BROOKLYN BRnrs,

 MT and Mrs George Glover of South Leonard street are entertain ing friends at their home.
 MT and Mrs Ernest Lang left for Branford to-day. where they expect to spend weeks vacation.
 Philip Bernstein, who has just graduated from Yale law school, was visiting yesterday David Rosenberg, clerk at Walkers drug store.

 The conduct of people who make a stamping ground of the Barnard school steps was brought up at the meeting of the Brooklyn Improve ment society last night. The only remedy for this is suitable fence. Something should encircle every school in the city. Some of the schools are fenced in, but others are left to the mercy of everybody who happens along. The Barnard building is one of them.
 Superintendent Beach of the po- lice department was over here yes- terday and had a run-in with the foreman who has charge of the job at Bank street. MT Beach wanted steps taken to protect pedestrians from damage by things falling through the bridge to the sidewalk, but he got scant satisfaction until he called upon prosecuting attorney who gave the contractor to understand that if he neglected to protect the public he would have to cease opera tions. This was followed by a con- ference between Mayor Thoms, Su- perintendent Beach and James s. El- ton, a director of the Consolidated road, at which 1t was decided that human life must not be endangered no matter what 1t might cost to safe- guard 1t. This means that suitable protection will be provided for the public during the progress of mak- ing such changes as have been plan ned at the Bank street bridge.
 The. Brooklyn Improvement so- ciety held a meeting last night and talked over several matters, includ- ing the proposed extension of Clark street: There appears to be differ ence of opinion between the Town Plot people and Brooklyn as to whether it is better to connect with Green street or James street, the for mer favoring James street and the latter making a bid for Green street. I'm 0rry,p said one of the men from the high hill to the man on the Brooklyn Briefs, "that our friends of the Brooklyn Improvement society differ from is on this point. If Clark street is extended to Green street 1t would necessitate the closing of Pop ular avenue from Green street to Washington avenue and James street extension would also have to go of the map. This in addition to mean ing big expense would work hard ship to many, and so long as better results can be had by stopping at James street, 1 see no sense in Mir Henderson's contention. With Clark street extended to James street at ar per cent grade. you have almost a direct route for the trolley to Bank street. while if you go to. Green street the trolley will have to run along Drayer avenue, John street and James street before 1t gets to Bank street We want the trolley and 1t is admitted on all sides that the read fest route is by way of James street and Clark street extension. What, then. is the use of quarreling about small matters? The question upper most in the minds of all should bs what will put us in the best shape for trolley service? not what we think of this or that proposition our selves"
