The facts brought out in the in
terview with former Mayor James
Lang in today's issue of The Sun
should reflect a great light for the
few who are wildly talking about
the city building a new water works
system. Their great objection to the
proposed renewal of the contract
with the Paducah Water company at
reduction of $4,000 a year, has
been the argument that with this
contract running for eighteen years
the city would not build It's own
plant during that time, and would
be limited to purchase of the water
companys plant II 1t desired to ac-
uuire one. The facts brought out are
simply that. of the All fire hydrants
in use. the contracts for supplying
only $50 expire this year. The con-
tracts for the remainder expire at
different times during the course of
the next twenty years, according to
the dates on which the fire hydrants
were installed. In otaer words. the
foriginal contract with the water
company provides that the city shall
pay an annual rental for each new
fire plug for twenty years from the
date of It's installation. Most OF the
All fire hydrants have been Install
ed from time to time in recent years
and have a long term yet to run at

tract is entered into. As one strong
advocate of building new water

pany agrees to include all hydrants

PARK BOND ISSUE.

We take IL that II. c. Rhodes by
his public interview is, In measure,
stalking his business reputation on
the statement that the issuance of
bonds to the amount of 100000 for
park construction purposes viii not
increase the taxes but will really in
the end reduce them. by increasing
the assessable value of property of
the city.
Mr.. Rhodes is one of the park
commissioners and the board is
composed of business men, who have
given careful thought to the best
plan for constructing a park system,
and have hit on the bond idea as
the wisest and most economical. The
park commissioners-no oneof them

of them is crank on any subject
Every one of them is clear headed

the discussion of the park question.
With this understanding of the con.

are PREPARED to agree that the
scheme Is honest and free from any
suggestion of ulterror motive; the
commissioners have the intelligence
to devise a scheme of finance that
will work out; and the professional,
commercial and laboring classes
were represented in the conferences
before the scheme was proposed.
Now, many erroneous ideas have

Hickman KY, Oct. 31.-The
town yesterday was thrown into
great excitement over the arrival of
twenty wagon loads of ragged and
dirty gypsies. Each wagon contain

being about 175 in the band. They
were raggel. with no clothes except

the children were all bareheaded
and barefooted. regardless of the
cold weather. They stayed here only
two days, but the people were glad
to see them leave They camped in
West Hickman, went into the peo-
pies houses begging and stealing
everything they could. They wanted
to tell every persons fortune that
they came in contact with, and gem

LANDLORDS BLOCK LAND ACT,
John T.. Redmond Declares Only
Remedy Is Compulsion.

London. Oct 3l.--John Z. Red
mond moved the adjournment of the
house of commons today in order to
call attention to the lack OF progress
in the matter OF reinstating eyicted
tenants in ireland. owing, as the
speaker alleged, to the landlords re-
fusing to sell untenanted lands. The
land commissioners were consequent
ly unable to provide farms for evict-
ed tenants. Mr.. Redmond said 1t was
obvious that the government must
resort to some system of compulsion.
Chief Secretary for Ireland Bryce
said the government had done its
best. and If the remedy was compul-
sion,the government might have come
to that.

used In less than fve years. That IL
certain, and ten years, perhaps,
would be nearer the truth. Each
year the commissioners will estimate
the expenses for the ensuing year
and have bonds Issued accordingly.
The expense of maintenance during
the construction period will not be
|anything, practically. After construc-
ton. naturally the maintenance ex-
penses will be far below the annual
appropriation. The probabilities are
that the bond issue will take care of
the maintenance for some years. In
40 years the accumulation from the
annual park levy, estimated at the
present assessment and rate, will
amount to 100000. The natural in
crease in the value of property will
necessarily increase the annual reve-
nue., which must grow with the as
|sessment, the rate being permanent
lly fixed The parks themselves will
increase the assessable value Of
property, as shown by the report of
City Assessor Louis Summers, of
Louisville. published few days
ago.
The reason the commissioners
have decided on 40 year bonds is.
that they have ascertained that long
time bonds bring a better rate in the
market.
This in general is the plan. The
Sun makes this outline today, Next
Saturday night the park commits
sioners and Hon. Hal S. Corbett Will
speak on the subject at the market
house. The Sun asks you we'll to
study this plan. and go to the mar
ket house primed with whatever
questions and objections present
themselves to your mind and put 1t
up to the commissioners to answer.
II is their plan, and they are sincere.
If you can puncture the park bond
proposition go there and puncture It;
but do the park commissioners the
justice of attending the meeting Sat
urday night. That meeting is espe-
cially designed for those who have
not decided how to vote.
