 The meeting of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee last evening was reorganization, as 1t were, because the committee has not been doing much work during the warm weather. Now that the at mosphere is cooler the BroOklynites are ready to attend to business for the next ten months, and will make their presence felt when matters of public interest are brought before the various boards. There are some members who are such in name only, that have not attended the meetings of the body in a long time. These "stayaways' should, for the welfare of the committee, send in their resig- nations since they do not care to as- semble on the regular meeting night The Brooklyn and Town Plot I'm provement committee, at first con sldered joke by many, has proved a powerful organization. and few will forget the fight it made against the Connecticut Railway X Lighting con- pany. It was this body which urged the mayor to take the stand he did, and eventually made the trolley com pany come to terms. It was the Brooklyn committee through It's rep resentative, Attorney Lynch. who gave the water meter plan black eye a scheme, which would cost large amount of money and in the opinion of many would not work nearly us well as the present system. It was the same committee that was the means of having the trolley company prom ise line for Town Plot. In fact very few importapt measures have been. carried out during the past year which the Brooklyn people. through this committee. have not had few words to say on. At last nights ses- sion 1t was decided to push the work of strengthening Bank street near the bridge, at this point is enough of a drawback to this section and since that cannot be altered. 1t is time that that the street was made right. even though 1t will cost a few thousand dollars. Benjamin Kelsey declared that he thought it would be best for the committee to hammer away at this matter until some results were shown. q think that our efforts VIII he much more successful If we con centrate them on one thing ana push 1t along until We nave attained it." said Ben" The ma jority of the members seemed to share his opinion, and committee consist ing of Mir Kelsey, Attorney Lynch and r. McNamara. was appointed to bring this matter before the mayor and the board of aldermen again. En- rineer Cairns some time ago submitted plans showing how by moving the bridge and buying a portion of the De Lucia property nearby, the improvement could be carried out for about s30.000. At last nights meeting 1t was also voted to abolish the sub-cemmittees. Ben iamin R. Kelsey reported that he had conferred with representatives of the Hill. Mill Plain and other improve ment societies to discuss plans to pursue for the purpose Of obtaining better mail service in this city. An other meeting of delegates from these organizations will be held in inc near future. For the "skatey eight eleventh" time the Liberty street extension was discussed. If the people of the town have lost hope of seeing this job commenced the committee has not. It thinks that within two years not only will the extension fo Bank street be reality. but will also continue as far as West Main. They say this is no pipe. II ii is accomplished Tom" Kelly will undoubtedly send a barrel of flour to every member on the committee. As was expected. the members of the Na .o.,r,fftaa nr sOroa nf the
