 It was plain from the tone of ,be remarks of Alderman Malone of tba fourth ward Monday night when. ne spoke relative to the proposition to pave South Leonard street from Fifth street to Washington avanua that he didn't think the property val uable enough to stand an assessment for that class of work. He said ba lIad d notion that macadam woujd meet the requirements Of that street and asked Mir Walker what kind of material the department of public works intends tO use there. Mir Walk er replied that there is considerable heavy trucking down that way siuca the factories built h South Brooklyn and that the intention is to pave Ii and assess the abutting property owners share of the expenSe. Mir Malone didn't say any more. but 1t would appear from the way he acted that he had reason to believe tha owners of property arc not enthusias- tic over the project I.8wever. they will be heard before the work is ordered and if they are opposed to it they will have a chance to say 90.
