Louis BIeriot

New York, May S-That flying by
aeroplane will be very common by
1913, If not before is the prediction
made by Louis Bleriot, the noted
French aviator, who is spending a
few days in America. "Aeroplanes will
be as plenty as automobiles ten or
twenty years hence" he says. Not
only men, but women, will fly across
the Atlantic"
M. Bleriot will not fly in America.
In fact, he will do very little flying
in the future, but will devote the
most of his time to the manufacture
of monoplanes. He may stop long
enough to make a flight from Peking
to Paris late this year, however. He
believes he can make the trip in ff-
teen days.
'I am making monoplanes for Ger
many, France and Italy" says Bleriot.
81 made seventy-two machines last
year, and during the first four months
of 1912 I have made $50. The race
from Picking to Paris will do more to
develop aeroplanes than anything that
has vet been offered. Speed will not
count in the development hereafter"
M. Bleriot, who Is accompanied by
Nine Bleriot, will return to France on
May 8.

After hearing from Mr.. Baben, who
lives with his daughter at the south
east corner of Belmont street and
Eighth avenue, in reference to the
damage done to his property through
recent rains caused by the grading and
peving done by the city, it was decided
To refer the matter to the finance
committee for a reconsideration, that
committee having previously recon-
Elended that no damages be allowed.
The request of the board of health
for an appropriation Of $500 to aid In
the campaign against flies and mos
ouitoes was also referred to the finance
committee
After reading a communication from

OF the latter department.
Acting upon the Recommendation of
the finance committee, the council
voted to appropriate $500 to be used
to establish a fire alarm box at the
corner of Garden and + streets.
The harbor and sanitary committee
reported that a full report upon the

slang, they are said to have ii on our

The Chinese coaches use mega
phones when they're at work on the
base lines. The other day at Chicago
