NOT PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Bricks Used in Street Regarded as Be
longing to Municipality.

Robert A.,sand r. H. Phillips recently
wrote to the Commissioners stating that
they had deposited with the collector of
taxes one-half the estimated cost of a new
sidewalk In front of premises 3342 to 3348
M street northwest and that they wished
to use portion OF the brick in the present
pavement when removed for paving in the
rear of the property.
The writers contended that the act Of
Congress relating to the building of new
sidewalks contempiates the net cost, and
that If there is valuable building material
in the old sidewalk 1t is equitable that its
value should be ascertained. and in the
event the fronting owner prefers one-half
the brick for private use it would avoid
red tape and apparently be equitable to
permit him to remove the same when the
one-haK cost had been paid in advance.
In regard. to this matter the engineer
department reports as follows:
although there has been no decision by
the courts on this question, 1t has been uni
formly held by every law officer Of the
District that paving materials once incor-
porated into the street becomes part of the
street. and consequently the property of the
municipality The right OF property being

That President Mckinley Had Favored
the Nicaragua Route.

In the Senate yesterday afternoon the
question of committee assignments was
again postponed, as was also the motion
to reconsider the vote on the Newlands
joint resolution, concerning the annexation

President Mckinley had favored the Mica
ragua line. and this statement was chal-
lenged by Mr.. Hanna, who said he knew
of his own personal knowledge that Mr..
Mckinley had urged the most careful in
yestigation after he had learned that the
Panama canal property was available.
Mr.. Morgan, after speaking about three
hours concluded his prepared speech by
saying that he had no objection to the
adoption of the motion to make the COM

utilized by him as the basis for his speech
