TO BAY RIDGE, $1O,OOO,OOO
But Coler Objects to Paying Fave
Times assessed Vdlue.

! Borough President Coer of Brooklyn at the
meeting of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
| tionment yesterday objected to making an ap-
! preparation of S1O00OOOO for land for Bay
Ridge waterfront improvements, and the prop
osftion went over for two weeks pending further
| investigation by the Controller and Mr. Coler-
IN the discussion which followed 1t was shown
| that If the city makes the appropriation favored
| by Commissioner Bensel and passed by the
Sinking Fund Commission last August, 1t will be
| paying $5.656.626 80 for land at Bay Ridge on
! the Waterfront assessed in the sum Of S1246.-
| 600. Borough President Coler says that there Is
too much difference between the price which
Dock Commissioner Bensel wants to pay and
/ the assessed valuation. and that to pay the
price named would be public scandal
The Finance Department investigation seems
to show that the land wanted by the Dock De-
partment is owned by W. Bayard Cutting and
his brother -ir-law, J. A. Murray. Mr. Murray
seems to have the handling of it. 1t is said by
Mr. Coler that the city obtained title to ad-
joining land last year by condemning 1t for 50
cents a square foot, and that the price that the
Dock Department seems to be willing to pay for
it now amounts to 81 10 a square foot. Mr.
Coler says that Commissioner Bensel obtained
for the city at private sale large parcel or
property in the district for 81, 56.361, while the
property was assessed at only S1OO.O1S. Com
missioner Bensei says land values have In
creased enormously in the neighbOrhoOd since
the Pennsylvania Railroad obtained its fran
chise for the New York Connecting Railroad
and that the price he is willing to pay for the
property is the best figure that the city can get
1t was asserted yesterday that Commissioner
Bensel had paid the Lotus Realty Company
SSO1 ,91 for a parcel between 5ith and olst
streets assessed at only Sf31, 900, and the Lang
ley estate S2SS967 for parcel assessed at only
S}1 600
Controller Metz says that while the price OF
the land wanted by the Dock Commissioners is
high he cannot that there is any scandal
in it. as the increase in values is due to natural
causes
4 resolution came up relating to the laying
out of and acquiring title to Seaside Park
Mayor Mcclellan was veXed because no one
seemed to be able to find out why the cost OF
the land could not be ascertained- The job OF
finding out was referred to n committee con-
sistinC of the Controller chief engineer of the
board and the Corporation Counsel
Mayor Mcclellan caused a resolution to be
introduced resembling resolutions adopted some
time ago to establish park in Queens on the
waterfront II would cost 81 .50Oeo and the
board thought it did not have money enough.
