EFFORTS TO SAVE THE PALISADES.
Many schemes with which Tribune readers are
familiar have been proposed TO save the Paiis-
AIDES from the ravages of the quarrymen. but
thus far none have been successful. The New-Jer-
sey Legislature has been appealed 10. but to no
purpose Now the new Palisades Commission,
recently appointed by Governor voorhees, mas
undertaken the task and hopes TO find feasi-
bic plan for the permanent preservation OF the
picturesque cliffs
Ex-senator II. u. Winton. OF Hackensack'
president OF the joint Commission appointed py
the Governors of New-York and New-Jersey IN
1898 said: There IL only one way 10 save the
Palisades from further spoation and that Is
by purchase To do this IL Will require from
81 100000 TO S5.000O00 to purchase the eleven
miles lying in the State OF New-Jersey. Al the
time our Commission was in existence we Sc
cured options from the property owners along
the Palisades and. II / remember rightly 1t VIII
take something over 100000 to purchase the
eleven miles OF the Palisades lying In the state
Of New Jersey. BY condemnation proceedings
this amount could probably be reduced
81. 100000
Il wish the new Commission every success
though I feel confident they Will find II very
difficult 10 raise such vast sum as VIII be
required 10 purchase the Palisades by popular
subscription"
On the other hand Major s. Wood McClave
OF the present Commission, believes that the
fourteen miles Of Palisades can be purchased Tor
less than 81 100000. and that the interest in
their preservation Is so pronounced throughout
the United States that Subscriptions as soon as
the plan is properly started. VIII be rapidly
forthcoming.
