 Ut must make Hans Rasmussen sore at heart to hear so much about the Thomaston trolley line with hardly a word said about the pro- posed line to Town Plot.
 The John J. O'Brien Construc- ton company which is doing the work for the New York, New Haven and Hartford In this section is dump ing considerable sand for grading purposes along its tracks near South Riverside street.
 The Duggan school ix in readi- ness for the opening of the fall term next week. Although there is likely to be a big increase in the attend ance, the new addition will provide enough room for the number of new scholars. Although three of the rooms have already been opened, there are three that are yet to be filled, and there is not much chance of the school being overcrowded this year. The bank in the rear of the building has been cut away consii- erably but 1t will be some time be- fore the retaining wall is built.
 In all probability the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement society will meet a week from Friday af.er a vacation of four weeks. At the last session it was voted to discon. tinue meetings during the month of August and longer If thought to be necessary, but as the weather Is now cool enough the meetings will un- doubtedly pc started again next week. It will be of interest to know to which party the society will throw its support in the coming election since 1t Is not likely to get out a ticket of its own as vas planned some months ago. It .s a we'll known fact that Chairman John Henderson who during his lifetime has been a republican Is sick at heart of the party and VIII not entuse over any candidate whom the organization may put up. As Mir Henderson thinks so do other republicans who havs seen Brooklyn entirely forgotten dn- der the regime of the 6. O. p. politi- clans. Although the past two years Brooklyn has not received all that it has asked for nevertheless more went its way than for a number of years previous. Msyor Thoms has been friendly to the Brooklyn and Town Plot organization and worked for the interests of the taxpayers even though at times he did not seem to be bettering the condition of things across the bridge Mr Hem derson remarked at a meeting 0f the Brooklyn and Town Plot so- eiety some weeks ago. "hs has done better towards us than any other man for a long time and I would not advocate tas placing in power again of the republicans. But 1t is not probable that the sO- ciety will take sides. What the mom- bers will endsavor to obtsin next is a question The Clark ftreet exter- sion is still what they want to have done and t3 be followed 5y the troll ley. If these two Improvements be- come reelitIez. the socsofF vfli have done something big for the secfioc It hss looked after % yell the past year and c 1zif-
