FINE THEIR USE TO WOMEN
AND CHILDREN

President George C. CIausen of the Park
Board early this morning at the Plaza Hotel
gave out the following statement announcing
that ne would revoke the spate pay chair per-
nit:
When I granted the privilege OF renting
chairs it was the distinct understanding that
the matter was entirely experimental and might
be discontinued at any time. When the privilege
was granted was firmly Of the opinion. as L
am now, that the system would be for the public
good and especially for the benefit of women
and children whose means would not permit
them 10 leave the city during the summer. but
who were anxious to use the benefits of the
public parks
THE Park Department Is in receipt of hun
dreds of letters from ladies and gentlernen COM
mending it for inaugurating the system of paid
chairs, but the great public Of New-Yorl so far
as may be picked from the majority of great
innovation, and much as I believe in it and still
believe in it. hold it TO be the first duty Of a
public servant to bow to the public will
Above all things, am of the mind that right
or wrong, nothing should be done TO endanger
the public peace. and. Of course it is needless
to say that public property must be maintained
for the use and enjoyment of all the people, in
the parks elsewhere.
Further than this. il is obvious that such
riotous scenes have been witnessed recently
in Madison Square Park. no natter how pro-
duced. must be stopped at any cost
I'm this view without referring. as might TO
the influential movement which has been ma
liciously and covertly directed against fair
trial of the plan of pay chairs. it only remains
for me TO revoke the privilege of renting chairs
in the parks. which shall be done. And. for the
benefit of the public, propose to purchase the
chairs placed in the parks and to present
them to the city. and confne their to women
