Hartford Bonds Sold.

Sealed bids were opened In Ehe
Mayors office last Friday on the
bonds which were authorized by the
city of Hartford for sewerage and
street purposes at che November cleo
tlon 1906. 1t will be remembered that
the city contracted these bonds at
one time last year, but on the adj
vice of Louisville law firm Nh e
purchasing comanpy turned down the
proposition, which necsssitated the
city securing an opinion from the
Court of Appeals upholding the valid
ity of the bond issue. Three bids
we've offered, all from Chicago par
ties The issue for $12,600, 20 year
bonds with ten year option, to car
ny rate of five and a half percent.

pense of printing ETC., making dheir
offer something like $3.50 and this
firm was awarded the bonds. The

about The first of April and work on
the sewerage system will probably
be under way by May. 1t is chought
THAI. the system can be put in for
about $4,000 or $4,000, leaving $4,000
or $4,000 TO be applied on maodamiz-
ing streets. When this sanitary sewer
age system is installed, and additional
amount mentioned, applied to streets,
Hartford will be the most attractive
city In the Green River Valley from
every point of conception and we may
expect large increase in our popu-
lation as this city will be a mos
healthful location, and will be pro-
vided with all uhe modern utilkies
which can be had in a frs: class

MAY VETO
PENSION BILL
Would Cost State One Mill
ion Dollars Yearly.
Governor Does Not See Where
Money is to Be
Had.

| A Frankfort Dispatch to the Cour-
Ter Journal says: How much will it cost
the State to pay the proposed pen
sions 10 Confederates is not known
and cannot be known until The plan
is tried, but it is known that the cost
would be SO great chat the State can
not pay the pensions. 1t is prac.i-
cally certain that the Governor will
ve,o the bill providing pensions for
the Comeder-ates, no. because the
Governor does not favor pensions
or anything else good for the Con-
federases, but because the State has
no money 10 meet this new obliga-
ton.
1t is estimated by those who have
looked into the matter carefully that
it would cost the State about $500, 900
a year to pay pensions TO the Con-
federate soldiers and that the TAX rate
would have to be Increased 10 cents
TO meet this one item of expense.
The cost of the pensions was not
considered when the bill passed
both houses, and the Legislature put
1t through without considering whether
or not the State had the money TO
meet he OBJ legation imposed. An
increase in the tax rate of 10 cents
would cause yell from THE Taxpayers
who are already burdened
1t is estimated that there are about
5000 Confederate soldiers in Keniucky
and that 4 900 of them would
take advantase CT the pension sys-
tenn. This does noe include the widows
many Of whom would Apply for pen
sdons. The friends of the measures,
at conference The other night with
the Governor. estimated that the COS.
to the State would be anywhere from
100000 10 100000 a year, and the
conservative and bast estimates plac-
ed the tocal amount Required each
year at 100000. AS each cent added
TO the INK levy provided about $4,000
it would require an increase in the
tax rate of 10 cents to pay The PEN
sons to the odd soldiers. without
the increaCe The State owuld not be
able to meet the new obligation and
would go further in deb, each yJap
1t is estimated that an increa,e in
the tax rate of 80 cents would be re-
quired to meet the obligations imqos-
ed upon the State ifall the apprcpnia-
tons passes and allowed 20 become laws
The total obligations would have run
to NEARBY 100000, and this would
have required an INCREASE i'm the tax
raoe OF about 80 cents, which would
have stiqTed up The STATE 10 such
AN extent there would have been al
most a revolution
Probably no Governor who ever sat
in the executive chair would ve,o with
mNTe reluctance ard regret a bill
providing pensions for the old Con-
federate soldiers 1han Gov. Wllls0m.
He feels a great affection for the
old soldiers Of the Lost Cause, and
also feels that they did SO much for
'him,but he finds that the STATE word

they woTe granced, so he is going To
