HOOLIGANISM AT THE BAYS

i Numerous complaints have been received pby membprs of the Eastbourne Borouirh -Council from local residents with regard ;to hooliganism displayed at I'ona Bay°and Muritai by week-enders and meinbeis of baches." For a considerable timo the 1 seaside borough has been particularly free from the rowdy element, but this bcason ■the evil geems to be returning. The matter was brought up at last night's .meeting of the council m a letter from a resident clergyman, in which complaint was made on behalf of several residents of the noises made during the night by the -■occupants of whares. Councillors agreed that the nuisance was becoming bo serious as to endanger the good name of tho eub■tUTo, and one particular "bach" was re4erred to as being a great offender. The letter also oalled attention to the custom of bathers of walking along tho roads wearing nothing but their nkin- tight bath- -. ing costumes. The council decided to appoint two of its members to approach the inspector of police with a view to obtaining assistance of an extra constable at certain times in order to put a. ttop to the trouble.
