The; British mining association, in serving notice last night of its inten- tion to terminate the present agree- inent on July 31, intimated that pro- posals for a new pact would be ‘orthcoming. These proposals will undoubtedly provide for longer working hours and less pay. The miners a ure to ieject them, and unless a compro- mise is reached in the meanwhile, a big British strike is forescen for the end of July. London dispatches say the mine owners' action is likely also to give added impetus to the movement already started for a revival of the famous “triple alliance” of minc railway men and transport workers.

This | | was decided at a meeting last night lot the board of public works on the | suggestion of C‘hairman Frank L. Conlon who stated that this would Ihe a good way to test the relative |merits of these pavements and thus | | enable the hoard to select which of them it would use as a substitute for the wooden block pavement on West Main-street now in need of re- placement. Chairman Conlon said that in his | opinion this was the best way to {solve the question as to which type of pavement was the better. Also at his suggestion the board decided to obtain prices for the work and if these are satisfactory, the work will proceed without further delay. A letter was received by the board 5 Davidson ("o., Main street property owners and propri- ctors of two large departmen stores, to the effect that the company is contemplating the erection of anoth- er huilding on property south of its present holdings and that it re- quests the board for an extension in fime in the matter of installing con- crete walks in front of the property. According to the letter, the com- pany intends to erect a building, ap- parently within a year, and install a new concrete walk in front of it. If it is required to replace the present flag walk with concrete at this time, it is their contention, the new walk will be damaged to such an extent-in the process of the new building's erection that it will become neces- sary later to put in still another walk. Chairman Conlon and City En- gineer Williams will confer with Mr. Davidson to learn further of his plans and it is likely that an exten- sion will be granted if it is not for too long a period. Members of the board and City gincer Willlams will go to Troy, N. Y., and Portland, Me,, next week, to inspect street cleaning apparatus in those places, The board has turned over $7,000 of this year's budget for street cleaning appara- tus. The board voted last night to in- stall sewers in Derby street from Vincent avenue northerly about 500 | feet, The probable cost will be $4,- 200 and the estimated assessment $1,040, It was also voted to lnstall at once warning signals near the Nathan Hale school on Tremont street and the ihu Burritt school on North street, Councilman Samuel Sablotsky of the sixth ward laving petitioned them as a means toward the prevention of accidents involv- ing school children. A hearing will be held on the pe- tition of Alfred LeWitt for a sewer in Columbia street from Linwood to Vance street. Another will be held on a petition for a sewer in Ledge- crest avenue from Daly to Long street. On the petition for the ac- ceptance of Tedgecrest avenue and the establishment of a street grade and building lines, a map will be prepared and a hearing held. A petition was received for the removal of trees in front of the old aut esiate property on Arch street. and en the suggsstion of | Chairman Conlon an imspection will | made before any action is taken.
