INSURANCE Rates
TROUBLE SETTLED
BY AGREEMENTS
Water Company Will Make Certain
improvements and City VIII Have
More Men at Fire Department
Which Save City an Increase.

1t appears that the threatened in
crease in fire insurance rates for the
city Of Maysville has been stayed by
agreements reached between the
states rate making authorities, the
Maysville Water Company and the city
officials.
1t develops that the Maysville Water
Company has at its plant an extra
pump which has been used in times
past to prime the larger pumps. BY
an agreement the water company will
electrify this pump SO that it can be
used an an auxiliary pump and will
therefore meet the requirement of the
Kentucky Actuarial Bureau. This
agreement was reached with Mr.. A.
Clemmons, hydraulic engineer for the
rate making bureau, who was here
Friday.
Mr.. Clemmons also suggested that
he city's fire department should be
improved considerably by having
three additional firemen and the aux
iliary fire engine within close reach
# the city's fire hall. He suggested
that to meet the requirements Of q
larger fire fiihting force without
greater expense 80 the city. an agree
ment might be made with three un-
married men of the city to furnish
hem with home at the fire depart
mert and this suggestion met with the
Gpproval of a majority of the members
council who attended a meeting of
he committee-of- held FRI
lay evening. 1t is also to be arranged
to move the additional fire fighting
auto to point closer to the fire de-
partment headquarters.
Official action in complying with Mr..
Clemmons' suggestions will be taken
at the next meeting of the City Coun-
Gil.

SUGGESTS BRIDGE
over OHIO HERE
FOR 4. & P. ROAD
Expert Who Promoted Ironton.Rus
/ sell Bridge Interested In Bridge
> Over the Ohio River ut
Maysville.

1t has become known on good au
thority that the financial expert who
promoted the financing Of the Russell
Ironton bridge over the Ohio River
has recently visited Maysville and has
quietly investigated the probability OF
building a river bridge here to con-
meet Maysville and Aberdeen. As
Maysville is the gateway to the South
and the southern junction for the
great trans-continental highway being
built through southern Ohio, 1t has at
stracted this expert and his associates.
After making a careful investigate n
here. It is learned that the expert is
Maysville and is now in communica-
ton with local interests with view
OF financing such a project in the
very near future The gentleman pro-
poses to finance the Maysville-Aber-
deem bridge In axactly the same man
ner in which the 1ronton-Rucsell
bridge was financed and, II necessary,
suggests that outside financial assist
ance can be obtained.
The matter has not developed
farther than the stage Of investigation
but something definite may develop
within q short time
The erection OF bridge over the
Ohio River at Maysville would be
great step forward and would make
Aberdeen and Maysville practically
one city. The expert. who is studying
the matter gives It as his opinion that
an Ohio River bridge at Maysville
would be a paying proposition within
q very few years after the completion
Of the Atlantic & Pacific highway to
Aberdeen as thousands Of tourists us
ing the A. & p. each year would de-
sire to turn Southwark at this point
