THE PRINCIPLE INVOLVED.

1t is current rumor on the streets that the
board of councilmen tonight will refuse to rati-
fly the contract with A. j. Miller, of Lynchburg
Va, for the sidewalk, curb and gutter work ON
Fountain avenue, Twelfth and Clay streets. We
shall not attempt to dictate to the councmen;
but we shall show to them that there is prin
ciple of fair dealing involved, as well as the
dignity of the board itself and the interest of
taxpayers and property owners in Paducah.
To begin with, we call their attention to the
statement of City Engineer Washington, who
assumes all responsibility for the adoption of
granite curbng, that the terms of the contract
let, including granite curbings in the specified
tions, are lower than the terms for similar work
heretofore let, specifying concrete curbing So
there is no question that the board of public
works secured fair contract.
The general council, after due consideration
we assume, instructed the board of public
works to let contracts for sidewalks curhs and
cutters on Fountain avenue, Twelfth and Clay
streets, specifying granite curbing. In confor-
nifty with Instructions, and IA desire to secure
the cheapest and best work. the board OF public
works and the city engineer prepared careful
specifications and advertised for bids all over
the country AS result many foreign bidders
competed and one of them secured the contract
by undertaking all competitors, foreign and
local.
The board of public works awarded the con
tract to the firm, which announced voluntarily
that local sub-contractors workmen and ma
terial men would be patronized.
Complaint has been frequently made that the
cost of laying sidewalks has been excessive be-
cause there was too little competition. Suppos-
ing that after the general council in its wisdom
has decided on granite curbing, and instructed
the board of public works to have the work
done and the city engineer has drawn specif-
cations, and the board of public works has in
vited foreign contractors to come to the city
and bid, and the contract is awarded, the gen
eral council goes back on its decision in the face
of the city engineers advice, and turns down
the contract-what will be the RESULT
The city of Paducah can advertise for foreign
bids until Doom S Day and be laughed at.
III councilmen and citizens think it essential
that foreign bidders compete in order to reduce
and keep down the price of concrete work, they
must realize that by going back on this con
tract, they forever bar Paducah from engaging
the attention of foreign bidders on such work
The general council is responsible for the
granite specifications in the first place, and its
members must bear the responsibility for the
result of any further action it takes in regard
10 the contract.

Its national assembly consists of only one cham

1t is located all within the tropics, but it has

east coast is low-lying and very warm, the cen

NICARAGUA.

There is only four square miles difference be
tween the area of Nicaragua and the state OF
New York. Take Connecticut out of New Eng
land and Nicaragua would cover the rest of 1t.
1t is approximately half the size of the state of
Washington. To be exact, it covers 49,20O
square miles, which is larger than Holland, Bel
GUM and Denmark combined. 1t has a remark
able extent of coast line on two oceans. On the
Caribbean, it reaches nearly 800 miles due
north and south; on the Pacific, it extends %
miles Its greatest width is 275 miles, or APP
proXimately the distance from Washington to
New York. Its least width is l25 miles, or APP
proximately the distance from Chicago TO the
Mississippi river.
1t has the smallest population of any Central
American country, but is correspondingy cap
able of great material development. There are
only about 100000 people within its limits. OF
these, five-siXths are upon the western or Pa
cific side. The eastern or caribbean shore lies
low and is drained by many rivers. The only
industry of this section is the growing of ba
Danas which were shipped in 1908 to the num-
Der of 100000 punches, valued at 80 cents a
bunch. The principal town here is Bluefelds,
a little south of the center, having 5000 nhab-
tants. 1t is ,1S6 miles from New Orleans and
80 miles from Colon. The only other impor-
tant places on this east coast are Greytown, at
the southern point, with 1000 inhabitants, near
the mouth OF San Juan river, which was to
have been the course of the Isthman canal IL
built through Nicaragua, and Cape Gracias a >
dos, at the northern point, with only 800 peo
pie On the populated Pacific slope the chief
cities are Leon, the historic and interesting old
capital, with 10000 inhabitants; Managua the
present capital with 10000; Matagalpa, with
10000; Granada, with 1900 and several other
towns of from 5000 to 10000. The principal
port on the Pacific side is Corinto near the
northern end, with only about 1000 people. At
the southern end is the harbor of San Juan del
Sur.
There is one railroad in Nicaragua which
starts at Corinto and runs to Managua and
thence across to Granada on Lake Nicaragua,
which is the largest inland body of water in ali
Latin American. If one wishes to go to Mica
ragua, he can take steamers on the Atlantic side
from New York, New Orleans or Mobile Going
by Pacific he will take steamers from San Fran
cisco or from coast points of other countries
Perhaps the quickest way to reach it today is
either through Mexico by rail and by steamer
from Salna Cruz to Corinto, or by steamer from
New Orleans direct to Bluefields. The latter
journey generally takes about four days. If
however, one lands on the east coast, it is prac-
tcally impossible to go to the west coast on ac-
count of the lack Of railroads and other faeili-
ties. A common way to go to the west coast is
via Panama and the Pacific side.
Nicaragua has president, cabinet with five
ministers or secretaries, thirteen departments

permits in 105 cities in the United States in
October aggregated $64,S47 ,5SS, which is better
than the showing made for the same month in
1908 and 1907. The car service reports show
that 3,244, 155 ears were used i'll October, and
the report for ten months of 1909 show that
thirteen per cent more ears were used than in
the same ten months of 1905 and more than
were used in the same ten months in 1907.
