y BUILD STORM SEWERS
oil Under a provision or the charter
0 storm sewers can be constructed and

c ting property owners The council
c should take up the question of build
o Ing storm water sewers everywhere
j f they are necessary ala It would be a
In wise sanitary and a good economic
e measure In numerous places
I + throughout the city there is insuffi
Vcleat drainage for the storm water
a which results in overflowed gutters
e and sometimes big washouts of the
I streets which Is a nuisance In the
k first Instance and an expanse in the
e latter Heretofore it has been con
tended that the city had to bear the
expense of the sewers but this is an
s error
errorSection
r Section 3105 of the charter says
u the general council shall have the
r power to construct sewers and may
p assess the entire cost to an amount
not exceeding one dollar a front
foot upon the tot s or lands abutting
t or bounding the streets or alleys on
or tinder which the sewers are to bb
constructed This Is due authority
and the matter should bo taken up
i by the council as soon aa advisable

The ticaZ Notes
hiss Crosman is probably the moo I
popular actress coming to Paducah I
and her audience of lat night was
but an additional evidence of the I
esteem in which she is held For
Holy week It was a largo audience
and its measure of appreciation was
full to the brim point
Her play this season Mary
Mary Quite Contrary Is not ru
good a vehicle as Mistress Nell II or
The Sword of the King In which
play Miss Crosman was seen here on
htr other visits but It is a bright
clever comedy with some very amus
tag situations and opportunities in
plenty for Miss Crosman to display
her buoyant vivacious talents She
Is as handsome as over and romps
through her scenes with the same
girlish spirit the keen deft touches
of humor that first brought her into
prominenceHer
Her audience last night appro
elated her work and showed it At
tho end of the second act she was
given three curtain calls and all dur
log tho play her work was well re
celved
celvedMiss
Miss Crosman always has a1 good
company and the organization with
her this year in up to her standard
Boyd Putnam her leading man is a
finished actor and his work last
night bespeaks his gifts The other
parts of the play were in capable
hands 1o2nJ

WORK OX THE NEW STREETS
The board of public works will
meet this afternoon It has a good
deal of work on hand and will con
skier much of It today
Tho question of cleaning the
streets will come up for settlement
Some of the members of the board
are In favor of purchasing a flush
ing water cart to clean the streets
and obviate the dust nuisance of the
present sweeper system
The board will also discuss the
proposition of experimenting proba
bly this year on a gravel street con
structed on a cdncrete foundation
and tho gravel surface to be mixed
with tar or pitch The curbing and
gutter would be concrete and so al
so would the pavement The board
thinks such a street would make an
excellent resident street Mayor YeI
ser also Is anxious for such an ex
periment to be made and the propo
sition is to take Fifth street which
It seems to bo tho desire of everyone
to see Improved and try It on por
tions of the street
Storm Savers
Secretary of the Board Wilhelm Is
also anxious for the board to rec
ommend the construction of storm
sewers on the gravel streets where
they are necessary for proper drain
age and he contends and it seems
Is I borne out by the charter that
such work Is to be done at the ex
perise of the abutting property own
ors This would save the streets from
washing away and be a good sanlta
ryfpf asure and will coma up for
consideration

In privileges the freo uso of the
malls by the government for Its pub

swell the second class mall all of
which Is charged by Mr Slbley to the
newspapers Tho luxuries of the pos

pers The long distance service Is not
for newspapers to any great extent
The distribution of newspapers falls
only to a small extent on the mall
carriers In cities The newspaper mall
Is not collected by postotllco carriers
It is taken to tho poatofllco by em

service the newspapers pay 20 a lon
which Is a high price for the service
