All of which Is a part of the activities of the splendid organization known as the Safoty Institute of America. BROOKLYN NAVY YARD TO BE A MODEL ONE We who have taken so active an interest in the matter are much gratified that our Navy Yard la receiving the proper attention from our Naval Authorities. Plans are under consideration, which if consummated (and the Broadway Board of Trade may be counted upon to do all In Its power to see that they are), will make the Brooklyn Navy Yard one of the finest of kind In the world.

WORKING, HARD FOR LIBRARY Report Submitted By President N. H. Levi Contains Many Subjects of City-Wide Interest, 1 A busy season lies ahead of the Broadway Board of Judging from 'tho annual report of Its president, Xathantel H. Levi, This report was at the twentieth annual meeting i held Friday evening, 'May 2, at Hart's Gates avenue, near Broadway.

In it Mr. Levi points to a large number of Improvements to be sought, which will I bring about better conditions throughout ithe entire clt'y as well as locally. Street Commissioner of Docks. Murray Hul-land want to again rfer to the gratification. it affords me to find the great interest the Board Of Education is manifesting in what we have dwelt upon at length on several occasions, namely, to train our foreign born citizens in the United States ideals, for to my mind, our public schools can do no more beneflclent nor progressive line of work, to the end that the admirable slogan, "One Hundred Million One Hundred Per Cent Americana," become an established fact.

Hon. Arthur Somcrs, the president of the Board of Education, has stated, that the City's entire educational facilities will be utilized for. educational work, which statement finds a heaHy response from our board. Another matter Uliat- seems to me should commend itself to our Committee on Schools, namely, the fact that. Super intendent of Schools Ettlngor has directed that a complete course of first aid be added to the curriculum of our public schools.

THANKS TO MAYOR HYLAN FOR NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS. We are all under deep obligation to 1 tt I ,1 nis nunur, rijiuui, nu .1110 nilnistration, for the extensive campaign for new school buildings for this year. The program includes among others six elementary schools for Brooklyn ten for Manhattan. The only criticism wo have to offer is why Manhattan should get ten new elementary schools and Brooklyn only six, when from the school census it would appear that we need far more additional school sittings than does The war has brought to mind another educational problem, namely, the an vlsability of bringing home to the youth of today the necessity of increasing our country's productive power, for in this way only can we add to our prosperity. Another question relative to scholo matters has come to our attention, namely, whether girls should by law be required to take a courso in nursing.

This matter has been urged by a of prominent sociologists, and I will be very glad to have our Committee on Schools give some attention to this subject, in order that our board be advised what action to lake, should this law come up for discussion, for it appears that, the ideas of universal training of boys to be soldiers, and universal train' ing of girls to be nurses, are closely related to each other. LIBRARY COMMITTEE We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Henry Werner and his Committee of the 28th Ward Republican Club, and to Mr. J. J.

Chambers, the efficient president of the 28th Ward Taxpayers Association, for their valuable aid and cooperation in our efforts to secure a Car-necle Library building for Rldgewood.

A pair of cut glass candle stick-holders and a basket of artificial flowers were the prizes. The purpose of the affair was to raise a sum of money to be turned over to the fund of tho Citizens' War Relief Com mittee of the 20th A. an organiza tion In which the women of the Demo cratic Club are taking quite an active part. That a substantial amount was raised is evidenced by the fact that the attendance went beyond the 200 mark. During the evening a drive was conducted in the interest of.the Bushwick-Rldge wood Memorial parade, which resulted In donations amounting to $25.

i Grotesque and fancy costumes were the order of the evening. No end of amuse- I ment was provided until the hour of unmasking shortly before midnight, when the costume contest took place. George Trebel, James Fox and E. H. Lindsay acted as Judges.

Tbey faced a difficult task because of the variety of costumes worn, but their final selection met with unanimous approval. Another event that proved popular throughout the evening was the fortune teller booth, over which Mrs. M. Qulnn pres'ided as the palm reader. Among the guests who crossed her palm with a silver coin were Leader Delaney, Deputy Sheriff John Hirsch, Ed.

Wollmar, Frank Everts. George Kaiser. James W. Tuomey, James Fox, George Trebel, William A. Spring, Charles Hague and most of the women present.

On this, our Twentieth Annual Meet I' think jt will not be amiss for me again ran'ew pur to endeavor all times to sb guide our actions and liberations as to merit the commenda Ions of the public, which always is a lost valuable asset and necessarily adds our prestige and aids us to more ef f-ctuallyi carry into 'successful conclii' on, any problem or plan for civic bet 1-rment or improvement that may come before our boar.

You will; no doubt, re rtber the great number of letters sent the repeated calls made by your sident upon the public service coin' ssion.

w-lth a view of having this sta- put in proper shape, and the now water therein stopped, i-reventative asures as promised to our board, have prognessing so favorably, that In a ry short time, the leakage which has been reduced to about one-half gal per (day will be entirely stopped. CH 'NEEDED PLAYGROUND TOR WILLIAMSBURG NOW" ASSURED rhe "action of the Board of Estimate Apportionment In voting the funds a playground for llllamsburg on day. April 25, was ery gratifying to members, for from time to time we ve asked our authorities 6 grant a ich needed playground for the thickly tied section of the city in which this yground Is to be' located. It will be inded by Leonard. Lorimer and erum streets and Johnson avenue, and is anticipated that it win be ready for by July 1.

Ve tTlank- his Honor, Mayor Hylan. rough President Reigelmann, Comptrol- Craig, Park Commissioner John N. rmon and Justice Jacob S-.

Ferber more in to any one else is due in a large asurs the successful Conclusion of this aaure, which means so much to the ir of the section near the new play-mnd. To my mind no one in the vspaper world has done bettor work the citizens of our borough than Mr. Ferber. and the i' Broadway Board Trade will always be pleased to co-rate with him in his good work. Ve were much pleased to note that the st Office Appropriation bill carried recommendation for the Increase in rie of practically all postal service nloyees.

Dr. Brundage and your presl- have given much time and atten- to the increase In salaries of the ferring from the east side to the west side subway In, Manhattan. Our Board was hot on the path of our authorities to get this Improvement underway as soon as possible, for Brooklyn passengers were greatly inconvenienced when the subways were diverted to Lexington ave nue instead of up Broadway, but all Is well that ends well. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES TRANSIT COMMITTEE Your Committee on Transit reports because of its quite a shorten ing of the headway on the Reld avenue line and some improvement In the head way on the Broadway elevated.

STREET COMMITTEE Your Committee on Streets, under the wise direction of its chairman, Mr. John L. Kruger, has as heretofore given Its attention to the proper condition of the streets In our locality. The chairman called the attention of our authorities to the condition of the crossings at Lafay ette avenue and Sumner and Lafayette and Marry avenues Mr. Kruger requests that members should report to him any serious defects In the highways, and he promises 'that his Committee will take the matter up with our authorities at once.

The Com mlttee on Streets has asked for repairs nnd improvements on the following thoroughfares: Gates avenue, Broadway to Ridge- wood; Throop avenue, Broadway to Gates avenue; Central avenue; Suydam to fHart street; Humboldt street, near Scholes street; DeKalb avenue, Sumner to Broadway; Meserole av nue to Waterbury street.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON GUARDING OUR WATER SUPPLY AND PREVENTION OF POLLUTION OF OUR HARBORS The chairman of this important committee, C. T.

Schondolmeier, M. has as heretofore, given- Intelligent thought and attention to this important matter, and is continually on the watch for any shortcoming on this line, never failing or hesitating, to call attention to such Improvements as will conduce to a better supervision of these two Items that mean so much to the inhabitants of Our city. Our board Is especially grateful', to both Dr. Brundage and Dr. Schondelmeier for their splendid handling of health matters, in which our board has always manifested such a deep interest.

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE C. T. Schondolmeier, M. chairman of the Special Committee on the proper disposal of garbage, reports as follows: It has been demonstrated by actual operation in a numbor of comparatively large cities, that a modern scientifically constructed reduction plant can be erected near a large city, or even within city limits, and be operated continuously without producing unpleasant or deleterious odors, and apparently this method Is more economical than the Incinerator method. The committee hopes that the present plan practiced by the city of dumping garbAge into the sea with the possibility of its returning again to the recreation beaches of Long Island, will, If found objectionable, be discontinued.

Dr. Schondelmeier reports further In behalf of his committee, the Imperative need of a comfort station to be located in the vicinity -of Broadway and Gates avenue. Thei nearest Comfort Station to this point is about one half mile away. I trust this Special committee will co-operate with our Committee on Health and keep after our authorities until this much needed Improvement becomes an established SCHOOL COMMITTEE I would be pleased to havo our Conv rriittce on Schools make a- strong presen tation to the Board of Estimate and Ap of technical training for our boys who show an aptitude for this kind of work, nnd if this appropriation is not -made. the 300 boys who have prepared for thei course and have counted upon the Board! of Education to enable them to continue until they have completed it.
