Staten Island the present time is practically an
uncultvated park, with woods and lawns "here
the public may, without interference, seek the air
and pursue outdoor sports.
The Staten Islanders. the other hand use
these very In favor of the acquisition of PARK
territory. They say that New-York has only be-
gun its career of greatness. and that, with
Manhattan already crowded. the population must
flow into outlying parts. which will consequently
rises in real estate and ever increasing
difficulty in acquiring large parcels of property.
Now say the Staten Islanders, is the time to buy
The proposed tract of $500 can now be
bought, they say, for less than 100000. whereas
after the tunnel under the Narrows is built and
the population grows dense. such an area
cannot be acquired for many score times as much
The Borough of The Bronx also offers a precedent
for a prompt acquisition Of park lands in Rich
mond Borough. the Staten Islanders say. Here
4O6S acres have been acquired at q time when this
borough contained a small proportion of the total
population OF. the old city of New-York Even at
the present time The Bronx contains population
of about two hundred thousand. about one
seventeenth of the total number of NewYorkers.
Yet, on the other hand, The Bronx contains now
nearly two-thirds the park territory of the whole
city. The Staten Islanders contend, accordingly,
that the population of borough is no gauge for
limiting the size of it's park lands.

Ono or about eighty times the original cost
At the present time Staten Island. although lis
area of ffty-seven square miles is about one-ffth
that OF the entire city nevertheless possesses only
a paItry sixty-one acres Of park land or less than
a one-hundredth part of the total park territory
now enjoyed by the city. Those who have opposed
the establishment of Staten Island system OF
marks argue that Richmond Borough contains only
e7 600 fnha bitants. about onehfteth of the total
400 900 people living within the city limits. They
say that the more srarsey populated part OF

London. with its ri public grounds has 1855 acres
of park Neither could they say that they possess
the largest single park, for the little country OF
Denmark contains the largest park in the world
comprising 400 acres, much all the parks
and parkways Of The Bronx united in one. This
city, however is first among the cities or the New
World in the extent of its park property, even at
the present time with Boston next and Philadelphia
third
What the Staten Islanders emphasize most
strongly in their plea for parks is that at the pres
ent time land can be obtained far more cheaply
than at a later era when the borough is more
densey settled. That larger population is bound
to find way Staten Island homes its Cham
Der of Commerce says is evident. All that is hold
ing the borough back at the present time, it Is
pointed out is its inaccessibity a fault which can
be by proper transportation facilities
Already fruit is being borne Of the agitation for
faster ferries between Manhattan and Richmond
boroughs and the chief engineer of the Rapid
Transit Commission is now at work on plans for a
tunnel under the Narrows. by which Staten Island
can he ioined to Brooklyn and the Brooklyn sub
vay system. that Wall Street will be only twenty
minutes from Tompkinsville, instead of an hour.
The evolution of the cftys present park system,
the Staten Islanders say, offers multifold prece-
dents for the establishment of series of parks
and parkways in their borough while land is COM
paratively cheap. Thus. Washington Square was

not a fit place for old people, They should have
pleasanter surroundings. fresh air and chance to

complish such work Blackwei's Island; the farm
on Staten Island is just the place To my mind
there is something ineXpressibly heartiess IN

irlti too feeble longer for themselves
At the present time there twenty-five hundred
inmates in the BlackweilS Island almshOuse. eight
hundred Of whom are women. Under the rules OF
the institution fifty couples are compelled to
live apart though Commissioner Folks has been
able to do little work along the line Of the
colony idea by fitting up the former nurses home
for the use Of aged couples.
The Staten Island colony plan contemplates ex-
tensive working of the big farm, and in this way 1t
* estimated that the cost Of maintenance can be
materially lowered. Al the present time much
farming is done there. and the officials in charge
pride themselves upon the fact that all the vege-

considerable headway the establishment of the
