EAST TENTH PAVEMENT.
MIDDLE Over Location of the New
Roadway.


East Tenth avenue is in a peculiar
rnuddle. People living on the south side
Of that street, between Quincy and JEFF
ferson, want the city engineer to build
the new pavement eight feet north of
the middle of the street to accommodate
their sidewalks. People on the north
side of the street object to anything Of
the sort
1t seems that about ten years ago the
residents on the south side of Tenth
street were given permission by the
council to build their sidewalks ten feet
out from the property line instead Of
two feet from the property line. This
gave ten feet more length to the lots on
the south side Of the street, and cut
down the width Of the park by the same
amount.
Now those who own property on the
south side of the street want their park
the same width as the park on the north
side Of the street, and to do this, the
pavement would have to be laid eight
feet out of the real line.
The streets and walks committee of
the council visited the scene of the con-
troversy yesterday afternoon, and de-
cided that the city engineer had acted
correctly in laying out the pavement In
the center Of the street, regardless OF the
position of the sidewalks.
The council viii in all probability sus-
tain this report. The people living on
the south side of Tenth will either have
to move their sidewalks back where
they were in the first place, or else put
up with narrow parks.

BOER PROPOSAL.
Willing to Join British Empire

London, April 12-Both the chancel-
lor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, and the colonial secretary. Jo-
seph Chamberlain, attended the cabinet
council held at the foreign Office at
noon today. Prior to the meeting of
the ministers representatives of the
Bank of England had a conference
with the chancellor of the exchequer,
indicating that the budget was a prom

of issuing a war loan

Cham berlain and Sir Michael Hicks

port was pure invention and absolutely

diverse rumors evoked by the unexpect-
ed summoning of the cabinet public in
terest as displayed in Downing street
was OF an exceedingly languid type. All
the ministers were present with the ex-
ceptiOn of the lord lieutenant Of Ireland,
Earl Cadogan, from which it was in
ferred that the question Of the immed-
late adoption of a more stringent policy
towards the United Irish league did not
occupy the foremost place at today's
council.
Among the many neaee rumors this
morning the most interesting is to the
effect that the Beers have intimated that
they are willing to come into the British
empire. as Junior partners to give up
their flag and become part of an African
