An attempt made winter, the LEGISLATURE, 10

ing about 400 acres, and embraced between Hamilton
nue. smith street. Sackett street. Fifth and Six
teenth street II Is probable strong effort will he made

scheme accomplished. The expense OF making the Park
will not be great in the present depressed state Of Brook
Ign lots. The city OF Brooklyn with 200 900 people should
have large Park, and be par with New York. IL
this object be accomplished, Brooklyn lots will quadruple

remarkable that property the city OF Brooklyn cheaper
than IN any city In the Union.
