The Voice of the Tcmptcr.


The telephone bell in the humble apart
ment Of Harold Dogstory, the press
agent, disturbed his SAUNDERS as he lay
dreaniIy doing upon the divan in the
farthest corner Of his den. Placing his
imported Chinest pipe upon the table,
and with an expression Of annoyance,
the celebrated press agent, who had
dreamed a hundred famous dreams in
that same spot, lifted the receiver from
the hook and inquired
who is it?"
over the wires came voice OF won
drous sweetness. soft and cooling as a
turtle dove wooing its mate. and the
press agent was instantly soothed

Harold DOgstory with a light heart
hung up the receiver and began 10 whistle.
This unwonted gayety in the young man
brought his devoted wife. Katherine. from
the nursery. where she was busy washing
the dog.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
For the ensuing year, will make
but few recommendations at this
time. The system Of city parks may
have to receive your attention. If so,
Park Committee will be appointed
at the proper time, unless the Coun-
Gil should decide to create a Park
Commission.
hope to see a City. Hall erected
within the present year that will be
in every way creditable to the city.
The lot upon which the present
building stands fronts 80 feet on
Main street and extends a full
square. 1t is large enough for all
purposes, and a public building
and office building combined
could be made a paying investment
from rentals.
The city will be called upon to
assist the Public Schools in the
erection of High School building,
and the matter of making the High
School donation of building site
must receive your immediate con-
sideration, as options on property
wanted for that purpose will expire
on Jan. 18th.
During the year 1910 the purchase
period of the Hopkinsville Sewer
age Company's franchise will arrive
and if the city does not purchase
the system, it will not have another
opportunity to do so until 1915.
In the Spring of 1908 an ordi.
nance was passed revoking
all permits granted to
or contracts entered into with the
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph
Company since its franchise expired
ia August 1902. The Company soon
after applied for a franchise and
the matter of arranging certain
minor details was taken up by the
Corporations Committee but never
brought to a conclusion. In my iudg.
IN ent this Company should be given
an opportunity to purchase
"a franchise, the terms of
which have been practically agreed
upon, and that too without further
delay.
A new Board of Health is to be
chosen this month and a secretary
elected to discharge the actual du-
ties of Health Officer.
The work of improving
the old Pioneer Graveyard
was begun last spring but no
real progress made. An appropria-
ton of a few hundred dollars should
be made this year to carry out
the plan of erecting a monument
to the old settlers, using the broken
headstones scattered over the
ground in the masonry of the base.
This work can be done for $500 and
with an appropriation of $3.50, be-
lieve popular subscriptions can be
relied upon to finish the work.
i have heretofore pointed out the
urgent necessity of an ordinance
providing proper punishment for
violations of the laws pertaining to
legalized weights and measures in
the sale of commodities. The living
expenses of the people are now
higher than ever know before, and
no dealer should be allowed to take
of this fact to give his
customers less than they pay for, by |
resorting to the dishonest methods of |
short weights and false measures.
In the large cities there are strict
regulations of these matters and
as a progressive city,
should guard the property interests
of its citizens with as much care as
other cities.
The attention of the Council is
called to section of chapter VII of
