TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT 95 
the musk-ox bulls made it necessary to rebuild three of the parti- 
tions and a portion of the front. These fences were made in 
accordance with our heavy partition fence design, with three- 
inch tee posts and three-inch heavy horizontal tee bars, sur- 
mounted by the ordinary wire fence. A heavy concrete retain- 
ing wall and coping was built along the westerly side of these 
corrals, and new gates of extra strong construction were 
furnished. 
Pipe Line to the Boat House.—A new three-inch lead water- 
main was installed at the Boat House, to take the place of the 
iron main that was very much corroded and liable to fail at 
any time. This necessitated extensive excavation work across 
the Boston Road pavement, the sidewalk, and the main Park 
walk west of the Boat House. 
New Garage.—In order to provide a long-needed storage 
place for automobiles, a very simple garage was built in the 
second portion of the Service Yard, just north of the Workshop 
building. Unfortunately, the funds that were available did not 
permit the erection of a building sufficiently large to take care 
of future developments in the Park’s motor service. The build- 
ing that was erected has proven to be a great relief from very 
bad conditions. The garage is 21’ 4” x 58’ in size, of brick and 
concrete construction, and conforms with the rigid demands of 
the Fire and Building Departments. 
Storage Shed.—Utterly insufficient storage facilities com- 
pelled the erection of a brick storage shed 26’ 6” x 75’ 71%” 
in size, north of and parallel with the Workshop building. In 
construction this is similar to the Garage that adjoins that build- 
ing on the east. Only the concrete foundations were put up 
before the ending of the year, but with fairly good weather the 
building should be completed by April 1, 1917. Through this 
effort, dry storage for lumber, steel, iron, cement, plaster, paints 
and oils will be provided. 
MAINTENANCE WORK. 
The usual work in the general maintenance of buildings 
and other Park installations, and in the care of lawns, gardens, 
trees and shrubs, walks and roads, was carried on as usual 
throughout the year; at times taxing the resources of this De-
