DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING. 



George M. Beerbower, Civil Engineer. 



Our engineer has been kept so closely confined to the super- 

 intendance of construction of the Public Service Building that 

 he has had but little time to devote to other duties. At the very 

 commencement of the foundations for this building it was found 

 necessary that the Society should have a representative con-

 ing construction. This necessity was demonstrated almost daily 

 as the work progressed. Work on that structure began in the 

 fall of 1912, and will continue into the year 1914. 



The Service Building includes an ice-manufacturing and 

 refrigeration plant, with cold storage and ice cream manufac- 

 turing installations; also a steam laundry, cook-room for ani- 

 mals* food, and other unusual features, all of which demanded a 

 close inspection of every detail of the work. 



Our engineer also revised the plans for the Yak Shelter and 

 laid out the building on the grounds, and plotted and staked out 

 the fence-lines of the corrals, together with the water-supply 

 -and drainage system. 



The grading around the Eagle and Vulture Aviary and 

 Zebra House was planned and staked out, also the walks, and a 

 chain of small lakes eastward of the two structures named. 



A high serpentine terrace wall of rustic stone was planned 

 and staked out on the top of bluff east of the Rocking Stone 

 Restaurant and detailed drawings for a bluestone coping for 

 this wall were also prepared, contract let and work supervised. 



The plans were made for an enlarged service yard for the 

 Rocking Stone Restaurant. This work was also laid out on the
