But once let the suggestion be made of the city's needs for beaah property, then these same members of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment begin to talk glibly of more subways and more schools. The Evening World be- Heves that there should be more sub: ways and more schools, but it also be: Heves that the creation of seashore breathing places is of far more tm- portance when a desirable strip five blocks long at Coney Island—the sec- tlon cleared last week by fire—can be obtained for less than what the Board of Estimate has already provided in the interest of the riding and driving por- tion of the population of the greater city. “I am very giad to see that The Evening World has taken up the im- portant question of the city's acquiring more beach property,” said forme Mayor Low to an Evening World_re-| porter who talked with him at hie| country place, Bedford Hills, in West- County. foes without saying that a city so populous as Mew York, lo- cated near the ocean, ought to be able to avail of the seashore very freely, {f the people are to get the full beneft of the city’s looatt he added. “I thought Seaside Park & gerat benefit to the whole city, and I would be very giad to see it carried forward so far as circum- stances will permit. Indeed, it would be vury wise at this time for the city to develop the project fur- ther, as suggested by The Evening ‘World. | CANON CHASE APPROVES THE! EVENING WORLD’S PROPOSAL. | “T am heartily in favor of the project volced tn the columns of The Evening World,” said the Rev. Willlam Sheafe| Chase, rector of Christ Protestant Epis- copal Church in Williamsburg, best known to the public as Canon Chase of | Brooklyn, to an Evening World re- porter, “Let us recapture the beaches for the people, It is a grand work, Speaking for the clergy, I know of no better way to lift the tone of Coney Island thap by the city's acquiring more of the beach front, and the resent fire seems to have opened the door of op- portunity. “I support the enlargement of Seaside Park from two points of view, elther of which {s suMciently strong to commend the proposition, The first naturally (s the {immediate benefit to the people from the enlarged facilities for bathing and fresh air.

CONEY ISLAND THE PEOPLE’S PLAYGROUND. “Now the first move in that direction | Would be to extend the city's property | in Coney Island, provide greater oppor- tunities for free public bathing and pos- sibly room for athletic spprts. Why not? | Coney Island 1s the people's playground. It Is the nearest ocean beach to the| thickly settled parts of the Greater | In the past the sordid business in-| terests have always got in the way of this reaching out in the right direction. The people have always had an unselfish advocate in such a newspaper as The Evening World. Do not let your efforts lag. More beach front at Coney Island for the people will do as much in a moral way for that section as electric lights did to improve the moral tone of the Bowery. Keep up the great fight, Tam with your this project heart and newspaper soul.’ “Workingmen look upon the fight be- Ing made by The Evening World for more ocean beaches with the keenest | interes! sald Timothy Healy, the labor | leader, who is President of the Inter- national Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen, and an active spirit in the Civic Federation. “Breathing places for those who cannot afford to take @ vaca- tion during the hot Summer months mean a great deal to them.

LABOR '8 HEARTILY IN , OF THE PLAN, “With a splendid beach at Coney Isl- and inside the city’s limits, and a five cent fare when the new subways are completed, it seems to me that the 'n FAVOR proper thing for the city to do is to fol- low the suggestion of The Evening World and acquire the burned area of recent fire. ‘There is not @ labor organization but | will support The Evening World in its lefforta to reclaim the beach for the people at Coney Island. Why, hundreds of people who go down to the is never know there is an ocean the s they can submit to an exorbi for a bathing suit made upon holidays they have no chance to get into the water. I have known $1 being asked for the rent of a single sult. Within u few weeks the city’s municipal baths will be in operation, and there should be ample beach provided for the bathe: If the strip along the ocean front bought by the city through condemna- tion proceedings this want would be filled. “There is not a city in the world but |has made substantial reservations along \its water front in the Interest of the whole public. New York City appears to be the exception. It !s most amazing to |me why the public authorities of this city have let chance after chance get by to secure beach property at Coney Ial- and. It looks to me if there was a well regulated lobby in operation con- tinuously against the city's increasing its beach front im that locality. High time something 4s done. The recent fire neems to have opened a road. “The Evening World should be sup- ported in its efforts to bring about the enlargement of Seaside Park which is far too small to be considered seriously as an ocean park. ———— FATHER SEEKS AID FOR HIS SICKLY MOTHERLESS BABY.
