TO HAVE
INDEPENDENT TEAM
Plan of Traction Company
Just Announced
Capable Manager viii BE Placed in
Charge and Grounds Furnished
Him.
SOME GOOD SPORT PROMISED.

To crafty the cravings of a null
titude of Paducah baseball fans, the
Paducah Traction company will put
forth efforts to establish an indie
pendent baseball team in Paducah
this season, and invites capable man
as a manager in conference to arrange
the details. While the traction COM
pany does not intend to go in for
sports, it does not desire to have the
ball park idle during the season, and
Manager John S. Bleecker has devised
means to utilize it to the advant-
age of the public, traction company
and those who play and manage the
team.
Baseball is sport we do not wish
to be Immediately identified WITH"
Manager Bleecker stated, "but we do
not wish the park to remain idle,
and to satisfy the fans we shall CON
slider a proposition from some capa-
BILE manager to put in strong indie
pendent team this summer. We can
arrange the details in conference
when the right man shows up. The
baseball suits can be procured from
the baseball association for a small
sum, l think, and the grounds will
need little working. The traction
company will make liberal arrange
ments, of course, would want
schedule of games that would be re-
lied upon and insure frequent games.
There are dozens of capable base
ball team managers in Paducah, and
enough good players to organize
strong team. Moreover, a circuit
will this season be formed of indie
pendent teams, and Cairo, Paducah,
Princeton, Hopklnsvihe and Prince
ton, Ind, with probably Mayiield,
Hickman. Wickliffe and other nearby
towns, will have Independent teams
from indications. A regular circuit
could be formed and the game made
more interesting than regular
league.
1t is expected that Manager Bleeck-
er's invitation will be received with
pleasure and 1t will doubtless draw
anxious fans to him with propositions
to put in team.

Will Be Made By Supervisors
on Property
Board Takes City BY Districts and
Raises or Lowers According to
A. Conditions.
TEN PER CENT IN SOME CASES.

A ten per cent raise on all property
on Broadway from the east side OF
First street to the west side of Sew
enth street, and on First, Second,
Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh
and Ninth streets, from the south
side of Kentucky avenue to the
north side of Jefferson street, has
been agreed on by the board of city
tax book supervisors, it is said. This
represents the biggest part Of the
boards work for the first week, and
it is by no means a small item in the
work.
Hon wuch this will mean in addi-
tional value to the city property can
not be estimated off hand. But this
rate Of increase straight through
would increase the valuation of prop
erty nearly s1YOOO,5OO. 1t is be-
lieved that this much of an increase
will be made.
The board is considering property
by districts and raising or lowering
the assessments according to general
conditions in each particular dis
trict. After that each separate piece
of property will be considered.

To Extend Main of District
No. 2. Beyond High School
District No. 3 Presents Problem, but
It Is Only Means of Relief for
Residents.
ENGINEERS SURVEYING ROUTE.

AS fast as possible the contractors
are pushing the work on the main
sewer in district No. 2, and five
gangs are busy near the railroad
yards. The big brick sewer has been
started through the railroad yards
between Washington street and Ken
lucky avenue 1t will enter Ken
lucky avenue at Twelfth street and
pass the High school building, turn
ing south again near there. 1t will
be month before the High school
building is reached, probably. and
then it can not be used until the
sewer is officially accepted.
Plans for sewer district No. are
being worked upon by the Chicago
engineers. This district presents a
serious problem. Sewers are need d
in Rowlandtown as much as in any
other quarter OF the city, and the
same necessity exists in the nelghbor-
hood of Fountain avenue. The main
of district No. is not large enough
to carry the sewerage from the sec
ton beyond Thirteenth street and the
only possible relief for the outlying
district is by a main running through
Rowlandtown and emptying into the
river near the incline as designed.
This sewer will traverse much ter
ritory now unimproyed. but It seems
to be the only way of affording the
convenience to those who need it.

BULL RUN Gun"
IS To REST IN
STATE HOUSE

The long-standing controversy in regard
to the Bull Run cannon has come to an
end, with the turning over Of the field
piece by the Providence Marine Corps to
the state. The cannon was the only one
by the battery Of the Second Rhode Island
Regiment, all the others being captured
by the Confederates at the battle of Bull
Run.
At the close OF the war the cannon was
presented to War Governor sprague by
the general assembly and the governor
turned Il over for safe keeping to the
Providence Marine Corps Of Artillery.
Since that time the state officials have
made repeated attempts to obtain posses
sion OF the piece. The Marine Corps stead
lily refused to give up the gun until at
their meeting last evening a letter was
received from Gov Sprague, instructing
the~organization to turn the cannon over
to the state.
The gun will probably be placed in the
state house In the alcove opposite the one
where the Gettysburg gun stands.
