JOHN HENDERsoN's IDEA
\ Twelve Foot fassway From 5sweiry
 Street to Bank-He wIu Donate Lana
 f, Take the Ktuk. Out of Washington

A Twelve Foot Passway From Jsweiry
 Street to Bank-He wiii Donate Lana
 to Take the Kinks Out of Washington
 Avenue.
 Editcr of the DEMOCRAT:
 In raterence to the much needed exten- sion of either West Liberty or Jewelry street to Bank street-a matter which has been brought up time and again during the past twenty -nve years. and which l am pleased to see the DEMOCRAT is reviving- it seems to me that for the accommodation of pedestrians it is an absolute necessity. but not so for vehicles. would therefore propose a passway about twelve feet wide. from the Bank street bridge to Jewelry street, running along the river wall. part of which Is already built. or course Great brook and the Naugatuck railroad would have to be brIdged over. There would be fewer track. however, U cross at that point than any other. Ar | rancements also might be made with the | railroad company to have a foot bridge on the south side of the railroad bridge. con meeting by steps or an inclined plane with the elevated foot bridge. for the accom- mediation of Holmes. Booth X Haydens' employees. Such bridges and foot path would amply suffice for all public neces- sities for many years to come.
 In answer 10 the question that was asked in your Brooklyn Briefs" last evening. l would say that a little more than a year ago when about to lay A new sidewalk in front of my property on Washington ave nue. offered to give my land free of cost to have the avenue straiGhtened from West Porter street to South Wilson street Where there are four bends in it between Bank and south Wilson streets, n distance of 1 26G feet. there is rise of l37i feet which is accomplished by eight different grades. varying from less than three fee' to nearly fifteen feet in loo. To get tha grade changed so that no part of it will b' ; sleeper than twelve feet ia 100. and to Ge the unnecessary bends removed. Will sa, that if il should be done before long would donate some land, and for damages to the property would accept the awarT of the board of compensation.

 At the thiId New England conference of charities. correction and philanthropy. held at Newport. +. l.. recently Joseph c. Thorpe.

In the county and city prisons prisoners are de gently clothed and fed. but beyond this little is done. In nearly all k found srri. ous. and sometimes unsanitary. over crowdinc. requiring doubling up Tn the use of cells; great numbers of men and women held for non-payment of fines. hahitual misdemcanantS committed over and over again on short terms: the indis- crimiuate mixing up of all sorts of offend. ers-the young thrust into association with the old. degraded and vile anu the prisons made inviting to the vacaboud tramp and drunkard as comfortable re- sorts, where they CAD recruit for further offending.
 The report caiticises in this respect the 1 jaIls al New Haven and Hartford in Con. ntcticut. the house of correction at Rut, land Vt. the Boston house of indu stry and he Suffolk county house of correction at Providence. It considers that the cry. ing abuse of our penal system. and one ot the greatest causes of crime. is the treat meut c: the misdemelut class in the minor prisons. and il advocates for miSdemrant, less imprisonment and more probation under properly organized system: the in dett rminate sentence: classification ac cording to offense and conduct: sIadIng as far aS possible; release on parole: the per petual confinement of the inccrriSihle n hard. regular work. and for all misde I applied under such positive helpful in huences are regarded of refcrmntor, value in the outside world. To make thi possible. the report recognizes that al penal institutions must be under the cen tral suPervi- ion of the state. and that tn, county and city control of minor prison, should cease.
