 Officer Tehan's imelyappearance probably prevented what might have ended in serious affair last night. Two men were walking along South Leonard street about S:30, gesticulat- ing and jawing away.

 At a meeting of the Junior league held last evening at the rooms of the Quaker A. c. the management of the Stanley Parks team was changed.

 Sixty children plodding all the way from the lower end of the South Brooklyn district clear up to the Porter street school over street that is veritable quagmire in winter, is something that ought to set the city fathers thinking, but there are so many irons in the fire such things are apt to be overlooked unless some body keeps after them. It would seem that this would be proper sub ject for Superintendent Tinker of the of education to take hold of and see what can be done to con- vince the city fathers that this case is more urgent than many that are in the works and are being pushed to South Brooklyn came into the full taxation district of its own volition. but most people down that way feel that they made grievous mistake and wish they could undo what has been done in this re- spect. One of them told the man on the Brooklyn briefs to-day that 1t was pretty hard to be satisfied pay ing full taxes and receiving practice ally nothing in return therefor while in other town districts which Is paying only half rates is be- ing developed and also getting of police protection There is a good deal of truth in this and While the remedy Is plain nobody cares to apply 1t. When the city started to make certain kinds of im- provements In the outside district be- fore demanding a revision of the sys- tenn of taxation they opened wide gap and the trouble now is how to close it or make those who want to gallop through it pay on an equitable basis. South Brooklyn is probably getting 1t in the neck a trifle worse than any other district, but those who live down that way must not take no for an answer. but keep right on pounding until they get what they want. They should take a tin from Simonsville, Town Plot and Hill street.
