TO IMPROVE coNEY IsLAND.AvE

Plans TO improve Coney Island-ave. from the
Park Circle 10 Kings Highway. at a of s3ooOoo
are under consideration by the borough authorities
OF Brooklyn 1t is proposed to lay out Part OF
the avenue in small squares. which will be planted
with trees and flowers.
Attempts have been made several times to i'm
prove Coney lsland-ave. but all plans have fallen
through because the assessed valuation of the
property in the street was too low to warrant any
great expense The assessed valuation of the abut-
ting property, according to the law under which
public improvements of this kind are undertaken
must be double the cost of the Improvement. and
the assessed valuation of the property abuttng on
Coney Island-ave is equal only to the cost of the
proposed Improvement. 1t will be necessary to get
the property owners the contiguous streets to
consent to the improvement. 1t is said that the
property owners in Coney Island-ave. have OBJ
tained the consent of their neighbors to the i'm
provement. and tnat the latter will bear a pro rata
share of the expense.

NOT OLD, NOT NEW.

I like It not. this common view
That calls the passing season ola;
l like 1t not and will not hold
The year that lies before us new.
No year is old, year is new;
Time passes not faltertng feet;
The days that come are not more meet
That those which pass beyond our VieS
Nor past nor future is remote;
Time is the chords upon the Tyre;
The present is the point Of flre
AT which strike the vibrant note
Into the past run back the chords;
They bear the tones of all the years
They throb with all the hopes and fears
The future holds in speechless words
Life lies not in the passing hour;
The silent seasons not dead;
The fountains of the soul are fed
BY springs which pulse with vital power.
Time is the atmosphere of God;
Our morrowS and our yesterdays
Are but the wind that sports and plays
Upon the surface of the flood.
Life adds another to its rings:
Loves calyX. with its heart OF gold,
Will slowly in the light unfold.
For God is i'm the soul of things.

C. 7. BARNEY's HOUSE SETTLES
Repetition of Last Springs Park-ave. Cave
In Not Feared

There has been recurrence OF the sinking
trouble in Park-ave.. this time in the block on
the east side of the avenue. between Thirty
eighth and Thirty-ninth SITS. The officials Of the
Building Department say. however they are
positive there is no for apprehension and
they hope there will not be renewal of the
seni-panic from which many residents in the
neighborhood suffered after the cave-in last
spring.
The present trouble brought to the attcn-
ton of Perez VI. Stewart. Superintendent of
Buildings. by Charles T. Barney. the owner OF
the premises at the northeast corner OF Park
ave- and Thirty-eighth-st Mr.. Barney feared
that his house was settling. Inspectors OCon-
nor. Fleming, MCGEE and ReviIle after an -ex-
animation. reported that part Of the walls had
settled about an inch. Mr.. Stewart told Mr.
Barney that he did not believe there was anv
danger. but that. for precaution it was always
best to shore up house which had settled a.
much as an inch. Mr.. Barney accordingly YES
terday had men snoring up the house.
When the serious cave-in occurred last spring
it was decided that the trouble was due to the
sliding of rock or soil below the surface into
the subway excavation after heavy blasts
Large quantities Of concrete were Injected into
all the open spaces that could be found TO give.
a firm foundation for the endangered front wallis
OF buildings along the avenue.
The settling of Mr.. Barney's house is believed
10 be due merely to the settling of the bed OF
SOIL above the bed of concrete.
