Introduced first In the Assembly by Mr. Remsen and then In the Senate by Mr, Marshall, was up before the Senate Cities Committee yesterday afternoon. There appeared In opposition to tt representatives of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, the Brooklyn Children's Aid Society, the Brooklyn League and As- slstant Corporation Counsel Butts, for the city.

The only person who spoke In favor of the measure was Charles S. Voorhees, an engineer, who last year was one of the promoters of the Coney i island Park blit. The first speaker was Frank Tucker, representing the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor. He declared that the bill so drawn as to compel the city to pay for the encroachment of the ocean, al the building of bulkheads and jetties for the protection of private property from continued the speaker, there was no ne cesslty for the proposed walk, and that the beach was all that was needed. In conclusion, Mr.

Tucker said the city owned land adjoining the beach that could be used for recreation purposes. INJURE HEALTH OF CHILDREN. Francis representing the Brooklyn Children's Aid Society, thought, that the, measure might more properly 1 one for the extension of the Bowery. Not only would the proposed walk. If constructed, obstruct the ocean view and breexes, but would work great Injury to thousands of children who are taken to the Island daily In the summer season.

Tho appended letter In opposl-'tlon to the bill from (he president and 4 secretary of the society was submitted by Mr. White: Biooklyn, Feb. 25. 1901. To the Honorable, the Committee on Cities of the Senate, Albany, N.

Y. Gentlemen: On behalf of tht Brooklyn Childrens Aid Society we respectfully re- quest your disapproval of Senate Bill No. 143, providing for the construction of a boardwalk, et cetera, at Coney Island. The Brooklyn Childrens Aid Society is the ow ncr of three hundred feet of frontage on the ocean in the district through which the pioposed walk would pass, this being the property occupied by the Seaside Home of this society for Its summer work for the benefit of poor sick children. Among the many objections which might be urged to the proposed bill we specify some relating to the work of the society and some of the general natute.

First. Any such construction between the Seaside Home building and tho beach 'must necessarily obstruct not only the view, but the free neiees of the sea breeze to the Home, to the prejudice of the recovery of children suffering from dlar- -rhoeal diseases, to whom the Home min- Is'ers In large numbers, as shown ex- i JUDGE BRENNER ARGUES FOR ONE OF DE GRAWS BILLS.

The DcGravv bill, permitting property owners whose lands are condemned for the new East River bridges approaches to recover the costs of the proceedings, and permitting the allowance by the CourtB of an additional sum not exceeding five per cent, of the amount awarded, was given a nearing yesterday by the Senate Cities Commit- a right to every property owner to build piir of the sort described whether ho Owns the land under' water or not? However, this may be, It Is evident that there le no restriction on the, width of the pier or the manner of Its construction; it In expressly provided that It be. built across the otherwise open etrip tt 11 feet width. So ss to connect wfith the board walk, and there Is nothing In the bill to prevent the pier from pxtendlnl the whole width of, each lot or from so Constructing It as to absolutely, Obstruct passage along the -Page line 0. The Commissioners are given unrestricted discretion to determine the district of assessment. This district may Include the whole borough of Brooklyn or simply the Coney Island property.

The bill makes mandatory upon the City of New York, that It shall pay the cost of regulating the land and the approaches, And of constructlnj tha board walk, while not denning In any way the manner of construction or the height of the walk, it Is also mandatory that the City of New York shall pay one-half Jhe cost of the land and the easement and all the expenses of commission. It would, therefore, appear that the present property owners will receive back from the city one-half of the value of whatever rights may bs taken by satd city, and that In addition the city shall pay all other costs Of every kind whatsoever for the purpose of partly clearing a strip of land between 110 and 160 feet In width, which will certainly not mark the beach line for more than a single summer, which may be built up on both sides, with concert saloons or other buildings end which may be obstructed at any point and for any distance by approach-8 to piers. We represent In the Interest of taxpayers that any such compulsory expenditure is a gross waste of money, and that the Interests of the people In New York are In no wise protected by the provisions of the bill, while It will give valuable additional privileges to tti- present owners of property are at the public expense and without proper assessment upon them. TThe speaker was Asslsiant Corporation Counsel Butts, who told the committeemen that the city Was opposed to the measure. To a question Asked by Senator McCarren.

Mr. Butts said the city had ample power to build the walk. Mr; Butts contended that It was hard, for the etty to keep the tax rate down when the Legislature authorized Improvements. The chief contention of Mr. Voorhees, the engineer, was that the city did not have the power to construct the promenade.

authorities, and the property owners being compelled to go into the court. If the commissioners had been permitted to carrv out the privilege which they have always heretofore enjoyed, of making private agreements, this bill would not have been necessary.

non-Bird S. Coler; 'My! Dear Sir, If you were quotdd In last nights Standard Union, I'mdst that, to my opinion, your advice to the, gradual.ng class was rfelther good ftor patriotic. In the flist place, you did not confine yourself to the subject matter. -Secondly, I question whether you would advise one of your sons to enter a civil service examination for the purpose of getting a political position. It Is a generally conceded fact that, after a young man has held a political position lor a few With the good isy and easy time which usually accompanies such position, that should he lose such position, cither through the change of politics or other causes, that be is practically -unfitted for any other position.

While I know of no reason, for this, 1 can quote several Instances where it Is absolutely true. Again, If you are correctly quoted, your remarks are unpatriotic, and directed against the veterans of thewarof the rebellion. 1 i heae men, many of 'whom are mentally and physically strong, are growing old, and are fully able and capable of pertotmlng the outlea Of any clerical position In either of the departments -of the city of New Yoi k. the. Controller's oiHte included.

I cannot, and do not, want tp believe that It was your intention to cast a slur upon the veterans of the Civil War on account of their age, nor do I believe that you would discriminate agalnat the veterans, other things being equal. The State of New York allows a preference to veterans of the war of 10 per The civil service list of the city of New York for-ls (which list has been extended for one year), for the position of temporary clerk, contains the names of but four veterans, who passed the required percentage, and on account Of the derorlminntton of the State In favor of veterans, veterans are generally" employed in some one or other departments of the city of New York. I ran refer you to one of the departments of the city which has tried both the veteran and the younger element as temporary clerks. This department now gives the preference to the veterans on account of their good and true work, and on account of their sobriety and punctuality. It has been my pleasure to listen to you on several occasions.

I have -followed you closely in your official life, and have admired the stand ami sentiment so often expressed in public. I have always thought 'that you had a bright and prosperous political' future before you. My only excuse for writing you Is that you may place yourself correctly before the thousands of men who served in the War of the Rebellion, and who must feel that you have Insulted them In your remarks on Patriotism."

Spread It smoothly- on one thin slice of whole wheat cover with another slice and preis enough to make them hold together. This may be varied by substituting finely chopped preserved ginger In place of the walnuts, and moistening with the ginger syrup, or-by using half dates and half-ohopped figs or raisins. -CEREAL WrfH Put one pint of boiling water in the op of the double and one level teaspoon of salt and put It directly over the Iras flames. 8ttr In two-thirds of a cup of any of tho granulated of- flaked preparations- qf wheat Stir until It bolls up thick, tjft the pan up it tt Is In danger of running over.

A mixture of thick sweet cream and fruit Juice is more agreeable to some tastes with this mush than an excess of sugar.

DATE BREAD. Make your bread in the usual way, and after it has risen and Is ready to be shaped Into loaves, stir Into the dough one cup of dates; washed, dried, stoned and cut fine. Let the loaves rise till light bake as usual, but do not serve It untl a day old. DATE PUFFS. Make and bake the usual cream caka mixture, and when cool split and flit with a mixture of whipped cream and sifted dates, beaten together until light and thick.

Flavor It with lemon. BAKED DATE PUDDING. Remove the crust from half of a small loaf of white bread. Cut It In thin sltlcea and spread each with butter, and a thin layer of apple Jelly. Fit them Into a pudding dish and scatter over them qne- i half cup of dates, washed, dried stoned and cut small.

Then put on another layer of bread spread, as and another half cup of dates; cover with bread simply buttered. Make a custard with three eggs, one-halt cup of sugar, saltspoon of salt and one quart of milk. Pour It over the bread, turning It on slowly. Let it stand half an hour, and when well soaked bake tt. about an' hour.

Serve without sauce, 'or with oream If desired. The variety of fruit flavors In the pudding makes a sauce unnecessary. CREAMED DATES. Clean, drain and dry the dates and remove the stones. Cut them In small pieces and measure one Spread the pieces apart and sprinkle them with lemon Juice.

The bill provides that the strip 1 Its northerly line from hlghwater mark ns It exists at the time the map Is made The beach at Coney Island Is continually shifting. On the ground of the Seaside 'Home the line of mean high tide has moved southward three hundred and forty-five feet since 1891 and five hundred and fifty feet since 1886. Old maps show that the lines of the Islandhave change 1 'still more In longer periods.

No one can foresee where the line will be In another ten years. It may be five hundred feet further out to sea, leaving the costly boardwalk useless; or it may be five hundred feet Inland, annihilating the value of the whole proposed construction. This Is the fate which has already befallen the asphalt driveway eastwaid from the Ocean Boulevard. Third. The beach at Coney Island Is unusually hard, level and smooth, and In Itself constitutes the best promenade which can be devised.

Fourth. Should the boardwalk be erected It would certainly Invite the construc- tlon on the land side of concert and dance halls, et cetera, making the walk largely the means of access to such places, as Is the case with the present surface walk known as The Bowery." Fifth. The cost of the proposed walk Is to be assessed one-half on the property and one-half on the City of New York. As owners of the property we protest against the former and as good citizens we protest against the latter. To the I than one hundred and fifty (l.0) feet at I authorities the court was obliged lo make some compensation bv way of al- I 80 that the special Jury lists lowance to the property owners.

This was to offset the expenses to which they were put by litigation. In 1899, without notice, the city authorities amended tha bridge act, and struck out the provision so that no allowance can be made to the property owner who was compelled to go to court, even when he succeeded In coming to an agreement with the city. We ask that the matter be as all preeminent proceedings are under the general condemnation law contained In the Code of Procedure. This Is necessitated by the conditions which exist and which were brought about by the Mayor prohibiting the Bridge Commissioners from carrying out, the agreements heretofore made with the property owners by private contract, the amount of the purchase price having been fixed by the city which have been made up at considerable cost since the law creating the office three years ago went Into effect, shall be preserved. The Governor had a talk yesterday afternoon with several of the Commissioners and Senator Elsberg, wlih the result stated.

At a joint hearing yesterday afternoon by the Senate and Assembly committees on electricity, water and gas it was decided to report the Tralnor Gas blll.whlch was done In both Houses to-day.
