112 REPORT OF THE 



acquisition, and in proceedings therefor. Should the amount 

 realized from the issue and sale of bonds, excluding all premiums 

 received therefor under this act, be more than sufficient for the 

 purchase and acquisition of land and other property and any ex- 

 penses which may be incurred in acquiring or purchasing the 

 same, as in this act provided, the Commissioner of Parks of the 

 City of Brooklyn shall certifiy the amount of such surplus to the 

 Comptroller of the said city, and such surplus, authorized by this 

 act, shall thereupon be expended by said Commissioner for the 

 uses and purposes and in the manner provided by section seven 

 of this act, and shall be added to and form a part of the fund in 

 and by said section provided for. 



SECTION II. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as 

 continuing the Department of Parks of the County of Kings as 

 a separate and distinct department from the Department of Parks 

 of the City of Brooklyn. 



Section III. This act shall take effect immediately. 



The Shore Driveway Commission, of which Mr. Elijah R. 

 Kennedy is chairman and R. D. Benedict counsel, has made con- 

 tracts for the filling in of the Lane Dock, and for the partial 

 construction of the road along the shore. 



The Park Department, which is still empowered to buy land 

 required, has been purchasing the balance needed for the Park- 

 way, and has secured all but the following pieces : 



Land of Catherine I. Mackay. 



Land of T. H. Bennett. 



Land of Brooklyn City Railroad Company. 



Land of Martha Week. 



Land of Marcia E. Lyons. 



Land of burial ground. 



Land of Thomas Frere. 



Land of McKinney, or Bryar. 



Land of Kings County Gas Company. 



It will probably require condemnation proceedings to acquire 

 these lands.
