(2) Improvements 



The grounds around the superintendent's house were graded and the roads 

 were laid out. Later in the season the area was sown with grass seed and hedges 

 put in. 



A new double garage was erected in connection with this house. It was 

 finished in artificial brick to match the house. 



Considerable fencing was required to finish the fencing of the land recently 

 acquired. 



Considerable new nursery land has been opened up. This required many 

 hedges to be laid out and planted this year. 



The C.P.R. erected a large dam to form a reservoir on the stream flowing 

 through our property. This is immediately below our reservoir. 



A neat cement block pumping station was erected close to the reservoir. 

 This system was connected up with six-inch mains with their 10,700-gallon tank 

 at the Midhurst station, 



A by-pass connection was provided between our mains and those of the 

 C.P.R. to be used in case of an emergency. 



The C.P.R. erected a rustic bridge over their reservoir, and did much to 

 beautify the surroundings. 



Considerable road work was done on the property this year.
