shock of heavy guntre while affording good shelter

of the United States reservation and neiShborhOOd

based firm conviction that il poor

that large post at the main entrance to New

and known as Dyker Beach Park. The estimated
cost of this additional land. S3 acres In ALL is
estimated at 100000. There would be additional
expense In building roads and fencing the additional
land which would bring the total estimate up to

acres should be laid out for park purposes in time
of peace and for the training of volunteer militia
and accommodation of troops in time of
AS considerable opposition developed among the
citizens Of Fort Hamilton to the turning of Dyker
Beach Park over to the government. Colonel
Greenough presented fourth plan. which is the
one likely to be carried out eventually. 1t involves
the purchase of the forty-fve already spoken
of. This would extend the boundaries of the res
ervation to the north to 92d-st.. and TO 7th-
ave. including some high rolling ground, which
would afford an excellent camp for militia ad-
ditional regulars. The colonel thinks that If
Dyker Beach Park could be used for drills by
volunteer militia, whenever necessary, it might be
possible to get along with the annexation OF the
forty-fve acres In his fourth plan he has also
provided for the erection Of only half of the ten
to twelve company barracks planned and CORE
spending dimlnution in the number of officers
quarters. This would cut the estimated of the
Improvement down to 2,6S6,000 This would seem
TO be little enough for the government to spend in
