VOLUME XV. ALBANY, OA., TUE8DAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 13. 1906. NUMBER S3. PURCHASE OF 12 ACRES IN ARCADIA REFERRED TO PARK COMMITTEE WITH POWER TO ACT. Perhaps the most important matter that came up for consideration at the meeting of Council last night was the proposed purchase of a pint of twelve adres in Arcadia to be converted into a city park. It will be remembered that at a pub lic meeting held some time ago for the purpose of memorializing Council to begin the paving of the streets in the business portion of the city, the matter of providing a public park was also brought to the attention of those who preside over the destinies of the oity and the suggestion was made that some land suitable for a park be bought by the city at once. When the matter was brought up at a meeting of Council a special park committee was appointed to investi gate and report back to Council. Since that time the committee has been in vestigating property that was suitable for park purposes, and has decided up on a plat of twelve acres on the west side of Jefferson street in Arcadia. OptlonB have been secured on this property from the various owners and it was reported last night that the city could acquire this plat at the remark ably reasonable price of $3,600. There was considerable discussion of the, proposed purchase Ja'st .night and it may be said that the trend of the talk was strongly favorable to ac- LATE KING’S BODY REMOVED FROM PALACE TO CHURCH WHERE IT WILL LIE IN STATE.

Alderman Tarver also Introduced a motion that the matter of purchasing a new bicycle for Mounted Officer Walden be referred to the contract committee with power to act.; The condition of some of tile prin cipal streets of the city was the sub ject of some discussion and led to In teresting remarks from Alderman Tar-, ver, as chairman of the street com mittee. He stated that as soon as the paving of Washington street was ac complished, it was the plan of the street committee to devote some at tention to permanently improving Pine street from Washington to Jack- son street, aekson street from Pine to Broad street and a portion of Broad street. It was useless to work these streets now, contended Mr. Tarver, when the weather is so had and the traffic so heavy on these thorough fares. With the opening of Washing ton street; however, the traffic on these streets would bo greatly lessen ed and the weather would probably be more suited for street work. At that time it Is the plan )1 the street com mittee to use gravel on these blocks. The proper use of gravel on streets makes them fine thoroughfares, Mr. Tarver said, as has been exemplified in Americus and elsewhere. He said he thought it would be a number of years before the city would. be able to pay her part of any more street paving. Nothing else of Importance was dis cussed or acted upon last night.

Both France and Germany have taken seemingly unchangeable posi tions^—France for a general mandate in Moroccan affairs, and Germany for a combined administration by all the interested powers. If Germany now agrees to give over Morocco to Franco the efforts of years will be fruitless and a long period of unrest in European affairs, it is believed, would begin, the Anal issue of which no one will venture to predict.
