CENTRAL ORDERS.
Mr. FERDON in the chair-The Committee OF the
Whole took up the bill extending the Charter OF the
Monroe County Mutual Insurance Company. Third
reading. ,
Also the bill prescribing regulations for the laying
ont and management of the New-York City Manhat-
tan Park.
On reaching that section which relates to the Arsenal
property lying within the bounds of the Park,
MIR. WADSWORT1, for the purpose OF o0tsininS
an EXPRESSION from the Senate the point alluded TO
the fact that there was bill already before the Leg.
isature which provided for sale of this property aud
suggested that if the bill became law, and this Sec
ton which allows the Park Commissioners to eX-
change with the Government some city property for
the same, adopted it might cause much annoy
ance.
Mr.. SICKLES thought that the Park Commission
would be the proper persons to negotiate Tor the
purchase of that property.
Mr. KELLY agreed with the Senator from the
Third Mr. Sickles that the Commissioners were the
proper party to negotiate for the purchase OF the Arse
nal property Were it otherwise, be could easily I'M
apine that spectators would bid it in knowing that
il was absolutely necessary to the Park, and charge
the city exorbitant price for it.
Mr.. WADSWORTH, after the expression of this
opinion was satisfied that the retention Of the section
LeceeSdTy.
After the bin was read through,
Mr.. UPHAM moved to report progress, announcing
his intention at some future time to propose an I'M
portant amendment. He proposed to name the five
Commissioners providedior III the bhi but ne hau not
vet had time 10 make a selection OF names.
Mr. SICKLES hoped the Senator would not press
this motion He could not understand why the Legis
lature should assume TO name she commissioners IL
was purely local matter, so far as expense &C.: was
concerned. NewYork City alone paying the millions
that the Park would cost before it will be finished; and
Ne thought therefore there could be shown no good
reason why the city should not have the poor privilege
of naming the Commissioners who were To superntend
its having out and management.
Mr.. UPHAM did not choose to withdraw his motion.
He thought he could satisfy the Senator that the Leg
sla,lire should name the Commissioners.
The motion prevailed. - 80
Subsequently, on motion of Mr.. SICKLES. the bill
was made the special order for tomorrow, 12 o'clock
Tie bill relative to supply Of water for the Village
OF Cohoes referred TO Select committee orepof'
