The Improvements now being made in the TVenty slxCh ward, under the direction ot the park department, are proceeding in a very satisfactory manner and unless something unforeseen occurs to prevent the work on Eastern parkway, Glemmore and Pennsyl vania avenues will be completed at and possibly before the time specified in the contracts. The work has thus far proceeded successfully and rapidly without a hitch of any kind and those interested In the work, including Commissioner "Woodruff, are highly pleased with the results attained. The ward will soon be able to show some of the best work of street builders and unless all signs lail that on Pennsylvania avenue, a practical experiment, will attract the attention of those favoring brick as a pavement. It Is here that the contractor has endeavored to show his best work and If possible aid in obliterating the prejudioe shown by many residents of the city to the use of brick in the streets. The paving 'on Pennsylvania avenue, one block of Tunica has been completed, extends from Jamaica avenue to Belmont avenue, a distance of a(bout twency eight thousand feet.

This does not Include the intersections of other streets, which at a later date may he Improved by the cc operation with the city works department. Brick pavement will also be laid on Bushwick avenue, from Jamaica avenue to the granite block pavement now laid In order to connect the eastern district with tihe new outlet to Long Island, Glen moire avenue. Work hers was begun at Jamaiiea avenue and Is proceeding in a sout'herly direction toward Belmont avenue. As stated, one block is afrready completed and another will he finished to morrow night. The curb is eet throughout the distance, the grading Is about completed and the foundation of concrete In position to Liberty avenue, on Pennsylvania avenue.

On Bushwick avenue workmen are now en gaged in grading and setting curbing. The latter work will be completed this week. Contractor Magulre, wlao has Che contract for the Pennsylvania and Bushwick avenue work, expects to have 'the work completed in another month, and before that on Glen more avenue. Mr. Maguire was seen thi6 morning and questtoned concerning the work.

He said: "The work Is proceeding nicely and I expect to have itie Work completed before that on Glenmore, and until that time there will be little use for Pennsylvania, except for local traffic. I think this work will remove the prejudice ci some people against the use of brick pavement. The work here Is of the best, the brick of an excellent quality, and they are being put down wlth every care. "We have Ave Inspectors, one tOT every bricklayer who throws out any brick that appears at all imperfect. Then 1 have a man who goes over the street after the bricks are laid and rolled" and before being cemented, and remoes every brick that shows any imperfection.

At the beginning we found quite a number of bricks thait we had to reject; something like 8,000 out of about 100,000. This of course is expected by the manufacturers. The bricks have not arrived quite as rapidly as I would like, although no delay has 'been occasioned. The bricks are manufactured, on the Hudson and are known as the Catsklll. I Wke to have all the brick on the spot when I begin work, but here It was impossible as the manufacturers are supplying Albany with and at the same time are making shipments here." Explaining how the work 'Is done, Contractor Maguire said: "The road bed is twelve inches in thickness and has a nine Inch crown.

First, a six Inch concrete Is laid, and over this sand two Inches in depth is spread. The bricks are then laid on edge. They are then thoroughly rolled with a ton steam roller, until there Is no give to them. Over this Is 8pread a coating of thin cement, which nils very crevice and joins the whole mass. This is allowed four days to harden and then the treet In ready for use.

A million and a half of brick will he used in the work. It has required about' eighty five men to grade and lay the foundation for tho brick, while but flvo men are necessary to lay the brick. "We set grade a foot below the curb. Considerable time was consumed in carting the earth removed to the New Lots road, a distance of a and a half, which was specified In the contract. About 12,000 yardJ were removed." The work cut asphalting, for which William" Kelly has the contract, from Ashford street to Alabama avenue, Is progressing rapidly now, although some delay was occasioned by eewer connections not being made promptly.

No work has been done on the block from Ashiford to Warwick street and none will be done until alter the other part ot the avenue is completed, on account of the avenue being torn up xo. put In a main. From Warwick to Vermont street the work Is completed and by another week the work will be finished, if the weather is favorable. It has been a little difficult to estafblish the grade, on account of the old curb, which was not in line. The asphalt is 'being laid over the.

granite blocks With which the avenue was paved. Over these blocks Is spread a binder of broken stone and on this Is the asphalt laid. The now paving, the to be seen in the Twonty slxth ward, attracts much attention from young and old alike. Crowds have gathered on the street and'1 watched the work proceed, while at night whole families used the street as a sort of picnic ground. All the residents along the line of the improvement are highly pleased with the work, and moro, perhaps, when they consider that no special assessment will ho made on them to pay for the work.

The largest contract of any and the one requiring the most work is In the hands of Contractor Thomas F. Byrnes. His work extends on Glenmore avenue from Alabama to Stone avenue. Eastern parkway to the Boulevard, and from Ashiford stroet to Eldert lane, whore the new avenue is really the connecting link 'between Kings and Queens counties. Tho contract for the whole amounts to $192, 000.

The work hero Is proceeding rapidly and will be completed oni time. The Una Is araded tho cunb set and the gutters paved. The ABOUT BR00KMJ PEOPLE The Rev. Dr. John Rhey Thompson, pastor of the Noutrond avenue M.

On December 16, 1895, the first station ot the Fire Insurance Salvage corps of Brooklyn was opened at 172 Pacific street, the building being an old one remodeled for the purpose. The establishment of the corps in Brooklyn was regarded as In the nature of an experiment, although In New York such an institution has been in existence for about forty years. But a few weeks only were necessary to demonstrate the efficiency of the company at station No. 1 and the fact that no mistake was made when the system of Insurance salvage was introduced in Brooklyn. The organization is composed of the insurance companies of Brooklyn and New York doing business on this side ot the river and was incorporated on June 14, 1895.

The 77 SALVAGE OORIPS STATION To be Erected on Stags Street, in the Eastern District. association is supported by an assessment on each insurance company of not than 2 per cent, of the premiums collected in Brooklyn. The present boundary of the district covered by the first station is officially given as follows: Beginning at the city line and DeKalb avenue, and extending along said avenue to Broadway, and then extending further west on DeKalb avenue to Washington avenue, and then extending southerly on "Washington, avenue to Atlantic avenue, and then extending southerly on Underhlll avenue to the Eastern parkway, and then extending westerly to Prospect park plaza, and then extending southerly on Ninth avenue to Ninth street, and then extending on Ninth street westerly to Gowanus canal, following the westerly bank of Gowanus canal to New York bay, and then following the shore line to Newtown creek to its head, and then to the city line to point of beginning, covering both sides of said streets, avenues and places above named. In this district, covering about half of the older city of twenty eight wards, the most heavily Insured properties are located and Its territory has been shown to be too large for one company to cover. To make It possible to protect this district properly a second station was decided upon and last week contracts were awarded for a new building at id totagg street, to De erected on plans drawn by Architect R.

L. Daus. This station will be known as No. 2 and will cover the eastern part of the district, which will be extended toward Greenpoint. There will be two buildings, the front for the wagons and apparatus and the men's quarters, and the rear for stables and preparation rooms.

The main or front building will have a frontacre of 25 feet and a depth of 63 feet and will be three stories In height. In tho basement will be the heating apparatus and workrooms. The first floor will contain, near tho en trance, a platform with all necessary elec trical apparatus and telephone service, bringing the 'station in direct communication with the fire department headquarters. There will be four stalls for horses and the remainder of the floor will be open for the wagons, which, like a fire engine, are in readiness for business at all times. On the second floor the captain's and lieutenant's rooms are in the front and the rear room, 44 feet long, will be the' men's dormitory, containing fifteen beds and lockers.

The third floor is divided into a sitting room for the men and a large room In the rear to be used exclusively for the hanging and preparing of covers used in protecting goods at fires. In the rear of the lot, and separated from the main buSlding, will be a two story stable, the first floor containing box stalls and the second a hay loft, and also a small isolated room, about 10 feet wide and 25 feet long, In which the largo covers used by the corps will be prepared. The material for the buildings wIHl be brick, with terra cotta trimmings. Station No. 1.

on Pacific street. Is under command of Captain John J. Cashman, who came to Brooklyn after a long servlco in tho salvage corps of Now York. His staff consists ot a lieutenant, a sergeant and seven men as a permanent force and an auxiliarly force of fifteen men, who report in details of five each night in turn. The company is In fine discipline and has been of great assistance at many fires.
