CONFIRMS PARK AWARDS.
Justice Does Not Think Property an
Eastern District OUerUdlued.

In spite of objections from the Corporation
Counsels Office. the report of the commissioners
OF estimate and assessment, making an award
of 81, 769 234 for the land and buildings to be
taken for the proposed McCarren Park In the
Eastern District. Brooklyn. confirmed by
Justice Kelly Of the Supreme Court yesterday.
The opposition TO the award declared that 1t
was at least $4,000 too high.
The condemnation proceedings have been
dragging along for some time. The first report.
ia which the awards were somewhat higher
than those in the second report, was signed
by only Commissioner Henry It. Haggerty, ex-
deputy police commissioner. and Commissioner
Edward J. Murtagh. George S. Billings the
third commissioner refused to sign IT, on the
ground that the awards were excessive, and it
was sent back to the commissioners for re-
vision.
Although the report confirmed yesterday was
signed by all the commissioners, ii had been at
tackled as making too large awards. Justice
Kelly, however, seemed to take the view that
this criticism was unjust He called attention
10 the fact that the city had recently purchased
site on the border of the proposed park terri
tory for which a much larger amount, proper
tonately, had been paid than has been awarded
10 the owners OF the park property.
The owners" he said, value the separate lots
higher than the city's experts The commits
sioners appear 10 have fixed a compromise
value. AS I read the figures, the awards in
most cases, are about % per cent. under the
owners estimate, in some cases more. If this
were the case of single piece Of property the
result would not have been surprising. 1t is the
whole area Of the land taken and the large
amount Of money involved which attract atten-
ton and invite criticism
The property which is TO be taken for Nc
Carren Park is bounded by Berry-st-, Nassau
ave, Lorimer-st.. Driggs-ave., Manhattan-ave.,
Leonard-st. Bayard-st., Union-ave. and North
12th-st- 1t comprises twenty-three city lots.

FEAR TYPHOID EPIDEMIC.
MORE CASES At CONEY.
Sanitation Bad an Many Places
Doctors Blame Sewerage.

An increase in typhoid fever cases at Coney
Island is causing nervousness among the doc
tors, who admit that at least fifteen new cases
have come to their attention in the last three
weeks. An epidemic is feared by those who live
In the poor quarters in Rairoad-ave. near the
Culver station. Several cases OF typhoid have
developed there.
At the Coney Island Reception Hospital Dis
pensary eight typhoid cases are being treated
while several persons suffering from the dis
ease have been transferred to the Kings County
Hospital.
No deaths from typhoid have as yet been re-
ported at Coney Island. The cause of the out
break is attributed by the doctors who have
the cases under observation to bad sewerag ge
conditions in Surf-ave. Stagnant pools are nu-
merous in the districts populated by those en-
ployed in the various amusement enterprises
and others who stay at Coney Island in the
summer.
The land near Railroad-ave. and the Culver
line tracks is sunken in many places, causing
the accumulation of rainwater, while in other
spots tidewater reaches the surface
Off Surf-ave., under boardwalks which lead
TO the other main street. garbage has accumu-
lated in such proportions that an outbreak is
feared there
DR.. Morrison and DIR. Clay, of the Coney
or the cases under observation, lay the cause of
the disease to one of three thirgs-polluted
water, improper sewage or impure milk. The
water used in Coney Island, Sea Gate and Man
haitian Beach comes from Sheepshead Bay and
rs rs CONSIDERED by many the best in Brooklyn.
Inc same mains carry the water supply to Bath
Beach, where typhoid fever has assumed re-
narkable proportions since June l.
AT Coney Island well as at Bath Beach
some OF the typhoid cases also said to come
from the surf, which at times is noticeably pol
luted. Garbage and sewerage matter is carried
by the tide to within few yards of the shore
lines. At several places bulkheads carry the
sewerage matter outside the bathing safety
lines.
Following the storm Of last Sunday, when the
rainfall was unusually heavy, not less than a
oozen pools were left to be dried by the sun or
10 evaporate These conditions have existed for
some time and can only be overcome by con-
stantly filling the depressed spots with ashes
An Improvement company has begun to fill in

with dirt taken from the subway have carried

Washington, Aug. 4-Most timely just at this sea-

the comfort promised in report just received at
the State Department from Mr.. Guenther, the

DR.. Dunbar the director Of the hygienic institute at
Hamburg, told how, by process similar 70 that Of
producing the diphtheria serum. he had succeeded
in obtaining hay fever preventive by means Of a
continued vaccination of animals with the poison
OF pollen. An antitoxin is thus formed in the blood
OF the animal which possesses the property of
neutralizng the poisonous effects OF pollen in the
nose and eyes Of the patient.
1t is noteworthy that this serum. known in com
merce as poantine; unlike other serums, is not in
jected hypodernicaly. but is simply applied to the
nose and eyes. Vouminous and very favorable sta
tstics have been collected to the efficacy of the
remedy.
