GOOD SUGGESTIONS.
And They Are All Offered for
the Benefit Of Brooklyn.
improvements that Are Needed In
the City Of Churches.
One Suggestion Comes from tho Dis
tunt State of Michigan,

Among the contributors to this column to-
dov is Michigan man. who formerly lived In
BrooElyn and who apparently stiIl reads THE
ryryiNd WORLD, though he is far away from
the place OF It's publication. He fayors the
annexation OF Brooklyn TO New York and In
d,cates the good results that will follow.
Many New Workers who lived erst-
while In Brooklyn have sent In sug-
ccstions, and good ones, too, but 1t
must be understood that so TAR as the
contest for the GOLD DOUBLE EAGLE is con-
cerned only Brooklynite can win 1t, as none
but citizens OF Brooklyn are eligible. Com
munications must he limited to 200 words.

4 Friend In Michigan.
w, A, B., New Haven, Macomb county,
Mich.-Having been longtime resident OF
both New York and Brooklyn In former years,
am much interested In the discussion now
pending as to the greatest needed improve
ments OF Brooklyn. AS an outsider permit
me to say that in my opinion Brooklyn's
greatest Improvement would DC consolidatlon
with New York. All other Improvements that
may be suggested sink into ipsignifcance
compared with the one great overshadowing
cOnsideration-anneAat
When this step Is taken aided by a faithful,
influential journal like THE EVENING WORLD

wrongs and grievances, mighty change Tor
the Improvement or Brooklyn will have been
inaugurated.

Another Call for Pdrkhurst.
JULIA LARRAuY-lf you wish to know how
to make Brooklyn better place for honest,
hard-working people give us Parkhurst
here to do away with evil resorts, kept on
the pretense OF furnished rooms and board

4 Side,ratk in Front Of the Church.
4. WILLIAMs-I am q neighbor OF the BUSH
wick Avenue baptist, and also have some IL
terest in the church because OF the way 1t has
grown and the fine locality in which 1t Is
Situated. I now take pleasure In conBratu-
lating the members OF the church on the way
they are improving their property by putting
iine fence up, but hope that they do not
think that Is all, FOR sidewalk Is the most
important thing on that corner; especially
on a rainy day II is terrible.
