PLANNING A new AND
GREATER COMFY ISLAND
iBy United Prassl

New York, Dec. 2.-Coney Island
aims to surpass Atlantic City as
great all-year-round resort. 4
The great boardwalk which has
been under construction for over q
year will be completed early in 1923.
The concrete work has been practi-
cally completed. 49,, a!lszxs.
With the opening Of the boardwalk
through the entire length, millions
will probably be expended for. new
buildings and the resort will be vast
ly altered. .. 49,. r. ~. ~. X.
Coney suffered under prohibition
probably m1re severity than almost
any other resort along the coast. This
was due 20 the fact that large part
of it's patronage was drawn from the
element that demanded beer and
wine for its merrymaking. Knowing
that, enforcement officials paid spe-
cial attention to the resort and even
hippockets lacked protection. IT,.
The aim CT the organizations now
taking UP the banner of greater
Coney Island plan developments
which will attract a higher class of
patrons and say they are willing to
spent the money to build more
substantial and enduring resort.

DOUBTFUL
Five Doubtful Votes to Sway
Bill to Passage or Defeat,
Poll of Senate Shows

sidy bill in the senate hangs in the
balance with five votes, likely to
prove the determining factor, doubt
full.
Administration republicans sent
to the senate from the farming dis
tricts of the middle west can sway
the bill to passage or defeat as soon
as they make up their minds how they
are going to vote.
This was revealed in poll Of the
upper house of congress conducted
by the United Press today, in which
the entire democratic side of the
chamber with the exception of Sen.
ators, Ramsdell and Broussard OF
Louisiana against the measure
This means 81 sure votes. It will
require 40 votes to defeat the sub
sidy. -. Il. ,.-.
If all the senators vote, the re.
naming IS votes against the bill
must come from the republicans, if
it is beaten. The progressive re-
publicans who are lined up against
the measure include Senators Borah,
Brookhart, Capper, Gooding, Ladd,
Lafoilette, Lenroot, McNary, Nor
beck and Norris. This brings the
total of practically sure votes against
the measure to Al. Five more votes
are required.
These five votes must come from
the remaining progressive senators
France of Maryland, and Couzens
of Michigan, and from the repu5!i.
cans of the middle west farming
