and Assistant Editor, the Medical Assistant, Label Writer, and 

 the store-rooms for publications and stationery. 



In the rear of the Service Building is a spacious paved yard, 

 inclosed on three sides by work-shops and store-rooms, which 

 stand in the following order: 



EAST SIDE. WEST SIDE. 



Paint Shop. Plumber. 



General Blacksmith, 



storage. Carpenters. 



REAR. 



Dissecting Room, Vehicles, Forestry Department. Barn. 

 Lumber Storage. 



The Service Building is connected by Park telephone lines 

 with every large building in the Park, the Nursery, and each 

 entrance paviHon. Two fire hydrants are within 300 feet of the 

 building. A fire-alarm gong has been placed on the front of the

 are accessible within. The building is heated by steam, will 

 shortly be lighted by electricity, and is entirely isolated from 

 work-shops liable to catch fire. The Chief Clerk's office con- 

 tains good safes, and every reasonable precaution is observed 

 against both fire and thieves.

 the past year has been quite as much as could be expected at 

 this early stage of the Park's existence. Mr. ^Mitchell is entitled
