BIGBU|LD|NGPLAN
IS SERIOUSLY YCONS|D-
Erred BY LOCAL firm
Maysville Is Greatly In Need Of
Houses and Local Firm is Plan
ming a Big Building Program
For This Summer-Resl.
dances at Premium
Here.

There are probably few cities in the
entire country which have so lew
houses for rent as Maysville. This Is
more than likely one of the greatest
draw backs the city has in inducing
factories or plants which employ a
number of men to locate here. One of
the first things they think about is
that they will be unable to find homes
for their employees.
In the winter months all of the rent
ed houses in the city are occupied by
men moving to Maysville for the win
ter months to work on the tobacco
market and these tobacco men have
not moved out until the city is filled
with men who will work during the
summer on the dam and desire to
bring their families to Maysville. At
the present time no suitable residence
can be rented in the city of Maysville
and folks who have sold their homes
to out-of-town people are having the
biggest job of their lives to find a
suitable place to move.
It has just become known that one
Of our local firms Is contemplating a
big building plan for this summer that
would give to the city quite number
Of new and up-to-date homes which
could be rented at a reasonable rate.
This firm has not definitely decided
upon this plan but 1t is more than
likely that they will do so in the very
near future. Building lots are almost
as scarce in Maysville as houses but
there is yet quite bit Of territory in
our suburbs where good and substan-
tial residences could be erected.
Every one who Is looking to the in
terest of Maysville is hoping that the
contemplated plan will be carried out
this summer and that we will not have
this serious problem to face us next
year.
Maysville is growing and will con-
tinue to grow but we must find some
place to house the people. This is q
question in which every business man
In Maysville is interesterd and II the
local firm does undertake this exten.
sive building plan they should have
and will have the hearty cooperation
of all true Maysvillians.

BROUGH WILL APPOINT
 DIGESTER OF STATUTES

 Representative Sullinger, Who De
 spised Ground Governor Walks
 on," Lost Fight. Special to The Star
 Little Rock, Feb. 7.-Representa- tive Sullinger of Mississippi county, lost his fight in the House yesterday against the appointment by the gov ernor of the digester for the re-di- gesting of the statutes of Arkansas. The bill as passed in the Senate, pro- vided for the appointment by the governor, but the House, as a matter of compromise, amended to make the appointment by the governor and the supreme court.
 MT. Sullinger, in leading the fight against it asserted that his opposi- tion was not personal, altho he ad- mitted that he "despised the very ground the governor walks on." He objected to the governor having any thing whatever to do with the selec- tion of the digester.
 The bill passed by a vote of 79 to 8, which was taken to mean com plete victory for the governor.

 Seed Bed and Grow Crop.
 It will soon be time to plant to- bacco beds and J. w. Howard of Hat field, R. F. D. No. 1, an experienced grower gives some advice that will doubtless help those planning on growing tobacco. Among other things MT. Howard advises as follows:
 "Pick a place for your bed where there is dogwood or hickory growing, and burn off a place as large as you want. Burn one day and dig it the next, but dig it shallow, not over one inch deep. Use one teaspoonful of seed for eight feet square and when the seed begins to come up and there is danger of a freeze, cover the bed as the plant will not stand freezing. For this section pick trampled place or piece of tight land to raise tobac- co on. After setting out, when the plants get large enough, top to ten leaves. There is a great deal to be learned about handling and curing tobacco"

URGENT CALL FOR
 SPECIAL TAXES
Those on Whom Income and Excess Profits Taxes Fall Must Make Re- turns by March 15-Advisors
 Will Assist Taxpayers.

Little Rock, Feb. 10.-That there will be no general extension of time beyond March 15 for the filing of re- turns and for the payment of Income and Excess Profits taxes due on that date, is the decision of Daniel c. Roper, Commissioner of Internal Rev enue. The announcement was made today by Collector Jack Walker im- mediately following the approval by the Senate and House of the report of the conferees on the new Revenue Bill.
 Ut is necessary to get the initial tax payments in by March 15,' says Commissioner Roper. "No other course is possible. Some months ago, the Treasury issued Certificates of indebtedness to an amount approxi- mating $800,00C,00 maturing March 15. The first payment of the Income and Excess Profits taxes for 1918 as planned for that date, to meet this huge obligation.
 "The American people have proven that there is no emergency too great to be met and solved by cooperation. This present situation is another emergency which can be overcome by cooperative effort. The bureau ex- tends its every force toward this end, and l am relying upon the people to meet the situation ole-heartedly.
 "The Internal Revenue Bureau muct carry out the program prescrib- ed in the new law, which requires all returns for 1918 to be filed on or be- fore March 15, 1919, and requires the first quarterly payment or the entire payment to be made on or before that date.
 Every taxpayer who can possibly do so, is urged to make full payment of his income tax on or before March 1919. The quarterly payment method is intenden for taxpayers whose fin- ancing of the tax at one time would tend to upset local financial condi- tions.
 "The approval of the report of the
 
 conferees by the Senate and House of Representatives brings the new Rev. enue Bill to the point where it may be assured to be law. The Internal Revenue bureau has been making pre- parations to collect thu taxes which it provides, and is now putting all of it's efforts into aiding the taxpayers to fulfill the obligations imposed.
 "The bureau has arranged to send an advisory force of several thou sands of deputies and agents to assist taxpayers. These officers will be stationed at convenient points where they may be consulted without charge. Taxpayers should take the initiative and get in touch with these revenue men for any needed advice and assistance in preparing returns.
 "The forms for the tax returns are being printed and all forms viii be in the hands of collectors between Feb ruary 15 and March l."
