MORE SECESSION TALK.
The Rockaways are talking .seces¬ sion again and even more earnestly than before, with a firmly fixed pur¬ pose to get justice from New York City as they see it, or to get out of Father Knickerbocker's family. They claim, and, with 8ome show of rea¬ son. It would seem, that they have never been considered In the manage- 'ment of the family, that they have scarcely had any of the crumbs that fall from Manhattan's table, that they have scarcely been thrown a crust or a bone to pick, although contributing their share toward the cost of maln- taihlng the whole city.
This condition of affairs is prob¬ ably not due to any deliberate inten¬ tion on the part of the city fathers to defraud the Rockaways, but rather to the slipshod, careless and unbuainess- like administration of the city's af¬ faire. If any man or group of men ran their private business in lhe way the city's buslnes.s Is run they would be considered til candidates for the bug-house or an asylum for idiots. Possibly the Rockaways will make noise enough lo awaken the city of¬ flcials to the utter stupidity ot their course in treating the Rockaways as they have and Induce thera to turn about and give the peninsular a square deal, which Is all thoy ask.
As an illustration of the city's mis¬ management of affairs along the ocean front property owners point to .the strip of sand heach purchased eome time ago for park purposes at a cost of about $2,000,000. a consider¬ able portion of which has been car¬ ried away to sea by the storms of the last winter and the unusually high tides l'his past summer.
It la claimed that no effort was put forth by the city to save this ex¬ tremely valuable property from being carried out to sea, while the city goes on paying inierest on the $2,000,000 bonds issued to pay for the beach.
