WILL NOT BUILD
BRIDGE FOR CARS.
Board of Public Works Declines
Offer of Power Company.
viii Have TO Pay for Half the Cost
Or Construct Own Crossing
Over Island Creek.
ALL MEMBERS NOT PRESENT

The board of public works and
Joint light committee held meeting
yesterday afternoon late and decided
to recommend the rejection OF the
Paducah Traction company's offer to
stand % per cent of the cost of
building a new bridge over Island
Creek for both street car and public
use. The inclination of the board and
committee seemed to be towards re-
curing the traction company to
stand half the expense or to repair
the old bridge temporarily.
The meeting was not attended by
a full membership. John Rinkliff. of
the board of public works. Aldermen
Bell and Chamblin and Councilman
Dipple being absent.
The meeting resulted in a formal
recommendation being drawn up. In
brief the recommendation suggests
that the traction company offer 20
stand 25 per cent be rejected. and a
bridge exclusively for vehicles and
pedestrians be built; or the present
bridge repaired temporarily. II is
stated that repairs can be made for
$4,000.
The recommendation formally will
be presented the legislative boards
at the next meeting.

At a political meeting the speakers

and disturbed by man who constant

After several Interruptions Of this
kind during each speech, a young man
