It next combined tie trolley lines in the Eastern District of Brooklyn and captured the conservative Brooklyn Olty Railroad Company with the resultant pyramiding of the Ioug Island Traction Company, the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company.

STOVER AND HIS HOLIDAY. HE Stoverian theory of a vacation seems likely to cause T & permanent and not undesirable change in the Presidency of the Park Board. A Park Commissioner who, giving no notice of his intention, re- tires to parts unknown for four weeks, leaving business to accumulate and important contracts to go unsigned, without the common courtesy of a message to indicate his whereabouts or the time of his return, is a little too “queer” for his job. Mr. Stover has never proved himself such a brilliant Park Com- gmissioner that he can afford to indulge in such eccentricities. Tar from it. Sensible folk in his own line of business have not hesitated | to call him an incompetent and an incumbrance. It ise relief to hear that a capable citizen like Michael J. Ken- as? Ryeurny nedy of Brooklyn has been appointed to do the work that Stover has pent eo much of his time neglecting. So far as the parks are con- eerned it will be no loss if Mr. Stover prolongs his vacation indefi- niltely. Eee scememeeereetel BUT IT DIDN'T SPOIL THE CHILD.
