for $4,000 Mr.. Hasseiman says:
THE association most earnestly urges
the passage of the bill. as a good bathing
beach is very much headed In this city. The
present one. while a much appreciated In
stitution, is, nevertheless, on account Of the
tide and the danger of getting into deep
water unknowingly, not nearly SO safe or
desirable as the one proposed by the bill
would be. The expense Of maintaining the
proposed beach, If constructed, would be
much less than at the present location, for
the reason that there would be very little
damage to the beach, wilaFves and appli-
ances in the inner basin on account OF the
tide, the winds and the rise and fall OF the
ice, with the action of the ice in winter
time, which cause So much injury at the
present place. The cost of,fepairs would be
reduced to making good the damage occa-
stoned only by the natural wear and decay
Of the materials used: and, on account Of
the greater safety, the services of several
of the life guards could be done away with.
resulting in a saving of $40 per month for
each guard dispensed with
The amount saved for repairs under the
system proposed, the report says. would
repay the original cost Of construction.
Accompanying the letter are numerous
petitions for the passage of the bill signed
by hundreds of the patrons of the beach.
