to relay the tile drains from the Wild-Fowl 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. 



ImpK)rtant 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.
