over 200 Years Old.

The railroads as we know them to-
day probably originated with the tram
ways of over two hundred years ago,
and in the term tramways it is gen.
orally understood to mean street rail
ways where vehicles, whether pro.
PEELED by animal or mechanical power
are supported on tracks laid on public
highways, and without interfering
with the ordinary vehicular traffic.
Records show that the earliest form OF
railroad in which tram rail was used
was in the year 1716, the rail being a
fiat piece of iron spiked to longi-
tudinal stringer. This soon proved toe
weak as the loads increased, the track
buckling and becoming rough and un
even.

Platform and Officers.

calls attention to the fact that the
State Board of Equalization has in
creased the assessment of property
in Kentucky $1S,OOO,000 over last
year, nearly all of which, it says, has
been added to real estate. 1t admits
as true, in theory, that the present
tax laws are sufficient if rigidly en-
forced as claimed by the State Board
of Equalization, but declares that ev
cry attempt at stricter enforcement
will result in repression.
