The Work on the Central Park, We have already expressed our views with referenoe te the plam adopted for the Central Park. We think it admits of many modifications snd amendments, which, if carried out, would give us a better and more economical park, But as it appears that the Park is to be constructed om Mr, Olmsted's plan, with such trivial alterations as he or the commissioners may from time to time suggest, it is desirable that the work should te pushed on with all pos sible speed. It is just four months since operations were fairly commenced under the present architect-in-chief. During that time the maxitoum number of men employed has Deen twenty-three hundred, and the minimum we be- Neve thirteen hundred. Out of six hundred thousand dol- Jars grapied by the Common Council in three different sums, the wtal amount draw» on commissioners’ warrants to this time is $348,624, besides liabilities not yet drawo for of about $50,000 more, Thissum is just one fourth of the entire appropriation allowed by the Legisiature for the completion of the park; aud judging from the amount of work siready accomplished, we fear that the allotted bum Of $1,600,000 will fall short of the amount required to curry out the adopted plan. In this event we must either Dave enother appropriation or an uncompleted park. The work beretofore done is of s most expensive character, owirgto the rocky nature of the soi] and the scarcity of material for Gl ing ip. In some places the gradiog of the roads bad to be temporarily abandoned for want of mate- rial and upless the Common Council consent to giving Hamilton equare to the Commissioners Wo be cat down aud veed for thie purpoee, the cost of procuring material wil be fnormovs; probably it will amount toa dollar for every yard of filling in and enppiying soil; and as the sur face toil on nearly the whole face of the park is inade- quate to the growth of large trees, the rok bottom at the aides of ali the roads will have to be covered to the depth of five feet or more in order to plant shade trees. The sar. face taken from the lakes has been appropriated to this purpoee, but the quentity is, of course, wholly Insufficient. We are informed that the property owsers in the vicinity of Ilamilton equare are willing that it should be cut down in accordance with the desires of the Central Park Commissioners ; and if so, we see no rea son wby the Common Counci] should not accede to their request, Kverything that will facilitate the completion of the Park, consistent with other interests, should be done. In regard to the work accomplished up to this period, it mey be raid ‘hat nearly one half the labor, in poiatof time, at least, on the lowor Park is done. Tho grading of the promenade and roads ie in a very fair stage of ad- vencement, #0 much so that it is probable a porkoo of them may be opened for public use in five or aix weeks. As yet po fuil-grown trees have Deen transplanted, but quite a large number of young trecs of various kinds have been svt out through: outthe grounds, The draining in the park has beena djffleult and expeserve work, and has apparently given satisfaction to the engineers employed on it, though we hove beard iteaid by others that the pipes are not Inid in a manner calculated to offect & thorough draivege The estimated cost of draining is $30 000, and if it should be imperfectly dove St will bea very serious evil. The force now employed on the park is two thousand Shree hucdred men, not including the engineer corps, and the cutlay Imited to $50,000 a month—the application of Mr Olmsted to the Board for permission to employ seven benored more baving been refused at @ late mesting; but we believe another attempt will be made fo put en moro men im the course of a week or two, which we (ruat will be successful. The osat of the Perk wil) be the same in the end, aud the work might as well be hastened on by the application of « large force of abor, We would like to see five or ten thousand men at work \here—then we might have a park ip two years; ba under the present system jt may take ten years to finish It.
