It is possible to submit it about throe r.cnths earlier than in prior years because a new state law nassed by the 1949 General ..srr.nbly at the request of the Paducah Board of Com- nissiencrs perritted the Board of ;iqualization to be in session during tte latter part of 1948 aryl it cenpletod its work on Dccanbor 18 instead of in ?arch as fornerly has been the case• This budget includes the following papers: (1) A chart of r.nnual Exrerditures, %xcludinp- Principal and Ir,t:past, 1934-15.5, Ccnpircd :dth s.:.h Expenditures in icxns Of Pureha�ihn Power of Dollar in 1935-39.

The chart comparing actual expenditures on a basis of the* purchas— ing power of the dollar in 1935-39 is based on the Consumerts Price Index for t:erphis, Ihnn., prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; Yer'phis was the nearest city in this area for ,which such dati,were avail— able and the index firures for it were chosen instead of nationwide- figures because they should be more corparable with such data for Paducah. Ibis chart shorts that, althouch total dollar expenditures have been increasing since 1940, the purchasing power of these dollars has declined each year since 1941 with the exception of slight increases in 1945, 1946 and 1940, and that the purchasing power of ;;609,026 (excluding principal and interest on debt) expended in 1940 is about equal to the purchasing pouter of 1943 expenditures of ,429,600. Thus there is graphically illustrated the fact that the city is affacted by the inflation of recent years in the same ranner as any business is affected. It simply costs Toro to render the sane services and with pony people desiring additional services the need for nore revenue for the city should be apparent. The chart of Property Assessncnts in Paducah, 1930-1947, shorts the trend in assessments since 1930. Only slirht chr.ngas have occurred in the total assessr..ent of real astato, rnd the assessnent as of July 11 19479 was less than on Julv 1, 1930. The total assessnant of franchise companies also shorts very little change. Increases in personal property assassmonts mainly account for the increased total assessment of :'77,346,541 of all property as of July 1, 19471 over the comparabla figure of :'24,459,100 as Of July 1, 1930. This chart graphically illustrates a generally recognized fact that present property assessnonts aro very low in comparison to changes in property values since the early 1930s. The estimate of revenue to bo'collected in 1915 is ;',690,211.70, including a cash surplus on Janue.ry 1, 1949, of :9,746.70. this ostinatc nssuros that 97 of the levy of locally assessed real and n:rsonal property taxes brill be collected. During the past three roars an average of about 96.5% of such taxes have been collected, and it is only corL on sense to baso this astir, -Ac on past experionco that makes it a certain fact that all taxes levied ::ill net be collected. The ostimlto of revoruo from such texas Is ^leo based on an assurption that the tax levy for the :::nointive FYployeesv Pension Fund :rill bo ircru.sed from 1¢ to 4O per .'1CO of assessed valuation, loavinr a tax rata of 1,351 ;.c:r 'lry, of assossed valuation for the G-noral Fund. In view of the fact thLt a 50 rate is levied for the Pension Fund NO. Proceedin65 of City of Paducah -3- covering 87 Policemen and Firemen, it is only equitable that a 4¢ rate be levied for some 65 employees covered by the Lppointive Employees, Pension Fund. The estimate of revenue from delinquent taxes is lower than collec— tions in 1948 because practically all back tax cases involving substantial amounts have been settled and only smaller, more difficult cases rervain to be settled, The revenue from business and occupational license taxes is estimated on a basis of scattered reports on the volume of sales in Paducah in 1948. Two large stores reported that sales in 1948 were about equal to 1947 sales, taro other Large stores reported 1,048 sales would be slightly under 1947 sales, one store reported a11es in 1948 about 7% under 1947 sales, and several storms estimated that their 1948 sales would be about 20^ under 1547. On the other hand the Association of Commerce has estimated that business activity in 1948 was about 5% above 1947. Using an estimate of 5% increase in 1948 business activity,wrhich may be too high for gross sales and receipts subject to city license taxes, and applying it to 1948 revenue from this source of about `•122,000, excluding penalties, would in— dicate an intone of approxirately `.130,000 in 1949. However, ;2,000 was deducted from this figure on account of the recent reduction in the rate of tax for retail grocers and "1,000 was deducted for reductions in certain rinirum license taxes and the extension to all taxpayers of deductions of Federal and State excise taxes based on prices of commodities. The schedule of salary increases included in this budget contains proposed new salaries based on recommendations of a Citizens Committee which net with the City L'anagor and heads of departments for this purpose. The Orly excention is the salary of the Alcoholic P,everago ddministrator, xhich was not rccc.:rendcd by this cornitteo, but in view of the incumbents attitude revcrding the procent salary and the fact that an attorney is re— quir xl by ordinance for Ulis position ',125 per month is recornonded. The follavinP persona attended one or more of the four meetings hold to discuss this rn tt,.re Roy �7=lall, Chairman, h. E. (Jack) Cole Jodie F. Vaughn, and Earl Lo-rrc, members of the Labor Relations committee of the Association of Crr.-erce; Ccor�e 7:. Ryrd, local union leader; Harry Cleaves and George reprasonting the %tail Yerclants 6ssoLation; and Guy Carler and Ch'.rl,s Vahlk-rp, reprosentin;, the L:inufacturers and 'holesaler•s Association. This """ittee was asked to rako recoc_ erdations because it was tho"nht advis:,�-Ia to crosult taxpayers having:• no connections with the city goverrnont as to herr tax ravcnue cht ',d be spent for salaries of city oc— ploy;;es- Their rcca-_.er.•iations vrarp that the salaries of positions listed in thin =heduie be ine,• iced by a total of about:;34,000, but with insuf— ficient furca to reach this total the inerwasos were scaled down to those 375 Proceedings of City of Paducah_ -h- -shown in the schedule, which will add about :.19,000 -tnnually to the city payroll. These increases are modest when compared with salaries paid in other comparable cities and prevailing salaries and wages in private em- ployment in Paducah. Some positions were not included in the committee Is recommendations, as an effort was made to equalize salaries of all positions based on duties and respensibilities involved in each, although it was recognized that the sal'.-Aes of those positions passed over are also too laa. If these recommendations are adopted city cnployees will still be under- paid but perhaps more uniformly so than at present. Only two department heads, the Fire Chief and City Engineer, included amounts for salary increases in their requests, and these are shovm on the accompanying tabulation„ The other department heads, knotying that the Citizens Cormittee was studying this matter, did not request specific amounts but recommended that appropriate increases be granted, and for these depart - cents figures in the co;.ten "Requests for 191,9" are based on salaries in effect in 1F48. It is recommended that a Department of Public Works be established under the direction of the City Encincer ,which mould consist of an 8ngineer- ing Division (now Fnginearing Departmont% .a Streat Division (nov Street Department), a Cemetery Division (Oak Grove Cemetery), and a Floodwall Division (the position of Floodwall Superi.ntendont is nom established in the Eneineering Department by ordinance but has nrrer been filled). Kast cities have found •.t to he more practicable to co-abine ;uch activities into a Department of Public l;orks, because they are so closely related that better coordination and effectiveness is attained under a single department head, There aro piny problems in the present Street Department and at Oak Grove Cemetery tY"t require the aoplication of entinaering knowledge and it is believed that an crgineer should be resnonsible for immediate super- vision over such activities. The Citizens Committee rhieh studied enployoes, salaries also roccaaended this reorganization. This budget has been prepared on a blsis of such a reorganization and the appropriation accounts have been grouped accordingly. This budget ray not be an ideal plan for the city governnent in 1949. There are elecents of judgment involved in the recommendations of the depart- ment haads and your City Langer which furnish a basis of different viow- points on hay available funds can best be expended. In any event the data and infor ,•tion hece nr,.,anted will rive the P,oard of Cormissionors a good uorkint• hasis for arrivii.it, at d(:cisions which must, in tho final analysis, NO `577 Proceedings of City of Paducah I be rade by the elected representatives of the people of Paducah. It is hoped that this budget will aid the Board of Commilsioners in shaping a program for the city government that will keep abreast of the needs of a city that is grouinp and faces a great future.

The accounts are listed in the same order as they appear in the tabulation of COl'FAHISON9 AND EECQ.MIDATIONS, 1949 BUDGET. Acct. 1101. The Yayorrs salary is fixed by ordinance and is the ra ximum authorized by state law. Acct. 1102. The salary of each Commissioner, ti1,500 per year, is fixed by ordinance and is the maximum authorized by state law. Acct. 1112, Funds are recommended to continue the present City Clerk's salary of 2, 00 per year, which is fixed by ordinance. Acet. 1159. The recommended figure of 11100 is an estimate of funds, based on past experience, that may be required to enable the Kayor, 1-ayor Pro Tem, and Commissioners to attend meetings of Kentucky municipal officials or to rake investigations that may be deemed necessary. Acct. 1161. The sum of X3,637,44 was spent in 1947 and ^;2,360.03 in 119-71 for advertising purposes, but a new law requested by the Paducah Board of Commissioners and passed by the 1948 General Assembly, which was effective June 17, 1948, ended the Dublication in full of certain types of ordinances. Thus during almost half of 1948 expenditures were incurred for full niblication of such ordinances which will not be necessary in 1949. The averaCe monthly expenditure from July to December, 1948, for this purpose was about ;,70.00, but the annual appropriation ordinance, tax levy ordinance, and annual audit must be published in full during the first six months of each year, w:Ach mould increase the monthly average over the entire year. Eased on cast experionce it anpoars that x1,000 -rill be adequate. Acct. 1169. The recommended firure of 32,200 is based on past exporience and Tioto cover expenses of the biennial election of Commissioners in 191.9. Acct. 1203. The salary of ;5,000 per year for the City Manager is fired by ordinance. Acct. 1220, Funds are recormended to continue the present Secretary's salary cf ;;2,00 per year, which is fixed by ordinance. rcct. 1259. Paced on past experience the sum of :,200 is rocom- rensed to ena4lc the=y Iana9e1 arra other city officials without an appro- priaticn for travolln;• exnenn_es to attend meeting of municipal officials turd to rako lnvef�tifations that ra; be deer..ed necessary. Leet, 1273. The requested and recur=ended aum of e,8O0 is based on pastexperler4a but is larger than expenditures in 1947 and 1948 because letterhead stationery was not purchased in either of those two ydars. The WIPPly of letterhead ctaticnary is alnoat exroav:ted and it will be necessary to purchase a largo quantity in 191.9. Acct, 1288. This account and the reeoar-anded sue oC M0 has been added to cover a variety of minor expenditures that cannot be antici- pat�d. For eaa-ple, the :tat Extermiratien Committee recently requested the 393 Proceedings of City of Paducah ' city to purchase rat poison to be placed on dumps, but there is no exist- ing appropriation to which this is properly chargeable. Such an account Trill eliminate the necessity of passing ordinances for small and relatively unimportant expenditures. It coi d not be subject to abuse because a voucher must be prepared for each disbursement vinich is a public record, and all such vouchers are checked when the amoral audit is made. It is reported that Owensboro has provided a fund of ;1,500 per year for such purposes and that this procedure is followed in many other cities. Acct. 1290. The spin of ^100 is recommended to cover mainte- nance of the mimeograph machine and typewriters and for purchase of minor items of office equipment that may be required from time to time. Acct. 1308, Funds are recommended to continue the present Cor- poration Counselgs salary of $3,360 per year. Acct. 1400. The recommended sum of X8,000 includes ;,6,250 for principal and interest to make the last annual payments in the Rational Cast Iron suits, and £11,750 for other suits and claims against the city. This is an expenditure that is difficult to estimate, but experience has shavn that claims increase as economic conditions become worse. Acct. 1500. The excess of anticipated revenue over the total of all other budget accounts is shown in this account. This is believed to be a reasonable anount, as past experience has shorn that there are usually many expenditures that cannot be anticipated. Acct. 1656. The recommended sum of "1,400 for 1949 is above the 1948 expenditure of •1,264.92 because the last increase in telephone rates was effective about July, 1948. Thus 1948 expenditures reflect only about one-half of a year at the increased rates. The average monthly charge during the last six nonths of 1946 Tras 1;110.00, which multiplied by 12 months is %1,3201 and '?80 was added to cover long distance calls and telegrams. Acct. 1657 A few fire hydrants were authorised in 1948, which may increase the 19 expenditure of )501638.67 for water and hydrant rentals to approximately ;51,000. This expenditure is based on the franchise obli- gation assured by the city when the waterworks system was purchased. Acct. 1658. She sum of ;20,000 is recommended for 1949 an increase of X13210. over 1948 expenditures, to cover the added cost of about 60 street lights installed late in 1948 or which should be installed in 1949. Acct. 1679. The rocoimnended amount of •`.;450 includes :'250 for the purchase of ica and ''2CO for an electric drinking; fountain to replace an ice cooler in the switchboard room on the second floor of the Central Fire Station. tcct. 1700. The recommended anount of :_6,000 is based on premiums duo on inst:rarce policies and bonds presently in force. Acct. 18^,0. She recommended sum of ;490.00, the sane as ex- penditures in"TR includes the follordng annual membership dues: Kentucky L,,ricipal learua, J36G.Go ;'anaeew:nt Infornation Service, b1o0.00; and "-tion.l afety Caurcil, ';,30.00. Acct. 19,0. The a•:nual salary of ;}5.00 for each Civil Service Cor--insionor is fixed Ly ordinrncn. Acct. 2105. Mu recor. onded sum of °3,360 would increase the City Treasurer -;a m1acy from ,260 to ,.280 par month. Acct. 2114. She recorImMod e -of ;2,160 would increase the nuditorls salary frcr '67.50 to "180.00 par month. Acct. 2127. '.to reco=ondod cum of ;7,800 would increase the saleriee of t:, -o Lr:.pu4y jreasurera frcra ;147.50 to $150 par conth, one Deputy 15WM NMI Proceedings of City of Treasurer from x.137.50 to .a% per month, and one Deputy Treasurer (License Inspector and Purchasing Agent) from ;;190 to $200 per month. Acct, 2128. The recommended sum of ,1,920 would increase the Bookkeeper's salary from $157.50 to $160.00 per month. Acct. 2146. The recommended sum of 6340 includes '3100 for temporary permnel to assist the License Inspector in gathering, information from state income tax returns that is needed for administering the business license tax and for the assessment of merchants' inventories. The remaining Mo would increase the salary of the Secretary to the City Judge from $120 to "140 per month, providing a sufficient quantity and acceptable quality of work is performed for the City Treasurer. The position of Secretary to the City Judge is a full time position but she can frequently assist in the work of the City Treasurer after attending to her regular duties. It is there— fore recomre nded that funds for an increase in the salary of this position be appropriated in this account and that the judgment of the City Treasurer shall be final as to whether the quantity and quality of work performed justifies the payment of all or a part of the increase of $20.00 per month. Acct. 2159. The recommended sum of $450 would cover traveling expenses of the Deputy Treasurer to obtain information from state income tax returns and would be used to reimburse him for -the use of his car on local official business at the rate of 7¢ per mile, rrith a maximum of $35.00 per month. This mileage allowance was recommended by the Citizens Committee which recently studied the salaries of the city employees. Anct. 2162. The recommended sum of $2,000 is for a contract by ordinance with ]:orris h. Lee, Certified Public Accountant, to make the 1948 arrual audit. Acct, 21.73. In past years supplies ordered in one year for use in the next year have been recorded as Special Accounts Payable and have been charged to the nerd year's budget. This was true in 1948 and there is therefore a carry—over of orders placed in 1948 for supplies to be used in 1549, such as tax forms, It is more desirable to charge all orders immediate— ly to the current year's budget, both from a legal and practical vim:point, and it is planned to do this in 1949. Thus 1949 expenditures will include some orders ,laced in 1948 as well as all orders placed in 1949, and, U,300 is ircluied in the recorrended sum of X4,600 for this reason leaving x3,300 actually coriparable with the expenditure of $3,745.23 in 1948. Acct. 2190. The recommended sum of X160 is desired for the pur— chase of a file for paid tax bills, cancelled checks and other receipts.

When consideration is given to the increased number of automobiles, cl=trical appliances, improved furniture,,and other types of personal property, and the added area annexed since 1923, it is apparent that the 1948 a::sessment of 16,786,515 is very low as compared with the 1923 assessment. of 34,789,5L2. It is proposed to attempt to correct this situation by enploy_ng temporary personnel who will be paid on a basis of the number of taxpayer.i? listings obtained. Acct. 2373.

The requested amount of .1,050 would provide funds for making new block maps to replace ones now in use that are not up-to-date and are badly worn, Some action must be taken within the next year or: two to provide better maps, brit this expenditure is not recommended in 1948 for the reason the -t a zcecial session of the General Assembly may be called in 1949 to make several reforms in Kentucky's property assessing system and the Governor and other spokesmen have specifically mentioned a need to do some- thing about the duplication between county and city assessing offices„ This duplication is mads very apparent by the fact that the L'aCracken County Tax Commissioner has recently had completed a nen set of block maps of exactly the same kind used by the City Assessor and which could also to used by the City Assessor if tho two officials were in the same office. This matter has been discussed with County Judge Brady 1% Stewart, who has expressed an opinion that the two offices should be consolidated, and several times with County Tax Commissioner W. J. Helm. A proposal has been nude to 1'r. Helm that the two offices remain separate but that the staff of the City Assessor is office work in his office and under his direction, as it r.,ould seem that work- ing together in this manner will disclose many methods of cooperative action, such as joint use of block maps and making aarbon copies of a taxpayer+s assessment list. fir. Helm agreed to give this consideration but has not yet reached a decision as to whether to undertake the project. In any event, the Possibilities of new legislation that may affect the status of city assessing offices and of cooperative action with the County Tax Commissioner are such that an immediate expenditure to duplicate block maps would seem to be unwise. Acct. 2h67. Practically all tack tax cases are beinc, handled by Copeland and keel under contract, but a few cases were retained by other attorneys who had done considerable work and could complete such cases more expeditiously than new attorneys could, and the recommended anount of ;,500 is to cover attorneys' fees in such cases. %,980 of the 1948 appropriation has been encunbered (earmarked) for the Copeland and Keel contract and fur- ther appropriations for this contract will not be required.

Accts. 3173 - 3176. The recommended amounts for these accounts mate are based on riels and supplies used in recent years. The increased appropriation for gasoline is needed on account of several price increases that occurred in 1948, Acct. 3177. The recommended anount of $700 is based on two assumptions' TIT That new FM radio equipment will be purchased about April 1 (see explanation under Acct. 3191), and (2) that a contract will be made at f45 per month for maintenance and repair of radio equipment by a private com- parry, such as Radio Faintenance and Engineering Co. Such maintenance charges for the remainder of 1945 would be ?3405, leaving $295 that should be adequate "or parts, particularly as parts in new equipment are guaranteed for one year and will be replaced without charge during the first year. By arranging for radio rairterance by contract, Police Captain Troy Clark can be released frac: his present duties in this respect so that he can be assigned the duties of an Electrical Inspector. Thus in effect the city can secure the urgently nee?ed services of an Electrical Inspector for $540 per year, the annual cost of such ralnterance service by contract. Also it would be unnecessary for the city to purchase testinf, and repair equipment and a frequency monitor costing, about ;1,000. It h. s been impossible to employ an Electrical Inspector at a salary of *225 per month without any mileage allrnvance for use of a man's own car, and it is therefore strongly recommended that this plan be adopted , Fire Chief Frank Gholson says that electrical defects are the second major causes of fires in the country as a whole, and reports on Paducah fires show such defects r4nr, hirh among the causes of fires, ghat nicht be prevented is illustrated by the following news item in the Courier -Journal for December 31, 191:91 'Defective electrical wiring was blamed today for a fire that swept an entire block in Pikeville last nil.rht with damage unofficially esti- rattd at $200,000," The Statn Fire Ratin' Puroau gives points for having an Eloctrical In::pcctcr and lack of such an employce nay adversely affect Paducah's ratin;, for fire ira rarce purposen, thus increasing the cost of Fire insurance an business rnropertics. hast. 3178.

Acct. 37.85. The requested amount of $2,300 includes $2,100 based on 1948ernonditures and $200 for repair of a police car wrecked late in December, 1949, The recommended figrr3 of $2,600 is 3300 higher to per- mit tte Chief of Police's car to be overhauled. A request for funds to pc.- chnse e. rew car for the Chief of Police tis requested under Acct. 319_, but sirc•3 th.s expenditure is not being. recom:.ended $300 should be provided for a con'- e*.s overhaul, as this car has been driven over 125,000 miles and is nor::,adly in need of such work. Acct. 3186. The recommended amount of $450 is below 1948 ex- penditures of }760.1 because batteries fox• the police telephone system pur- chased in 1948 will not be purchased in 1949. Acct. 3191. The requested figure of 513,000 would cover re- placement of x:1;1 police motor vehicles with new equipment and the entire cost of replacing the police radio system rdth Fid equipment. A regulation of the Federal Communications Commission requires that all police radio systems be converted to F6! frequencies not later than July 1, 19503 and considering the time required for adoption of the appropriation ordinance, submitting an application to the F. C. C.,for approval of a new frequency, advertising for bids, delivery of equipment, and installation, it would be impossible to meet this deadline unless funds are appropriated in 1949. The recommended amount of ,",7,500 includes 6750 for two new motorcycles, $33 000 for five new police cars, ;;1,000 for a good used truck to repla:u the one being used by Police Captain Troy Clark, and $2,750 for the first of two annual instalments to Purchase necessary new Ft[ police radio equipment, the second instalment to be deferred for one year at 6% interest. The police cars and motorcycles should be replaced because they have reached an age and mileage when maintenance costs begin to be excessive. Municipal officials are generally agreed that cars driven constantly, such as police cars, should be replaced by neer equipment each year, as this is the most ecpnomical plan, Both motorcycles are over two years old.

A good justification for the requested amount of x30,954 was presented by the Park Board, but in view of the other demands upon the limited funds available to the city the sum of $28,000 is recom— mended for this account. The 1948 appropriation was increased by more than $27000 over 1947 and this would make the 1949 appropriation $1,874.48 above 1948 expenditures. The Park Board should be able to adjust its program to spend not more than $28,000. Acct. 4388.

The park properties will be covered in the blanket policies of insurance carried by the city, making the amount of 13131.50 unnecessary, The elimination of these txa items reduces the requested figure to slightly more than $6,000, and it is believed that 36,000 will be adequate for 1949.
