Charter Provides That When

to Second Class That Provis-
ion May be Taken Advantage
of.
Will Give Levy of Forty.five
Cents on 800 and Might
Solve Problem Confronting

The Plan.

Provision was made In the charter
IF second class cities that when a
ity advanced from the third class.
he school levy of 35 cents from the
ity could be increased ten cents for
'uilding purposes exclusively. Third
lass cities receive fifty cents on the
ne hundred dollars from the city
AK fund, but second class cities re-
'eie only thirty five cents. This de-
rease in the case of Paducah was
celt in the finances Of the school. and
he legislature was foresighted
enough to insert the provision for a
zen cent increase. With the erection
)f two new buildings and the further
building needs of the next two years,
{ Is probable that the school board
will demand the extra ten cents on
the one hundred dollars from the
city. Trustee @. G.. Kelly will bring
Il before the board in time to act be-
fore the 1908 appointments are
made by the city. The addition of
ten cents to the present rs cents
Will help the board out materially
In its finances.
Looking ahead a year or two It is
evident to some of the trustees that
the old Lee building, Fourth and
Ohio streets, will become unsuitable
for school purposes and a new struct-
ure will be built either there or in
some other location to suit the
of population. The ten
cent increase can be used only for
buildings. but the board is in debt
Tor the two new buildings now in
of construction, so that 1t will

expect the board to resclnd the ex-
ra apportionment, IL ever.

SOME MERCHANTS
BOUGHT HOLIDAY
FIREWORKS STOCK

Merchants who have bought a
stock of cannon chackers, toy pistols
and other explosives to be sold the
youth of the city during the holidays
have found that they will be prohib-
tied from selling the noisy bundles
this Christmas and the small boy
will find that he will be arrested
should he attempt to use them. The
stock of cannon crackers, toy pistols
sky rockets. The ordinance provides
that the mayor may in his discretion
allow the use of fireworks, but when
seen this morning Mayor Yeiser ex-
pressed himself as being strictly op-
posed to the use of fireworks and
would not give permission, especially
during the holidays. They are
dangerous to life, limb and property,
and | think the ordinance prohibiting
their use a good one" was his COM
ment when asked regarding the mat
ter.
Although the ordinance was passed
and published in due form, many
merchants overlooked its existence
in buying holiday goods and some
of them bought heavily of the things
that are under the ban.

The Conference

In notes on the Methodist confer
ence at Humboldt the Commercial
Appeal says:
Humboldt is entertaining the con-
ference royalty and every one is
claiming that he has the best home.
Brownsville, Coyington and Padueah
will invite the conference to meet
with them next year. and as 1t has
been in the lower end of the terri
tory, Paducah stands a good chance
to win, being in the upper portion Of
the conference limits.
The Rev. Peter Fields is the larg-
est man in the conference, and a
good preacher as we'll, judging from
his sermon Wednesday night.
1t is rumored there will be a
clean sweep of preachers in Paducah
and that Broadway, Trimble Street
and Third Street will all have new
pastors another year.

Employees blocked a second attempt
to burglarize the Offices OF Friedman,

lurking around the building, and
Leslie and Clarence Ogilvie, trusted
employees of the company, were told
to return to the building by the rear
entrance after they had gone out
front, as though they were going
home at the close OF the days work.
Just as Leslie Ogilyie entered the
yard in the rear of the building he
heard a shuffiing OF feet and called
to his companion to open the coal
house door. As he did so a man, be-
lieved to be white, jumped out OF
the coal house, while another
sprang up from behind some boxes.

MAY INCREASE SCHOOL LEVY
TEN CENTS TO COVER DEFICIT
CAUSED BY TWO BUILDINGS
THIRTY PER CENT
OF |. G. WAGES
WILL Be IN Cash

The Illinois Central Railroad COM
pany has arranged with the local
banks to pay at least 80 per cent of
the pay checks in currency, and the
balance in checks of the railroad
company of the denominations of IS
and $40, or cashiers checks of the
banks of these denominations. as the
employees prefer. The company has
shipped a great quantity of theii
checks of these small amounts tc
Paducah by express and this arrange
ment can be relied upon in the event
there is no failure in the arrival OF
the shipment. The employees mus
present the checks by Monday, No
vember IS, to get advantage of thi,
arrangement. The total payroll O
the company this month is in excess
OF 100000 and thirty per cent o
this amount is $4,000. Therefore
$50 900 of cash will be let loose into
trade channels this week, which
should be quite a stimulus to bust
ness. Conditions are improving all
over the country each day, as the
checks become better under
stood. The indications are that the
business OF the country will be trans
acted on the check basis for a few
weeks longer, as every measure of
safeguard has TO be thrown around
business to protect it. In some in
stances big industries are closing
down, but this condition is happen
ing only where the employees are re-
fusing to accept the checks.
