GRANITE BLOCK
FOR BROAD STREET
CITY Plan Commission Stands 8
to 3 for This Style of
Paving.

Standing six to three for granite
block, the City Plan Commission to-
day submitted its report to Mayor
Haussling on the pavement OF Broad
street. Attached to the recommen-
dations of the commission is the re-
port of the experts who favor the
selection of wood block. The chief
value of the report of the experts
who were employed as advisers to
the commission lies in its careful
presentation of arguments for and
against asphalt, wood and granite
blocks for Broad street.
Asphalt was dismissed from con-
sideration because of the expense OF
maintenance, which they claim makes
it's ultimate cost as much or larger
than granite or wood block. The
choice of the experts between the
latter two kinds of pavement was
based on the fact that wood block
will last just as long as the granite,
and is compare lively noiseless pave
ment. Commissioners Byrne, Nc
Gregor and Keer concur in this rec
ommendation. while Commissioners
Grotta, Robertson, Feigenspan, Dana,
Stockton and Staehlin, basing their
conclusions on the body of the re-
port. are of the opinion that granite
block would prove more satisfactory.
The summary of the report of the
experts with its recommendations as
made to the commission by George
B. Ford and E. P. Goodrich, and for
warded to the mayor. is as follows:
"Asphalt pavement should be elm
mated from consideration, because,
despite its lower cost, the expense OF
maintenance makes its ultimate cost
as much or larger than either granite
or wood block. Furthermore, the con-
slant repair demanded by asphalt
means that the streets are always
being torn up, with the consequent
incommoding of the traffic.
wood block and granite are Sc
nearly alike in first cost and in main
tenance cost that this item may be
eliminated from consideration.
"Granite block is a little less slip
perry and a little longer wearing and
a little easier to repair, and a little
easier to superintend and inspect. Its
tractive value is slightly less than
wood block, is more dusty and is
much more noisy. The comparative
advantages of the two are nearly
equal, but we recommend wood block
for Broad street. because of the re-
cent experience in Manhattan and
other cities of the country which has
shown a rapidly growing tendency to
make quietness the first considera-
ton in determining the type of pave
ment.
1--WE realize that the rapidly grow
ing use of rubber tires tends to swing
the balance in favor of granite block
and that twenty or twenty-five years
from now, when the question of the
repaving of Broad street will prob
ably come up again, the almost uni
versal use of rubber tires or some
thing similar viii cause the abandon
ment of wood block in favor of stone
block or some similar development,
but we believe that present conditions
demand the use of wood block"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-President
Taft will make no further effort to
have Congress reduce the tariff. In
a general message to Congress sub
mitted today the President clearly
indicated his intention of leaving
further tariff revision to Mr.. Wilson
and the Congress just elected.
that new Congress has
been elected on a platform of tariff
for revenue only rather than a pro-
tective tariff. and is to revise the
tarih on that basis" said the Presi-
dent, "it is needless for me to occupy
the time of Congress with argu-
ments or recommendations In favor of
a protective tariff"
This message, the second submitted
by the President since the present
session began, will be his last of a
general character. 1t dealt with every
department of the government ex-
cept the State Department, recon-
mended much of the legislation which
Mr.. Taft previously had urged upon
the attention of Congress, and took
up and discussed at length several
subjects comparatively new.
Panama Canal Mention Brief.
Mr.. Taft came out strongly against
Independence for the Philippines pro-
posed, he seid, in a bill now before
Congress. He deprecated the new
policy of one battleship a year in
stead of two. and indorsed again the
scheme of currency reform proposed
by the National Monetary Commits
sion.
Conservation was lightly touched,
the President recommending the
amendment of bills now before Con-
gress so that water power companies
which dam navigable rivers will con-
tribute to the Improvement of these
streams
He declared that no radical change
in the Sherman antitrust law was
needed, and praised the Supreme
Court for its recently announced
changes in rules of equity procedure.
In this connection the President
asked Congress to pass legislation
which would allow the Supreme
Court to formulate rules of
procedure under the common law
In Federal courts and predicted that
such action would facilitate justice
in those courts and reduce the cost of
litigation to the public.
Calls Home Army skeleton"
The Panama canal was dismissed
in a few words. the President prophe-
sying its opening in the latter half
of 1918. He took occasion, however,
to declare that Congress should re-
ward the work of Colonel Goethals
by an appointment as major general,
with the provision that he become
chief of engineers when the term OF
the present incumbent expires. He
made only a brief reference to the
dispute with Great Britain over the
Panama canal act, and said that when
a formal protest was lodged against
that act 1t would be taken up by
the United States.
The army the President discussed
at some length. He praised the army
legislation of the last Congress, but
said that provision should be made
by law so that the nations foreign
regiments may be always maintained
upon a war footing, and he urged
the passage of the pending militia
pay BILL designed to make service in
the militia more enticing, and showed
that the home army will be nothing

Sheriff w. G. Phillips, of Somerset
county. last May.
The execution was witnessed by

who had torn down the board enclo-
sure surrounding the gallows, but
there was no other interference with
the officers of the law. Miles made a
statement on the scaffold, admitting
his guilt and declaring that follow
ing the devil brought me to this"

PARIS, Dec. "a dispatch from
Constantinople asserts that Greece
has concluded and signed an armis-
tice with the Porte. This removes
a complication which threatened to
become as serious a menace TO ine
peace of Europe as the clash be-
tween Austria and Servia over AL

When the other Balkan allies agreed

mistice, Greece refused to sign and
continued to press hostilities until
today's dispatch announced that
Greece had followed the example of
the other Balkan States.

ants in the districts bordering on the
Russian frontier are blindly realizing
on everything they possess, turning
it into coin. They are laying in large
stocks of supplies, which they bury
in their backwards against the Rus
sian invasion. One day this week no
fewer than 10000 pigs arrived at
Vienna from Austrian Poland to be
sold.
Preparations are being made for a
general rising in Russian Poland

plies of arms are being bought and
hidden. Revolutlonaries are being
given theoretical military training in
secret schools and are being drilled

quarters of which are at Warsaw, is
expected to put 100000 men in the
field.
VIENNA, Dec. 6-Great importance

while supervising the grounds
Il am about to open the playground
known as the Second City Play
