done by the District, and the cost be paid
from the unexpended balance of their de-
post for work on 4th. o and P streets

have the tracks In question removed The
tracks are those which were once used for
the operation Of horse cars and had been
abandoned for some time as far as the
actual running Of cars was concerned. To
oblfge the merchants the company has de-
cided to remove the old tracks pending de-
cision as to what shall be done in the

ASPHALT PAVEMENTS.
None Has Been Laid During Present
Fiscal Year.

Fiscal Year.
Through an inquiry set on foot by Major
hidoie, 1t developed today that no new as
phalt pavements had been laid under the
contract for the current fiscal year. The
contract was awarded to the Warner-Ouin-
ian company of New York, which had I'M

ferred to as the Asphalt Trust Major
Blddle sent for the local representatives of

construction Company. and requested infor-
nation as to what the company planned
to do.
he was informed that the company was
then engaged in the construction of an
asphalt plant in this city, where the crude
material was to be made ready for plac-
ing on the streets. The company had been
delayed, 1t was stated on account of the
steel strike, and it's consequent inability
TO secure structural material. Mr. Bren-
nan stated that his company would be
ready to begin work on it's contract within
a very few weeks
The delay in beginning work has caused
some embarrassment to the Commissioners
but 1t Is stated that the new contractors
are required only to begin the work speci-
he'd by the Commissioners some time dur
ing the present fiscal year. The Commits
sloners believe now that the work of paving

Much Comment 'on the Proposed
Modern Skyscraper.

Great Fault.
'OME OF THEIR VIEWS

LONDON. November 2O.-The action of
to the London county council for a 900
years lease of site on the north side of
the Strand for the erection Of an office
building. on American lines, to cost f2,OOO,-
900. has caused much comment and in
terest. and Is discussed from various points
of view. Many people share William Wal
dorf Astor's views, as expressed In today's
issue of the Pail Mall Gazette, throwing
cold water on the proposed addition to
that conglomeration of architectural chaos
which is modern London" The Pail Mall
Gazette fears the mammoth building viii
deform the new thoroughfare. The ma
jority of the business community, however,
share the views Of the London Times,
which says:
1--WE are far too slow in meeting the
wants Of the enormous population, and
are far too much given to muddling along
with timid extensions of methods essen
TALLY antiquated."
''The stay-at-home Englishman," the
Times continues, has a great deal to learn
and his fine, insular superiority pre-
vents him from learning by inspection what
others are doing, the best thing possible
for him is that others should come here
and do things under his nose. Besides,
the Americans owe us a good turn of this
sort. We built many of their railroads
and lost no small amount Of money in
the operation. 1t Is only fair that they
should energize our operations a little,
though we have no desire that their ex-
perience here should be as unpleasant as
that Of many a British investor in wild
cat lines over the water. They are really
doing very well just now, setting up
magnificent electrical factory in the north,
pushing the identification of the under
ground roads, and interesting themselves
In the tubes while American ideas and
methods are largely recognized in the new
telephone service.
This country's domestic affairs need
great deal Of shaking up, and it is
brotherly thing for the Americans to give
them the requisite flip"
This Strand site Is only one Of several
that the American syndicate is figuring on.
Another is on either side Of Waterloo place
and Pail Mall, and still another is opposite
the Bank Of England
