 The fourteen-year-old son of MT
 CoddlngtOn of Town Plot was nipped
 by dog yesterday afternoon and 1t
 Is question whether the animal had
 the rabies. In all propability the
 brains of the cur will be sent to the
 Pasteur institute in New York, as
 Dr Galley who attender the boy think
 that this Is advisable. The dog was owned by Arthur Nichols of 108 Avon
 avenue and of late the boys in the
 neighborhood have been bothering it
 with stones. Yesterday they boin-
 barded 1t until 1t finally attacked Cod dington. Although the dog had neith- CT chain nor muzzle, 1t is not likely that it would have caused any trou-
 ble if 1t were not molested.

 -Becanse there was some doubt as to whether there would be a meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot I'm proyement committee last evening few of the members were not present but very enthusiastic session of the was held. Chairman John Henderson presiding. The question of street sprinkling occupied much of the time of the members and the question of free water for the com pany was discussed for some length. The proposed ordinance allowing the .. R. X l.. company free water to sprinkle. only between the rails and l couple of feet outside was explain d thoroughly by Attorney Lynch and Lawlor and although they admitted hat 1t has an embodiment of the 'tate laws. still they saw no reason why the city should furnish water to he company when private individuals ire compelled to pay for the water which they use for sprinkling pur. poses. The members of the commit ee seem to think that if the trolley company would be willing to sprinkle he entire street instead of a couple # feet outside the rails it would be III right to supply it with water, oth- | rwise they think the company should ome up with the money for water. which they receive for sprinkling. At nrney Lynch stated that the matter eapriedcto the legislature to ee what can be accomplished there n regard to the same. The majority | f taxpayers pay $50 yearly for prinkling purposes and the commit. ee does not think it just that they hould be compelled to pay for water | rhich the company uses. Patrick fcNamara claimed that if the com any was given water free of charge ne more corporation wuld be added 9 the list of those that already are aving a snap at the expense of tho ity. In his opinion the city attorney hould be instructed to secure the assage of a proper statute fin regard 3 the matter. During the evening ls0 the present system of taxation or water was strongly attacked and igorously denounced by several of the iembers. They deplore the plan which ives corporations and factories wa Pr at a price much cheaper than nat which the private consumer Is ompelled to pay. This subject will be rought before the public works next tuesday evening. The members of the think that they will not ave much trouble in killing the pro- osed ordinance relating 10 given the i. R. & l.. free water. for sprinkling etween and on two feet, either side the rails. It seems that some one 'ent up a tree in regard to the ef- ,rts of the committee to receive in. ,rmation from the city attorney in re- ard to the proper legislation as to le raising of the Bank street bridge. hen the vote of the aldermen was ken the word "clty attorney" was serted in the motion but 1t seems lat Chairman Filling thought 1t was
 mistake and put in the words "city lgineer." Consequently the communi- lion never reached the city attorney lerefore he did not give the advice lat was wanted. The mistake has 'st the committee about three weeks a delay. hut now the matter will , hustled along in an endeavor to ake up for lost time. The commit . wants that bridge raised and it cans to leave nothing undone in the tempt to get a suitable approach for rcoklyn.
