to relay the tile drains from the Wild-Fow] Pond that run un- 
derneath this pavilion, and to build a small cellar under the 
refreshment stall at the south end of the building. This new 
floor, which cost $850, is a great improvement, being more 
sightly and also more sanitary than the old wood floor. 
Storage Shed.—The beams and other woodwork removed 
from the Shelter Pavilion were used in the completion of the 
new Storage Shed, situated north of and parallel with the Work- 
shops Building. This storage house, used for lumber, etc., makes 
a very valuable adjunct to our plant. 
A heating system was installed in the new Garage. 
Important repairs were made on the side walls of the Sea- 
Lion Pool, portions of which had become disintegrated because 
of the poor quality of concrete supplied by the contractors. 
At the Tea House, the steps were partially rebuilt. 
Walk repairs were strictly limited to those places where 
they were most urgently needed. 
Pheasant Cages.—Five steel pheasant cages, covering an 
area of 2,850 square feet, which were donated by Col. Anthony 
R. Kuser, were taken down at Bernardsville, and moved to the 
Park. Two of them, after being slightly remodeled, were set 
up north of the Pheasants’ Aviary upon a concrete foundation, 
and supplied with pavement and drainage. 
New Railing.—A new railing eight hundred feet long was 
erected on the west side of the Boston Road, between the Buffalo 
and Boston Road entrances, to replace the old rustic railing that 
had become dilapidated and dangerous. 
Flag Poles.—Two large flag-poles were erected; one at Baird 
Court, just south of the Italian Garden, and the other one on the 
hill near the Rocking Stone. 
MAINTENANCE WORK. 
Repairs.—In addition to the construction work mentioned, 
_ the usual amount of repairs and replacements to buildings, from 
cellars to roofs, was accomplished, involving work by men in all 
of the building trades. Many fences, also, were repaired.
