sades question was under discussion
again in the Senate this morning when

Governor and State Comptroller COM
Emission to consider the purchase OF q
part of the Palisades property for pup-
Tic park and giving the commission 1uii
,uthority to act came up. MI. Winion
Explained that since the preservation OF
The Palisades from blasting. ETC.. had
& already been provided for by the pas
axe of the bill earlier in the session
s .she present measure was TO enable the
j istaae II it deemed necessary. to beautify
he property by a series OF handsome
Rarks.
jsanator williams of Passaic opposed
The bill. He did not believe in the alp
+ pointment of any more commissions with
unlimited powers. The people regarded
such commissioners with suspicion
Mr.. winton said he thought that since
she Stpte had taken the position as
sort of guardian of the Palisades It
would be a good policy to use some OF
the proparty for the pleasures and bene-
ut of the public.
Mr. Williams still objected and Sen
ator VOORHEES, took the same view.
He said he was willing to vote for
me measure IL 1t was amended SO the
cornnission should merely Investigate
+,,e matter and report to the next Legis-
satl,re
Mr.. wiuton agreed to such an amend
ment and the bill thus altered will prob
ably pass.
