As early as 8 o'clock in the morning a line half a mile long had formed on the men’s side, and until late in the afternoon patient crowds waited their turn at the women’s quarters. The healthful habit of sea bathing among New Yorkers is grow- ing amazingly. Five hundred thousand bathers will have used the city baths at Coney this season, twice the record of last year. The present Municipal Bath House, which this paper fought hard to secure, will accommodate ten thousand bathers a day. Fifty thousand might have the same benefits if the baths were enlarged and proper restric- tions as to time enforced. Since private interests have fenced off the beach and turned the ocean into a series of side shows where the rule is pay as you enter, a @p at Coney for those who cannot get into the city establishment costs as much as a Turkigh bath with all the trimmings. Why need ees bathing at New York’s finest beach become a luxury when the ety can easily provide more accommodations for everybody? This week the Board of Estimate is to consider the cost of en- larging the present building. What reason can be. advanced for be- grudging the city’s money to better an institution which has proved that it can pay its way, benefit the taxpayers, and earn untold divi- @ends of health and happiness? Save the joys of the surf at Coney to the people who most deserve them, Make the City Bath House ig enough for all. - a ae — two freight trains and a passenger train piled together on the Brie.

Y GOING info the asphalt business on its own account the B city expects to eave $375,000 a year on the job of repairing some five hundréd thousend square yards of pavement. The new plant is to be built on unused city land along the East River, be- tween Ninetieth and Ninety-first streets. A shrewd eye to the quality of asphalt that goes into the streets thould not only save the city money but also raise its standing in ® class where it has long legged near the foot. Last year the Mayor's Committee on Pavements declared that “there is no city on earth which stands in greater need of good pavements than Manhattan,” and it found the chief reason in “the lack of knowledge among our engineers of the most approved modern methods of paving es carried on in places outside the United States.” Mightn’t it be a etil! further saving to the city to establish in connection with the new plant an asphalt laboratory with a few intel- ligent travelling agents’ Set ‘The Davis International Lawn Tennis Cup, which comes back from England after ten years \n the satchel of our brilliant young player, McLoughlin, will look nicely alongside the Polo Cup.

NCOURAGE skyscrapers and towers in this town so long as E light and air space around them are proportionately increased, is the counsel cf one of the advising architects of Borough President McAneny’s commission on regulating the height of build- ings. This suggests an interesting development of municipal ground plan which Manhattan may some day be sorry it did not fall in with earlier. “One of the glories of New York,” says the architect, “is its towers. One of its shames is that they are built so close together as to cut off necessary ight.” Last winter when we hoped the Equitable site might be saved for a perk, an idea which the powers of greed promptly sat upon,.a prophecy was ventured in this column that the business district of the future will be a checker-board of towering, monumental skyscrapers with broad squares of grcen grass and flowers between, Some day imagination will climb higher than the pocket.
