TALK OF WATER GRAB.

A public hearing was accorded by tho
Aldermanic Committee on Parks to-day
on the proposition to construct a Ave
mile board walk at Coney Island. Two
plans were presented-one to build a
walk out In the ocean 80 feet from the
high water mark. the other to erect A
pier on the upland or directly over the
beach proper. Both plans had their
supporters.
As against the plan 20 build $50 feet
out in the ocean IL was urged that II
was a private plan which. " carried
out, would prevent communication with
tho walk except at terminal points. and
would prevent for all time the legai
OPENING Of intersecting streets down to
tie ocean front. For lack OF these
street openings Coney Island II suffer-
Ing now. and will suffer more II the
acknowledgement plan IS decided upon,
speakers said.
In utging the building OF a board walk
on the upland these speakers declared
that intersecting streets would he
opened, amusement places would be en-
abled to connect directly with the pro-
posed walk and every street running TO
the ocean would be a point OF accessl-
blnty 10 the walk.
Riparian Rights Not Affected.
However, the supporters OF the go
foot distant plan argued that state
riparian rights permitted all property
owners. willing. to build out to the side
walk. that intersecting streets would
he opened, that "a finer beach would not
only prevail. but by reason OF the outer
bulwark, the beach would be preserved
against the violence Of ocean storms.
The promoters OF the 3j0-foot plan,
who comprise Desmond Dunno. Louis
stauch and other prominent holders OF
Coney Island ocean front property,
agree to deed their proposed board walk
to the city IL privilege to build Is al
forded.
Chairman Drescher wanted to know
in what manner the promoters would
be benefited II they gave the walk TO the
city. lie was informed that the pro-
mo,ers were 'philanthropists" In n
sense.
Attemrt at Grat Charged.
In advocacy OF the upland board
walk plan, speakers were presented by
the West End improvement League Of
Coney Island. which Is urging ~ as IA
city enterprise. John q. Hart attacked
the 3~J0-foot plan. saying that but a
comparatively few property owners
would build mi to the distant walk
and those who did build would control
the only avenues capable OF reaching
the walk.
Mir. Hart characterized the 35O-foot
plan az a water grab, and charged that
Ave men in the private scheme haC con-
tr.butcd money tn put through Il favor

rights.
George c. Tilyou spoke In favor OF the
35o-foot board walk. saying that the
many would he benefited by that plan.
