The Purchase Tadccah.

K. U. Sues Again Kentucky Utilities Company brought suit in McCracken Circuit Court seeking to invalidate a Paducah ordinance calling for an election on the question of municipal purchase of the company's Taducah power system. It was another chapter in the city's 12-year fight to operate its own electric system with T.V.A. power.

In the suit, K. U. sought an injunction barring the city from placing the question before the voters at the November 3 election, this year. K. U.

contends the law doesn't permit such an election until after a purchase price agreement has been reached by both parties. No such agreement has been effected. $600,000 Sought Three former Illinois Central Railroad freight conductors seeking $600,000 damages from the company for alleged injuries suffered in wrecks were enjoined by McCracken Circuit Court from bringing suit in a Chicago court.
