CITY OWNS POOL PARLOR.
Bowling Alley and Billiard Rooms to
Rent by Father Knickerb0cker.

Thomas F. Byrnes lieutenant of Senator Nc
Carren, has not been regarded exponent
of municipal ownership; yet he is making plans
for a municipal bowling alley and municipal
pool and billiard room. and has already signed
a lease on behalf of the city. for Oriental
rug emporium.
All this comes about through the fact that
the city has purchased the Montauk Theatre. in
Brooklyn. for the approach to the Manhattan
Bridge but will not be ready to tear it down
for at least two years.
incidentally, Mr.. Byrnes thinks that the city
has got ahead of the old Montauk Theatre cor
poration, because the corporation is anxious to
sell the two cores of land that remain of the
theatre site. but under the terms Of its contract
with the city the latter has the right to the
building until such time it gets ready to tear
1t down. So the purchaser OF the cores will
have to pay taxes them. but will be unable
TO them for at least two years.
Mr.. Byrnes, who. as Superintendent Of Mar
kets for the city, has charge of the leasing of
the Mcntauk property, declares that he expects
it will return interest of per cent the pur-
chase price of $500, 600 until it is torn down
Yesterday he leased the old cafe to a dealer in
Oriental rugs He is arranging to lease the
bowling alleys to the who formerly ran
them, and he is also looking for a tenant for the
pool and billiard room upstairs.
AS for the auditorium itself, Mr.. Byrnes says
that the Kings County Republican Committee is
negotiating to rent it for its county convention
1t is expected that it will be used extensively
for political gatherings this fall.
