PROTEST ORDER AGAINST
 BATHING SUIT PROMEN

An order passed by the New London city council prohibiting promenading in bathing costumes in the business section of the beach has stirred merchants and cottagers there to protest and demand that the order be repealed.
 The protest from the merchants prom ises to take an appeal to the supreme court upon the first arrest for violation of the councils new order.
 The petition and protest from the mer- chants was in part as follows:
 'eWe, the undersigned merchants con demn the ordinance as unjust-due to the fact that the. merchants are depend ent upon the bathers for their patronage and that a great loss will be brought to each merchant on account of this unjust ordinance.
 Ocean Beach is known as a bathing resort, and not an amusement place. If that one and only privilege is taken away from Ocean Beach merchants, then the council may as well hang crepe on the word Ocean Beach.
 Have the worthy gentlemen and one woman of the council taken into consid- eration that bathers are human, and while in bathing get a trifie hungry, or thirsty, but their only salvation is. to drink ocean water or eat the sands of
  not leave the beach to buy a sandwich, frankfurer or a drink
 Did the gentlemen of the council and the one lady consider that the merchants (nainly sandwich, frankfurter and drink sellers) are helping to enrich the pockets of New London. some of which goes to the council and city manager 2''
 But the most important is taking away the rightful privilege of the mass es"
 A second protest signed by cottage owners and residents is as follows:
 'fWe the following cottage owners and taxpayers condemn the ordinance as un- just and we demand the privilege of go- ing to the beach and to our homes in our bathing suits and further demand that we be entitled to do our necessary shopping in our bathing suits.
 We further demand that the city man. ager call a special meeting of the city council at once for the repeal of this ordinance.
 Louis Markow who headed the cottag- CTS petition interviewed City Manager Barlow Thursday morning and it was l pointed out to him that the ordinance i does not prevent bathers from going to a store or to and from their cottages clad in bathing suits.
 The only thing it does prevent is 'loit. ering'' in the streets or stores in bathing suits. MT. Markow was satisfied with the l explanation and agreed that this is not objectionable and he therefore drop. ped his intention to pursue the matter any further.
