The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1913-06-04

In this day of development
and expanding commerce, it
seems strange that such a fertile
and resourceful section as South
Central Kentucky, embracing
eight counties should be without
railroad, but so it is and so it
may be for many years yet un-
less the enterprising citizens
within the isolated territory
unite in effort and means
and work to this particular pur-
pose. Talk of q railroad to Co.
lumbia has often been INDUCED
in, but every effort to build has
passed like a phantom, and this
county is the same distance from
railroads as it was thirty years
ago. Within the eight counties
much mineral and timber wealth
exist, and in addition to this
their agricultural products are
far from an inviting market. In
the face of bad roads, remote
from boat or train, we are not
worrying over what is or may be
in store for this section.

unique society for the promotion Of
the export trade. It was founded In
1872, and weekly lectures are given,
dealing with subjects of interest to it's
members. A striking feature is the
granting of stipends to capable young
men who desire to go abroad for train
Ing in foreign countries. An appli-
cant for stipend must have some
knowledge Of the English language
and Of the commercial language Of the
country to which he intends to go.
He must also submit testimonials as
to character and ability. The stipend
is to be large enough to cover the
expenses Of the journey and to tide
over a reasonable period Of time until
employment can be found. The maxi
mum sum granted is $500. Should the
recipient later find himself in . po-
sition to repay the stipend to the asso-
citation, he rs expected to do 80. He
must give his word Of honor that he
will justify the confidence placed in
him by making the best use of his So
journ abroad in increasing his knowl-
edge and employing it in the promo
ton of Stettin's trade. He is also
obliged to make quarterly reports to
the association, in which he relates his
experiences abroad, describes trade
conditions, gives details as to produc-
ton and consumption, climate, ex-
ports and imports, and especially how
Stettin's trade with the country can

SEWAGE PLANT
IS CONSIDERED
Mayor Recommends 1t to
Council Saves Money

Erection Of an incinerating plant
for the proper disposal of garbage is
under consideration by Mayor Ferd
Garretson and the aldermen. The
executive placed the subject before
the Council at its meeting last night
and asked thai it be considered al
this time inasmuch as time was near.
ing for the granting Of contract to
remove garbage. He recommended
that the board grant contract for a
shorter term than usual that better
methods of disposal might be adopt
ed.
Accordingly the Council passed a
motion to advertise for bids for the
removal of garbage for terms of one,
two and three years. They will be
received at $50 o'clock Monday
night, April 81. When motion was
made TO advertise no term was stipu-
lated Alderman Seaman suggested
that it be for one and for three or
five years. Alderman Clark suggest
ed further change to one, two or
three years, which was adopted.
Mr.. Garretson's communication
which stated incinerating plants were
found to be self-sustaining and re-
commended the consideration of an
improved method of garbage disposal
was read, received and referred to a
committee of the whole.

created when Harry NJ. Germs moved
