CHARITY CLUB is
WILLING TO. SEND
READING MATTER

In connection with the good work
being done by the Charity club jar
Toner, secretary OF the club. received
"a letter yesterday that opens another
avenue for the work of the club, and
at no extra expense. a letter was
written by prisoners In the county jail
asking that old magazines or books
be sent them. The hand writing was
clear and legible.
The letter was:/ "Mr. Jap Toner
Charity club--Dcar Sir: The prison
.ers OF the county Jail here have read
of the good that is done by the Char
ity club and some of us thought that
by addressing you. you would do US
the favor of sending us any reading
matter, such as old magazines or old
books as you might be able to secure.
As we are absolutely dependent upon
the few that are sent in, and It would
be the greatest kind Of charity II you
would help us out. To be restricted
here is bad enough but to be confined
without reading matter is terrible.
Anticipating a reply we are,
Yours Very Truly;
The Prisoners In the Jail"
Mr.. Toner gathered about 100 old
magazines and papers yesterday. at
.ternoon and took to the prisoners II
any citizen has old magazines they
wish TO dispose of, MIR. Toner Will
send them to the jail or they may be
sent individually. II is no extra ex-
pense on the Charity club, and Mr.
Toner thinks the request of the pris-
oners should not be overlooked.

Judge Reed Sustains Decision
of County Fiscal Court and
Attorney.

The appeal of County Assessor
Troutman from the decision of the
fiscal court in refusing to allow him
regular compensation for taking the
assessments of banks for taxation for
county purposes, was dismissed by
5udge Reed at this mornings session
of circuit court. the judge holding
that under the law he could claim no
compensation for this work.
Until a recent enactment of the
legislature the banks were assessed
by the state board of valuation for
both county and state purposes, but
now they are assessed by that board
for the state only, and the

the assessor. WHO enters them on his
books, the only work required of him
as the banks are compelled to volun-
tarily furnish the figures, which are
a duplicate of those furnished the
state auditor for use by the board OF
valuation.
In his contention before the court
Mr.. Troutman insisted he should be
paid the regular 4 per cent for enter
ing the figures on his books, as the
most had been omitted. which would
amount this year to about $500. The
allowance was opposed by County At
torney Alben Barkley, VINO, showed
the statute specifically stated no com
pensation should be allowed for this
work. However, it is the opinion of
those familiar with the case that some
lpay should be allowed, though not as
much as is paid the assessor in ordi-
nary cases, where he is forced to look
up the taxpayers and take his as
sessment and a bill amending the
statute so as to allow the assessor a
reasonable compensation for the work

Will BE Half Million.

The figures shown above will, of
course, be reduced to some extent,
when the taxpayers are given a hear
ing, but 1t is not believed that enough
will be cut off the raises to bring the
total raise below 100000.
The present assessment is s12,-

BY referring to the table II is seen
that the Third district, which is city

ests are listed, suffered heaviest, while

The members of the board are now
busy looking after the assessments az
property that has changed hands re-
Gently and there is other routine work
to be transacted before adjournment.
After the complaints have been heard
and reduction If any in the raises is
made the board will make a report
showing the s)tal value of property
assessed for county and state purposes
and the report will be sent to the
state board of equalization, which
body must pass on the assessment be-
fore 1t is finally settled and 1t will be

Providing for Minimum and
Maximum Police Force and

Prevented Insertion of Word
Shall in Two Bills.
MORE POLICE COURT REVENUE

Mayor James p Smith returned
last evening from Frankfort, more
than ever satisfied with the prospects
! for securing the amendments of the
second class city charter, in which
Paducah is especially interested. They
are the provisions fixing the maximum
and minimum police force at 90 and
10; and the maximum saloon licensC
at $500. II is not the purpose of the
lpolice measure to make a slash in tn
police force. but it is to restore the
right Of local self-gOvernment in such
matters to the city. and allow each
community TO decide for itself how
many policemen ii needs. The saloon
license measure, fixes the minimum
license at 800 and the maximum al
$500. The original police bill does
not provide civil service features but
Lexington seeks such amendment.
City Solicitor Campbell will remain
in Frankfort until the bills are in the
hands of the public printer. and then,
as soon as they are printed he will re-
turn TO the capital and stay with them
until some action is taken
Everybody has a bill" said Mayor
Smith, and the legislators look ask
ance at everybody who approaches
them. 1t takes some little time to get
into their confidence. / believe We
succeeded in convincing them that We
have no Interior motives in our prop
lositions, but, since there is scram
bic to get pet measures through, tn,
man who doesn't stay with his bill
is likely to see It pigeon-holed, fol-
something with more energy and en-
thusiasm behind IT,"
Other second class city measures
Fare urged by the other cities. Lex
ington desires a police pension bill
and a measure. increasing salaries OF
councilmen to $500 and fixing the re
muneration of school trustees at $40
Paducah representatives induced the
trainers of the bill to insert the word
may" in place of "shall," and thus
saved this city the necessity of spend
ing more money, unless the people SC
desire
Newport is responsible for bill
taking the city printing contract out
of the hands of the city attorney and

Another measure that is designed
to increase city revenue, extends the
Jurisdiction of police courts to petit
larceny and vagrancy and increases
the fine limit to 5000. Another bill
repeats the clause providing that one
|half police court revenue must go to
the public library fund.
There was opposition to the
proposition to change from quad
rennial to annul assessments of real
estate, and the idea was abandoned.
Mayor Tired Out.
Mayor Smith has led a strenuous
life between his business and getting
comfortably settled in the mayors
chair, with legislation, the budget and
municipal appointments crowding or
him. He is tired out; but he has az
ranged his business affairs. so that he
can get away, and tomorrow night ht
