Alderman Rudolph Hannoch, of the
Bronx, whose amendment to the
ordinances requiring bath house own
ers to pay a license fee of $25 and file
a bond of $500 was signed by Mayor
Hylan a few days ago, says he has
learned of a proposed campaign of re-
prisal by the bath house owners.
Mr.. Hannoch wrote letter to Mayor
Hylan yesterday saying that an attempt
will be made to nullify his amendment
Higher prices and a discrimination
against users of private bathing
suits have been decided upon by
the bath house owners, the Alderman
declares. He asserts that owners of
private suits will be charged for a pub
lie suit whether it is used or not.
Alderman Hannoch also declared that
bath house owners intend to charge
for rooms on basis of two in a room,
even when the room is occupied by only
one bather. He suggests that the
Mayor instruct the Commissioner of
Licenses to use his discretion in the
matter of issuing permits and urge the
district attorneys of the various coun-
ties in New York City to investigate the
alleged conspiracy.
