to replace the present Southern Boulevard through the 

 grounds. 



Terraces were built and sodded around both ends of the 

 museum building, greatly improving the immediate surround- 

 ings of that building. 



The land between the museum building and the station was 

 brought to a finished surface and sown, except along the mar- 

 gins of the paths and driveways where it was sodded. 



Some additional excavation has been done at the rear of the 

 museum building, but only sufficient to effect satisfactory 

 drainage. 



The land between the station, the Southern Boulevard and 

 the piece of driveway connecting the Southern Boulevard 

 with the plaza facing the station, has also been brought to an 

 approximately finished surface and sown. The land imme- 

 diately east of this piece of driveway has also been parti- 

 ally graded. 



Some work has been done in establishing the subgrade of 

 the path planned to extend from this piece of driveway south- 

 east toward the Hemlock Forest, but the completion of this 

 work has been deferred until the architectural features con- 

 templated in front of the museum are executed. 



The slope from the museum building east to the main 

 driveway has been partially made and some work has been 

 done at other points along this driveway to make it secure 

 from storm water during the winter ; the swampy piece of 

 ground which formerly existed at the point where this drive- 

 way connects with the Southern Boulevard has been filled ; 

 the triangle formed by the intersection of the driveways south 

 of the museum has also been filled, brought to a finished sur- 

 face and sown. 



Considerable work has been done in completing the ter- 

 races around the main conservatories, the portions immedi- 

 ately against that building having been brought to a finished 

 surface and sown ; work is still progressing here, to meet the 

 new contract for grading and road-building in that part of the 

 Park.
