At a special meeting of the Board of |° Works yesterday afternoon, called to discuss the street paving question, it was decided first to canvass the pro- perty owners of the downtown blocks, bounded by Johnston, Montreal, Queen and Ontario streets, and find out if they are in favor of having permanent pavement of either bitu- lithic, asphalt or blocks constructed under the local improvement plan. If the majority of property owners ject that will settle the question, the Board of Works will not the paving upon them. There was a full meeting of the Board present, viz.: Alderman Gra- ham (chairman), Craig, Free, Givens, Henderson, McCann and Nickle. . The Ottawa construction company offered to construct asphalt paving at $2.85 a square yard, and treated wood block paving at ¥2.75 a Square yard. Both would be laid on a four-inch concrete hase and guaranteed for ten years. The company would not,con- struct fess than 10,000 vards of as- phalf? paving, but would begin con- structing the treated wood block as goon" a# the first petition is passed upon. It strongly advocated the block pa¥®ment. It was pointed out that Mr. Kirhy's company seemed to be shifting from itgformer position in regard. to un- dertaking the asphalt construction. It wat changing its provisos all the time. City Engineer Craig presented fet- ters from George W. Tillson, chief en- gineer, of New York, Newton J. Ker, city engineer, of Ottawa, and Edwin A. Fisher, city engineer, of Rochester, N.Y., recommending the wooden Elook pavement. The New York engineer said that the wood block properly treated would as force ob-{P8 tender a good bargain could be made, Ald. Angrove favored the idea of getting the petitions from the people, instead of forcing the matter ander the local improvement law. : Ald. Henderson suggested that the board of works send out a canvasser over the business streets and find oun what the people want--a permanent. ; pavement or a macadam pavement. Ald. Givens moved that the offer of the Ottawa Construction company to lay block pavement at $2.75 a square vard, and to canvass property own- ess for the same be accepted. Ald. Craig moved in amendment that the board of works engage a competent canvasser, who understands the matter well to visit 'the property owners in the business area and find out how many will sign for bitulithic asphalt or block pavement under tha local improvement plan. Ald. Givens withdrew his motion and Ald. Craig's ssed unanimously. The board will take up the question again when the canvasser is ready to report. Don't Be Bald.

CABMEN'S TROUBLES be more durable and less noisy, but perhaps more slippery. If the grade of the street was flat he thought the wood block would give the greatest satisfaction. Mr. Ker, of Ottawa, stated that $2.75 for wooden blocks wus'a very reasonable figure. He also said that he considered block pavement the best: tor Kingston's streets. (AN EPISODE AT THE'QUTER STATION. Cabman George Boyd Was At tacked--Policemen Captured the Offender Who Pleaded Guilty at Police Court. About midnight, Monday, George The Rochester engineer said that Rochester had ' frome block pavement and thought well of it. Rochester a short piece of street between the tracks of the street railway company. The merigs of - asphalt and block pavement were discussed by the com- mittee. The, city engineer recommend- ed the block pavement as most sui- table all round. It was not durable. but it could be: more readily repaired than asphalt ahd the work could be done by unskilled labor. He considered it just as good as asphalt so far as wear was concerned. The epgineer also pointed out that the company would not lay less than 10800 fquare feet of asphalt. London, Fngland has 240 miles of block pavement and Paris, France, had ninety miles. In both cities the block pavement was giving satisfaction. council pick out 10,000 square feet of street down town. and decide to do the paving under the local improve- | ment law. Then call fof tenders for various kinds of pavements and lower figures than offered by the Ottawa company could be secured. Alds. Nickle, Henderson and Givens said that they would not force the pavemént on 'the people. Unless pro- perty owners signed for the paving then the matter would have to drop. Ald. Nickle wanted to know if. the' guarantee was twenty years. The en- gineer sajd that no guarantee longer than ten years was given. That would limit the debentures to ten years, Ald. Nickle said. The engineer pointed out that the work could be done cheaper if 10,000 square yards could be secured by peti- tion and advertised for construction. He was sure that for block pave- ment a lower price than $2.75 a square, vard would be secured by ten- der, although $2.75 was a fair figure. Ald Henderson wanted to know how much 5 yard the Bagot street blocks being macadamized were cost- ing. The city enginéer replied that the road between 'the park and the cricket field had cost forty cents a square yard. The rest of the blocks were costing only about fifteen cents a Square yard "Then for heaven's sake let us build all the roads with macadam that is all it is costing," said Nickle. Ald. Henderson said that rather than force paving on the.people, he would favor macadamizing the roads down town with some harder sul- stance such as granite. In"that case the engineer suggested trop rock for the macadamizing. He would first go over the roads with the scarifier, then put on trap, roll that with binding and then put on a good top dressing. That kind of road would last from three to five re- it Ald, vears on Princess street. A macadam: {road on a business street would wear jaway at the rate of an inch a year. If the city decided to go ahead with macadam pavement, the engineer said he would recommend some scheme to covel say ten years, with expenditure of $10,000 a year, and with a sche dule of streets to be improved and rebuilt each year. What he recom- mended, however, was that an en- deavor be made to get petitions for' 10,000 square yards of permanent Payewiont When that was let out at HOW'S THIS ?

On the evening before when he {went out the rocks and stones that {were thrown at him came so fast that he had to leave the yards and get out without waiting for the trains. He did not care to have the same thing happen again and wanted pro- tection. P. Cs. Davies and Craig ac- companied Boyd to the outer station. When they arrived there, Boyd, who had been standing up near the ice house was walking back to his cab, when some one jumped on his back and commenced pounding him on the head a shoulders. He called - out and the policemen hearing him ran out and arrested the man, who turn- ed out to he Willipm Gallagher. Defen- dant was brought to -the station and | spent the night in the cells. He appeared before the magistrate, this morning, and pleaded guiity to the charge of .assault. T. J. Rigney. appeared for the prisoner and D. Mec- Intyre for the plaintiff. Mr. Melntyre stated that he thought the magis- trate should be made acquainted with some of the circumstances surround- ing the case, as it was one of a series of assaults that had been committed by hackmen, and on hackmen during the past few weeks. Mr. Rigney said |that he was quite satisfied that any evidence taken would operate against | his client. He did not think that this assault had anything to do with any other committed in the last fow weeks, as defendant was not a.resident of the city and was not a cabman. George Boyd was first called by Mr. Mcintyre, and told the story of his going to the station and of the as- sault. .\He also said that he had been threatened many times, and was final ly forced to get police protection be- fore hesdared go to the outer station to solicit passengers, from the trains. Witness Stated that when the defend- ant first jumped on his back he did not know who he was. pP.C Davies was next called by Mr. Rigney. He said that hé and P.C. Craig went out to the station with Boyd. They had only been there a short while when they heard Boyd call out. Both men ran out and secured the man who was hitting Boyd and brought him to the station. P.C. Craig was next called and told the same story as the preceding witness. Mr. Rigney said that he did not think the evidence hrought out would show the case up in as bad a light as the coumsel of the plaintiff would have led one te believe. He said that the case had no connection with any other among the hackmen, as he was assaulted by a citizen, and a visitor, one who had nothing to do with the city hack service. In his addrgss, Mr. McIntyre said that this wad' not the first assault that had been committed on a hack- man here, and that all were well aware of the trouble thal existed be- tween cabmen. He pressed for a heavy penalty in this case as an example should be made of the prisoner. "The pamishment in this case was not very severe," said Mr. McIntyre, "but no | one can tell how far it would have; gone if the policrmen had not been there." . | The magistrate said that he would | agree with all that Mr. Mcintyre said if the prisoner had any connection | with the local cabmen, but this had | not been shown in the evidence, and! he could not assume that it was so. | "If any more cab fights- come up," said the macistrate, "some one is go- | ing to lose his license for good and | all. There is a suspicion in this case, { as the defendant is so closely connect- | ed with the cabmen, but I shall have to eliminate this and treat it as an ordinary case of assault.

DOCK ENLARGEMENT AT KINGSTON WOULD BE NECESSARY. 'If Welland Canal Froject Through--Government Here Would Have Lengthened 200 Feet. In the event of the Welland canal being enlarged, the government dry- dock at Kingston would also have to be increased in size to hold the big steamers that would come down this way, steamers of from 400 to 600 feet long. At present the dock will hold a vessel 325 feet long. Two hundred feet at least would have to be added to "the dock. To extend it north wowld require the use of the property on Ontario street, between Gore and Unjon streets, now owned by the Canadian Locomotive Works com- pany, which, it is understood, intends to build shops there. From the pre- sent north limiteof the dock to On- tario street is a distance of 100 feet. The other hundred feet would have to he secured by filling in at the south limit of the dock. This matter is a most important one for Kingston, should the Welland canal project he carried into effect. Goes Dock to, Be a ------ TWO REQUESTS MADE Of the Board of Works at Yester- day's Meeting.

The city enginecr said that the trouble was eaused by the exception: ally high water this season, and also by the storms that happened along at this time. An extra overflow pipe would effect a remedy. The board de- cided to have one put in. J. B.

Graham s#d this was unfair, that the solicitor should hive report- ed before. Ald. Henderson said he couldn't see that the city solicitor should have done otherwise than he had done. He was protecting the city. Mr. Cooke should have entered action before, and not waited for the city's answer to his claim for damages. Ald.
