WILL SEEK TO PREVENT
CONSTRUCTION OF DITCH

The James F. Collins heirs and w.
II. Williams and Mrs. ]. w. Mercer,
and others, parties whose lands were
assessed for the construction of a
public ditch running through Muddy
creek bottoms, and whose assessment
in the aggregate amounts to more
than one-half the total sum estimat-
ed as necessary to construct the
ditch, have employed the law firm of
Barnes & Smith to set aside the
judgment establishing the ditch and
will also seek to enjoin the contrac-
tors from constructing it and the
issue of bonds for its construction.
There are nearly $4,000 involved
in this enterprise and the contract
has already been let for the digging
of the ditch to Messrs. Bennett &
Schamehorn, who have part of the
machinery for work on the grounds.
Bonds have already been advertised
to be sold on Monday, January 5,
covering a period of ten years.

MORE PAY FOR KENTUCKY
RURAL ROUTE CARRIERS

Washington, Dec. 22.-Kentucky
rural carriers may be pardoned If
they felicitate among themselves ov-
er the splendid prospect for securing
an increase in salary. The House
Committee on post-offices and post
roads, in its executive sessions, has
decided upon an increase of salary
for these public servants the details
of which will be made public when
the bill is reported to the House. IL
is known, however, that the increase
is substantial, amounting in the case
of standard route to about fifty
dollars year and on other routes
in proportion. The theory upon
which the increase is to be granted
is that the establishment and subse-
quent enlargement of the parcels
post has imposed upon the rural car
riers a burden which they never an
ticipated. The total amount of the
increase, spread over the country at
large, will be about $2,2O0,000 per
annum. Rural carriers are obliged
to furnish their own wagons and it
was represented to the committee
that i'm many instances the great
volume of bulky parcels post mail
will make it necessary for the car
riers to go to the expense of provid-
ing themselves with larger vehicles.
