KENTUCKY GETS
A LARGE SLICE
Of The Appropriation For Rivers.
Over 5000, 1000 For The
Ohio River Alone.

Washington, April S.-The rivers and
harbors appropriation bill, as it will be
reported from the senate committee on
commerce next Monday, will carry
$50, 566,41 in actual appropriation of
cashand amounts involved in continu-
ing contracts. As the bill was passed
by the house it carried $42, $50, 176, of
which S35, 351 TAG represented cash and
81, 2O6, 430 containing contracts.
The bill contains $499, 600 for Ken
lucky, 1927, 500 for Indiana and 81, $685.
600 for the Ohio river.
Among the increases made by the
senate committee covering both cash
appropriations and sums involved in
continuing contracts are: Kentucky,
5000, 900; Ohio, 1l0,61l; Ohio river,
81, 100000
Senator Paynter and Representative
Ben Johnson worked faithfully for the
$3.50, 900 appropriation for Green river,
and overcame numerous Obstacles be-
fore final success was achieved
The appropriations carries with it
$3.50, 900, which is much larger than was
expected by those not acquainted with
the situation. 1t is probable that with
this amount two locks and dams can be
built, making Green river navigable up
to within a mile of Munfordville. This
will mean that thousands of acres of
mineral lands in Hart county will be
opened and will make Munfordville an
important shipping point
Representative Johnson's colleagues
say that his work in securing the appro-
priation was the most adroitly managed
piece of legislative engineering seen in
Washington in long time. Mr.. John
son soon found out that the rivers and
harbors committee, in the house, would
oppose the appropriation. He there
fore very wisely made no effort before
this committee, but confined his work
to the committee on commerce in the
senate.
This is the first appropriation made
for rivers and harbors since Mr.. John
son has been in congress, and is not
short of miraculous that he succeeded
in getting the appropriation through,
especially by vote that was unani-
nous.
Representative Johnson and Senator
Paynter made personal appeals to each
member of the committee, and Johnson
made arguments before the committee
as a whole.
The argument before the committee
relati\ to the resources to be develop
ed by making the river navigable is
said by number of members of the
committee to have been one of the
most logical they had ever heard, ex-
planning in detail the numerous advan-
tages to be derived by building these
locks and dams.

A BLESSING In Bamboo.

Some houses are closer than broth
ers. aud suburban people frequently
miss the exclusive life they have been
accustomed to in their broader acres
or even in the narrower limits of a
town house.
The privacy Of home is something to
be mourned. for it is almost a thing of
earlier farm life and Of the past. Moth
ing that can be done to call back the
smallest fragment of it should be OBJ
iected to by our good neighbors. to
whom personally there may not be the
least objection.
One way to accomplish the desired
privacy is the free use of the bamboo
screen upon all porches. If it be tact
fully rolled at times ii may never
make itself felt as too complete bar
rier to even the sensitive neighbor.
and. indeed. it may be welcomed by
him also as a merciful protection.
1t is a most excellent plan to put up
screens before the next and later

AFTERMATH
Of HEIN1z
BLK. SALE

The consensus OF opinion seems to
be that the Heintz block, which was
recently purchased by the Hammond
heirs, was bought at a very fair fig
ure. Some dealers are inclined to think
that $4,000 is a low price for the prop
erty and others thinks that it is all the
property is worth.
There are arguments on both sides.
On one side the fact Is pointed out that
the property earns 8 " per cent even
at the present low rentals and is ca
pable of earning IL per cent If the
leases were to be renewed at the pres
ent time. This is a fair return on a
conservative investments in which the
speculative element is practically re-
moved
1t is also pointed out that the prop
erty is located at the intersection of
the two principal business streets of
the city. This is a fact that cannot
be ignored.
Other Claims Made.
On the other hand, the claim is made
that the business district is going south
on Holman street. 1t Is claimed that
the corners of Sibley and Holman
street, or the corners of Fayette and
SeieetS dle oeStiHeu 10 De the
business center of the city.
Whether the judgment of such claim
ants is good will remain to be seen.
Business has gone south on Holman
street because of the natural expan-
sion of the district and because peo-
pie would rather be located in new
buildings somewhat removed from the
business center of the city than they
would in the old buildings at the four
corners This also accounts for the re-
markable development Of State street
All of these things have a bearing
on the value of property at what Is
known as the four corners At any
