 Much interest Is being taken in
 this section in the fight between
 "Fonsey" Vallone and Jeff Doherty, which is to take place in this city on Thursday evening. Both fighters want to win this battle and 1t should be very pretty contest. Although the New Haven man has been fight ing regularly, the Brooklynite has not had a contest in some time, still his friends assert that he Is in good condition and ready for a bruistng battle.

 The members of the. Brooklyn improvement committee are not at all pleased with the plans submitted by Assistant City Engineer Lowndes at the meeting of the board of public works last evening and unless there is decided cnange of grade in the proposed extension the Brooklynites will have nothing to do with it. The members of the committee did not care to say much on the matter this morning, but they did state that the hearing was very unsatisfat tory. It was the plan of the Brooklyn com- mittee to extend Clark street to Green street at such grade that where 1t would unite with James street the grade would be os,ly 5 per cent. By their plan also Poplar ave- nue would be closed up entirely and the land on the closed street would be given to abutting property own- CTS there by lessenihg the damage. The plan of the assistant engineer was submitted last night will extend Clark street in such a way that 1t will meet James street and Poplar avenue at a grade of about eight and a half per cent which will be too much for a trolley car to o'ercome, as there will be d turn at this point. The Drooklyn people want the proposed extension of Clark street to be fifty feet, but they do not care to have James street made such a width. as they think the expense would be too large. They seem to think that the new plans will be made out by the city engineer as 1t was the Brooklyn people who started the boom for the extension of Clark street and as they are the ones who will be- benefited or injured by the change they are the persons who should be suited.
