 is roofed and sheathed with rust-resisting galvanized steel and 

 is placed upon a concrete foundation in a most permanent man-

 At the Eagles' Aviary we continued to take down the rusted 

 framework and replace structural steel filled with waterproof 

 cement, until now only five more cages remain to be done. 



Walk Repairs. 

 Of walk and road repairs we were able to resurface 16,000

 was done by making connection with the main at the north end 

 of the Primate House. 



Haymaking. 

 By arrangement with the Department of Water Supply, we 

 were able to cut the entire crop of hay at Hill View Reservoir 

 at Yonkers, and by hiring outside help and using the motor 

 trucks to do the hauling, about sixty tons of hay were cut and

 made the operation rather difficult. 



Electrical Apparatus and Auto Trucks. 

 Because the maintenance fund does not allow the employ- 

 ment of sufficient mechanics to take care of the various electrical
