BARRIERS SUBJECT
To REGULATIONS
OF STATES LAWS

In On opinion sent to Walter
Frakes. a member OF the state board
Of barber examiners. Attorney Gen.
eral James Breathitt holds that the
state law is valid and constitutional
creating the board. Since the opin-
lon of the attorney general has been
received u Is believed that all the
trouble over the payment Of fees and
the objection to the examiners viii
blow over, as majority of the bar
bers had agreed to abide By the de-
cisiop OF Judge Breathitt
Judge Breafhitt cited cases. where
the law had held N Minnesota aud in
other states, as the courts have held
that the BARRIERS business involves
public health and they are subject to
police regulation. While on the
board Mr.. Frakes has had difficulty
In getting some BARRIERS to be exam
snea, but peace is looked for now.
The law has never been carried into
the courts for a test case.

RESIDENTS MUST
CONNECT UP WITH
DISTRICT NO. 1

City health officer, DR.. II. P.
Sights, Issued a notice this morning
that all residents in sewer district
No 1, who have never connected
with the sewer. must do so within
ten dayp~or the sanitary inspectors
win begin to issue warrants for the
dellnquents. when the time Limit has
expired the inspectors will note every
residence where operations to install
sewer connections have not been be-
gun. and the same vigorous course
will be followed in this campaign for
health as in the weed-cutting order.
II is known that all residents cannot
make connections within ten days,
but II is expected that they can have
the work under way or give subs'an-
tial proof OF their Intentions to com
ply with the notice. Although sewer
No. l has been laid for many years,
there are stlll many residents who
have never connected, and II is TO
these that the notice applies.

NO ACTION TAKEN
BY SHIPPERS ON
FREIGHT RATES

Big shippers of freight in Paducah
have taken no step IN regard to the
announced purpose of southern rail-
roads to advance rates 10 per cent on
all commodities because of the de
pressed industrial conditions. The
Wholesale Grocers' association. which
annually has as big or larger total
tonnage than any other one class In
Paducah, has not met TO discuss the
increase. One of the big shippers
said this morning that It is probable
no action will be taken in Paducah
until movement of protest is under
way in the larger cities. The advance
will. of course. be felt here, but as II
will be uniform throughout the south,
aud no discrimination wilf' be pract-
iced that would give one city an adj
vantage in competition over any
other.
