Second Battalion Naval Militia-Hiring by, of Premises at No. 2 Rector Street, Borough of Manhattan. Laid over. President, Borough of Brooklyn-Turning Over by, of a Small Triangular Gore at the Corner of Bushwick and Myrtle Avenues, Borough of Brooklyn. The following was received: Honorable Sinking Fund Commission, New York City: January 3, 1916. Gentlemen-The Department of Parks, in a communication addressed to the Borough President dated December 9, 1915, expressed a desire to have this depart ment turn over to them the small triangular gore or plot of land at the corner of Bushwick avenue and Myrtle avenue. The Chief Engineer of our Topographical Bureau, to whom this was referred, reports that the plot in question was laid out on the City map as a public place by action of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, adopted December 15, 1905. Its dimensions are about 28 feet on Myrtle avenue, 20 feet on Willoughby avenue and 15 feet on Bushwick avenue, and the area is 144 square feet. The curbs and sidewalks have been set around this public place, so that the total area within the curb lines is about 4,680 square feet. The fee title to the public place was acquired through condemnation proceedings confirmed March 27, 1912, and the cost was assessed upon a local area of assessment containing about 125 city lots. The three streets adjacent to the triangular plot are all legally open and their widths are, on Myrtle avenue, 70 feet; Willoughby avenue, 60 feet, and Bushwick avenue, 120 feet, with roadway widths respectively 34, 30 and 52 feet. There are several columns of the Myrtle avenue elevated railroad situated at the curb line on the Myrtle avenue side of the triangle. Should the public place be entirely paved over and used as a street these columns would stand in the roadway, but the paving of the roadway does not seem necessary at this time as the traffic at this point is not sufficiently heavy to require an area greater than that provided by the present roadways. We have, therefore, no objection to turning this property over to the Park Department, and we hereby release this plot of ground. The Commissioner of Parks, we believe, will make a request to have this turned over to his department. E. W. VOORHIES, Commissioner, Public Works. Yours very truly.

I therefore respect fully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund assign to the Department of Parks, Borough of Brooklyn, a small triangular gore at the corner of Bushwick and Myrtle Avenues, Brooklyn, being 28 feet on Myrtle Avenue, 20 feet on Willoughby Avenue and 15 feet on Bushwick Avenue, containing an area of 144 square feet.
