The protest of the organization is contained in a letter to the Mayor forwarded late yesterday in time for the association to be on record at City Hall before the meeting of the Board of Estimate. The organization, headed by N.

A. Sahadl, has a membership of 600 and claims that in the event of taking political action it could swing several thousand votes in the coming elections. The communication of the organization bears the signature of Irving Sugarman, executive secretary of the unit, and has the full approval of all other officials of the group. The communication reads, in part: "We want you to know right now that we are an organization of property owners numbering over 500 members, with a potential voting strength in the vicinity of 5,000, and we feel, as your constituents, that our demands should be heard by your office and acted upon for our benefit. "Since your short regime in office the records conclusively and un-auallfledlv divulge that, as far as the property owner is concerned, he is much worse off today than during the days before you were elected to your present office.

"We are absolutely amazed at the recent legislation sponsored by you and almost unanimously passed by your Board of Aldermen to create additional taxation upon the automobile owner and by the Increase of taxi fares, which will be eventually assumed by every citizen in this city. "We as an organization are proud that there are hundreds of other groups in line with us, and, with that In mind, you should realize that this form of taxation Is absolutely against the will of the people. "Unless something more in line for the good of the people is introduced by you, such as reducing unnecessary expenditures by the city, by creating a tax upon those who are best able to assume it, then we want you to know right here and now that when the time comes when you will ask the people to vote for you you will learn the results." Although the association was the first officially to go on record on the matter, other Bay Ridge units announced their intention of protesting the tax several days ago. Frank Matrunola and Harold I. Stewart have announced they will discuss the matter before a meeting of the Bay Ridge Civic Council Tuesday night, while James T.

Clooney and Stewart are scheduled to discuss it before Narrows Taxpayers Association on Monday evening. jriv STREET SHOWERS NUDE BATHING ICE CREAM SHORTAGE UNPOPULAR TAX REVOLT GROWS WITH the temperature trying its best ta hit the celling it might be well to inquire about those street showers lor children. As yet the showers have been conspicuous by their absence. Ask the children who are used to dancing under their cooling rush ol water. Young men and boys in the nude are making use of those hulks, that were mentioned Wednesday, for diving platforms at the foot of 67th St.

They will get away with it until local police sprout water winp so that they can get hold of the would-be nudists. There will be an ice cream shortage for some time in Bay Ridge, according to late reports, children who marched in the anniversary parade under the hot sun being responsible. When they returned to their churches they ate enough to build a good-sized mountain on the crossing of 4th Ave. and 67th St. Heat or no heat, the members of the Bay Ridge Property Owners Association are scheduled to continue their meetings during the Summer.

They will hold four gatherings and prominent speakers are being arranged for. SURPRISING as it may seem, a Democratic club has seen fit to frown upon the action of a Democratic Mayor of the city. The Columbia Democratic Club of the 16th A. with headquarters at 7216 18th is the one. The members have gone on record as being opposed to the automobile tax sponsored by Mayor Carmine J.

Marasco is executive member of the unit. Jacob M. Poss won the applause of the "house' when, speaking at the mass meeting of the Benson Park Civic Association, he referred to the last session of the State Legislature as one devoted "to the making of laws governing the bobbing of horses' tails and the sale of second-hand hats." William J. Pape of the Fort Hamilton Chamber of Commerce and the Bay Ridge Civic Council Journeyed over to Bay Parkway and 78th St. to represent his section at the same mass meeting.

The veteran civic worker appeared in a palm beach Fult looking very much like a Washington Senator. We mean a member of the United States Senate and not a baseball player. Democrats of the 16th A. D. are awaiting with interest the meeting of the district connty committee.

Just who may be designated for the post of Alderman is a favorite riddle over there. THE Mayor's action in sponsoring the automobile tax and bridge toll is doing more good for any Fusion movement that may develop than any campaign propaganda the Fusionists might prepare. It might almost appear the Mayor wants to make it clear to civic workers in Bay Ridge that they were right during the last election when they voted for a non-offlclal candidate. Local police are not any too well pleased with the prospect of having to enforce that automobile tax law. However, they believe they will be relieved of the duty by an Injunction restraining them.

Frank Matrunola of the Realty Brokers of Bay Ridge and the Bay Ridge Civic Council has some ideas regarding the subject of mortgage moratoria. The last time Matrunola spoke on the subject he aroused considerable discussion at the mass meeting of the Bay Ridge Civic Council. Frank Sullivan appeared In the Bay Ridge Court the other day, but not on business. He just dropped in to see the boys and make sure the building was till standing.

Klernan is scheduled present to Governor Lehman in person a petition and resolution signed and passed by the members of the Benson Park Civic Association asking for a special session of the State Legislature for the purpose of ratifying measures that would make possible a mortgage moratorium. The resolution with Its accompanying petition was signed and acted upon by the association and other small home owners at a mass meeting sponsored by the unit Wednesday night at the Jewish Community House, Bay Parkway and 78th St. Jacob Poss, chairman of the mass meeting committee, presented the resolution asking for the special session after several speakers of other civic organizations had urged that the home owners band together in a general movement.

Klernan addressed the gathering shortly after Kenneth F. Sutherland, Democratic leader of the 16th A. had made a brief speech in which he declared the home owners were asking for what was due them.
