House on Hudson.
MAX ASK INJUNCTION
If 1T IS REFUSED
Takes Issue with the Commits
siOner as to HealthfulneSS
of River Water.

Philip f. Donohue, treasurer of Tam
many Hall and owner Of a bathing
establishment on the Hudson River at
155th street, has applied to the Board
OF Health for a permit to operate the
bath this summer despite the an
nouncement by DR.. S. S. Goldwater, the
Health Commissioner, that sewage
made it necessary to prohibit bathing
about Manhattan Island.
The Tammany treasurer left no doubt
Yesterday as to what procedure he
would take if his permit was held up.
I'm that event" he said, II would
have something against the city, don't
you think? / have asked for permit
every year. Ny lease has five or six

This lease of Donohues has doomed

ministration of Ernst j. Lederle, prede-
cessor of DR.. Godwater, il caused en-
barrassment, but Donohue maintained
his place.
At the Department of Health it was
said yesterday that Donohue's appli-
cation would probably be acted on at
the next meeting of the board, but DR..
Goldwater had no intention Of receding
from his stand. Donohue thought the
health authorities should act. He
added: "Tf it's got to go to court, then
the sooner the better" Donohue inti-
mated that he might seek an injunc-
ton, but until the Board Of Health
passed on his application he did not
care to say what he would do.
"In the last Ave years" he declared
"a million people have bathed at my
bathing place. You can't trace any
