Brooklxn,s Roomy Park.

Brooklyn is becoming quito town
for parks, and the taxpayers have never
been known in recent years to object to
having their money spent for such pur-
poses. There was great outcry thirty
five years ago, when the laying out OF
Prospect park was suggested, but no.
body now worries because the project
was carried through. The city made a
very profitable bargain in buying the
SIG 1-6 acres contained in that park and
paying only So, ,91s, ,37O.7O for them. Since
then the city has expended $5,34S, $50. 30
on construction account, making this
one park represent an expenditure OF
80 1858 ,231. .O5, but if it was put on the
market tomorrow it would easily sell for
twice that amount.
/ This is the biggest breathing spot in
the city. It contains 40 acres of wood
land, ~ acres of lakes, 70 acres OF
meadow land and c59 1-6 acres Of plan
tations. To accommodate owners OF
horses there are 8 miles of drives and
| Q 10 miles of bride roads, while the
most enthusiastic pedestrian ought to
be satisfied with his 10 miles of walks
