 --As the teachers of the Porter street school are going visiting Fri. day, there will be no session in the building on that day.
 The board of education acted wisely on the petition presented last evening and did good thing by de- ciding to change the name of the Bank street school to that of Duggan after the late Father Duggan. for many years pastor of St Patrick's church. Considering his efforts in the educa- tional line and what he did for this section of the city, no more appro- priate name could be given the edi. fee. Father Duggan always had the ' interests of children at heart and was forever looking after their welfare.
 No matter how the residents of other sections of the city feel over the dog situation, the people of Brooklyn are certainly out of sorts with the manner in which their animals have been treated the past couple of They think it Is about time to do something which will put an end'to the nuisance. for gopdly num- Der think that the muzzling of dogs the past few weeks and for that matter all through the period, that they have had nooses has been a farce. Since the veterinary surgeon, who does almost all the work for the city, or the greater part has asserted many times that the strap muzzles are only farce. it is strange that Is not done to make the effective. or an order issued allowing the muzzles to be taken off. 4 couple of Brooklyn people have last !, couple of fine dogs which they claim were made daffy because of being to wear muzzles. Coming on he warm weather it would seem as if he dogs should be tied up for about month or some other measure taken which would tend to do some good. f the dogs are compelled to wear hose old straps all summer which hey have been carrying the past few months, before next fall there will be though mad canines in this city to tart cur sanitarium.
 'I certainly admire the stand hat Mayor Thoms has taken and as l. le has all the better of the argument nd facts. I don't see where the offi-
 als of the trolley company have a eg to stand on when, they claim that fayor Thoms has been allowing poli- ics to interfere with his action to- var1 the Connecticut Railway and lighting company" The above state nent was made this morning by John Henderson. chairman of the Brooklyn nd Town Plot Improvement commit ee. who should know few things bout the recent conference between l. W. Paige. General Manager Seweli nd the mayor. Mir Henderson said hat he was in favor of the Robbins treet line providing the company -ould do what 1t agreed to do. But" he continued. 'they have not cted at all fairly. Although they as- arted that S2.OO0 or 5000 would lake little or no difference to them Till when their engineer and City En- ineer Cairns could see where, the osts could he made as low as S30.OO0, 15,000 from the city and Sl5.000 from le trolley company. the latter made 0 effort to bring about compromise nder such conditions. Now the repre- of the company has the ef- 'ontery to assert that the mayor has cen the means of holding up the line nd is making the affair a political ne. I assure you that in my opinion [ayor Thoms has proved himself a Ian that the citizens should feel roud of. and cannot help but ad- ire him fin his fight against the q. . X l.. company. which has proved self very unfaithful to promises ade to the Brooklynitee and fhe tvs executive" Mir Henderson hand d the trolley company without owes and as the majority of the embers of the committee of which . is chairman have the same opin- n. it can be seen that the BrokIyn- es almost to man are with the ayor.
