That was shown yesterday when 4,000 people bathed oft the island shores. "I understood that city officials would like to have Independence Island made a municipal resort. I have been approached unofficially a number of times, but have never received any offer.

I can't say whether the city will get a chance to get the island should the New York people buy. I have other business to look after and when my price is met I am rpady to sell. I think the deal will be closed some time to day." Urge Action A city wide demand is being heard for tha acquisition of Independence Island as a municipal beach before it with a view to profit.

Continued From First Page Commenting on the Police Depart ment's failure to strictly enforce the Jitney ordinance during the first few weeks of the trolleymen's strike, City Solicitor Seltz said: "The authorities very improvldently ana, or course, illegally, neglected to enlorce the ordinance." Mr. Seitz added that'some 800 jitneys ffom Harrisburg and the neighboring towfls. flooded the city and conducted business without a license and illegally, to the manifest and actual menace to the people and the city.

"They tell you that the jitney operators are competent men, but there is abundant evidence to the contrary," said Mr. Seitz. The solicitor then declared that some of the unlicensed jit neurs who came here, unacquainted is. developed by some outside capital I he. city, hauled people four and opinion to day seems to be that it is up to Council to get busy before it is too Great Crowds in River The largest crowd of the season yes terday'took advantage of the breezes and bathing at Independence Island and at other points along the shores of the islands in the river.

While many, were out in the morning, th beaches along the islands opposite th city after 2 o'clock yesterday after noon resembled those at the seashore on a busy Sunday The West Shore banks were crowd ed, too, and all former records for bathing smashed. Canoes and rowboats plied up and down the river all 'day long. Several officers were at Independ ence Island to maintain order. Yesterday, while not a very h6t day, showed a temperature of. 89 degrees, The lowest reached was '79 degrees.

Delightful, breezes were in evidence and made the day an ideal one for five blocks, collected the fare and then compelled tne passengers to get out. "And in some instances the passengers then were farther away from their destinations than they were when they started," commented Mr. Seitz.

He came here from Annville, a distance of 21 After a conference to day with James, secretary of the William Penn Highway Association, the good roads pedestrian with the local official visited the Capitol. No lecture was given In Harrisburg. Mr. Brien talks to farmers en route ordinance is constitutional.

And that question, he said. Is based upon the question of whether or not the city Improvldently went beyond Its authority when it distinguished Jitneys from other "cars for hire" and when it required the Jitneurs to furnish a $2,000 bond in addition to paying a license tax. The lawyer suggested thta the of 1915, which delegates authority to cities to regulate jitney traffic, is silent on the question of the bond and provides merely that the city may lay a license tax. One' other reason why; the Jitneurs think the ordinance is illegal, void adn discriminative is because the city not only puts the jitneys into one class, but also charges a higher rate of license than is collected from other "cars for hire." Attorneys do rot anticipate that the court will decide the matter finally to morrow. However, the attorneys will argue the legal phases of the Issue to morrow and later will file their bripfa tn stinnnrt thplr rnntpn Then will come the decision.

Neither do attorneys believethat the court will restrain the city. temporarily from enforcing the jitney ordinace. while the matter was being heard this morning J. J. Thorpe, organizer of the trolleysmen's union, and half a dozen striking trolleymen were in court.
