Alderman 0 Davis will at the regular meeting of the board of aldermen next Thursday night take a step that will be hailed with delight bj all public spirited citizens of Paducah lie will Introduce an ordinance to compel every owner of property In the sewer district to connect his or her property with the sanitary sewerage and making It a misdemeanor punishable by a fine everyday to maintain above grounll sjoi etsThe The sanitary sewerage In the first district has been completed six or seven years and only about onethird I of the property owners In the district have connected their property with It which is I an Imposition on the people who have and a menace to public health as well The sewerage system was started under a republican council and when completed a democratic council had succeeded to office The excuse then given for not requiring people to con nert with It was that the people had not sufficiently recovered from paying for the sewerage Itself The real reason was that the old fogies did not know the value of sewerage and did not want the people to connect with It and that some of the members owned a lot of little gunbarrel houses they didnt want to have to connect up because It would cost them something In the course of years when popn lar demand was again for sewerage connection members of the boards urged that such a law cannot bo passed as It would compel people to patronize a corporation the water company but Alderman Davis con alders this the silly rot It Is and will be able to show that Memphis and many other cities that have water companies owned by private compa nles have successfully enforced sew erage connection In addition It will bo shown that people do not have to patronize the water company in order to secure sewerage connections They can flush the pipes with buckets of water If they prefer this primitive mode of flushing the pipes The ordinance will simply compel them to connect with the sanitary sewerage and they can adopt such methods as they deem best and cheapest for flushing the pipes The ordinance will also make It 11 Unable offense to have a surface closet All must bo connected with the sewerage seweragoIt It Is believed that the new ordinance will be passed If It Is not by the present board It will be after the new members get In With their vote which Is half of the general council there Is I already assurance enough from the present members to guarantee the passage of the ordinance later If It falls now Alderman Davis Is one of the boldover members and will be In the board after the first of the year when the new members take their seats Ills advocacy of such an ordinance will go a long way towards making It popular and successful KING OIiltlmar Is 1 Notified That He Mustllo Good
