ately began going over the assess
ments taking precinct by precinct.
The only change this board will be
required to make, according to the

bear the most of this increase.

taxes in the'county, the board will ad-
journ and notify all those property
owners whose assessment has been in

LARGEST BUILDINGS IN
CATLETTSBURG BURNED
Fire Wipes Out Business District of
City; Gas Main Breaks Causing
Schools To Close.

Catlettsburg, KY, Mar. 8. - A block
in the center of Catlettsburg was
wiped out by fire this morning. The
Alger House, the Oldest hotel in this
end of the state, built by the late DAN
iel Eba, was burned to the ground. The
Big Sandy grocery store, the Hampton
grocery store, the largest business
houses in the town, were destroyed,
with other smaller buildings.
The loss is estimated at 100000
with little insurance. Assistance was
summoned by the local fire department
from Huntington, w Va, and Ashland,
Ky. Owing to leak which was caused
in the gas main by the fire, the gas
supply of the city was shut off and all
schools are closed down and business
is at a standstill.

next STEP IN WATER
PROBLEM MAY Be
HEALTH BOARDS
City Council Not Likely To Offer Any
Counter Proposition To Water
Company On Filtration Plant
At This Time.

The next step in the Maysville water
filtration proposition will be watched
with great interest by the citizens of
the city. It is not known Just now
what that next step might be but it is
hardly though that the City Council
will be willing to make a counter
proposition to the Water Company for
the erection of a filtration plant at this
time.
City officials, however, are insisting
that the Water Company keep their
chlorinator operating constantly and
the public will await the arrival of
next Monday - March 18th when the
Staate Board of Health says they will
endeavor to obtain an Injunction
stopping the Water Company from
pumping water through the mains.
Some contend that if such an injunc-
tion is granted, and there are many
who doubt its being granted, the prob
lem will be finally solved for it will
then be necessary either for the Water
Company to make plans for a f1ltra-
tion plant or the city will be compelled
to seek forfeit of its mortgage on the
company's plant and take it over

DR.. YAzELL WILL Be
CANDIDATE FOR CON-
GRESSIONAL HONORS
Mason COunty's Representative VIII
Seek His Party's Endorsement for
Congress man From the Ninth
Congressional District.

Dr.. W. S. Yazell, prominent local
physician and Mason county's repre-
sentative in the Kentucky General AS
semby, announced while here Sunday
that he expected to be a candidate for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gressman from the Ninth Congression-
al district. His formal announcement
will be made immediately upon the ad-
iournment of the General Assembly.
DR.. Yazell has demonstrated his
ability as a law maker in the present
session of the Legislature and as a
leader he has been signally recognized
by his party in the state. His advice
and council has been sought in the
conferences of the Republican leaders
at Frankfort since he took his seat in
the lower house and his influence has
been felt at Frankfort as the influence
of few men has been felt during this
session.
More than q month ago the Repub
lican Representatives and Senators of
the counties composing the Ninth Con-
gressional district in caucus at Frank
fort, unanimously endorsed DR.. Yazell
for the Republican nomination for
Congress and the leaders of his party
in this district since that time have
been urging him to make the race. DR..
Yazell is engaged in very busy prac-
tice in Maysville and it was for many
weeks that he could not decide to sac
rifice his practice for seat in the Ma
tional Congress. Through his close as
sociation with affairs of state at
Frankfort during the past two months,
however, he has become very much in
terested in legislative matters and is
of the opinion that he can well serve
his district at Washington and has fin
ally decided to make the race.
Dr. Yazell's ability, his influence
with leaders of the district and the
popularity he has gained through
splendid legislation fostered by him
and enacted by the General Assembly
of the state, all go to make him very
formidable candidate for this high
honor.
Speaking of his ability and his in
fluence at Frankfort, "The Repub-
lican" weekly newspaper published
at Frankfort, last week said: "Dr. w
S. Yazell, Representative from Mason
county, is one of the best speakers on
the floor of the Legislature. DR.. Yazell
is being urged by leaders to make the
race for Congress in the Ninth District
and he is Congressional timber too"

EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
PROPOSED FOR OPERA HOUSE
Washington Theater VIII Have New
Seats and Interior VIII Be Re.dec-
grated at Close Of Season.

Manager T. NJ. Russell, of the Wash
ington Theater, has been authorized by
the Washington Fire Company, owners
of the Washington, to make certain
extensive improvements in the house
at the close of the theatrical season
Mr., Russell today stated that the chief
improvements now contemplated by
the management of the theater was the
installation of new opera chairs all
over the building.
The. best and most comfortable
chairs obtainable will be purchased
and installed during the summer
months.
Another contemplated improvement
is the re-decoration of the interior of
the building, which is needing atten-
ton badly. This work will probably
require considerable time and work
cannot begin until during the summer
when the theater will be closed for a
few weeks for this special purpose.

ALL PRESENT SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS WILL RETIRE.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing about the effect of the Yazell
school bill on the local Board of Edu-
cation. The Public Ledger stated that
six members of the present board of
education would be required to step
down before their time expired and
this seemed to convey the impression
to some that the other six members
would remain on the board. This is
not the case as the terms of the other
six members will expire in 1922 and in
the election, in November 1921 com
plete new board will be elected but
this new board will consist Of only six
members.
