OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

My Dear Sun: | left Emory. Va
on Monday, December 27, 1909. to at
tend the Young Mems Volunteer
Movement, missionary convention.
which met in Rochester n. Y, and
the convention was a grand success.
and nothing was lacking that II ought
to have and nothing put in that
ought to have been left out. There
were in attendance on the convention
about 1000 delegates from among
the students OF the colleges of the
country. and the brains of the world
we're there to speak and entertain us.
A voluntary subscription was taken
up for the ASSISTANCE of the move
ment and the sum of $4,000 was
pledged for the purpose of equipping
and sending out young men TO carry
the gospel TO the regions beyond.
While gone ] saw the sights. and
many things that | shall not forget

Washington and there spent the day

the city hall; but that did not end
the effort of some of the more i'm
Fortunate, and the increase for the
policemen and iremon is in danger
of becoming complicated with other
and less merltorious demands.
One alderman has already asked
for a new kind of Inspector at a
salary of 5000; the city judge asks
for a stenographer at S46O; the city
lamp trimmer asks for S120 more ,
the policemen and firemen ask for an
aggregate of over $1,000 more a
year. Can one not see whittier We
are drifting, when II Is proposed to
put an additional burden OF over
$4,000 on the city before the first
month Of the fiscal year is half gone.
There are employees OF the city,
who do not receive as much az their
labors merit. Among these are the
policemen and fremeu: but it is a
sorry situation, indeed, II. in order to
pay these deserving men something

the income of those. who are getting

he knows what the Office pays and the
expenses of maintaining IT, Yet. he
wanted IL enough TO make a hard
race for reelection. He was one of
those. an increase in whose salary
was considered in December That
project fell through. Now he asks
the city to pay his stenographer S64O
a year. when he maintains his private
law Office in the city hall at no ex-
pense to him. Il is strange that after
all this time, he has just decided that
the city ought to furnish him a stem
ographer.
II is significant that serious objec-
tions were raised to a division of the
committees in the upper board and
that Al Foreman refused to appoint
members of the finance committee
from the lower board until the alder
men had acted. and then packed Il
with partisans. II may be his action
had nothing to do with the present
onslaught on the city treasury: but
It does throw the responsibility on
the majority of that committee. who
will be closely watched and held ac-
countable for any waste OF city funds.
The taxpayers have come across
with additional revenue for the city
out OF their pockets and are proud to
observe the pubic Improvements that
have been put underway with Il: but
they will not stand for any squander-
ing on the part of irresponsible coun-

in keeping track of diseases. Several
times inciplent epidemies of serious
diseases have been checked by the
watchfulness of the department.
No one, excepting fellow practition-
ers. can understand the responsible
ity and the handicaps on the health
officer. who Is striving to do his duty
and protect his fellow citizens from
the results of their own carelessness.

HEALTH A FIRST CONSIDERA.
TTON

The material development of a
city depends upon Health conditions
for no matter how well content the
natives may linger in their ancestral
lack OF sanitation. strangers will in
quire and decline to take up their
abode In place, where they are sub
jected to exposure and in jeopardy
of their lives from disease.
The achievements OF the Paducah
health department last year. as clear
ly set forth In the annual report,
should merit from the general coun-
Gil consideration for the specific rec
concentrations OF the health officer,
who seeks to place Paducah among
the cities adopting advanced sanitary
precautions The fight against flies
and mosquitoes. the proposed tu-
berculosis colony, the laboratory,
where the department may have
equipment for meteorological in
vestigations; the central milk depot,
where tubercuhn tests may be made
every day: and such other matters
as the legislative department must
provide for. are nothing less than
conditions demand.
Nothing else is 80 important as hu-
man life. Prevention Of disease is the
medical watchword of the day. as
conservation OF wealth Is the econo-
mic policy II benefits little, that
the better part OF the city is well
sewered and paved and drained. and
that screens are kept at the doors
and local precautions adopted, II
there Is within germ carrying dist
ance a district that is not severed
and paved and drained. and protected
against epidemics.
Il has cost Paducah but a trlfle TO
accomplish much good the last year,
deducting the expense OF the small
pox epidemic, which nobody be
grudges.

PUBLIC REVENUE AND PUBLIC
DOODLE


II Is no wonder that deserving ex-
perts in city departments are under
paid and that citizens object to raises
in assessments and increases in tax
rates and Incense fees; since II seems
that whenever the revenue Is in
creased. the current expenses OF the
municipality are raised correspond
ingiy. and every time a deserving en-
ploy asks for more money. every one
with pull goes after a like increase,
and uses his influence to thwart the
others until his cupidity is gratifed.
During the last year Paducah paid
on the balance of floating debt,
made many important permanent
public improvements and closed the
year with a cash balance This year
further much needed improvements
are contemplated. and IT is up to the
representative citizens in the general
council TO cut out all the petty graft
right in the Start; for we can see It
coming.
