CITY DIDN'T OWN LAND.
Spent Thousands for Park and Lost
Chance to Collect TGreS.

Opposite the Convent Of the Sacred Heart, in
st. Nicholas avenue is pretty a little PARK as
there is in the city. It is small triangular pot
OF ground made ny the coming together AT an
acute angle of St Nicholas and EdGecomoe
avenue the south side OF 18th street beng the
third side Of the triangle. Some thousands OF uol
lars of city money recently spent IN peauIl-
flying this ground. and ii was not untl the WORN

Henry Smith discovered that the land was owned
by the Pinkney estate. and not by the city.
friend of the Park Commissioner suggested
10 him yesterday that the Bureau OF MuhlclpaI
Research might get after him. and he replied
with a sad smile: Il not sure but that they
ought to-"
Not long ago Mr. Smith noticed that this tri-
angle. which measures IA by 142 by .. was over
grown by weeds and Uttered with rubbish. On find
ing that the property carried on the records
of the department belonging To the city he
gave orders for its Identification.
An ornamental railing erected. grass plots
were laid out and walk constructed through
the centre. \ few flowers were set out and
number of park benches placed where the public
could come and enjoy what had been done for
their pleasure.
The Park Commissioner received number OF
letters commendng him for what he had done
for the neiEhDorhood But the feeling of elation
gave way TO quite another emotion when John c.
Shaw. agent for the Pinkney estate, sent a letter
thanking him profusely for improving part of the
property of his clients Mr. Shaw produced docu-
ments which seemed show that the triangle in
question was part of The Pinkney estate. and In
vestigations of Commissioner Smith developed
nothing disprovc II.
Mr.. Smith thought the city might at least set
even by recovering the back taxes on the land,
which has never been down on the tax books as
belonging the Pinkney estate. lie was told.
however that back taxes that had not been as
sesscd could not be collected. The land will be
duly assessed next year
