There have been several deaths at this beach from drowning, and after a careful investigation made by the depu ties of our office in tho case nf .Tease Baldwin, we find that a condition exists on this bench which wu believe to be mltted to continue. "This boach is entirely too close to the channel, and at low water there is very little space for bathing, except ing in the channel, where the waters run very swiftly and where it Is very deep. "The public through tho maintaining of this place is invited to come there und to hatho and most of them do it with the assumption that It is perfectly safe because it Is maintained by the City of Philadelphia.
