AYLOR-TOLLEY FIRM

The Taylor-Tolley Motor Company.

ensconced in their new headquarters
at Fourteenth and T streets
This well-known firm now has 4
building IS by 125 feet and with three
floors. They have devoted the two
upper floors to repair work that re-
quires a longer time than half an
hour: the main floor being devoted to
accessories and . general sales room,
with demonstration offices At the
front and the rear will be used as a
floor service for minor repairs and
adjustments OF cars.
One feature that we believe II orig

toners whose cars require but short
time to repair.
There is also a salesroom On the
first floor for the Ford cars and

sheriff McClintock and his depu-
ties and Chief of Police Link and
the members of the police force
claim one of the most unpleasant fea-
tures of their official duties is in hav-
inc to kill dogs on which no license
has been paid. The law in that re-
ssnect is very stringent and they
have been doing their duty, with the
,esult that the unlicensed canine
7opulation of Bourbon county has
been very materially reduced.
The officers have very little SYM
nathv for the adult who does not
thing enough of his or her dog to
nav a small license, but it gets close
- their hearts to see some little boy
or Girl hide their faces and begin to
ory when their pets are led away to
the slaughter.
Persons owning unlicensed dogs
are warned to see that the license
tags are kept attached and also see
that their dogs are kept confined on
the premises between the hours of
sunset and sunrise, as required by
law.

INSPECTOR SAYS FINES FOR
SPEEDING ARE TOO LOW.

Assistant State Inspector and Ex-
aminer Alvin Steger, in making an
examination of the books and records
of Magistrate Samuel Irvine, who re-
Gently suicided in Louisville, has dis
covered over 200 fines of one cent
and costs assessed against automo-
bilists for violating the speed laws.
AS there is a statutory provision fix
ing the penalty in such cases at from
SIS to $40, the report of Inspector
Steger, which is ready for submIs-
sion, will recommend that the bonds
men of the deceased justice be
charged up with $500, which is es-
timated to be approximately the
amount accruing to the State from
these cases. Attorney General Chas.
H. Morris announces that if the
money is not paid, he will institute
suit against Irvine's bondsmen to en-
force recovery.
1t is estimated by the office of the
State Inspector and Examiner that
something like $4,000 may be col
lected from justices in various cities
and town of the State for counter
ancing similar practices.

STATE SCHOOL CENSUS NOW Be
ING TAKEN.

The work of taking the school
census of the State is now in pro-
gress, the law providing that the
census must be taken during the
month of April. The department of
education estimates that the total
census of 1919 will be 618,O92,
which will be an increase of 316 over
last year.
In taking the census, Superintend-
ent Of Public Instruction Gilbert and
his school inspectors are on the alert
to see that the census is not padded
in any community. After the last
school census was taken it was
found that considerable padding had
been done in Kenton county and
Superintendent Gilbert saved the
schools of the State 100000 by TAX
ing off all illegal names.
Under the law cities or counties
may take their school census. The
cities electing to take the census are
Ashland, Central City, Dayton,
Frankfort, Henderson, Ludlow, May

dispatch to his brother, DR.. B. j.
Allen, of Chattanooga, informing the
latter of his serious illness, and re-
uuesting that he come to Lexington
for consultation. Almost immedi-
ately after the telegram was sent,
word was received that DR.. Allen had
died suddenly of heart trouble. The
two kilograms were sent almost SIM
ultaneously and DR.. Allen died with
out knowing of his brothers desire to
see him. Major Allen, although
improved, was not inform
ed of the death of his brother lin
Tennessee until later on.
