There is a great amount OF Indignation ex-
pressed by the property owners on these
three streets that the Board OF Works should
impose upon them a burden for pavement
greater than the cost Of an asphalt street.
Many of them favored blocks because they
thought they would make a Serv1ceable street
and be cheaper than asphalt, but they ol1
not suppose they would be compelled 10 pay
more for blocks than for asphalt. The mat
ter Is so new and came with such sudden
ness and surprise to. the property owners
take in the matter, but there Is already some
talk of asking the courts to grant an injunc-
ton until the merits Of the case can be thor
oughly examined. The courts have held In
the past that they cannot review the acts
of a board, such the Board or Works'
where there is no charge OF fraud. or, ra.ner,
no charge other than that the views OF lne

the courts would grant hearing and review

AN OUTRAGE CONTEMPLATED.
Effort to Compel Some People to Pay
for Two Sidewalks.

The Board of Works desires to make
some people in the city pay for two SIDE
walks. and yesterday sent letter to City
Attorney Curtis asking II there is any law
by which this outrage may be committed.
In many places in the city where sidewalks
have not been built under city contract the
property owners have laid cement walks,
always next to the property line. Now the
Board of Works has found a number OF
places where few property owners. who
have no walks, want new walks built next
TO the curb line. On the Same street are
recently-laid walks next to the property
line, which were. in all cases, laid under
the direction of the city engineer and by
permission of the board. Now the board
wants to know IL there is any law by
which IT can compel these people to destroy
the walk already laid and pay for new one
next to the curb, so as to suit the fancy or
a few of the property owners.

BIRMINGHAM NOT IN 1T.
Bicycles Are Being Sold
in That Center.

Consul George F. Parker writes the
Department OF State from Birmingham
England, that the trade with the United
States in cycle materials continues to de.
cline.
The steel tube trade reached its highest
development during the December quarter,
when tnbes To the value OF 1852 .65l were
sent To the United States During the
June quarter tubes To the value of $780,
253 were shipped and for the quarter ended
September 30 last, shipments were re-
duced TO S67. .TST.
Many of the contracts made by American
cycle makers have expired and others are
running out. and Mr.. Parker is of the
opinion that trade in these products will
practically cease by the end of 1897 No
coinplete bicycles have been sent to the
United States from Birmingham for some
time
On the other hand, good many American
machines have been sold in The BirnIing-
ham district. 1t is not safe to predict
how long this demand will continue, but
as trade conditions have improved general v
during the past year, IL is likely that a
considerable number of machines of good
quality may be sold, if offered at a price
slightly lower than those ruling for the
same kind in Birmingham.
