BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 11 



per year, for a term of ten years, for construction, would enable 

 the Commissioners to place the park and parkways in the con- 

 dition contemplated in the detailed reports. 



In the matter of Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street, your 

 Committee are confident that the park and the adjacent prop- 

 erties would be permanently benefited if these streets were 

 improved — especially the former — and that its substantial 

 improvement would hasten the building up of the properties 

 lying along the west side of said avenue. 



Finally, it is the deliberate judgment of 3^our Committee 

 that the interests of the city and of the contiguous property 

 owners would be subserved through a Legislative Act, which 

 would transfer Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street from the 

 custody of the Park Commissioners to that of the Department 

 of City Works. 



Respectfully submitted.
