TO FORM COMPANY IN FLATBUsH-GENERAL
NOTES.
There Is a plan on foot to ret up company Of
National Guarismen in F1atbush and enough men in
1ncutial in the militia are Interested to make IL
possible that something may come of the agitation.
The recent talk OF raising separate company in ia
maica ended in talk, for General Porter allowed 1t to
be made known that no such company would be en-
listed The lack of money for military purposes was
one reason and the legal limit ON the total number
Of gardsmen is so nearly reached that the officials are
reluctant TO establish any new organization The same
objection would apply to the formation Of separate
company in Flatbush, but there IS another arrange
ment that might be made that would be 10 the ed
vantage Of all concerned That Is the formation OF IA
new company attached to one OF the second Brigade
regiments Major Alfred f. Steers, Of the }2d Regi-
ment lives in Flatbush and Is one OF Those moSe
interested in the project 1t Is more than likely that
n an organization is perfected II will become com
pany In the 32d Regiment. There is no reason why
this should not be done. The 32d Regiment mas
never had the full number Of companies and there Is
plenty OF room there. Besides, the regiment numcr-
Icaly is far below the limit There are many mon
