T. Must Fix Palmetto St. Ridgewood Resident! Who Call on Connolly Get Encouraging Newt. Long Island City, May 23 Property owners from the Ridgewood section were given considerable encouragement yesterday when a delegation called upon Borough President Connolly to learn of the progress being made for the improvement of Palmetto street. This is the street over which the B.

R. T. Company has a right of way, where the elevated line has been erected and where a trolley line is being operated on the surface. "A report has been prepared by a rpeciai committee consisting of Chief Engineer Lewis, of the Board of Estimate; Consulting Engineer Moore, of this borough, and Engineer Selmar. of the Publio Service Commission, on this improvement," said President Connolly.

"This report will be presented to the Board of Estlhmte at its 'next meeting. The report in substance is that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company be compelled to give to the city a right of way across its property at all the intersecting streets; that the company be directed to grade its property so as to bring it at the Intersecting streets to the proper grade of the side streets, and that all this be done at the expense of the will be- a publio hearing before the Publio Service Commission ASSEMBLYMEN fvi vn 11 llaim 1 bey Will tied Sixteen to Lower House. Believe They Have Good Chance in New Districts. Brooklyn will elect sixteen Demo-' cratlc Assemblymen and seven Republicans In normal years hereafter, If th claims of the Democratic leaders me.de to-day prove to be well founded. Th leaders are well pleased with their work in carving the new Senate districts into Assembly districts, and declared, that every possible advantage has been taken in arranging the lines to give Democratic districts.

Republican County Leader Jacob B. Livingston would make no comment to-day on the claims of his opponents, saying that he would have to study the new lines first. When the Legislature adopted the Senate district lines proposed by the Republican leaders a few weeks, the county leader declared himself confident that the Democrats would not be able to lay out more than seven districts that would send Democratic Assemblymen to Albany. According to the Democratic leaders, the two Assembly districts in the Fourth Senate District, in Greenpoint. i will be Democratic.

This is conceded by the Republicans. The Fifth Senate District, in the Bushwick-East New York section, is claimed by the Democrats two to one. They expect to carry William F. Delaney's and James 1'. Sinnott's districts, and to lose the new district, of which Herman II.

Torborg is to be the new leader. The Republicans laugh at this claim, declaring that except in the most unfavorable years the Republican candidates will carry all three. The Sixth Senate District, the large area skirting the ocean, is another for which the Democrats claim a clean sweep and the Republicans scoff at the claim. The Democratic leaders are to be Thomas F. Wogan, Charles R.

Ward and probably Joseph Fennelly. The Republican leaders are to be Charles S. Warbasse, probably Frederick Opplkofer and Marcus B. Campbell. The Senate district was laid out to be Democratic by a very small margin, and the Republicans say they will always be able to carry at least one of the three Assembly districts and perhaps all three.

The South Brooklyn Senate district the Seventh, is claimed by the Demo-" crats to give three votes for their party in the Assembly. This is conceded by the Republican under ordinary conditions. The eighth, whlcli continues along the river front north, of the other, runnlnc as far as Bush wick Creek, is also claimed as aolldlv Democratic. It takes in the Republican section on the Heights, however, and the Republicans expect a fighting chance in that district. The Ninth Senate District, in th centre of the borough, is expected by the Democrats to give them one Assemblyman in Thomas R.

Farrell's district. Thomas F. Byrnes and Timothy E. Griffin have consented to take extra Republican territory in order to give Farrell a chance to elect a Democratic Assemblyman. Republicans today point out that his old district was Democratic, as shown by the enrollment figures, but always proved to be a Republican district on Election Day, and they predicted that this would continue to be the case.

The Tenth Senate District, which lies along the Southeast side of Broadway, is figured by the Democrats 8 capable of electing one Assemblyman of their party, in James M. Power's district. The Thompson and Sexton districts are conceded to the Republicans. The latter claim all Democratic County Leader Mc-Cooey thinks he has carved out a Democratic district for himself In the Eleventh Senate Distrnct. The Republicans doubt it.

The Swasey-Hanson district and the Kracke-Hes-terberg district, which complete the Senate district, will be heavily Republican. POLICE CHIEF IN FIRE. He and Detective Overcome Prisoners In Panic. Camden. N.
