Assemblyman C. f. Hopkins, Morris County
The Palisades should be preserved TO the State
OF New-Jersey. No other such grandeur and
beauty exists near the great city of New
York Nothing will delay It's pure hase much
as the sudden enhancement of It's value in the
minds OF the owners. when il is thought that
state would like To purchase. We hope 10 see
the state own them.
Assemblyman Frank r. Lloyd Camden County
AS a matter Of sentiment | should very much
Ike to 90" them retain permanently their present
icondition. but as to the cost and by whom Il
should be borne. az also the question whether
the object justifies such cost | am not pre-
pared to answer.
Assemblyman Alfred F. Skinner. Essex County
/ approve the general proposition that the
Palisades should be preserved and also the par
ticular proposition that this preservation should
be accomplished through the aid Of the Federal
Government, by setting them apart for Gov

The Palisades should undoubtedly be set off
as National Park. including sufficient ter
ritory 10 makes Its proportions equal Its natural
attractions and beauty.
