and A. photo.) i Mr. Guggenheim and Mr. Loeb have led the fight of the Oyster Bay Game Protects Association to defeat the plans of the Commission for the construction of the new boulevard, according to Commissioner Moses, io an effort to keep intact the private shooting preserves of the association. Spikes Reports Reports that ths association had served members of the Commission restraining order halting the of dredging and filling for tha development at Jones Beach, are untrue, Mr Moses declared.

"The facts in thia case are simple," explained Mr. Moeea, in reviewing the work. Varioua members of the Guggenheim family and Mr. Loeb some years ego obtained from the town of Oyster Bay a lease of 500 acres of land on Jonea Beach extending from the ocean to the bay, including a pond, and constituting by far the most valuable of all the lands owned by the people of the town. This least was rene.rtd in 1920 at a rental of a dollar an acre per year for the' 500 acre for a period of fifteen years.

Thia new lease wai granted without a Tote of the people in the face of the known fact (bat Jonea Beach waa about to be connected with the mainland by a causeway: that public and private developments were contemplated and that the land so leased was of enormous value. The granting of a lease of this sort for a long period and for a ridiculously low consideration waa ineixcc able. The local officer chiefly responsible for the kai is now-qut of office, having been, defeated at the' last election, largely because of his failure adequately to protect the public interests in tows lands. Guggenheim Opposed When the State first took up the served Ah fork oi question of Jones Beach and the Ocean boulevard considerable attention and study was given to the aocilld Guggenheim lease. When the matter of the State developments was first taken up with members of the Guggenheim family they expressed intense hostility to giving up the gam preserve or t) any ocean boulevard passing through it.

It should be stated in ths connection that this game preserve is a preserve in name only. It is actu ally a place for the alanghter of ducks which are attracted into the pond and fed on the premises. There is a small shooting lodge on the grounds so located thst members of the club can walk out the door and shoot hslf-tamo ducks without" even getting cold. In other words this shooting ground and in ao sense a oaactnarry and it existence does not improve shouting for other people or constitute eay public benefit whatever. "I do not beliere for one minute that there is any way in which Mr.

Guggenheim and Mr. Loeb can hold up a great public improvement to prolong the life of a lame duck shooting preserve in the midst of a great public park and recreation area, on th bets of $50 a year rental of tand worth millions of dollars. i Thinks lease Voidable "In any event the State end th town will take car of the public in. terest in this matter. My personal belief is that th lease has always been voidable, and I believ thta the new euperviaopr of Oyster Bey, Mr.

Downing, will come to this conclusion when he has studied it. There have been a good many efforts on the part of selfish people of large wealth to Jnterrupt the park program, but this attempt to maintain a private shooting ground on the finest ocean front on the Atlantic seaboard is the most impudent of all'.
