TALK ENBANKMENT NOW
B. r. T. Engineers FaUor One on
Brighton DiUiSiOn

Il Is proposed by the engineers Of the Brook
'yn Rapid Transit Company, in regard TO the
Improvement Of the Brighton Beach division, TO
erect an eubankment along the line from
Church-ave to the end Of the road. The plan Of
been SO much opposition. win in this way be
done away with
II was said that the embankment method will
comply with the law governing grade crossings,
although TO carry out this work II will be neces-
sary for the company to raise its right Of way
so that the various streets crossing the lire can
be cut through the embankment In order that
the enbarkment may not be an eyesore TO the
residents along the line, the company has agreed
to irnprbve its general appearance and have the
sIoping sides sodded-
Some of the residents in the F!atbush Pros
pect Park South and other sections which lie on
either side Of the tracks think the sodded en-
baukment may be q detriment to property. and
q source Of annoyance to persons who live close
TO the line, and who now enjoy an unOhstructed
view Of the surrounding country. They hold
that a subway is the only way out Of the diff
fcuIty. and that If the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company would depress its tracks every one
would be benefited
Many suburban property owners, on the other
hand, urge that the enbanEUent scheme is
good and that only those who live near the Ioal
or whose property backs up TO il are opposed
10 the change. They contend that suburban
residents do not wish to travel to and from the
ciry in q tunnel in the summer, and take chances
Of having the road clogged up with snow in the
winter. II is declared that only > per cent Of
the residents would be affected # the plan is
carried out while the remaining 80 per cent
would be benefited by a realty boom

spilled a few fingers of nose paint
down his trough also. At any rate
he was bad, awful bad. The old
roller skating rink was in full blast
at the time and it was there our hero
wendell his way. Upon reaching
the scene of action he squared him
self and lugged out a huge six shoot
err and announced then aud there it
was his night to howl. The effect
on the crowd was electrical so we
are told; we were too busy to see
what the other fellows were doing.
We were up against q problem Of
how to squeeze q certain human be-
ing into on out-of-t the way cracker
box at the time. Nose was hurridly
sent for and as hurrldly came
humping in. He didn't say any
thing but our bad mar knew he was
there all right. There was one lunge
made by Nose and our mean boy was
crushed to the floor like a play house
OF cards. Nose methodically took
unto himself the offenders pistol and
with all elaboration proceeded to
screw the barrel Of the weapon into
the bold terrors ear, so goes the
story. After they had quieted his
bowls Nose led him to the railroad
track and planted a No. 10 boot
where it would do the most good
and that bad man from the tall
grass has not been seen here since.
