owners, lessees, and parties and persons respectively entitled to or 

 interested in the same, together with the tenements, hereditaments, 

 and appurtenances, privileges or advantages to the same belonging or 

 in any wise appertaining, by and in consequence of relinquishing the 

 same to the said city of Brooklyn ; and in making such estimate they 

 shall not make any deduction or allowance for, or on account of any 

 supposed benefits or advantages to be derived from taking said lands 

 as public places, or in consequence thereof, and the amounts so esti- 

 mated, when duly confirmed, shall be paid as hereinafter in this act 

 provided. But after the cost of the said lands shall have been deter- 

 mined by the confirmation of the final report in relation thereto, it 

 shall be the duty of said Commissioners to apportion such part of 

 said cost as they may deem equitable, and not exceeding twenty per 

 cent, thereof, among the lands outside of said park, which they shall 

 deem to be benefitted thereby, and in proportion to such benefit ; and 

 said Commissioners may extend such apportionment to such distance 

 from said park as they may deem equitable and proper within the 

 Western Fire District of said city of Brooklyn. And whenever their 

 report in relation to such apportionment shall be completed, they 

 shall file the same with the Clerk of Kings county, and thereupon 

 proceedings may be had to correct or confirm the same, as in this act 

 provided. And after the confirmation of any final report of said 

 Commissioners making such apportionment, the one-twentieth part 

 of the amount thus apportioned shall be assessed annually upon the 

 lands in said city affected thereby, and shall be included annually in 

 the taxes to be levied thereon, and shall be levied and collected like 

 other taxes upon property in said city ; and the proceeds thereof 

 shall be paid over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of said 

 city,' to be by them applied to the redemption of the bonds of said 

 city, to be issued by virtue of this act. 



§ 7. The Commissioners appointed in relation to the taking and 

 value of the lands mentioned in the second section of this act, shall 

 in like manner make just and true estimate of the value of the lands 

 in said second section mentioned, and of the loss and damage to the 

 respective persons, owners thereof, or entitled to or interested in the 

 same in any wise, in consequence of relinquishing the same to the 

 county of Kings ; and the value of the lands so taken and mentioned 

 in the second section of this act, and the amount of compensation so 

 estimated by the Commissioners to the owners thereof, shall, when 

 confirmed, as herein provided, be paid by said county of Kings to 

 the parties thereto respectively entitled, and for the purpose of mak- 

 ing such payment, the said county may issue and dispose of its bonds 

 to such amount as may be necessary, in such form and manner as the 

 Supervisors thereof may direct. 



£ 8. Payment of the damages awarded by the Commissioners 

 provided for in this act, in any report made in pursuance hereof, shall 

 become due and payable, and shall be paid immediately upon the 

 confirmation of any such report of said Commissioners in the premises. 



§ 9. Said Commissioners and any party being owner of or inter- 

 ested in any of the lands mentioned in this act, may agree upon the 

 value thereof, and upon the amount of damages and compensation to
