(2) Improvements 



This year saw the completion of our land clearing (stumping, stoning and 

 breaking up) for use in the propagation of trees for shipping. The roads through 

 all this land have been laid out and hedged. Considerable hedging with spruce 

 was done both in the spring and early fall months. About half a mile of our 

 main road was surfaced with clay and gravel. 



This year the park was greatly improved and new additions added to it. 

 Adequate seating and fire-place accommodation was provided. Lights were 

 installed in the older section of this beauty spot. 



One of the permanent houses had a verandah added to it and a pressure 

 water system installed. 



The perennial border at the superintendent's house was further developed 

 and made a wonderful display during the summer season. 



The ditches on the highway and sixth concession near headquarters were 

 improved and stoned.
