 the year. 



NEW BUILDINGS AND INSTALLATIONS. 



The Glass Court, which is really an addition to the Bird House, 

 was completed during the year, filled with small birds, and opened 

 to the public early in October, 1906. 



The Small-Deer House, occupying the site of the old Antelope 

 Range, west of the Antelope House, is nearly completed and in 

 all probability will be occupied about May i. 



Baird Court. — The western and northern boundary walls, bal- 

 ustrades and approach steps to Baird Court have been entirely 

 completed, and the sloping Italian Garden will be prepared and 

 planted during the Spring. Contracts for the pavilions and gates 

 at the entrance to the Concourse itself were awarded during the 

 year. The work is now under way and will be completed early 

 in the Spring. 



The Feed- Barn and enclosing fence have been completed and 

 the work shops and storage yards are now entirely screened from 

 view. 



At the Boston Road entrance, the retaining w^all and plaza, the 

 entrance pavilion, and all the walks connecting with the Antelope 

 House and Buffalo Range have been completed, together with a 

 l^rge amount of planting. The Public Comfort Building on 

 Boston Road was partly finished, but owing to an irregularity in 

 the contract between the City and the contractor, work was sus- 

 pended. The building, however, will be completed during 1907. 



The Boat House has been finished and w'ill be ready for use 

 early in the Spring. The upper floor of this building will be used 

 for a restaurant, and will largely increase the receipts of the 

 Privilege Account. A large amount of miscellaneous construc- 

 tion work has been done, the details of which will be found in the 

 report of the Director of the Park. 



PLANS FOR 1907. 



The most important building remaining to be constructed in 

 the Park is the Elephant House. Plans for the building have 

 been carefully studied during the year and are now in the hands 

 of the Park Department, and a contract for the construction of 

 this building will be awarded at an early date. 



Plans have been prepared for a zebra installation, to occupy
