To tHE Boarp or EstiMATE AND APPORTIONMENT: 
Gentlemen: On February 3, 1915, you referred to the Bureau of Con- 
tract Supervision, a communication from the Commissioner of Parks, 
Borough of Brooklyn, dated February 2, 1915, requesting approval of 
plans, form of contract, specifications and estimates of cost, 5,078.25, for 
the construction of walks, etc, in the addition to southerly end of the 
Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Borough of Brooklyn. 
It is proposed to charge the cost of the work to corporate stock funds 
entitled C.D.P. 200-J, Grading and Improvement, Brooklyn Botanic Gar- 
den, and C.D.P. 200-K, Construction of Roads, Walks, etc. Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden. This request provides for the construction of about 
1,530 linear feet of asphalt walk, 15 feet in width, together with necessary 
sodding and topsoil and suitable provision for drainage, including vitrified 
pipe and catch basins. 
The construction of about one half of this path is very necessary, as 
the public makes considerable use of a legal right-of-way from Washing- 
ton avenue across this property to Flatbush Avenue, at Willwick entrance 
to Prospect Park, the property having been purchased subject to such 
right-of-way. 
The plans, as submitted, provide for this path, and complete the system 
of walks and walk drainage, as designed by Olmstead Brothers, land- 
scape architects of Brookline, Mass.
