 The Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee will meet as usual tomorrow evening at 7:3O. Some of the members were of the impression that because of the fes- tival at the Lyceum no session would be held, but such is not the case. If the festival is carried on tomorrow evening the members of the commit tee will assemble at the regular meeting place and adjourn to the office of John Henderson which IS near by. All the meetings of the committee are proving interesting just now and the one tomorrow night Is likely to be no exception. The members will no doubt have something to say regarding the ac- tion of the board of public works which Tuesday evening voted to have the aldermen petition the general assembly for permission to issue bonds to the amount of $20,000 for street improvement. It was the members of the Brooklyn and Town Plot committee which about six months ago brought up the idea of having bonds issued for the improv- ing of our streets which are. 1t Is safe to state, about the worst in the state.

 Brooklyn still continues to rank in the first row in regard to rail- road accidents. no less than two deaths occurring here within the space of four days. These accidents
 happen with alarming regularity
 and instead of decreasing they seem
 to be on the increase. The number of people that lose their lives on
 the tracks within a stones throw oi
 Brooklyn is simply appalling and nc
 wonder residents shudder when the,
 are in the vicinity of the rails. True

 employees of the road. but it seem.
