BALBOA BOULEVARD.

T is to be regretted that there have arisen comp-
 cations which threaten to interfere with the early extension of Balboa boulevard to the county line. The proposed work is one of the most impor- tant municipal enterprises before the people, and anything which tends to postpone or delay 1t is a public evil of small magnitude
 The threatened delay at this time is the more irr- tatng because San Mateo County has now under consideration we'll devised scheme for highway im- provement which includes grand boulevard through the county from the line of San Francisco to that of Santa Clara. An election on the question of voting bonds for the purpose of providing these improve ments IS to be submitted to the voters of San Mateo, and the prospects of favorable vote would be greatly increased if the San Mateo people were assured that San Francisco would do her share to complete the boulevard and make it great thor oughfare, placing all the towns of San Mateo in easy communication with the metropolis
 As the matter stands there is part of the boule- vard as originally designed, still incomplete, which the city must construct within four years to make good the right of way granted by ex-Mayor Sutro. For this part of the line the city has right of way given by the Spring Valley Water Company. The controversy arises over the means of providing for the cost of the work on this portion of the road.
 The water company is unwilling to pay for the road work To create road district for the purpose would compel Sutro to pay taxes on his land in the district and his deed of gift of right or way expressly provides that he shall not be assessed for grading and macadamzing the road. The city must of course keep faith with Sutro and that necessity blocks any proposition to create the proposed road district.
 There seems to be no way out of the dilemma but for the city defray the cost and the boulevard when completely opened will be of general benefit the city might well afford to do that. It is under stood that the city will provide for the construc- ton of the road the water company will give right of way to the county line through Lake Merced Ranch thus enabling the San Francisco boulevard be connected with that of San Mateo. This being SO there should be little hesitation in adopting some plan of action which will permit speedy prosecution of the enterprise As the matter stands the city has an assurance of getting the right of way for nothing while if the project is postponed indefinitely it may be necessary hereafter condemn right of way and pay for it.

 C ENSITIVE Parfsians have at times
 suspected that the ingenuity of de- - vising the Eiffel Tower was matched. if not surpassed, by the construction of the Ferris Wheel at the Chicago World s Fair. Inspired by the patriotic duty of concefving some stupendouS project whereby to reclaim their supremacy and outdaZzle the American triumph, the novelty producers of the French capital have racked their resourceful brains. The revolving palace is the result. This structure, designed by M. Charles Devic, will consist of a hexagonal shaft $50 feet in height, divided into twenty stories.

The length of time thus established makes an error of only one day in 1925 years. Of the years conclud- ing the centuries and known as the hum dredth year, such as 1900, 1900, only every fourth is leap year, commencing with 2OOO, such as are devisible by 400 namely 2400, 2S00 and so on.
