46 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 



No new construction has been attempted with the exception of the 

 wiring of three cages that had been started in the previous fiscal year 

 and left unfinished and the construction of 20 small cages for the 

 bird house. These are to house a collection of the smaller cage birds. 



The blueprints, tracings, and maps of the Park had outgrown the 

 original system of filing and were suffering seriously from lack of proper 

 care. With the use of labor supplied by the Work Planning and Job 

 Assignment Committee, they were sorted, classified, and filed. 



No satisfactory map of the Park has been available for several years, 

 and the developments of recent years have emphasized the need for a 

 good map. The preparation of a topographic map on the scale of 50 

 feet to the inch has been undertaken by using the 1906 topographic 

 base of this scale and bringing it up to date by inserting thereon the 

 changes in topography and structures that have come about since the 

 map was prepared. 



NEEDS OF THE ZOO 



I wish again to call attention to the inadequate police force and 

 to the need for suitable buildings. 

 Respectfully submitted. 



W. M. Mann, Director. 

 Dr. C. G. Abbot, 



Secretary, Smithsonian Institution.
