The committee, however, had not been public spirited enough to recommend the immediate ap- | Propriation. Agents acting for bath |house owners on Coney Island and other allied interests urged against such recommendation and lobbfed against the resolution. Their appeals for some reason had more welght with certain members of the board than the demand of all the People of New York City that the Coney Island free bath be opened at once. Tho feeling against one member of the board who voted against the orig- inal appropriation to build the bath house was shown in the last primary fight in the Fifth Assembly District, of which Charles Culkin 1s leader, when Alderman Joseph Hannon was hooted when making a speech. Later he came within an ace of being mobbed. It de- veloped that the anger of the people was prompted solely by the action of the Alderman in voting against the ap- ation needed to begin the building the public free use of the Coney Island Municipal Bathhouse, long advocated by vening World ‘The clique of Aldermen and politictan who are anxious to prevent the bath house from being opened this summer are resorting > all sorts of pretexts Alderman — Alexan¢ 8 Drescher, champion of the project, made the open charge in discussing the question with the board that this political clique had arranged to send 150 negroes to use the bathhouse on the opening day. “Their fdea,” said Alderman Drescher, addressing President Mitchel, who was presiding in the absence of the Mayor, “is to discourage people from using the bath, My Information as to this Importation of colored people comes from a reliable source, and if necessary I can substantiate the statement I hav« Just made.” The Alderman added that the resolu tion under consideration was Introd. ath house. in the Board of Aldermen, not se] DIDN'T PROFIT BY LESSON the City Fathers interested were friends GIVEN TO HANNON, of the poor people, ‘but simply to fur-] nie Alderman Hannon saw the nish another pretext to delay the open-| handwriting on the wall and at Tues- ing of the bathhouse.

I am quite sure though that the remuneration which his hard-workea clerk receives will not permit him the luxury of a room in a private bathing house. He will be glad to take advantage of the nominal charge of the municipal bathhouse.” Comptroller Prendergast agreed with Alderman Drescher. He said that when the project was originally considered by the Board the understanding was that a nominal fee was to be charged.
