 That rents are very scarce in Brooklyn was proved this week when a number of people called upon a man who has small store idle on Bank street and endeavored to rent it from him. They were all looking for small rents, not caring to go to places where they would be unable to pay rent. Those that called have been unable to find small rents in this part of the town and said that 1t was very difficult to obtain any kind of a rent over here. The family which has been stated in the Demo- crat. as living in a barn at James place is still residing there. the peo- pie claiming that they are unable to get rent in Brooklyn.
 Acting on the hint given in the Democrat Wednesday evening, the street department has now two men working on the Bank street pave ment. The men also have at their disposal can in which to throw the .dirt accordingly as they clean 1t up. Alderman Walker. who is member of the board of works, undoubtedly had something to do with getting the new man on the pavement as he look ed after the matter as soon as 1t was brought to his attention. He also states that he will have man over here early Sunday morning to see that the street is swept early that morning, so that 1t will not look dirty the entire day. Things are be- ginning to come Brooklyn's way and perhaps those things which the resi- dents have been hankering for the past few years will all be attended to before the present administration goes out of office.
