a disturbance inmy
stomach. | tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. / was adj
vised to give Lydia L. PinEham'S Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
TO find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in q
fewdays l began to enjoy and prOperlydigest
