Bonds.
Paducah and Southern Project
Is Looking Up.


Post-election developments are jus
tifying many predictions made dur
Ing the campaign. that Immediately
following the election, Paducah
schemes that have been held up.
pending It's results, wouli again be
revived with better prospects for ulti-
mate success. The latest proposition
10 receive new life, due 60 this fact.
Is the Paducah and Southern Interur-
ban Railway company. the corpora
ton that has a charter TO build an
interurban from Paducah. through
Mayneld and Fulton. 10 Hickman.
The local directors OF the company
he'd meeting following the election
and took up the financing OF the
proposition with their eastern brok-
ers again. and a letter was received
from them yesterday which brings
promises OF an early contamination
OF deal TO float n.
81 feel more confident than ever. T"
said Mr.. n, II. Loving to a reporter
for The Sun. that we shall put this
road through. as all Indications now
are good for It's success. We have
had our franchise. giving us an en-
trance into Paducah, and the one into
Mayfeli extended another year. but
we hope to have the road under con.
sirnctlon before that time. We have
every confidence in our broker plac-
ing our loan In the east We know
well there has been no money put
into construction work OF this char
acter In the past ten months. but ouf
adylces now are that money Is again
seeking this character OF Investment.
and ours probably wiz be placed a,
any time.
"The proposition Is a good one.
and appeals TO every one who has
studied II. that II will be a money
maker from the first. We go into
Mayneld, thence to Fulton and from
there TO Hickman. bringing all that
territory into connection with Padn
cab. Paris parties are promoting,
with every Indication OF early sue
cess. a line TO Murray and thence to
Mayheld. and there Is one being pro-
NOTED from Mayheli 10 BardweH and
Clinton. We shall tap both OF these
lines at Mayheld. and have web OF
lines touching the very best points In
western Kentucky and West Tonnes
see. OF course. these lines can not
be built over night. II viii take time,
but there Is no doubt In my mind
that Paducah Is on the eve OF great
growth due to the interurbans at NO
far distant date"
New Industries.
The twelve months ahead promise
more new Industries for Paducah than
any twelve months In It's history. A
few days ago The Sun published
about a column of different enter
prises that we're seeking new loca-
lions and had opened correspondence
with saunders A. Fowler. secretary
of the Commercial club. and every
day slnce then he has three to six
letters of a similar nature. II seems
20 be the psychological moment to get
new enterprises. for up to year ago
every plant In the country was too
busy and prosperous TO consider NOV
ing anywhere; but in the financial
crash a year ago. many OF the best
concerns in the country were crippled
and forced to close down, and now
that business Is promising a quick and
early revival, II has occurred 10 some
OF them that they might find loca-
tons better suited to their business.
This is the history OF all panics. and
Is natural.
81 had three men here to see me
yesterday about locating a woodwork
ing plant" said Mr.. Fowler today.
"They come asking nothing but an
assurance of Paducah's advantages as
a good shipping point. and a desirable
location. on reasonable terms. They
VIII pay for II themselves. They ara
men of means, and great success. The
plant will employ 10 hands, and II
everything satisfies them that Padu-
cab is the right location. II will be
erected within The next three
months"
Mr.. Fowler said that he had three
or four other good propositions for
the city that he was working on. but
that no announcement of any of them
could be made at present.
