New Plan Of Levy
For the Paving Tax

Several problems have arisen in conneo-
ton with the assessment of paving taxes
that the city council will now have to
solve. All OF the assessment, must how
be made under the new law that went
into effect January J. This provides that
the cost must be assessed to the property
within a district extending 800 feet from
each side of the paved street. Upon
recommendation Of City Engineer spet-
man. the council has divided the SOO-foot
strip into three zones. the first 100 feet
represents tho first zone and must bear
20 per cent OF the total cost: the second
100 feet, the second. zone, and win bear
20 Per cent. and the last 100 feet VIII bear
the remaining 10 per cent
This arrRngement. It is asserted, Is easy
and equitable where the zones do not
conflict with other streets. II the city
blocks are 800 feet wide ana an alley
separates them, the law directs that the
alley be regarded as the dividing line and
the, three zones will be correspondingly
smaller. The problem is presented. when
there Is an unbroken s00-foot strip on
pne side and only $50 feet on the other.
II, the S00-foot strip II made to, bear Its
full zone ratio. the owner of the property
will be assessed more than half OF the
eosf q paving both sidks ~ the street and
more than he would haps been Obliged to
pay qnder the old Law where ali or the
COST was assessed to abttting property.
There are numerous cases such az this
on sopth avenue and several OF abe other
streets recehtiy paved with concrete which
win have to be solved by the council at

which consists of transferring mail to

SAYS ALLIES MUST DRIVE
GERMANS OUT OF BELGIUM
But George Bernard Shaw Wants
Peace Concluded on Terms of Re
spect for Each Other.

LONDON, October 27.-Lecturing in
London last night on Aspects of the
War" George Bernard Shaw contended
that it was the sacred obligation of the
allies to drive the Germans out of Bel
GUM, but. he added, there could be
no thought of crushing Germany. He
declared that peace ought to be con-
cluded on terms enab bling the former
enemies to respect one another.
With reference to British politics, he
considered that by forming the coaIi-
ton ministry the people got worse
government than before. What was
wanted, he said was new young blood
in the government. and that the min
listers should be made responsible for
their actions.
Mr.. Shaw strongly advocated the
holding of general election immedi-
ately, and appealed for liberty of
speech and the press. He denounced in
this connection those who wanted to
muzzle the Northcliffe press. although
he himself had no sympathy with the
policy of Lord Northcliffe.

West saith street from 5th avenue to
9Th avenue, where he and his son have
their homes, have failed and a firm has
leased one of the residences for store.
Mr.. Rockefeller has been buying
every house in the block where it was
feared that business might get a foot
hold. The last two houses secured
were valued at $4,000. and it has
been estimated that his effort to shut
out the shops has cost him close to
100000. He was unable to buy the
home that has been leased as it was
understood the owner would not sell.

progress of the campaign in northern

Lord Loreburn need have no appre-
hension in this or any other matter of
the kind that the government is likely
to be led into precipitate action owing
to some hurried impulse or some vague
sentiment to achieve its object. At
every step the government will take
the best military and naval advice OBJ
tainable, and that advice will have
reference not only to the new enter
prise, but to all subsidiary questions,
