Question Of Their Prohibition Provokes
Warm Discussion by Board of Aldermen.

At the meeting of the Aldermen yesterday,
warm discussion arose upon the consideration

of the regulations governing the parks. The
original section says no vehicle shall be allowed
to carry passengers for hire in the parks or cir
cles, excepting traffic roads and by special
permission of the Commissioners.
Alderman Morris proposed to amend the regu-
lation by inserting the words "in the Boroughs
of Manhattan and Brooklyn, after excepting,
and more than four" after carry" Alderman
Morris declared that the public automobiles had
way. and that he understood that the Park
Commissioner of The Bronx was about to
license large sight seeing automobiles to carry
passengers from the Fordham station of the
az" to The Bronx Park at 10 cents head. The
matter referred back TO the committee.
Alderman Owens resolution to allow veterans
in the citys employment six days time, with
pay, from September to September 8, inclu-
siVe in order that they may attend the Grand
Army of the Republic encampment was adopted
Alderman Wirth introduced an amendment to
the park regulation which forbids any one to
carry a flag in the public parks without the
permission of the Park Commissioner so that
children in parades celebrating such occa-
sions May Day, may be allowed to carry flags
without special permission. The amendment
was referred to the committee on laws and regu-
lations. The board adjourned until next Mon

MONT4UK ASSESSMENT.
Brooklyn Tag Deputy Says $3.50, 900
Is Proper.

Frank A ODonnel president of the Depart
ment of Taxes, has received from Thomas F.
Larkin, the Deputy Commissioner In charge of
Brooklyn assessments. report saying that the
assessment of $3.50 600 on the Montauk Theatre
is reasonable and proper. This report is i'm
portant by reason of the fact that, while the
assessment was s350,OOO. the Tammany Board
of Estimate and Apportionment paid the owners
Of the theatre 100000 for two-thirds of the
plot on which the theatre stood.
Controller Grout says that this is a reasonable
price, and he backed up his statement last week
by figures from the real estate men in Brook
lyn. saying that the city would have paid only
a reasonable price. if it had paid $560.0O0 for
the plot. The report in rebuttal is follows:

last night, when asked whether Mr. Wallace
would be connected with the Metropol-
itan system, said:
You may say for me that Mr.. Wallace is nor
connected in any way whatever with the new
subway"
Theodore p Shonts, chairman of the Canal
Commission. said he had no official knowledge
If the resignation had been filed it would nave
been sent to President Roosevelt, and he did not
know whether the President would choose to
have its announcement made at Cambridge or
from Washington. Mr.. Shonts said that while
he considered 1t premature to talk of a new
chief engineer. he thought that if it became
necessary to choose one the man would proba bly,
be chosen outside of the present engineering
force.
Have any names been considered?" he was
asked.
II don't think that the President has had to
consider Hhe contingency of a resignation, and
that, of course, preciudes answer to your
question" he replied
Great care was exercised by the President
when he originally selected his board of consult
ing engineers which will meet on September /
and many would not be surprised to find the
possible successor to Chief Engineer Wallace
chosen from this consulting board That board

BURDENS ON GOVERNOR MACON.

BURDENS ON GOVERNOR MAGOON.
Mr. WalIace's retirement from the isthrnus
followed by his resignation, has placed the en-
tire responsibility for affairs in the zone on
Governor Magoon, who is doing the work of
three men, and doing it in a manner which IS
gaining for him the utmost credit with the ad-
ministration. It is a matter of grave regret,
however, that it should be necessary to place
so much on the shoulders OF one man, and steps
will be taken to relieve him to some extent as
soon as possible.
The reasons which are understood to have
actuated Mr.. Wallace in the course he has pur-
sued leave ground for the assumption that
any difference Of opinion between him and
Chairman Shonts regarding the plans to be fol-
lowed in the construction of the canal had any
thing to do with the resignation of the chief
engineer. He understood perfectly. even before
he left Washington for the canal zone that 1t
would rest with Congress to decide whether
level or lock canal should be built. and he
must have known that full weight would be
given to his opinions on this subject by the ao-
ministration and Congress-.
The technical members Of the canal commits
sion are expecting to hold a session on Satur-
day. when all of them except Governor Magoon
will be present The principal subject to he dis
cussed, so far as is known, is details of con-
struction. There will probably be no attempt
TO pass the problems of canal levels. There
is enough work to be done in the next year re-
gardless of the sort of canal which may be built,
and only Congress can decide whether there
shall be a sea level or lock canal. There is
some difference of opinion among the members
of the Canal Commission on this subject. and 1T
is probable that the final recommendation will
depend the judgment expressed by the full
commission, aided by the opinions of the inter
national ADVISERS appointed by the President.
There are all sorts of propositions before the
commission. and it is hoped to dispose of many
of them at the session on Saturday. Most OF
them can be shelved without much trouble and
hardly any Of them are likely to come up for
serious consideration. although nothing will be
ignored lest it contain idea which might be
of service to the experts in formulating the
plans for canal construction. 1t is believed that
the technical advisers employed by the govern
ment will be able to accomplish everything that
is desired.
