BOARD OF STREET OPENING AND IMPROVE- MENT.

The Board of Street Opening and Improvement met at the Mayor's office on Friday, November 6, 1891, at 2 o'clock P. 51., pursuant to the following notice :

OFFICE OF TILE BOARD OF STREET OPENING AND IMPROVEMENT, ROOM No. lo, STEWART BUILDING,

NEW YORK, November 4, 1891.

SIR —You are respectfully requested to attend a regular meeting of the Board of Street Open-ing and Improvement of the City of New York, to be held in the Mayor's office, at the City Hall, on Friday, November 6, 1891, at 2 o'clock P. M., at which it is proposed to consider unfinished busi-ness, with such other matters as may he brought before the Board.

Very respectfully, V. B. LIVINGSTON, Secretary.

The roll was called, and all the members were present, and answered to their names The minutes of the meetings of October 16 and 30, 1891, were read and approved. The following letter from Mr. Andrew H. Green, asking for a public park at Fort Washing-

ton Point, was presented, and, on motion, was referred to the Department of Public Parks for report thereon :

No. 21¢ BROADWAY, NEW YORK, October 26, I891.

70 the Honorable THEODORE W. MYERS, Compiroller of the City of New York, and Member Board of Street Openings : 0 DEAR SIR—When engaged as the Executive of the original Board of Park Commissioners, then

a State organization, to whom was committed by the Legislature of the State the work of devising a plan for streets, avenues, etc., in that part of Manhattan Island north of One Hundred and Fifty-tifth street, I made a careful examination of that area, and in a communication under date of De-cember, iS65, to those Commissioners, among other recommendations, proposed the laying out of parks at certain points at the northerly portion of the island and particularly a park at Fort Washing-ton Point, in this language :

"No public pleasure-ground of the city, except the Battery, lies adjacent to the river. The exceeding picturesqueness of the ground along the I-Judson river, both above and below One Hun-dred and Fifty-fifth street, much of which, being well grown with fine park trees, affords an oppor-tunity to supply what will shortly he a want in a part of the city against which it cannot be urged that sufficient space has already been taken for parks. This park need not be very extensive; one of the points jutting out into the river, cut off from the lulls by the line of the T-Iudson river railroad, that, from the slope of the land, affords a convenient opportunity to bridge over the railroad, and a safe and agreeable access from the hill to the riverside, would be suitable.

NOVEMBER 13, I89I. THE CITY RECORD. .3441

Fort Washington Point, occupying abDut eight acres of land, with a portion of: e land to the east of the railroad, offers, perhaps, the most favorable opportunity to establish a park of this charac-ter ; it would immediately b_catne a place of res-irt, and the exterior street should be , o arranged as to continue the natural connection of the shore line with the river without the intervention of any bulkhead. The view of the river and the opposite shore is unsurpassed, and a convenient access to the water will do very much towards the encouragement of swimming-schools, boating and other aquatic sports."

This suggestion was approved by the Board, anal a park duly and authoritatively designated and laid out at Fort Washington Point, on November 15, 1867, and ie furtherance of the plan, on September 27, 1870, the Contmission~rs proceeded to take the steps necessary to transfer the park from private ownership to that of the City for the public benefit. But here other counsels pre-vailed, and on December 6, 1870, when the parks were taken out of the hands of the original Board and passed into the hands of persons appointed commissioners under the Tweed Charter of 1870, the proceedings to vest the park in the City were for sonic unexplained reason discontinued.

The considerations that in 1865 led me to advocate the acquisition of Fort Washington Point for a public park are not less potent to-clay.

This point is naturally most attractive and historically extremely interesting. Nearby are the ruins of the famous old fort held by the Colonial troops against the British in 1776. To the east are richly wooded hills. The waters of the Hudson wash its rock-bound front. To the west the Jersey hills and the Palisades are in full view, and both to the north and south is a most commanding and unsurpassed view of the river and its banks for many miles.

The length of the longitudinal cut through the rocks made by the Hudson River Railroad, by which this point is completely separated from the mainland, is about i,6co feet and its depth ten to fifty feet. This cut of the railroad can b_ easily spanned by one or more arches at a very trifling expense, thus rendering acces+ to the poi'It from the Fort Washington hills easy and agreeable. This is the only piece of land from the Battery to Spuyten Duyvil of any considerable extent where the natural shore of the river can be left undisturbzd by bulkheads or piers. It is completely separated from the mainland by the railroad cut, and is unsurpassed in b--auty and adaptedness for park purposes by any area on this island.

In the comnlumcation ab)ve r2fccred to it was als'i sugestecl that '' al least two of the numerous commanding summits lying still further to the north should be secured for public grounds," and that a large bract of ground in Westchester Co-inty should be purchased by the City, which latter suggestion has since been carried into effect.

I venture to recall these facts in the hope that, zealous for the protection of the public interests, you may find it proper to put the forces in motion for the establishment of Fort Washington Park as originally proposed.

Very respectfully yours, ANDREW 11. GREEN.

Jackson avenue, fronmWestchester avenue to Boston avenue, is 4,850 feet in length. The necessity of acquiring legal title to this street is manifest. I therefore respectfully recommend that the prayer of the petitioners be granted and that the

Note—The total length of Jackson avenue, from Westchester avenue to Boston avenue, is 4,850 feet.

Which was adopted by the following vote: Affirmative --The Mayor, the Comptroller, the Commissioner of Public Works, the President of

TO THE PUBLIC.

O \VING TO THE CONTINUANCE OF THE drought in the water-sheds of the Croton river

and the Bronx river, and the consequent depletion of the supply held in reserve in the storage reser- voirs, it becomes necessary to carefully husband the water supply and to limit its consumption to actual necessities for domestic and business use and for protection from fires until the supply at its sources is replenished and increased by copious rain- fall. The people of this city are, therefore, earnestly requested to use the greatest possible economy in the consumption of water, and to abstain from careless or wanton waste, or any use of the water except such as is necessary for domestic and business pursuits and the protection of the public health. For some time past. and up to this date, the daily consumption has been 165,cco,000 gallons, or nearly Too gallons per capita, and there is no possible doubt that, with the exercise of care and economy, the consumption can safely be reduced to one-halfthat quantity without interfering with the com-fort business and health of the population. Persistence in wasteful or luxurious use of the water would result in curtailing the supply to the extent of diminishing it below the actual needs for comfort, health and protec-tion from fires by the decrease of the pressures in the distributing mains and the elevation at which the water can be delivered in the houses, and this contingency can only be averted by the economical use of the water on the part of every consumer.

The draughts upon the reserve supply in the storage reservoirs and lakes began on May Ir, when the natural flow of the Croton river fell below the quantity drawn for daily consumption, and have continued without in- terruption to the present day. The total quantity of stored water drawn to date is I-4,o4w,'u0o,00w gallons, averaging 95,000,000 gallons per day, and amounting at times to ISc',0Ooa.03 gallons per day.

The holders of permits for using water through hose for washing house-fronts, stoops, areas and sidewalks, have been notified to discontinue such use of water at once, and the members of the Police Force are earnestly requested to enforce this prohibition, and to exercise special vigilance to prevent the use of water through hose and from the fire-hydrants except by the uniformed force of the Fire Department or under special permits from this Department.
