Pelham Avenue, of which the Telford foundation was laid in 

 1 901 about half-way, has been completed to the southern 

 line of the garden reservation, a distance of about 1,600 feet. 

 Only minor work, such as draining and grading the edges, 

 will be required to finish this work in the spring. In con- 

 nection with the paths constructed by the John B. Devlin 

 Contracting Co., we have built and completed 1,500 feet of 

 paths on the terrace of the conservatories ; and a path 310 

 feet in length to connect them with those leading to the her- 

 baceous grounds. 



There have been completed about one half of the paths of 

 which the Telford foundation was laid in 1901, along the 

 west side of the herbaceous grounds (all 11 feet in width), 

 and two thirds of the path from the eastern drinking foun- 

 tain toward the herbaceous grounds (about 280 feet). A 

 road has been constructed to connect the main driveway with 

 the cellar of the conservatories. 



The entrance to the Garden from the Southern Boulevard 

 bridge has been graded and regulated, and two paths com- 

 pleted, one leading northerly and ending at the Harlem Rail- 

 road station, and one curving to the southwest ending at the 

 coal-delivery road of the power house ; this, when continued, 

 will lead to the Manhattan Railway station. A path on the 

 east side of the main driveway has been connected with one 

 built by the Devlin Company, and taking a northerly direc- 

 tion ends at the drinking fountain in front of the museum ; it 

 is now open from the Manhattan Railway station approach to 

 the museum building. Work on the road, 40 feet in width, 

 under construction from the lake through the fruticetum and 

 north meadows to the northern boundary of the Garden and 

 across the river, is progressing. Over 500 cubic yards of 

 top-soil have been removed in grading for this road and hauled 

 in front of the museum building.
