All the recommendation of appro- priations by the court of common council were approved by the citizens in city meeting assembled and with out dissenting vote. This in view of the lively session in the open meeting of the finance committee Where cltl- zens were given opportunity to give their views on the financial affairs of the city before the committee sugges- ed recommendation for the action Of the council That large sum suggest ed for the construction of a bathing pavilion at Ocen Beech was not rec commented d the meting and there was no one there to ask the reason why The movement to get such an appropriation at this time and in the annual budget was abandoned. There may be another way at some other time to bring about the desired re- suit There is no denying the need of suitable bathtng facilities at the beach and there is no doubt but an ade- quate bathing pavilion is sure to come. If may be hastened by plan suggested by the Father of Ocean Beach" That the pavilion be erecttd bv the city at an expense of say $25, 900 and hat it be leased to private parties who will guarantee for a term of years q return in excess of the amount paid by the city for a loan of funds sufficient for the construction of the building. The lessees to main tain the building, keep it in repair, and conduct the pavilion under the direction of the park commissioners and without putting the bathing pub lie to any ircreased expense for the use of bathing houses. This project sounds good and it will receive the proper attention from the proper source a little later on.
