letter dI City of Paducah,
regard- Paducah, Kentucky
ing Dear tdr. Washburn:.
lights r
for Col
Park In accordance with your request of Friday I wish to advise
that if and when the proposed property is acquired by the
i' city for a colored park the Kentucky Utilities Company will
extend its service lines to this location for the purpose of
electrifying the buildings andgrounds. This will necessitate
the construction of six tenths (.6) of a mile of primary line.
it
As I advised you over the telephone, I am not in a position to
say definitely what we can do toward extending bus service
to this location. It is my conviction, however, that i can
not be done profitably as our experience in running busses to
Roble Park and Hooks Park is such that it would appear we could
not operate to this location.
Very truly yours,
R.,V. Green,

removal; later you named June 17th as the date to hear alleged charges against me.
The Court, as you 'mow, restrained you in all of this, and held that the charges
were insufficient.
I understand that your attorneys are to apply to a Judge of the Court of Appeals
for a discharge of the innunction. In the meantime, without wdiving any rights
secured to me by the ruling of the Judge of the McCracken Circuit Court, but
rcoardless of the sufficiency or insuff.ciency of any legal steps you have taken
or may take, I wish to express my willingness and desire to meet at public
hearing, any written charge sufficiently specific to be understood.
I This letter is not intended as an invitation to further cont•ovcrsy, but is
written in the interest of good government, as evidence of my purpose to do my
full duty, and assume full responsibility for my official acts.
