Electricity and Water In Brooklyn.


Mr.. DAVID A. Body. the new Mayor o!
Brooklyn. has begun his administration
wisely and we'll.
The two questions which most interest
the people OF that city at the present time
relate to the trolley method OF propulsion
on street railroads. and the extension Of the
water system SO as TO embrace the new
ward which includes that portion Of Brook
lyn known as East New York.
On coming into Office Mayor BoopY found
awaiting his approval or disapproval res
olution OF the Board Of Aldermen consent
ing In behalf Of the city to the introduction
OF the electric trolley system on oil tho
more important street railway lines In
Brooklyn. This resolution had been before
his predecessor. Mayor CHAPLIN. for more
than week. and the fact that he did not
approve 1t seems to have confirmed Mayor
BoopY's doubts a. to the wisdom of the
measure. At all events. he has returned
the resolution to the Board OF Aldermen
without his approval. and he gives three
reasons for the veto: First. that no city of
the size of Brooklyn has yet adopted the
trolley system: secondly. that the resolu-
ton grants important privileges for which
the city receives no equivalent; and. thirdly.
that the trolley system is alleged to be
dangerous to life.
On this last point Mayor BooDY says:

to yield many OF our personal conveniences
