There are at present 200 miles of eobhlciitone streets In Brooklyn, and Mr. Redfield says he wishes to reduce this num b e r before the end of | next year.

D u r i n g the past few weeks Commissioner RedfiSld has roeelved hundreds of petitions from property owners in different p a r t s of ibe borough rdquesting him lo repave certain streets. Mr. Redfield Is considering all these requests, hut it Is not likely th a t all will be acted upon favorably. Mr. Redlleld has already practically decided on the streets which are to be repaved ne:;t year and it will depend upon the size of the borough’s appropriation w h e t h e r or not other streets not on Comiulssloncr Redfield’e list will receive artenllon. It Is likely th a t there ■eill he some dissatisfaction w h e n Commis sioner Redfield makes public the list of streets which arc to be repaved next year, but he says timt with the funds at his dis posal be cann’>l do any better.

It has been suppo.scd th a t the ; Park Departm e n t would forever have con- , trol over the w a t e r front aud the land under . w a t e r as much as it has over the drlvowa.v ■ itself. ; Elijah R. Kennedy, president of the com- ■ mission which planned the Shore drive, wa.s ; asked tills morning if lie was aware ot the | plans and contention of the- Dock Coramis- | sioncr. He replied; : “ It is a fact th a t the Dock Commi.ssioner ! cf .Manhattan makes t h e elaim you have meii- tioned. I have a letter from Park Commis- ' sioncr Voung informing me of that fact.” “ What ir. your judgriienl Is the legal right of the T'.ark D e p a r t m e n t in reference to this ; marti . 1 “ Wii. n -he Shore Road Commission w.as i charg-ed ...th the d u ty of m a k i n g p l a n s . \ 1 said .Mr. Kertiio.ly, “ it was confronted with | the necessity under the sta t u t e by which we [ were» appointed of securing the approval of the Mayor and other city and county authori ties before Ihc plans could he filed in the public record and be legally adopted and binding on t h e Park Departm e n t . Wc th e r e fore took ihc public officers dowu to view the property. The land under water from the upper end of the Shore road to Fort Ham i l t o n was owned by private parties, gen erally those who owned tho land on the east ■ side ot the country road which ran along t h e bluff, i t was t h e sen t i m e n t of the imbilo authorities that it would be usele.ss to acquire the old country road and the land east of the road wide enough to make a parkway of dignity and importance if we loft the land under w a t e r in the hands of p r i vate owners. “ F o r the whole left ot the property the private ownership e.\tended for a consitler- able distance out into the Narrows, a t some ,.olals as far as 600 feel. AVe were very glad th a t the public officials took th a t view of ■be subject, because we ourselves considered th a t if warehouses, perhaps oil refineries, sugar refineries and other buildings wliieh like to get near the w a t e r front, ard would surely he erected in course of time, were there, the beauty and attraetiveuess of the great iiarkvvay would be completely destroyed and the largo cost ot the enterprise wasted. AVe t h e r e fore made our plans to comprehend all the land under -aater tor the entire dis tance f;-Jm where the Shore r o a d comes down to tlie bay. Just north of the house of K. AV. B11S.S, to Fort Hamilton. “ t.'pon the approval of our plan by the eitv and county authorities the plans were hlc-’d, one In liie County C l e r k ’s office and the other in the office of the Park fiepart- rnent. Under tho sta t u t e It then became the d-Jty of the P a r k Commissioner to ac quire ai; the property, land and old build ings situate within the boundaries defined hv our plans. The Pa; k Commlseioner pro ceeded prom p tl y lo purchase lauds and buildings and also the few docks at the time standing on the property. My recol lection is that, the City of Brooklyn gave .t;;..500.000 for the property thus acquired, I .and It seems to me utterly preposterous : tc suppose th a t this great expenditure for | park purposes can now be utilized for dock | purpose.; by a commissioner for .Manhattan, j ignorant of and Indifferent to the history j of the whole transaction and the Interests | 01 Brooklyn. i \The Shore road is as yet b u t a mere hint i of the broad and stately and diversified ; parkw a y which the plans of t h e comniissiou outlined. In some places the roadway is ^ ficarccly wide enough for two carriages to , T.ass abreast.
