JOHN d., R., BUYS
MORE LAND, PLANS
NEW PARK FERRIES
Long Strip Along Hudson OBJ
tanned - Affords Better
Docking Facilities

What is believed to be a last i'm
portant step in the plans of John d.
Rockefeller, jr., to present to the City
Of New York a park at the north end
of Manhattan Island-the step which
will mean bringing over from New Jer-
sey the entrance to the Interstate Park
was taken yesterday when Mr. Rookie
Teller purchased a long strip Of land
along the Hudson River.
Ire strip. which lies to the westward
and across the New York Central tracks
from the Billings, Hays and Sheafer
properties, recently acquired by Mr..
Rockefeller, extends from 193d Street
to Dyckman Street
The actual purchase was made BY
Frederick NJ. Hilton from the Tryon
Realty Company. Mr.. Hilton, who
acted as one of the brokers for Mr..
Rockefeller in the other purchases, will
in the next few days pass the title
TO the Empire Mortgage Company, the
holding company for all the properties.
The titles to the Billings, Hays and
Shcafer estates passed TO the Empire
Mortgage Company on Wednesday.
The acquisition of the shore strip
will give Mr.. Rockefeller the oppor-
tunity to carry out his scheme for
instituting a ferry service for the pub
lie across to the Interstate Park, which
extends along the Palisades all the
way to Bear Mountain, six miles this
side of West Point.
With the purchase yesterday go
the rights, title and interest" to all
lands under water up to the high water
mark. rs well as to all whaves, docks
and other shore structures. II has
been said that Mr.. Rockefeller's plan
includes the purchase of ferryboats,
which he will either turn over TO the
city for operation or run at his own
expense. II was thought Mr.. Rookie
Teller intended TO utilize the Billings
Yacht landing at the foot Of Dyckman
Street for this purpose, but the long
shore strip affords better docking ia
cilitics.
