FOR PARKWAY PROJECT.
Appropriation for Maps and Sur
ueys of BrOnr RiUer asked For.

Madison Grant president of the Bronx River
Parkway Commission, appointed by Governor
Hughes to preserve the waters of the Bronx River
from pollution and to create a reservation OF the
lands on either side OF the river. said yesterday
that the commissioners had asked the Mayor for
an appropriation for maps and surveys In order
to begin their work. Owing 10 the condition of the
city's finances and the tghtness of the money
market, the application for an appropriation will
not be presented to the Board of Estimate before
January.
AS funds have been supplied" said Mr.
Grant. the commission will go ahead with its
work. The success Of this project really depends
upon how cheapy get the lands. 1t has
been estimated that the cost of taking the lands
necessary to constitute the reservation based
their assessed valuation, would be about $17O000O.
The reservation comprises strip of land about
fifteen miles long varying in width from three
hundred 70 one thousand feet. and including
proXmately 125 acres in the city and about 900
acres in Westchester. as well as the Bronx River
itself. Regarding the limits of the reservation,
peCally in the three miles through the city limits.
we recommend that no property be taken except
in the low river lands and on the adjacent slope
for one hundred feet only.
THESE lands are not occupied adapted for
wholesome development, and this includes
practically the entire of nuisance which It is
desired TO eliminate from the city and outer COM
munities. The reservation comprises only lands of
lowest value through the city with scattered and
nominal improvements, and in the outer portions
mainly undivided tracts. with owners willing in
many cases to contribute outright for park lands.
This enterprise I have said. turns for its sue
cess on how cheapy get the lands-whether
get them at their actual values. We are
confident. however. that large part of the pro-
posed to be taken be acquired from the
property owners by private arrangement practi-
cally nominal terms"
The commission considers st expedient at certain
points through the Westchester portion widen
the reservation in part take in additional land
