as going to show what has Leen done and what IL Is
proposed to do with regard to matters the DISPOSE
ton OF which rest with the Commissioners The
financial report shows that the Commission has re-
ceived from various sources during the year $ll6.-
81
The matter Of the gradual destruction OF the Pal
isades by the quarrymen is also referred to- on this
important point the report says: In connection
with an application for grant on the HUDSON
River the Commission made an inspection OF nearly
every part of the river fanked by the Palisades
There are three firms carrying on quarryins
operations Oh the line of the Palisades two of which
are working on permits which We're granted under
the restrictions OF the law OF 1885, designed TO pro-
this fine natural scenery from DETACHMENT
THE Board has been advised by the ATTORNEY,
General that under the act of 1s95 1t Is compeled
make grants or leases, when alplled Tor, 10 the
ow rers OF land along the line of the Palisades, ana
can impose no restrictions on the defacement or the
