damus tho beach officials to compel them to
permit his family to battle there as usual.
President Foster Of the Beach Company snys
he thinks tho beach company are competent.
and should be allowed to manage their prop
erty to suit themselves. The action against
tho Hunnerbein family. he says. was not occa-
stoned by any personal hostility or dislike.
They are eminently respectable people, he
says. but very hard to please. and the beach
officials finally came to tho conclusion that
the best way out OF the difficulty. and to
avoid further trouble. the Hunnerboin family
should find some other place to bathe.
The order was not issued out OF any disre-
spect to Mr.. -Hunnerbefn or his family. In
conclusion. Mr.. Foster asserted that politeness
was one OF. the first duties required OF the
beach. employees. and he did not think Mr..
Deutchman had been discourteousto the Hun
nerbein family.
