Condemned Buildings Interfere with Land Span Building. Sonth Fifth Street Improved City Haa Palled to Dispose of Ob-etrnctlng Houses.

A new South Fifth street has been created since the old thoroughfare was wiped ont to make way for the big Williamsburg bridge. For nearly two weeks a large foree of men baa been laying ont the wide thoroughfare to the north of the steel work, and at tbh present time the street needs paving. The street is nearly fifty feet wide, and the curbing haa been set to Bedford avenue. The street baa been graded, and thi old sewer basins have been replaced by new ones on the new street. To the south of the steel structure laborers are plso grading a new street When this work is completed Sonth Fifth street will be extended to Driggs avenue, where that thoroughfare is at present being depressed for four feet Thl work Is being rapidly pushed forward and within a week will see that, thoroughfare in better order than it is at tbe present time.

The iron and steel work of the Pennsylvania Steel Company has been carried to the end of the structur.and now tbe smaller girdle and upright are being set In place. Unless the municipal authorities act on the additional buildings that will have to be torn down to continue the bridge work, operations, may be seriously interfered With. Tbe iron work has been placed to within a few feet of the dwellings wbich still remain. It was due to tbe fine weather for several weeks which made it possible for the large amount of work which has been done. The same ran be said of tb cable work of the Roebling Sons Company.

Tbe hundreds of people who gather every dnjat different points watching tbe construction of the bridge have been surprised at tbe remarkable progress achieved by the various contractors, The Manhattan side presents a forlorn appearance as against the work accomplished on tbe Williamsburg side.

PLAN IS NEW IN BROOKLYN. 4. Vaccinators Alont to Decide Wketker or Not Children Ongkt to Bum. mit to Revnecinntion. Vaccinators have been particularly Busy in Brooklyn school of late, and the demand fhat cbildreu and teachers display either a certificate of recent vaccination or fresh scars of tbe operation has caused considerable complaint.

People ask why vaccination may be recent when, according to some authorities, the effects last from ten to fifteen years, and where the vaccinators get their authority for going through a school and demanding that children, by the hundreds submit to the operation on pain of exclusion. Dr. F. A. Jewett, chief of the Contagious Diseases Bureau, undertook this morning to answer these questions.

The recent activity of vaccinators in the public sthooU, he said, ia due to tbe fact that the rulei of the Board of Education have recently been changed. When the Brooklyn Board of Education waa independent, it refused to permit an examination of the school children or to compel them to accept vaccination. On the other hand, Manhattan has had such a rule for more than twenty years. Aa a result, Manhattan school children have been quite clear of smallpox. They havent had -f case among the school children in twenty years, while last year alone, in the Brooklyn schools, there were twenty-two case.

Soon after the old Brooklyn Board of Education went out and our schools came under th government of the Central Board, we were notified of the following rule: No pupil will be allowed to attend any public school nor shall any teacher be employed in said school unless such pupil or teacher be vaccinated: Every principal of a pnblic school shall require certificate of a physician in good standing as 'evidence of such vaccination, as a requisite of admission as a pupil or for continuanc in school. Ha shall enter in a register of the school the dates as near as possible of the respective vaccinations of pupils or teachers and be shall co-operate with such agents of the Board of Health as may be authorised to visit his school for the purpose of examining and vaccinating pupils and shall require a revaccination of all pnpila and teachers ascertained not to be fully protected. No pupil refusing to be vaccinated shall be permitted to attend a public school until such requirement haa been complied with. Dr. Jewetts attention' waa called to the fact that are complaints to the effect' that, children who have been one, two or three years ago are now being compelled to undergo th operation again.

He said: Its just this way: Vaccination ia uncertain. It may ran ont in two years or it may last ten or fifteen years. The safe thing is to be vaccinated often. I get vaccinated about every year. The operation is a mere scratch and gives no inconvenience nnless it takes.

If it tikes that is a sign that yonr system was in a condition to receive smallpox and yon needed the protection. During the prevalence of smallpox it is a good thing for everybody to be vaccinated every year the raecinator alone mnst decide whether or not the vaccination ia recent enough. Our vaccinators go to the schools and give the teachers papers to fill ont with vaccination statistic of the clnsses.Thel teachers demand either the certificate of recent vaccination from the pupil or elsa that on the day fixed for the vaccinator examining tbe school tbe pupils shall come prepared to show their most recent vaccinations. They are excluded tf they fall to comply with the rale. What Is there In the claim that vaccination often, by means of Impure virus, innoeniates people with various deadly diseases that they wonld not -otherwise have Rot.

Ia the recent. Camden vaccination-tetanus (lockjaw) eases, it was proven that the tetanns rame from neglect or ini-proper care which exposed the sores to dirt. The Camden virus was pare. In another ease where tetanus followed vaccination it was found that the mother had been in the habit of washing the child's arm in rainwater which, when examined by the physician In attendance, proved to be very foul and full of disease germs. Where ordinary precautions are taken no ill effects follow vaccination.

All the vims nsed in the city come from the Board of Health laboratory, in East Sixteenth street, and is absolutely pure. The smallpox which we have with ns now is of a much milder type than it used to be, probably due to the effect of vaccination. Smallpox is going through a process of evolution, and seem to be dying out." "How ran any one distinguish smallpox from measles In Its earlier stages? That cant be dona with any sureness. It especially resemble ehickenpox "Have many children been excluded from the schools on account of the new rale? No: very few. We bar had little complaint.

When will yon finish this work in th schools?" In abont month. It la almost done now. GOLDSTEIN ACCUSED. Charged ky His Uncle witk Rokbing His Safe.
