TEF PRoPosED PsKKs.-Anpther mectng Of fhs
PARK Commissioners held in ihe Mayors oscr. a.
the Cts fan, on Saturday evening for the purpose Of
discursng the several plans submitted. The project fer
chain Of Parks extending from Fcrs Hamilton to Rs-
yenswood with a macadamised road connecting the
same which was vor bly entertained AZ the previous
meeting seems Ia have fallen somewhat into dsiavos.
T. III. Rodman Esq. spoke m opposition TO the pro-
icci coniending that II five parks were established.
some Of them would fail into dsivor with the pusiss
end perhaps only OF two would be really popu'srs
The expense ncose these parks would be ggea'fr
than the eos, Of inclosing the quantity OF lard
lvins in one body. The intereef would be concentrated
In one rark, whereas II 500 acres were secured ana
divided into FIVE parks the interest would DO divided,
and perhaps three out OF the whole number would 20
neglected. The consequence would be- be confended,
that would have five shabby parks instead OF one
handsome park He also referred to the expense - IA
important for consideration, thus far they had
not figure Of the probable cost. In allusion 70 The
conflicting interests between the Eastern and Westers
Districts be contended that plan should be adopted
that would satisfy both. This he thought could Dc
done BY selecting two parks, one Of which no woaid
recommend 10 be located at Rdgewood and the ether
on Prospect Ill., neither to exceed 300 acres This he
thought would meet all present Requirements and Dc
satisfactory both sections of the city, He also nd
voeated the selection of parade ground, in addition
to these parks. h
VIM. II. Peck, esq., stated that in his opinion. I.
wide drive from Fort Hamilton 10 Greenpoint would
byate the necessity Of large parks and be therefore
uggested the selection of thu North Park at Green-
point the South Park ut Fort Hamilton with the Ces-
ra Park on Mr.. Brevoorts property, each 10 occupy
two acres Of lsnd the Parade Ground 10 contain iOS
acres tie Rdgewood Park IS acres and the Prospect
Hin Park IS acres with several other small parss seat
tered about the city, The cost of the whole esmsod
from the assessed valuation Of the properly would uot
exceed $3.50, CO.,
Remarks were made by other gentlemen OF the Com
mission, but no two appeared to be agreed upon any
one plan thus far proposed and the meeting adjourned
until Friday evening next when all the reports will bs
taken up and discussed under the head Of special
order
