TnE PARK PLACE ExrENsIoN.-The final meeting
OF the committee Of the Board OF Alder
men to whom the matter Of extending Park
place was referred was held yesterday, at
noon, in the Chamber OF the Board Of Alder
men. large number Of those who had attended at
the previous meetings OF the committee were pre-
sent, and those who addressed The committee
Judge Vanderpoel, ]. M. Bowers and ]. II. Glover
each spoke again, but adduced no ne. arguments in
favor OF the opposition. Mr.. ). Il. Chittenden and
Mr.. Moses II. Grnnell appeared, and each stated
that II majority OF the property owners In interest
would petition In favor OF the extension they would
gladly acquiesce; but they did not believe ma
lority could be found who would sign it, They thought
1t would be better to wait until Beekman street was
extended or the new Post ONCE was built, and see
Ii this extension would be needed. Mr. Grnnell and
Mr.. I. H. Monroe argued against the idea OF widen
ing Robinson street, IN order that the commerce
should be benefited. In fact, it was not needed,
as the large Shipping was not confined TO the docks
below Canal street. The heavy Sound steamers
would ere long be obliged to remove high up on the
East river side and the large Hudson river steamers
would be compelled to moor up town beyond the
ferry crossings. Business is moving up and the
construction of these very wide streets down town
is not now so absolutely necessary as TO incur the
imposition OF heavy assessments for what would
accrue cnly to the benefit OF New Jersey. They
were In favor OF improvements, such stone piers
underground railroads, and those which would un-
doubtedly benefit the community. Mr.. A. Il. Law
renee In behalf OF the petitioners, reiterated the
arguments which appeared IN the HERALD OF Tues
day. At the close Of his address Alderman Hardy
announced that the discussion would then close
and the committee would report at an early day.
