 -The members of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement commit tee seems to have the same feeling as almost all other residents of this city in regard to water meters and at the meeting of that body held last evening the board of public works was knocked right and left for recom- mending the expenditure of $60,O0O for metering the city. On this ques- tion at least the members of the con- mittee and Charles COlley agree as he has already expressed his opinion in regard to meters. After the sub ject was thoroughly discussed, a res olution was passed stating that the members of the committee were op- posed to meters. The subject was brought up by Ben Kelsey. who wish ed to find out the opinion of the mem- bers so as to act accordingly at the meeting of the central body. Patrick McNamara was the first to start the denunciation of the plan of motoring the city and. said it was a waste of money to spend $50O00 or $6O.OOO for that purpose Jeremiah Devine and Alderman Malone also expressed their disapproval of the plan. in fact there was none present who had any liking for the plan of the board of works. At last nights meeting it was voted to ask the aldermen to nave South Leonard street from Porter to Sixth streets macadamized. X peti- tion with the signature of all the manufacturers. and taxpayers in that vicinity will be presented to the al. dermen on Monday evening with thnt end in view, It is the intention of the committee to look around to sec where more catch basins and electric lights are needed in Brooklyn and en- deavor to have them placed where wanted. In the absence of Chairman Henderson, Aldermen Malone pre- sided. The other members present were Ben Kelsey, A. W. Nichols, J. Devine, IT. Rasmussen. P. McNama- ra, W.-Hall. and NJ. Mahon. In re- gard to metering the city there arc very few people in Brooklyn. or for that matter in any other part of the city who appear to favor the plan of installing water meters. In all prob ability should the matter be brought before the people for "a vote the idea would be completely swamped. The majority seemed to think that if the city has any money to spend it should place it towards getting new res eryoir. John Henderson was not present at the meeting of the Brook. lyn and Town Plot committee Inst evening but this morning declared he was highly pleased with the action taken by his fellow members. Few are advocating the meter question and I imagine that almost everyone will be pleased if the aldermen dc not favor 1t. think 1t is not the time to talk about metering the city Those meters that are now In ust should only be used so as to allow the commissioners to obtain basis so that all shall pay the same rates. was the way Mir Henderson expressed himself.
