Chas. Cunningham already has
crew of men shearing his bucks at his

is believed to be the first man to start
shearing in this county. He always
shears his bucks first and markets the
wool early. He was in town yesterday
securing sacks for his clip which will be
larger this season than usual as he has
more, sheep than ever before. He has

LTTTNGST0N-ST., BROOKLYN.

Much opposition is expressed by some eStlma-
BILE Brooklyn people TO the plan for widening
Liyingston-st- as to make 1t a highway OF
traffic instead Of an almost impossible back
alley. The grounds of it are doubtless sin
cere but we must regard them as mistaken.
Reduced to their simplest terms, they are TO
this effect: That the proposed widening would
be intoerably costly; that 1t would be hard
ship to Livingston-st- property owners; tnat IL
would benefit certain shopkeepers, and that 1t
is not needed. AS to the cost of the work. that
can easily be estimated In advance with sub
stantial accuracy. 1t has been thus estimated
by competent authorities at much less than
half of the sums named by the opponents Of
the scheme. It is safe to say that, instead OF
being costly, it will be uncommonly inexpensive,
In consideration of its magnitude and bench
cence.
That ii would entail hardship upon the prop
erty owners on the south side of the street Is
not TO be believed. Half, or little more than
half, of their land would be taken. But they
would be paid for 1t, doubtless, a much larger
sum than its present assessed full value" Inc
land left to them would not be rendered worth
less as some now saying On the con-
trary. II would be enhanced in value. We are
not sure but that the half lots remaining
would be worth as much as the whole lots Ia
their present state, and that therefore the price
paid for the land taken would be just so much
clear profit That the improvement would bene-
fit the owners Of the big shops in Fulton-st Is
probable But the benefit to them would be
mere trife compared with that to the general
public Moreover it would be an extraordinary
rule to follow that public work should be
done which promised to be Of benefit TO any
body. There is never a street repaved, or q
bridge or tunnel built park laid out that
does not benefit somebody.
Finally, to the need Of the Improvement
we do not see how there can be any question OF
that Futon-st. from Court-st to Flatbush-aye-
is one of the most crowded and congested
thoroughfares in the world. For years 1t has
needed relief. Travel on it In carriages is slow
and periIous Travel IN the trolley cars pro-
ceeds at snails pace. The volume of traffic
on II is steadily increasing The big shops are
being enlarged and new ones are being built
Nor is there any promise of relief save In the
creation Of a new thoroughfare along Living
ston-st The new bridges and tunnels VIII not
relieve Fulton-st. a bit By the time they are
finished and in the growth Of trade and
traffic will have been great as TO leave fui-
ton-st. even more than It's present quota, while

HOTSE NUMBERS.

Some criticism has been passed upon the new
street signs in Manhattan because they do not
display the numbers of the houses or otner
buildings before which they stand The signs
put I'D during the Strong administration, 1t Is
recalled bore such numbers, and thus greauy
served the convenience of the public. We are
not sure however, that the criticism Is Wen
founded. Street signs should be simple SO as
to be perspicuOus. They should not be cut
tered up with unnecessary details, and any de-
tail which properly belongs elsewhere Is un-
necessary. There can be no question as to the
urgent need of designating the numbers OF
buildings; but the place TO do that is on the
buildings themselves and not on the street
signs.
At present the house numbering OF thls city
is absurd and discreditable 4 large part OF
the buildings are not numbered at all Or those
that are, the majority are so numbered as 10
make it as difficult as possible to read the num-
bers Probably not more than one IN Ten Is
legibIy and nationally numbered. Some nave
the numbers entwined in elaborate scroli"orh
in iron erilles. That method may be artistic
and decorative, but it is about as persplcuous
as q Chinese puzzle. Some have numbers on
vestibule doors, which are usually swung IN
ward and out of sight. Some have them on the
see and where they cannot be seen at all when
the outer doors are closed. Some have them on
the glass headlights over the doors, where their
Iegibility is generally minus quantity rev.
a very few, have the numbers plainly placed
where they can be seen from the sidewalk OF
the street and by day or by night
There should be a municipal ordinance COM
pelling the numbering Of every house In the
latter fashion, and 1t should be rlgldiy en-
forced Such an ordinance was adopted by the
aldermen during the Strong administration, but
through some mistake or misunderstanding was

Alderman Goodman revived and relnuoduced
