Richmond Daily Register.
Dear Sir
AS citizen and taxpayer i'll the
city of Ric!or,ond | thought thai
a few lines at the present time
might be OF interest to the voters
and help for bigger and bet
ter Richmond.
Last month there was school
bond election held in this CITY and
it was very gratifying to note
through the issues Of your pap
er that some citizens were inter
ested enough to go into the mat
ter with the school board in re-
gard to the manner in which the
money was to be spent.
The coming city and county
primary is now less than a month
off and notice through your pa
per that a few days ago there was
committee of citizens met and
selected six gentlemen to MAX
the race for councilmen Of the
city of Richmond. This committee
is entitled to a vote of thanks
from the citizens of Richmond
for they have shown they are
public-spirited citizens and are
interested in the welfare and pro-
0reSS of Richmond.
The six gentlemen who have
agreed to make the race for the
office of City Councilmen de-
serve the whole and hearty sup
port of every democratic voter OF
the city who wishes to continue to
see Richmond forge to the front.
| have been a citizen and pro-
perty owner of Richmond for n
of years and at this time
of the year. just before pri
mary election. | have listened
with deal of interest. the manner
in which the people look upon
elections, YOU can hear them in
groups. on the street or in the
business houses discussing poll
ties and it isvery evident that they
are only interested in the races
OF the county and it is seldom
case you ever hear the office OF
city councilman mentioned. while
the welfare and progress of the
town. which all citizens should
be interested in. solely depends on
this body.
The striking part OF it is that
we are so different in this respect
from Our neighboring towns, for
instance take Paris. Ky.
The present council OF Paris.
Ky. consists of the following
gentlemen:
n. Ford Brent. seed merchant
and commission man.
c. w. Spears, miller and com
mission man.
Edw. Burke. wealthy farmer.
J. ]. Williams. bookkeeper anil
cashier Paris Milling Co.
Hugh Brent. real estate agent.
Geo. l.. Dovle. assistant cashier
Peoples Deposit Bank and Trust
Company.
The candidates that are running
for the office of councilman in tn"
coming primary are the follow
ng gentlemen:
c. w. Spears. for reelection.
]. J. Williams. for reelection.
Geo. l.. Doyle. for reelection.
VIM. Kennedy, doctor.
Geo. Speaks. real estate agent.

CITIZENS SHOULD THINK CAREFULLY
ABOUT WHAT THIS TAXPAYER SAYS
w. w. Mitchell, banker.
r. c. Ruggles, auto dealer.
Claude Rednan, auto dealer.


Claude Rednan, auto dealer.
Jas. Connell, farmer.
Frank Kiser, banker.
Bernard Santen, banker.
Paris, Ky, has to my knowl-
edge, done more public improve
ments in the past five years than
any other town its size, in Cen
trail Kentucky.
Take Our next door neighbor.
Danville, KY, town. which we
will all have to admit is one of
the best small towns in Kentucky
and mas one of the lowest tax
rates. Conditions such as ex-
ist in Danville are brought about
by having a board of council of
conservative, able business men.
The present council Of Danville
consists of the following gentle
men:
VIM. Anderson, miller.
II. L. Nichols, laundry1nan.
G.. A. McRoberts. president of
Farmers National Bank.
J. A. Robinson, retired capital
ist and house builder.
L. T. DUNCAN, insurance man.
Z. G.. Dunn. hardware merchant
]. c. Davis, grain dealer
c. A. Rust. cabinet maker.
c. p. Cecil, merchant.
Forest Fitzgerald, coal dealer.
All of this board of council are
candidates for reelection with
the exception of G.. A. McRoberts
and Mr. R. l.. Salter of the firm
OF Chestnut -Salter Hardware
firm. was substituted for him.
1t seems to me that the matter
Of the selection of a city council
should be of the utmost import
ance to the taxpayers of COM
| am reliably informed
that the assessed valuation of the
property of Richmond is $4.50O.-
900. and a tax rate of $1.S5 would
mean an income Of $S3.25O. that
the license ordinance brings a re-
turn of about $4,000 annually.
while the penalty and interest on
back taxes and revenue from 9th
er sources run the total amount to
around 100000. every cent OF
this money is spent through th',
hands of the City Council.
There are contracts betWee'
public utilities and city continual
" coming mp and these companies
come before the council with the
best legal talent that money can
procure and the interests of tn
citizens are represented by tho
council who have to enter int
contracts with these companies.
other matters OF great import
ance to the taxpayers, too numer-
Gus to mention, are continually
coming before this body and
whatever action they take is
on the city and the cit
zens must abide by. therefore. /
think it is high time for the citi-
zcns O take an interest in the Sc
lection of their representatives.
I am merely a citizen of Rich
nond but am interested in its
welfare and thought at this time
it may be for the advancement OF
the town to call the attention of
the voters to the important duty
before them on August 6, next.
Hoping you will find space for
this in your daily. am.
Yours truly,
A TAX PAYER.

WILL remove field AGENT
Statement BY Estabrook Expiain7
Reasons Why Break Was Made
Lack OF Funds One Cause

Washington.-Toge with an an
nouncement stating that relations be-
tween the United States department
of agriculture and the Georgia state
market bureau were officially severed
on September 80, by l.. M. Estabrook,
chief of the bureau of markets and
crop estimates, officials recently an.
nounced that the present field agent
for Georgia, John s. Dennee, will
shortly be transferred to Baltimore.
where he will conduct more important
work in the organization of a similar
branch in the state Of Maryland.
1t is indicated that his successor
will be 2. r. Pettet, of Atlanta, now
engaged in departmental work in
Washington.
According to Mr.. Estabrook's state
ment the severance Of relations be-
tween the federal department and the
state was made following complaint
Of Mr. Dennee, charging the state COM
missioner with failure to provide prop
er facilities for the successful conduct
Of the office. He also said there was
a lack of true cooperative spirit on
the part of the state commissioner.
"The agreement between the United
States department of agriculture and
the departments of the various states
where the idea Of mutual cooperation
is in effect said Mr.. Estabrook, 'is
that the two shall collaborate in conf
piling and publishing the data at
hand. In the state of Georgia it has
been shown by Mr.. Dennee that the
state department of agriculture has
defaulted in its side of the contract,
being unable to furnish proper office
space and enough clerical force to
materially assist in the conduct of
the business.
