BOYS GRATEFUL
FOR ASSISTANCE
Wish to Thank Speakers Who
Defended Their Rights on
Sidewalks Before Board of
COuncilmen
TWO SIDES To THE QUESTION.

AN Paducah Is rent and torn by
the agitation to stop roller skating
on concrete sieewalks.. ---,--s,-
Mayor Yeiser thinks that roller
skating with steel rollers on con-
crete sidewalks is injurious to the
sidewalks and several others who
have taken the trouble to investigate
are of the same opinion.
"If roller skating on the streets Is
permitted and the pavements are
worn out" Attorney ]. d. Mocquot
suggested, "who is TO pay for the
damage? Contractors will not re-
pair them because 1t is not ordinary
traffic that causes the wear. and
doubt II the city will stand the ex-
pense realizing that the contractor
has five year maintenance bond. 1t
may entail damage suits.
This is one view. Physicians gen
orally favor the sport, because they
say it is the most healthful that could
be devised, being in the open air.
Some of them suggest that the chill
dren are more important than the
sidewalks. and If the concrete side
walks will not support the skaters
Paducah had better get sidewalks
that will. Others point to the fact
that that Paducah Is without parks
where children may play and the side
walks offer the only solution. A skat-
ing rink is out of the question for
most children, and it would lack the
element of fresh air. on which physlc-
ians base their approval.
The boys are wise and yesterday
afternoon a delegation of them wait
ed on Hon. Hal S. Conbett and In
duced him to speak a word in their
behalf to the general council. which
he did. 1t now seems likely that the
general council will find the subject
a little too hot to handle and let 1t
drop
The boys telephoned to THE SUN
today requesting that Hon. Hal Cor
belt, Col Gus Singleton and Capt.
w. H. Patterson be thanked for fight
ing for the skating privilege.

NO WORD RECEIVED.
Secretary of State Board OF Health
Makes No Reply.

Health Officer w. T. Graves has
not received a reply from Secretary
Mccormack. of the state board of
health, to the letter requesting a
visit from him to this city TO investi-
gate local conditions. The board OF
health wanted him to see what could
be done to give the local board more
authority.
President Brothers and DR.. II. p.
Sights made trip to the city dump
yesterday afternoon and decided that
IT, should be left as at present. below
the Illinois Central incline at the
foot Of Campbell street. The man
ayers of the dump were looking for
a longer cable this morning to use in
bringing the fiatboat up to the rear
end of the Dogwood factory on North
Sixth street during the high water.
The boat could be loaded there and
taken out into the river, but they are
afraid to so out into the river With
out being attached to a cable.

Awaiting Completion observer
in District No. 2
Pipe Must BE Laid Down Broadway
and Connections Made Beyond
Ninth Street.
THE NINETEENTH STREET WORK

1t will be we'll along IN the sum-
mer before Broadway and Jefferson
street are paved from Ninth street tc
Eleventh street. The ordinance has
been passed and is in the hands OF
the board of public works, but
sewer connections must be made in
that territory before the paving is
done.
At present the big main of district,
No. 2, is extended as far as Twelfth
street and Is being laid from Broad
way to Clay street. AS soon as the
weather settles so that the work can
be prosecuted without delay, the pipe
line from Twelfth street to Ninth
street along Broadway will be laid.
City Engineer Washington does not
wish to dig up Broadway until ne Is
certain the work can be pushed rap
idly and the trench covered in the
minimum time. After the pipe is
laid. people must be given time to
connect, before the bftulithic sanr-
face is spread, as the city engineer
hopes there will be no necessity OF
cutting through the new surface for
lateral trenches.
Nineteenth Street Work.
The improvement of Nineteenth
street from Broadway to the May
field road Is fast developing into one
of the very knotty questions for the
general council. Last night in the
council meeting many residents were
on hand to urge that the street be
improved, and some few were pres
ent to protest against sidewalks, an
ordinance having been introduced
for pavements. curb and cutters the
entire length of the street.
City Engineer Washington advised
that II would be impossible to span
a ravine with sidewalks on newly
made Nil, and that there is little
chance of disposing OF storm water.
II pavements are built 1t will force
great volume of water on private
property, precipitating suits for dam
age against the city.
The inclement weather has made
Ii impossible for the traction compa-
ny to continue work of putting down
its tracks, and until 1t does finish
this work the street can not be prop
erly improved. Residents are loud In
their protests against the delay, and
1t will be two weeks longer before
the ordinance providing for the
street improvements goes through
both boards.

LITTLE DAMAGE APPREHENDED.

Held in the balance by the receding
waters above and the beautiful
weather here. the hedh in the next
few days either wlil go down with
out any damage resulting, or if the
March equinox finds the river at its
present high stage, and should come
even in ordinary severity, the extent
of the rise here may establish a new
record. The March equinox with its
high winds, and usually accompany
ing heavy rains, coming on top of
present conditions might be disast-
rous In the extreme. It Is due.
Sometimes the equinox comes a few
days earlier, sometimes a few days
later, but always near March 21.
From March 10 last year, until
March "a, four inches of rain fell.
That much rain at this time would
be sufficient to sway the balances in
favor of much higher water. This
summer weather is slightly out of
season and may be the forerunner
of a cold spell and in the transition,
rain probably win fail. March 20
last year a heavy snow fell here for
a while. It Is certain that this kind
of weather is not permanent and If
the change finds the river at its
present stage. even If no rain falls,
the high March winds would be suffi-
cient to do damage. Wind can whip
an ordinary stage into dangerous
proportions and with the river only
a foot under the flood stage for this
point, river craft and river front in
terests might suffer severely.
The river rose IL in the last "a
hours. The stage this morning was
3S.S. Forty feet is the food stage
here, and the stage this morning was
Go feet below the January high rec
ord of 45.7. If no new food starts
down from Pittsburg and the tribu-
tary rivers remain normal, the river
here probably will not go over Al or
AZ feet. The weather will determine
the stage and with the March equinox
due, 1t is feared may determine It
higher.
