said that the investigators had obviously mace
few mistakes in the premises on whch lhe co"

Henry Smith, Park Commissioner for Manhattan

for the convenience Of the public He believed
the private clubs should be ousted and that boat
houses and yacht clubs should be open TO all.

the letter says:
In the parks Of Manhattan and Richmond we find
