 The new maps of the city engi- neer for the proposed extension of Clark street were presented to the board of works last evening and seemed to meet with the approval of all parties interested. The Brooklyn ties are in hopes that the work will be rushed along SO as to be finished tins year. as they claim that 1t is of no use hurrying the trolley company, if the city does not go ahead to make a way for the company.
 Another shooting affray which might prove fatal took place in Brook lyn last evening, adding to the already long list of such happenings that have occurred in Brooklyn recently. There seems to be no way to stop such m affair as last evening, but 1t looks as if it lies in the power of the city court to put stop to these midnight brawls which are coming thick and fast on this side of the bridge. Hard ly Sunday night passes without some wrangle in which knives and guns play an important part. and if these rackets continue the law ab!d- ing people will be tempted to take a hand in the matter themselves.
 The residents of Brooklyn are complaining of the condition of Bank street on Sunday morning which of late has not been cleaned on the first day of the week. It was the custom of the old board of public works to have this thoroughfare cleaned before : o'clock every Sunday morning as much dirt accumulates during the night. When the street Is not cleaned after Saturday night. it is n very dirty looking place the next day and is an eye sore to the people who use it on that day. The matter was brought to the attention of Commis. sioner Walker of the board of public works yesterday and be promised the i merchant who reminded him of the | fact that he would attend to the mat | ter. The pavement on Bank street | from Kelly's store to the Hellmann | Brewing company is too large q stretch for one man to look after. Al ! though "Dan" Bergin. the present cleaner labors faithfully all day. still | the task before him Is very hard ons and two men should be placed there as was the case before. The method of collecting the dirt also needs at tenfion. When the rubbish is col lected it is allowed to lie In the gut | ters sometimes for couple of days before the wagon comes over to carl it away. Meanwhile the wind scat | ters the stuff which is in the gutters and the cleaning goes for nought. Tho rubbish should he thrown into a car as soon as it is collected and much better results would be obtained.
