    6    S 2. The authorization provided in section one of this  act  shall  be
    7  effective  only upon the condition that the city of New York dedicate an
    8  amount equal to or greater than the fair market value of the section  of
    9  wall  being conveyed by this act, for an acquisition of additional park-
   10  lands and/or for capital improvements to existing park and  recreational
