Urges City Control
For River Park
Rockefeller Offers

William II. Allen, director Of the In
stitute for Public Service, yesterday
sent protest TO the Board Of Esti-
mate against John d. Rockefeller, jr. s,
suggestion that the 100000 park he
offers to the city be decided TO the In
terstate Palisade Park Commission.
lie declared that to make a part Of the
city's park system subject to interstate
control or otherwise to take it away
from city control was a step backward
and violation Of home rule.
"Only trouble. expense and confusion
can result from having a substantial
part of New York City's park system
subject to an interstate commission
said Mr. Allen. "Nor would it help
matters if the Palisades Park Commits
sion were a single state rather than
an interstate commission. The Bronx
Parkway Commission, mentioned by
Mr. Rockefeller as an example. is also
beautiful illustration Of disfranchls-
ing 100000 people and sacrificing To-
cal needs. as of Brownsville, 20 dcvcl-
oping Westchester County by man
datory legislation.
There is no more reason for having
this particular park under interstate
control than for having Prospect Park
or Washington Square or Riverside un-
der external control.
For years this city has been trying
to secure home rule, not on theoretical
grounds. but as a protection against
mandatory cost raising legislation. To
make a part Of the city's park system
subject 10 interstate control or other

purchased by the Good Roads club OF
Miami composed of ll6 men who are
paving $40 month into n common

machinery will be used on the county
roads and will not cost the county one
